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.
Swallowing dysfunction after stroke is common, but there is no reliable evidence for how it should be managed other than perhaps by nasogastric tube. This study compared the effectiveness of standardised, low and high intensity behavioral intervention for dysphagia with that of “usual care”.
This is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy+bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab+erlotinib versus bevacizumab+erlotinib placebo in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
This is a Phase 3, multi-national, open-label, 2-arm randomized study in patients with surgically incurable metastatic melanoma who have received no prior chemotherapy, or biochemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to compare overall survival for patients with advanced melanoma who are randomized to receive CP-675,206 with that of patients who are randomized to receive either dacarbazine or temozolomide (investigator choice)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate risperidone long-acting injection (an antipsychotic medication) versus oral antipsychotics in schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self) participants with a history of being poorly compliant with taking their medication.
The purpose of this study is to determine how effective and safe a new investigational drug is in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The treatment involves daily dosing. A patient may continue to receive the treatment as long as they are benefiting from the treatment. Blood samples will be taken at specific times to measure the amount of drug in your body at specific times after the drug is given. Blood samples will also be taken for lab tests such as complete blood counts and clinical chemistries. Physical exams will be performed before each treatment. During the treatment phase, the patients will undergo regular assessments for safety and clinical response.
This study evaluates the effect of medicines for type 2 diabetes and lipids control. This study will require about 6 office visits for lab tests and examinations. All study related medicines and medical examinations will be provided at no cost to the subjects.
The purpose of this study is to learn if Belatacept can provide protection from organ rejection following kidney transplantation while avoiding some of the toxic effects of standard immunosuppressive medications such as kidney damage. Effects on kidney function and patient survival as well as drug safety will also be studied.
This is a randomized, open label, parallel group, multi-centre, phase II study of progression free survival, comparing oral ZD1839 (IRESSA™) (250 mg tablet once daily) to vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 infusion on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) in chemonaïve, elderly patients with locally advanced (stage IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)is a non invasive technique which uses a very weak current to change excitability in targeted regions of the brain. Early studies suggest that it has antidepressant properties. This study will test the safety and efficacy of tDCS as a treatment for depression.
The study aims at identifying the predictive markers after one month of Saizen therapy in Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) and Turner Syndrome children.
