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.
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of refametinib in patients with unresectable or metastatic HCC carrying a RAS mutation. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. Approximately 95 patients (15 at Stage 1/ 80 at Stage 2) will be accrued to this study to receive treatment. Stage 2 of the trial will only be conducted if at least 5 out of 15 patients at Stage 1 show at least confirmed partial response (PR) according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) assessed by central image review. Refametinib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, refametinib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the rate of response, i.e. the disease getting smaller. The aim is to show that the therapy with refametinib improves the response rate in this RAS mutation patient population.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the IASD System II in the treatment of heart failure patients with elevated left atrial pressure, who remain symptomatic despite appropriate medical management.
To describe the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel in the blood delivered from a paclitaxel coated percutaneous angioplasty balloon catheter as a result of treatment of de novo or restenotic lesion(s), occluded/stenotic or re-occluded/restenotic lesion(s).
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF) + velpatasvir (VEL; GS-5816) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naive adults with chronic genotype (GT) 1 or 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with placebo on overall survival in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have received prior sorafenib.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by > 30% from baseline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.
- Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis who had an inadequate response to methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 as monotherapy (3 different doses - 50 milligram (mg), 100 mg and 200 mg once daily) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. - During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue and quality of life were evaluated.
Participants being evaluated for suspected or known Coronary artery Disease (CAD) based on signs and/or symptoms, will be invited to participate in the study. The duration for a participant in the study may range from 2 days to 4-6 weeks. One to four visits to the study doctor will be required. This study will investigate the diagnostic results of gadobutrol-enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) images regarding the detection (sensitivity) and exclusion (specificity) of coronary artery disease utilizing a uniform image acquisition software. The CMR images will be tested either against the results from routine clinical Coronary Angiography (CA) or those from Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), which is used as the standard of reference. The CA/CTA may have been performed up to 4 weeks prior to enrollment or be scheduled up to 4/6 weeks after the study. CMRI and CA/CTA images will be collected for an independent image review (blinded read).
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pamrevlumab in participants with IPF, and the efficacy of pamrevlumab in slowing the loss of forced vital capacity (FVC) and the progression of IPF in these participants.
Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 (3 different doses - 50 milligram [mg], 100 mg and 200 mg daily -, each evaluated as once daily [QD] and twice daily [BID] regimen) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. •During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses and dose regiments of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue, and quality of life were evaluated.
