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.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of peginesatide injection for maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on peritoneal dialysis.
Smoking causes both smoking related lung disease (COPD) and ischaemic heart disease. These are very common conditions and many patients have both diseases. Beta-blocker drugs are extensively used in the treatment of angina, high blood pressure and after heart attacks to decrease symptoms and prolong life. Beta-agonists are used in COPD to decrease breathlessness and improve exercise tolerance. It used to be thought that beta-blockers cannot be used in COPD patients as they may make the breathlessness worse, but it has now been established that they can be used safely. Beta-blocker drugs and beta-agonists have 'opposite' effects on the body and the investigators do not know if they can work together or if they would cancel each other out. The investigators also do not know which of the different types of beta-blockers now available are better for COPD patients. This study will investigate what happens to the airways of people taking both of these drugs.
This study evaluated the efficacy of oral panobinostat in participants with refractory/relapsed classical Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) who have received prior treatment with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Safety of panobinostat also was assessed. Other markers that may correlate with efficacy or safety were explored.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that participants with Paget's disease of the bone who had responded to zoledronic acid treatment as participants in the core registration studies CZOL446K2304 and CZOL446K2305 and later experienced a relapse can be successfully treated with a 5 milligram (mg) infusion of zoledronic acid.
This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of two different CPAP devices. One a standard CPAP which has the ability to store comprehensive compliance and efficacy data and the second a auto adjusting CPAP which uses the energy spectrum analysis of flow signals to automatically adjust CPAP pressure and improve sleep variables.
The purpose of this study is to assess the durability of effect of Droxidopa in treating symptoms of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in patients with Primary Autonomic Failure (Pure Autonomic Failure, Multiple System Atrophy, Parkinson's Disease), Non-diabetic neuropathy, or Beta Hydroxylase deficiency.
The aim of therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) is to maintain suppression of viral replication to prevent the emergence of complications, which requires long-term therapy. Durable suppression of viral replication is achieved in the treatment of chronic viral diseases by preventing of the emergence of drug-resistant mutations. The clinical guidelines for the management of lamivudine resistant patients are variable. Some recommend switching to another agent without cross-resistance, while others recommend adding on another agent without cross-resistance. Limited clinical data exists to demonstrate whether tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) is an effective monotherapy for lamivudine resistant patients or if it should be used as part of a combination therapy regimen. This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir DF monotherapy versus emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir DF combination therapy in participants with chronic HBV with lamivudine resistance (presence of the rtM204I/V mutation with or without the rtL180M mutation) over a 240-week period. Participants in this study must be receiving lamivudine treatment at the time of enrollment.
This study evaluates the effects of 12-week treatment with two doses of tiotropium bromide (2.5 mcg q.d. and 5 mcg q.d.) compared to placebo administered via the Respimat device on lung function in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. The selection of the optimal dose will be based on bronchodilator efficacy, safety evaluations and pharmacokinetic evaluations
Nexagon™ is a novel compound that promotes wound healing by temporarily disrupting cellular communication at the wound site, thereby promoting accelerated healing, reducing inflammation and pain. This randomized double-blind study will assess the safety, tolerability and clinical effect of Nexagon™ when applied to skin wounds created by punch biopsy in healthy volunteers. 43 healthy, fair-skinned males and females between ages 18-40 will be enrolled. Subjects will be reviewed again at 3 months and 9 months for follow-up safety assessments and wound appearance evaluation.
The objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (5 mg / once daily) given for 78 weeks in different modalities of treatment. The treatment modalities are determined by the treatment in the blinded trial in which every patient was included previously as BI 1356 in monotherapy (patients in 1218.16 trial), BI 1356 in combination with pioglitazone (patients in 1218.15 trial), BI 1356 added to metformin background (patients in 1218.17 trial) or BI 1356 added to a background therapy of metformin in combination with a sulphonylurea (patients in 1218.18 study)
