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 study is to compare the effect of ipratropium bromide/salbutamol inhalation spray combination administered by the Respimat® inhaler (20 mcg/100 mcg), ipratropium bromide inhalation spray administered by the Respimat® inhaler (20 mcg), and COMBIVENT® MDI administered q.i.d on FEV1 at intervals over a treatment period of 12 weeks in patients with COPD. Specifically, non-inferiority of Combivent Respimat® to COMBIVENT® MDI in FEV1 AUC from 0 to 6 hours , superiority of Combivent Respimat® to Atrovent Respimat® monotherapy in FEV1 AUC from 0 to 4 hours, and non-inferiority of Combivent Respimat® to Atrovent Respimat® monotherapy in FEV1 AUC from 4 to 6 hours will be analyzed. In addition, steady state pharmacokinetics over one dosing interval following 4 weeks of therapy will be characterized in a subgroup of patients.
This study is designed to determine if the investigational drug is effective and safe in individuals with asthma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of weekly augmentation therapy with ARALAST Fraction IV-1 (Fr IV-1) on epithelial lining fluid (ELF) alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor levels and other ELF analytes and to assess the safety of the treatment. Eligible subjects with a diagnosis of severe congenital alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency will receive 8 consecutive weekly treatments with 60 mg/kg/week of functional ARALAST Fr IV-1 administered intravenously. The efficacy and safety assessments will include two bronchoscopies with bronchoalveolar lavage on study initiation and on study termination and multiple imaging and laboratory safety assessments. Each subject will participate for a minimum of 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of alogliptin, once daily (QD), and pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone.
SB-683699 is an oral medication that is thought to reduce the number of active white blood cells entering the brain; these white blood cells are part of the disease process for MS. This study will look at whether different doses of SB-683699 are effective and safe in patients with relapsing remitting MS.
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of Ig NextGen 16% in people with antibody deficiency currently being treated with IntragamP. Ig NextGen 16% is a liquid immunoglobulin (antibody) preparation manufactured using predominately chromatographic techniques. Eligible patients will switch from monthly intravenous IntragamP therapy to weekly subcutaneous Ig NextGen 16% treatment. Initial hospital training will be required for subcutaneous administration and then the patient will perform the infusion in their own home, returning once a month for a supervised infusion. Patients will be monitored on the study for up to 10 months to assess blood IgG levels and rate of serious bacterial infections.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled study of a new experimental drug called darusentan. Darusentan is not currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that a doctor cannot prescribe this drug. The purpose of this study is to determine if darusentan is effective in reducing systolic and diastolic hypertension despite treatment with full doses of three or more antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic. Subjects will be randomized to darusentan (optimized dose), an active comparator, or placebo, administered orally. The treatment period for this trial is 14 weeks.
This is an open-label, international, multi-center study designed to provide access to pazopanib for subjects who have been enrolled in the Phase III renal cell carcinoma study (VEG105192) and have progressed on placebo. Subjects will receive 800 mg pazopanib once daily. The study treatment will continue until subjects experience disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pazopanib for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. The secondary objectives of the study are to assess response rate (defined as complete response or partial response), progression-free survival, and overall survival. Response rates will be collected per investigator assessment (no central review). Subjects will have a CT/MRI scan every 6 weeks until week 24 and every 12 weeks thereafter.
This is a research study of head cooling. Its goal is to determine whether cooling babies' heads can reduce or prevent brain damage that may have resulted from temporarily reduced oxygen supply to the brain. In this study, half of the babies (selected at random) will have a special cooling cap with circulating water placed on their head for 72 hours to lower the temperature of their brain. The rest of the baby's body will be maintained at a defined temperature by a standard overhead radiant heater. The study protocol includes the taking and analysis of blood samples, performance of brain wave tests, imaging of the brain by ultrasound, and other tests as clinically indicated. Neurodevelopmental outcome will also be assessed at 18 months of age.
This is an adaptive Phase I study to evaluate RO5024048 in the following groups: - Healthy Volunteers (Part 1 - Single Ascending Dose Study) -Enrollment completed - Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infected patients who have failed interferon therapy (Part 2- Multiple Ascending Dose Study)-Enrollment Completed - HCV genotype 1-infected patients who are treatment naive, to be dosed in combination with PEG-IFN and RBV (Part 3 - Combination Dose Study)-Currently Enrolling - HCV genotype 2-3 infected patients who have previously been treated with interferon but who did not respond, to be dosed in combination with PEG-IFN and RBV (Part 3 - Combination Dose Study)- Currently enrolling The study aims to determine if RO5024048 is safe and well-tolerated in healthy people and in people infected with hepatitis C virus. The amount of RO5024048 in the blood will be measured during the study and the amount of hepatitis C virus in the blood after each dose will also be measured. During Part 3 of the study, RO5024048 will be given with PEG-IFN and RBV, two drugs currently used and approved for the treatment of HCV.
