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 primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations telmisartan 40mg/amlodipine 10mg (T40/A10) or telmisartan 80mg/amlodipine 10mg (T80/A10) during open-label treatment for at least six months. An additional objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of concomitant administration of either T40/A10 or T80/A10 with any other therapies commonly used in the treatment of hypertension. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving DBP control (defined as mean seated DBP < 90 mmHg at trough i.e. approximately 24 hours after last dose of study treatment) at six months of treatment or at last trough observation during the treatment period (i.e. last trough observation carried forward).
The MADIT-II trial has shown that patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) post myocardial infarction benefit from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). However, retrospective analyses of the MADIT-II data have revealed a significantly increased morbidity and mortality in patients with appropriate ICD therapy: Appropriate ICD therapy is associated with 3.3-fold increased all-cause mortality, and the risk of a first heart failure hospitalization is 90% higher after 1st appropriate ICD therapy. Hence, the 1st appropriate therapy might indicate the necessity and utility of further clinical diagnostics and therapy in these patients. This trial is designed to (i) improve the knowledge of the group characteristics of patients suffering from 1st appropriate ICD therapy, (ii) but moreover to take additional therapeutic steps to reduce the mortality of this patient population.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as PR-104, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving PR-104 together with G-CSF may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of PR-104 when given together with G-CSF in treating patients with solid tumors.
The study compared the 24-hour spirometry profile of indacaterol with that of placebo and with tiotropium as an active control in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
To assess the feasibility and safety of the Medtronic Bifurcation Stent System for the treatment of single de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries with reference vessel diameters (RVD) for the proximal main vessel of 3.8 - 4.3 mm, distal main branch of 3.0 - 3.5 mm, and side branch RVD up to 2.5 mm.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK232802 is safe and effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes associated with menopause.
The purpose of this placebo-controlled study is to determine if drotrecogin alfa (activated) treatment provides significant mortality reduction improvement in patients with septic shock compared with placebo treatment in patients receiving the current standard of care for septic shock. This study will also assess the effectiveness of drotrecogin alfa (activated) in reducing 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock and concomitant severe protein C deficiency.
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (5 mg once daily) compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control
The objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of the rotigotine patch in subjects with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease
This study will evaluate if extended therapy with oral rivaroxaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that can occur with patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and compare these results with those of the standard enoxaparin dose and duration regimen. The safety of rivaroxaban will also be studied.
