There are about 2459 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in New Zealand. 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.
This 2 arm study investigated the efficacy and safety of the addition of bevacizumab to the current standard of care (multimodality therapy of concurrent radiotherapy plus temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide) as compared to the current standard of care alone. Participants were randomly assigned to either the bevacizumab (10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously [IV] once every 2 week [q2w]) or the placebo arm, in combination with radiation therapy (total dose 60 Gray [Gy], administered as 2 Gy fractions, 5 days/week) plus temozolomide (75 milligrams per meter squared [mg/m^2] oral administration [po] daily) for 6 weeks. After a 4 week treatment break, participants continued to receive bevacizumab (10 mg/kg IV q2w) or placebo, plus temozolomide (150-200 mg/m^2 po daily on days 1-5 of each 4 week cycle) for 6 cycles of maintenance treatment or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occured first. Following the maintenance phase, bevacizumab (15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks [q3w]) or placebo monotherapy continued. The time on study treatment was until disease progression.
This was a randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate deferasirox vs placebo in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (low/int-1 risk) and transfusional iron overload .The trial was conducted in 17 countries, started in 2010 and ended in 2018.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of xenotransplantation of DIABECELL(R)[immunoprotected (alginate-encapsulated) porcine islets] in patients with established type 1 diabetes mellitus, and to establish preliminary evidence of the efficacy of DIABECELL(R), as measured by a reduction in serial hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) levels.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of single doses of compound 1278863A in subjects with renal impairment.
The investigators hypothesize that following virological failure of a standard NNRTI+2N(T)RTI regimen second-line antiretroviral therapy consisting of ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and 2N(T)RTIs will offer comparable efficacy to that provided by ritonavir-boosted lopinavir and raltegravir. The study will be conducted for 96-weeks with the primary endpoint analyzed after 48-weeks. The primary endpoint is virological: a comparison of virological suppression in plasma < 200 copies/mL between the randomized arms after 48 weeks. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include virological, immunological, safety, clinical, metabolic, drug adherence, drug resistance and quality of life.
This study was designed to investigate the 1 year efficacy and safety of the 50 µg once daily (od) dose of glycopyrronium bromide (NVA237) in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This study is a long-term post-treatment follow-up to study WV19432, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Patients who received treatment with PEGASYS, and completed follow-up, are eligible to enter this post-treatment follow-up study. The anticipated time on study was 5 years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate new or worsening lens opacifications in subjects with non-metastatic prostate cancer receiving denosumab for bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to collect and store brain tissue samples and blood from children with brain cancer that will be tested in the laboratory. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.
The purpose of this study is to collect and store tumor tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from patients with soft tissue sarcoma that will be tested in the laboratory. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer.
