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 examine the safety and effectiveness of GI262570 compared to placebo (a pill that looks exactly like GI262570 but contains no active medicine) in improving specific tests that indicate the degree of liver fibrosis (scarring). Subjects who are enrolled in the study must have had prior treatment with interferon (either pegylated or standard interferon) plus ribavirin for at least 12 weeks to treat their hepatitis C, but either failed to clear the virus or didn't tolerate the treatment.
This study will examine the efficacy and safety of ReFacto AF in patients with severe and moderately severe hemophilia A undergoing elective major surgery when administered by either bolus injections (BI) or continuous infusion (CI).
This study aims to determine whether early treatment with zoledronic acid, that is given during the early phase of advanced prostate cancer, will be more efficacious than delayed treatment
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of intravenous Aralast Fraction (Fr.) IV-1, a sterile, stable, lyophilized preparation of functionally intact human Alpha1- Proteinase Inhibitor (α1-PI). This pharmacokinetic study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial with a cross-over design. Twenty-four subjects will be enrolled into the study. Overall study duration will be approximately 6-8 months.
Adults who are taking opioid therapy for persistent non-cancer pain and have resulting opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) will be randomized (1:1) to alvimopan or placebo. The primary objective of this Phase 3 long-term safety study is to compare alvimopan with placebo for safety and tolerability in the treatment of OBD. Participants will be required to attend 8 clinic visits over approximately 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Nolvadex (tamoxifen) as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
This study will allow determination of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of SB424323 in a relevant population. The data from this study will be used along with other data to aid in choosing the most appropriate dose for the later phase study.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that telmisartan 80 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (T80/H12.5) is at least as effective and possibly superior to valsartan 160 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (V160/H12.5) in lowering mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval at the end of a 10-week treatment period in mild-to-moderate hypertensive, overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
To determine whether the extent of the ischemic penumbra apparent on perfusion-diffusion MRI can be used to identify patients who would respond positively and safely to tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) beyond 3 hours post-stroke.
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating young patients with gliomas.
