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 goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of a maximum output shock for cardioverting atrial fibrillation between two commonly used defibrillators in New Zealand . These machines have different maximum energy outputs, and to date no head-to-head comparison cardioverting atrial fibrillation between the two has been undertaken. The main question it aims to answer is whether either device is more likely to cardiovert patients referred for atrial fibrillation. Participants will be randomized to undergo cardioversion with one of two defibrillators at either 200J or 360J. Participants in each arm will undergo up to three shocks at the energy-level to which they have been randomized, using a standardized procedure. For participants randomized to the lower energy level who fail to return to normal rhythm after three shocks, they will be given a fourth shock at the higher energy level. All participants will then be asked to undertake a blood test the day following the cardioversion, and receive a follow up phone call. These are to ensure there is no difference in the safety of the procedure between the two energy levels. It is worth noting that these two components of the study (the blood test and phone call) are the only additional time commitment that is expected to be involved if you choose to participate in the study.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease that causes painful lesions in the axilla (underarm), inguinal (groin) and anogenital (anal/genital) regions. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult and adolescent participants with moderate to severe HS who have failed to respond to or are intolerant of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for ulcerative colitis, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondylarthritis and is being developed for the treatment of HS. This study is "double-blinded", meaning that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given upadacitinib and who will be given placebo. This study is comprised of 3 periods. In Period 1, participants are randomized into 2 groups called treatment arms where each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. In Period 2, participants are placed into 6 different groups depending on their placement and results in Period 1. Period 3 is the long-term extension period where participants will continue treatment from Period 2. Approximately 1328 adult and adolescent participants diagnosed with HS will be enrolled in approximately 275 sites worldwide. Participants will receive oral tablets of upadacitinib or placebo once daily for 36 weeks in Period 1 and Period 2. Eligible participants from Period 1 and Period 2 will enter Period 3 and receive oral tablets of upadacitinib or placebo once daily for 68 weeks. Participants will be followed up for approximately 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular outpatient visits during the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This study is being conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCB099280 in participants with advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
The goal of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Neuflo System for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can treatment with the Neuflo System lead to at least a 30% improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH, as measured by the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) at 3 months after treatment which is sustained for 12 months? - Is treatment with the Neuflo System tolerable to the patient, as measured by visual analog score (VAS) for pain before and after treatment and procedural medication requirements? - Is treatment with the Neuflo System safe, as measured by the incidence and severity of device or procedural related serious adverse events. Participants will be enrolled in the study over a 6 month period. Each participant will be treated with the Neuflo System and assessed at 3 and 12 months following treatment. A subgroup of patients will have an MRI at 1 week to assess the volume and location of ablated tissue. The duration of the study is expected to be 18 months.
It is hypothesized that significantly more patients would prefer oral decitabine/cedazuridine to subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine (AZA) due to several factors, including improved treatment convenience, the reduced risk of nosocomial infections, and reduced treatment discomfort. However, this hypothesis has not been formally studied in a controlled setting. This study aims to address this evidence gap and evaluate patient, primary caregiver (carer), and clinician treatment preference between oral decitabine/cedazuridine and SC AZA in the treatment of adult patients with International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate, IPSS intermediate-2, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or low-blast (LB) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and thereby lend further credibility to the clinical, economic, and patient value of oral decitabine/cedazuridine.
The Disrupt PAD III study was designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with an additional observational registry component. The registry, referred to as the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study (PAD III OS), was a global, prospective, multi-center, single-arm registry of the Shockwave Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System. The objective of this study was to assess the real-world acute performance of IVL in the treatment of calcified, stenotic, peripheral arteries that may not qualify for inclusion in the RCT. The study was designed to enroll a maximum of 1500 subjects from up to 60 global sites with a minimum of 200 subjects treated with the S4 IVL catheter, a line extension designed to treat smaller diameter peripheral vessels, including calcified below-the-knee (BTK) lesions. Subjects were required to have target lesions in the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, or infra-popliteal arteries with at least moderate calcification as determined by the investigator, defined as calcification within the lesion on both sides of the vessel assessed by angiography. Adjunctive therapies such as atherectomy, specialty balloons, and stents were allowed. Subjects were followed through discharge.
This study is being conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCB099280 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and to explore the efficacy of astegolimab in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have completed the 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period in parent studies GB43311 or GB44332.
This is a prospective, single-center and single-arm clinical study to assess the initial safety and effectiveness of the Kaitoh Atherectomy System for the treatment of de novo and/or restenotic lesion(s) in the peripheral arteries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RO7496353 when administered in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) with or without standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The study will be conducted in 2 stages: an initial safety run-in stage and an expansion stage.
