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 investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in participants who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who have never received treatment before. Participants will also receive peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.
This is a proof of concept study to determine the efficacy and safety of a monoclonal antibody with three doses versus placebo. Subjects will be randomized to a treatment and the dose will be delivered subcutaneously twice, 4 weeks apart. All subjects will have moderate to severe refractory Crohn's Disease.
This study will be a repeat-dose, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, three-way crossover study in patients with persistent bronchial asthma to compare the effect of morning (AM) and evening (PM) dosing with fluticasone furoate (FF)/Vilanterol (VI) inhalation powder on lung function. Following screening there will be a run-in period of 14 days. There will be 3 treatment periods; drug at AM, drug at PM and placebo, which will last for 14 days each with a 14-21 day washout period between starting the next. Key assessments include; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), adverse event (AE) monitoring and laboratory safety tests.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of treatment with reslizumab in patients with eosinophilic asthma.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in patients who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who relapsed after previous interferon-based therapy. Patients will also receive peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination RO5024048 and ritonavir-boosted danoprevir with and without Copegus (ribavirin) in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. In arm A and B, interferon treatment-naïve patients will receive 1000 mg RO5024048 orally twice daily and 100 mg danoprevir with 100 mg ritonavir orally twice daily plus either Copegus (1000 mg or 1200 mg orally daily) or placebo for 12 weeks. Depending on viral response and treatment arm patients will be re-randomized to continue assigned treatment for additional 12 weeks or stop all treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 24 weeks plus a 24-week follow-up. As of 29. September 2011, Arm B patients (placebo-containing arm) will be offered, in conjunction with the current treatment, Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly plus Copegus 1000mg or 1200 mg orally daily for 24 weeks, with a 24-week follow-up.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses (500 mg once daily and 500 mg twice daily) of GSK1605786A as compared to placebo over 12 weeks in adult subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. Efficacy will be assessed by proportion of subjects achieving response, defined as a decrease in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of at least 100 points (clinical response). Clinical remission (CDAI score less than 150 points) will be evaluated as a key secondary endpoint. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram (ECG). Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), Short Form-36 version 2 (SF-36v2), EQ-5D and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-CD (WPAI-CD) and receipt of disability.
The general aim of this project is to conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of azithromycin to determine whether treatment from infancy is safe and will prevent the onset of bronchiectasis. One hundred and thirty infants will be recruited from CF clinics in Australia and New Zealand and treated from 3 months to three years of age. The primary outcome will be the proportion with radiologically-defined bronchiectasis at 3 years of age. Safety and mechanistic evaluations will also be undertaken.
The study is a global Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of omalizumab administered subcutaneously as an add-on therapy for the treatment of adolescent and adult patients aged 12-75 who have been diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) who remain symptomatic despite standard-dosed H1 antihistamine treatment (including doses up to 4 times above the approved dose level), H2 blockers, and/or leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA).
MP4OX is a novel oxygen therapeutic agent being developed as an ischemic rescue therapy to enhance perfusion and oxygenation of tissues at risk during hemorrhagic shock. MP4OX is a pegylated hemoglobin-based colloid. Due to its molecular size and unique oxygen dissociation characteristics, MP4OX targets delivery of oxygen to ischemic tissues. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MP4OX treatment in trauma patients suffering from lactic acidosis due to severe hemorrhagic shock. The study hypothesis is that MP4OX will reverse the lactic acidosis by enhancing perfusion and oxygenation of ischemic tissues and thereby prevent and reduce the duration of organ failure and improve outcome in these patients.
