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 study, set to take place at Gold Coast University Hospital in Australia, will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Patients preparing for gynecological cancer surgery will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of two groups: those who will receive standard care plus a virtual reality (VR) intervention, and those who will receive only standard care. Standard care encompasses the usual pre-operative procedures and support provided by the hospital staff. We hypothesize that immersing patients in a preparatory virtual environment that shows them what they are to expect during their upcoming hospital stay for surgery, could help reduce their anxiety levels.
This is a multicenter, multiple expansion cohort, Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of DR-0201 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
To establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON® NES Flu A/B, RSV & COVID-19 assay for viral nucleic acid targets from professionally collected or patient self-collected dry nasal (NS) swabs and to establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay from NS and nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in applicable transport media from human patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.
Study RAD-GRIN-201 is a phase 1B/2A trial to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential efficacy of radiprodil in participants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) type II. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil. Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A and one year in Part B/long-term treatment period. The treatment period in Part B may be extended based on a favorable benefit/risk profile.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the immune response and to evaluate safety of the RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine in non-immunocompromised adults 18-49 years of age (YOA), who are at increased risk (AIR) for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease, compared to older adults (OA) (>=) 60 YOA and above
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a system which can be used to measure movements in people with Essential Tremor (with or without dystonia). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can individuals with Essential Tremor be distingushed from individuals without tremor using Virtual Reality (VR) - Can the current Essential Tremor Assessment Scale (the TETRAS) be reproduced in VR - Can Essential Tremor be quantified using a measurement system - Can Dystonia be quantified using a measurement system. Participants will don the equipment used to measure their tremor and replicate a series of standardised movements to measure their tremor, in and out of the VR platform. The assessment will take no longer than an hour.
This is an open label study to treat dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) mutation carrier participants from the DIAN-TU-001 gantenerumab Open Label Extension (OLE) period with lecanemab to determine the effects of amyloid removal on age of onset and clinical progression compared to external controls, if amyloid plaque as measured by amyloid PET can be fully removed in DIAD, and the effects of amyloid removal on biomarkers of disease progression.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 27 clinic visits with the study doctor.
PEGASUS aims to test acceptability and feasibility of studying phenoconversion (the change in metabolism phenotype) using probe medications in a paediatric oncology patient population. The study will be conducted in patients (6-25 years of age) with Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma as exemplar cohort, but with the understanding that cancer-directed and supportive care medicines of the CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 metabolic pathways are commonly utilised for the treatment of many paediatric, adolescent, young adult, and adult cancers. The study involves administration of the probe medication at timepoints which align with pre-determined hospital visits for the treatment of lymphoma and subsequent blood draws to measure the metabolism of the probe medications. The acceptability and feasibility of this study will inform future studies in phenoconversion within the paediatric cancer population to direct more personalised precision medicine.
Critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often need to be connected to a breathing machine (ventilator) and are unable to eat. During this time, liquid nutrition is delivered via a feeding tube to the stomach or bowel (termed enteral nutrition (EN)) to ensure nutrition needs are provided until such time that the patient can eat normally. The delivery of nutrition via EN is frequently interrupted due to procedures and changes in the gastrointestinal system that can cause digestion to be slow. One of the main contributors to EN interruptions is fasting prior to removal of the breathing tube (termed extubation). The practice of pausing EN prior to the removal of the breathing tube is historical and based on evidence for patients who are not within the ICU. There is currently no scientific consensus on whether pausing of EN is necessary, or for how long. Because of this, some clinicians choose to pause EN prior to removal of the breathing tube and some clinicians continue to provide EN. This study is a pilot randomised controlled trial of fasting patients for at least 4 hours prior to removal of the breathing tube compared with not pausing EN. The investigators hypothesise that this will reduce the number of hours of fasting in the 24 hours prior to extubation.
