There are about 10460 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Australia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Study to evaluate the safety of an investigational meningitis vaccine and the immune response to it in adolescents
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a single dose of rhBMP-2/CPM administered at the fracture site via percutaneous injection, in combination with standard of care, accelerates fracture union and return to normal function in subjects who have a closed diaphyseal tibial fracture when compared to standard of care alone.
A study to assess the safety of an investigational meningitis vaccine in toddlers and their immune response to it.
Primary Objective: In subjects who have undergone segmental colectomy, the time between the end of surgery and first bowel movement is significantly shorter with the investigational MOA-728 regimen than with a placebo regimen.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of repeat doses of SB-659032 with placebo on platelet aggregation in subjects.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term (one year) efficacy and safety of tiotropium delivered by the Respimat inhaler in patients with COPD. Specifically, the study will examine the effect of treatment on COPD exacerbations.
The primary purpose of the protocol is to evaluate the sensitivity of 3D-pQCT (3D-Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography) technology to detect minute changes in bone microarchitecture.
Participants will complete a self-selected intensity of exercising over a 6 month period, with detailed clinical assessments at commencement and completion to determine the rate of progression of parkinsonism and gait abnormalities
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether fracture union is accelerated in subjects with humeral fractures (proximal,diaphyseal) treated with conservative therapy (standard of care) and a single dose of rhBMP-2/CPM compared to subjects who receive standard of care alone.
This study looks at the effect of two drugs (carvedilol and metoprolol) which are used for patients with CHF (chronic heart failure). These agents are beta-blockers and, although effective in heart failure, may cause increases in airways tone and thus limit air getting into the lower parts of the lungs. Carvedilol is more active at blocking the receptor that opens up the airways and therefore theoretically may be more likely to reduce airways tone than metoprolol, although this has never been studied in patients with heart failure, and that is the purpose of the present study. We are looking to enrol 45 patients with heart failure and mild obstruction to the flow of air in their lungs. Patients will be randomised to either carvedilol or metoprolol (standard doses). Following a minimum of 2 weeks of therapy of study medication the patient will undergo a study day involving an assessment of their lung function, an assessment of their heart failure, a "living with heart failure" questionnaire, blood tests and blood pressure and heart rate readings. Patients will then be crossed over to the alternate medication. Following 2 weeks on the target dose the patient will undergo their second study day which will be the same as the first. The results obtained from each study day will be compared.
