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.
The purpose of this study is to look at the heart rate and rhythm information collected daily in Medtronic implantable pulse generators (IPG), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. The study will gather this information from many patients to see if heart rate or rhythm data can predict the risk of a patient having a medical condition such as stroke.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity in subjects retreated with visilizumab or placebo after a response in a prior visilizumab study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of visilizumab to placebo in subjects with intravenous steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without these beta cells, the body cannot maintain proper blood glucose levels in response to daily activities such as eating or exercise. With fewer insulin producing cells blood glucose increases, causing hunger, thirst, and unexplained weight loss. By the time these symptoms develop, 80-90% of a person's beta cells have already been destroyed. However, this also means that between 10-20% of these cells remain that continue to produce insulin. Scientists have learned that two types of immune cells, B cells and T cells, are involved in causing type 1 diabetes. T cells are responsible for attacking and destroying the beta cells that make insulin. Although they don't attack insulin producing cells, B cells may be what trigger the T cells to attack. This study will investigate the use of rituximab to see if it can help lower the number of immune B cells thereby preventing the destruction of any remaining insulin producing beta cells that remain at diagnosis. Rituximab is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of a condition called B-lymphocyte lymphoma. Its effects on the immune system are well understood through its use in organ transplantation. Research has shown that rituximab might be helpful in treating other conditions caused by T cells and B cells, including type 1 diabetes. The goal of this study is to find out if rituximab can preserve residual insulin secretion and prevent further beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes.
This study will compare insulin lispro low mixture [LM] and insulin glargine both in combination with the patient's oral diabetes medicines, for their ability to control blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes and compare insulin lispro LM to insulin glargine with regard to the length of time that the overall blood sugar can be controlled. This study will also determine whether the safety of insulin lispro LM and any side effects that might be associated with it are different from those observed with insulin glargine, both in combination with the patient's oral diabetes medications. The addendum study (Intensification Addendum) will compare how different insulin treatments work to control blood sugar in patients whose diabetes could not be controlled by either insulin lispro LM or insulin glargine.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 3 doses of lecozotan in combination with a cholinesterase inhibitor in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Study will assess the safety and effectiveness of 12 week treatment with the study medication, Bronchitol, in subjects with bronchiectasis (a lung disease where patients have trapped, and often infected, thick, sticky mucus). Past studies have shown Bronchitol inhalation may help to facilitate the clearance of mucus by altering its rheology (making it less thick and sticky), thereby enhancing the shift of stagnant mucus from the lungs. On completion of the double blind phase, subjects will have the opportunity to participate in a 52 week open label phase.
A dose defining study of the protease inhibitor tipranavir (TPV), boosted with low dose ritonavir (RTV). Three dose combinations of TPV/RTV are administered to multiple antiretroviral experienced patients and the dose that achieves the best efficacy and safety as determined by evaluation of 2, 8, and 24-week virologic response and adverse event and laboratory profile measures would be selected for further clinical study.
To evaluate the FOLFOX regimen versus LV5FU2 in the adjuvant treatment of stage II and III colon cancer. Primary objective: Disease Free Survival (DFS) Secondary objective: Overall Survival (OS), safety (including long term toxicity)
This phase III trial is studying how well radiation therapy, amifostine, and chemotherapy work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with amifostine and chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
