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 study is done to find out whether the medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a "dummy" medicine which does not contain any study medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by an equal chance. The study will last for up to 173 weeks (about 3 years and 4 months). Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans. At 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sub-study will be performed as a part of the study. The sub-study will be performed on a selection of sites based on their experience with CSF sampling and willingness to participate in this sub-study. The endpoints related to this sub-study are exploratory only.

This main long-term extension study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of faricimab 6 milligrams (mg) administered by intravitreal injection at a personalized treatment interval (PTI) to participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who enrolled in and completed one of the Phase III studies: GR40306 (NCT03823287) or GR40844 (NCT03823300), also referred to as the parent studies. Eligible patients who consent to participate in this main study will be enrolled upon completion of the end-of-study visit in the parent study. Additionally, there is a substudy that is being conducted. The aim of this substudy is to evaluate the impact of intravitreal faricimab on the health of the corneal endothelial cells in the study eyes of patients with nAMD to fulfill a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) post-marketing requirement. The fellow eyes of the same enrolled participants in the substudy will serve as the controls.
The safety and tolerability of MK-8591A, a 2-drug fixed dose combination (FDC) of doravirine (DOR 100mg) and islatravir (ISL 0.75mg) will be evaluated in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) who were treated with DOR and ISL in earlier clinical studies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will also compare lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab with the standard of care treatment of regorafenib and TAS-102 (trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride). The primary study hypothesis is that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is superior to standard of care with respect to overall survival.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the killing of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells by cells of the immune system. The study aims to slow the progressive, immune-mediated loss of insulin-producing beta cells that occurs after clinical presentation. The investigators have identified a pathway that is important for immune cells to kill beta cells, and a drug that will block this pathway and prevent beta cell death. This drug, baricitinib, is already in clinical use for rheumatoid arthritis, and is currently in clinical trials for other diseases, including childhood autoimmune diseases. It is hypothesized that baricitinib treatment for 48 weeks will preserve beta cell function in children and young adults with recently-diagnosed T1D. The trial aims to recruit 83 participants aged 10-30 years who have been recently diagnosed with T1D. Two thirds of the participants will be randomly assigned to receive baricitinib, one third will receive placebo. The trial will test if baricitinib can slow the progressive loss of insulin-producing beta cells in these patients. The primary objective is to determine if baricitinib can reduce the loss of meal-stimulated plasma C-peptide, a measure of beta-cell function. Maintaining endogenous insulin in recent-onset T1D improves glucose control and may lead to long-term improvements in glucose and lower rates of serious diabetes complications and death.
This is a phase 3, open-label, multicenter, extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pegcetacoplan (APL-2) in subjects with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who participated in Study APL2-103 (NCT03777332) or completed the treatment at Month 24 of either Study APL2-303 (Derby, NCT03525613) or Study APL2-304 (Oaks, NCT03525600).
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label extension study in ambulant boys with DMD who have completed the 48-week treatment period of either viltolarsen or placebo in Study NS-065/NCNP-01-301.
This is a multiple dose, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of belcesiran to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD in adult patients with PiZZ AATD-associated liver disease (AATLD). The study will be conducted in 3 separate cohorts. A total of up to 16 participants may be enrolled in Cohort 1 and 2. A total number of 30 subjects will be enrolled in cohort 3. The 3 cohorts are differentiated by the duration of the treatment period, the number of doses administered, and the timing of the second liver biopsy.
This study aims to characterize the clinical management and outcomes of participants diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with alectinib in real-world clinical practice.
