There are about 10460 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Australia. 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 monitor the performance and determine the metal ion release of the DePuy ASR™ System in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring hip resurfacing surgery. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments. A subset of patients will also have blood samples taken at regular intervals to allow the metal ion levels to be determined and undergo scans to allow the bone mineral density of the bone surrounding the implant to be monitored. DePuy decided to close this Study in 4Q 2009. The Study was terminated with effect from December 2010 to allow for the completion of the 5 year follow up assessments. Please note that subsequent to this decision DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR products on 24 August 2010. Additional information regarding this voluntary recall and the follow-up of patients affected by the recall can be found at the following links http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Publications/Safetywarnings/MedicalDeviceAlerts/CON079157 and http://www.depuy.com/countries_list.
The purpose of this study is to establish a safety profile sargramostim administered in 8 week cycles to adult patients with active Crohn's disease.
The study will assess the relative benefit of cabergoline vs carbidopa/levodopa therapy in treating nighttime problems of Parkinson Disease.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of GB virus C (GBV-C) on the natural history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. The other aspect of the study is to assess the effect of GBV-C on the severity of liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C in subjects co-infected with HIV and HCV. This will be done by determining the point prevalence of co-infection retrospectively then following that cohort prospectively. In addition, further individuals will be recruited in a prospective manner.
Prolongation of the EPAAC™ trial - NCT00152464 (The Early Prevention of Asthma in Atopic Children). 36 months study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levocetirizine (LCTZ) in preventing the onset of asthma in young atopic children.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of PD-217,014 in the treatment of chronic pain following a shingles infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine the risk of fetal loss in women with unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) who do not have identifiable inherited thrombophilia compared with women who have the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) excluded.
This substudy is an open-label, randomised study comparing the uptake of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in HIV-1 infected individuals receiving different combinations of antiemetics and analgesic agents during rIL-2 dosing in ESPRIT. The design is a factorial one with 4 arms. All patients will receive regular ibuprofen and paracetamol from days 1-6 of the rIL-2 dosing cycle; in addition, patients will be randomised to receive one of two antiemetic combinations, i.e. ondansetron or metoclopramide with or without low dose codeine phosphate as an additional analgesic agent.
For HIV-infected individuals with highly resistant viruses, higher drug levels may be required to block the virus. This study investigates that concept by comparing the efficacy of standard fosamprenavir/ritonavir to an increased dose of boosted fosamprenavir and to a combination of fosamprenavir (increased dose)/lopinavir/ritonavir.
The purpose of this study is to determine if isoflurane and sevoflurane have similar effects on the kidneys of people with impaired kidneys when the drugs administered with low gas flow into anaesthetic machines.
