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 find out whether continuous infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics or intermittent infusion or beta-lactam antibiotics, offers more health advantages to patients or if there is no difference. The investigators will be looking to see whether patients receiving beta-lactams via one administration method or the other have a better chance of recovering from their illness. They will also be looking at long term outcomes such as quality-of-life and healthcare resource use. Sepsis is caused by toxic substances (toxins) from bacteria and other organism entering the bloodstream from a site of infection. In some people, the infection can progress to sepsis and septic shock where the functions of organs in the body are affected. Patients suffering from sepsis and septic shock are commonly managed in the intensive care unit (ICU) where they are prescribed antibiotics as standard therapy, as well as other therapies to support the functions of the body. Beta-lactam antibiotics are a group of antibiotics commonly used to treat infection in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Currently, beta-lactam antibiotics are most commonly given to patients be intermittent infusions, that is, given at regular intervals throughout 24 hours. New research suggests that giving beta-lactam antibiotics as a continuous infusion may mean that antibiotic concentrations in the blood remain more consistent and may be more effective at killing bacteria. However, the benefit to the patient by giving beta-lactams via continuous infusion has not been tested in a high-quality, large clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit and safety of relugolix 40 milligrams (mg) once daily, co-administered with low-dose estradiol (E2) and norethindrone acetate (NETA) compared with placebo for 24 weeks, on dysmenorrhea and on nonmenstrual pelvic pain.
This study will aim to assess the acceptance of the Snore PAP system as a treatment concept for snore. The study will subjectively assess participant and bed partner acceptability and usability of the Snore PAP system and objectively assess participant compliance with the Snore PAP system.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if there will be a greater mean reduction from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) achieved after 26 weeks of oral double-blind add-on therapy of dapagliflozin or saxagliptin compared to placebo in paediatric T2DM patients with HbA1c levels of 6.5 to 10.5% on diet and exercise and metformin, insulin, or metformin plus insulin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ACH-0144471 in participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who have demonstrated clinical benefit from ACH-0144471 in Study ACH471-100. This study is designed to include up to 12 participants.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and virologic response of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in virologically suppressed chronic hepatitis B participants with renal and/or hepatic impairment.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of quavonlimab when used in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response to at least 2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or intolerance to or a contraindication for NSAIDs, and who are naïve to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARD).
To avoid iodine deficiency and its consequences in pregnant women and their offspring, women should reach a sufficient iodine intake long before conception. To monitor iodine status, median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) is widely used in pregnant women (PW). Thyroglobulin (Tg) us another marker used to assess iodine status . In this study, urine samples as well as dried blood spots will be collected to measure UIC and Tg (as well as other hormones to define thyroid function) in PW. The results shall be used to reassess the threshold which defines iodine status in PW according to UIC.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the reduction of LDL-C by evinacumab in comparison to placebo after 16 weeks in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, or non-HeFH with a history of clinical ASCVD) with persistent hypercholesterolemia despite receiving maximally-tolerated LMT. Persistent hypercholesterolemia is defined as LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) for those patients with clinical ASCVD and LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) for those patients without clinical ASCVD.
