There are about 2455 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.
A randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bexotegrast (PLN-74809) for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (BEACON-IPF).
EC5026 has been shown to be effective in preclinical pain models of pain, including inflammatory and neuropathic pain subtypes. Two Phase 1a studies - a Phase 1a single ascending dose (SAD) study and a Phase 1a fed-fasted study - have been conducted, evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, and food effects of single oral doses of EC5026 ranging 0.5 to 24 mg. The present study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of 2 sequential ascending dose regimens of EC5026, administered once daily for 7 consecutive days, in healthy volunteers.
Genomic methods can significantly contribute to all facets of precision medicine, from diagnosis to prevention, therapeutic intervention, and management of acute and chronic illnesses. DNA based methods are already having a considerable impact across healthcare in fields that include: public health, infectious disease monitoring, acute and chronic disease, pharmacogenomics, prenatal testing and diagnosis, and therapeutic development. In this proposal, investigators are focusing on the application of genomic methods in precision medicine - specifically on rapid whole-genome sequencing of parents and children (i.e. a trio) for the identification of diseases that have genetic components. Goals Primary goal: is to provide safe rapid whole genome sequencing to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit/Pediatric Intensive Care Unit patients. Secondary goals: 1) Although several groups globally are implementing rapid sequencing of rare disease, these are predominantly in the research space, with many unanswered questions regarding the best way to implement them into a national healthcare system. Each country and their healthcare systems are unique, and valuable knowledge will be gained by implementing this process within a New Zealand context. As part of this the study will measure the impact on the individuals and families. 2) to expand the research team's understanding of non-coding disease-causing variants and methylation changes that contribute to severe disease in early life. Primary Aims 1. To incorporate long-read RNA sequencing data into the diagnostic rapid Whole Genome Sequencing pipeline to provide a direct measure of the functional outcome of the variants of clinical concern. 2. To measure the clinical utility of analysing non-coding variants in the diagnosis of critically ill children who do not have pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variants of unknown significance for mendelian disorders. 3. To identify, in a real-world setting within the New Zealand health-care system, the clinical and economic effects of deploying rapid Whole Genome Sequencing-informed rapid precision medicine for critically ill children.
This is a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of bomedemstat (MK-3543) compared with the best available therapy (BAT) in participants with essential thrombocythemia (ET) who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. The primary study hypothesis is that bomedemstat is superior to the best available therapy with respect to durable clinicohematologic response (DCHR).
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have a body mass index (BMI)bof 27 kg/m2 or more. People can take part if they have cardiovascular or chronic kidney disease. People who have at least 2 health problems related to their weight or risks of cardiovascular disease can participate. Participants must have previously tried to lose weight by changing their diet. The purpose of this study is to find out whether people with overweight or obesity who take a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) are less or more likely to develop serious cardiovascular problems. It also aims to find out whether health parameters like blood pressure improve. Overweight and obesity are linked to cardiovascular disease. Survodutide is a medicine that is developed to help people with obesity or overweight to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups of almost equal size. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under the skin once a week. All participants also receive counselling on diet and physical activity. Participants are in the study for up to 2 years and 3 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 21 times and attend remote visits by video calls. During these visits, the doctors check participants' cardiovascular and overall health. The results are compared between survodutide and placebo groups. The study staff also takes note of any unwanted effects.
The goal of this study is to evaluate V940 plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected (R0) Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis is that V940 plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.
The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib versus venetoclax plus obinutuzumab in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
This Phase 1b clinical study is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, prime only, and prime plus boost therapeutic vaccination study of 2 distinct chimpanzee adenoviral vectors (AdC6 and AdC7), containing parts of hepatitis B virus (HBV) core and polymerase antigens fused within glycoprotein D in a cohort of chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-infected adult participants who are currently receiving entecavir, tenofovir (tenofovir alafenamide fumarate or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), or lamivudine, with documented HBV viral load suppression for at least 12 months. Approximately 24 participants will be enrolled in Group 1 and randomized to Cohort 1a or Cohort 1b. Those assigned to Cohort 1a will receive a low dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC7 on Day 1, followed by a booster vaccination on Day 91 using vector AdC6. Those assigned to Cohort 1b will receive a low dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC6 on Day 1, and will not receive a booster vaccination. Group 2 will then enroll approximately 24 participants randomized to Cohort 2a or Cohort 2b. Those assigned to Cohort 2a will receive a high dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC7 on Day 1, followed by a booster vaccination on Day 91 using vector AdC6. Those assigned to Cohort 2b will receive a high dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC6 on Day 1, and will not receive a booster vaccination. All vaccine doses will be administered by intramuscular (IM) injection. All study participants will be followed for a total of 1 year post-prime vaccination.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have a body mass index of 27 kg/m² or more. People can take part if they have type 2 diabetes and if they are currently being treated only with diet and exercise or with specific diabetes medications. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with overweight or obesity who also have diabetes to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff also regularly measure participants' body weight. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
