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.
This is a multicenter, randomized open-label Phase 2 study to assess the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic (PK) of 2 dosing regimens of encorafenib + binimetinib combination in patients with BRAFV600-mutant melanoma with brain metastasis. Approximately 100 patients will be enrolled, including 9 patients in a Safety Lead-in of the high-dose treatment arm. After a Screening Period, treatment will be administered in 28-day cycles and will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, start of subsequent anticancer therapy, death.
Suvorexant (trade name Belsomra) is an orexin receptor antagonist that has TGA approval for the treatment of insomnia, characterised by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance. It may also have a role in addictions as the orexins play a critical role in drug addiction and reward-related behaviours. Orexins appear to be involved in both alcohol withdrawal and in alcohol seeking triggered by external cues (eg contexts or stressors) through both OX1 and OX2 receptor signalling. Chief investigator, Professor Lawrence was the first to demonstrate a role for endogenous orexin signaling in alcohol-seeking. Alcohol is known to effect the sleep of healthy and alcohol dependent individuals with effects on daytime sleepiness, physiological functions during sleep, and the development of sleep disorders. There are various estimates of the co-occurrence of insomnia and alcohol use disorder ranging from 36-72%. In alcohol dependent individuals sleep is disturbed both while drinking and for months of abstinence and abstinent sleep disturbance is predictive of relapse. This proposal aims to evaluate the use of suvorexant as a safe and effective pharmacotherapy to treat sleep disorders in alcohol dependent patients undergoing acute alcohol withdrawal and thereafter for six months. The study will also examine the effectiveness of suvorexant in reducing craving for alcohol and promoting duration of abstinence. This will be the first double blind controlled trial of suvorexant in the management of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome and maintenance of abstinence post withdrawal.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether cilofexor reduces the risk of fibrosis progression among non-cirrhotic adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
A Phase 2b Study to Determine the Efficacy of Candidate Influenza Vaccine MVA-NP+M1 in Adults aged 18 years and over. To assess the effect of MVA-NP+M1 on the reduction of laboratory confirmed influenza when given as an adjunct to licensed quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults
This study is intended to develop a better method for stopping potentially lethal heart rhythms than currently available defibrillators. This new method, called Unpinning Termination Therapy (UPT), is hypothesized to be effective in stopping these dangerous heart rhythms at lower voltages and energy than current defibrillators. Consequently, UPT may improve survival, reduce patient pain from shocks, and lead to longer lasting and smaller implantable defibrillators.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive life-threatening disease that is characterized by exertional dyspnea and persistent dry cough. Cough in IPF is both a presenting and a complicating clinical feature, which affects approximately three quarters of IPF cases. It is often a debilitating symptom that adversely affects quality of life (QoL) and is usually refractory to medical therapy. Inhaled RVT-1601 (formerly, PA101B), a new inhalation formulation of cromolyn sodium delivered via the eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer, is being evaluated in this Phase 2b study for the treatment of persistent cough in patients with IPF.
CONTESSA 2 is a multinational, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel in patients with HER2 negative, HR positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (LA/MBC) not previously treated with a taxane. The primary objective of the study is to establish the efficacy of tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine based on objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by an Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRC). 152 patients were enrolled.
This is a phase II, open-Label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TTAC-0001 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma who was progressed on bevacizumab including therapy.
This Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of idasanutlin when it is given in combination with cytarabine and daunorubicin in induction, in combination with cytarabine in consolidation, and as a single agent in maintenance for treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Scientific research focuses on "eosinophilic inflammation" as it seems to guide the therapeutic regimen in patients with asthma and COPD. The primary objective of this prospective trial is to evaluate which parameter(s) best reflects eosinophilic inflammation by correlating tissue eosinophils (endobronchial biopsy, protected specimen brush sampling) with FeNO, peripheral blood eosinophils, and eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage of patients with obstructive pulmonary disease.
