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.
Methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) is a significant public health concern with burden to individuals, families and health systems estimated to cost over $5 billion annually in Australia. In 2016/17 there were 49,670 Australian treatment episodes for MUD, the first step of which typically involves inpatient withdrawal. Currently there are no approved medications to help manage methamphetamine withdrawal and consequently many people drop out of treatment prematurely, leaving them vulnerable to relapse. Oxytocin is a candidate medication that has the potential to increase treatment retention, reduce withdrawal syndrome severity, increase post-withdrawal treatment engagement and reduce relapse rates. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate whether intranasal oxytocin can improve withdrawal treatment outcomes in adult women with MUD. The study will examine the feasibility of intranasal oxytocin as a treatment for methamphetamine withdrawal in women. This will be explored by assessing length of stay in residential withdrawal, withdrawal symptom severity, post-discharge treatment engagement and relapse rates in a group of women who are prescribed intranasal oxytocin during their medically supervised methamphetamine withdrawal at a residential detoxification program. The safety of intranasal oxytocin will also be assessed. A secondary objective of the study is to conduct an exploratory analysis regarding participants' capacity to interact effectively with others, as well as changes in social networks and/or engagement with therapeutic services. There is an observational sub-study affiliated with this main pilot study that is optional for individuals recruited to the main pilot trial to additionally participate in. This sub-study aims to investigate how sleep quality and patterns change before, during, and after detoxification from methamphetamine in women. MUD and sleep disturbances have a complex bidirectional relationship. The use of methamphetamine is known to disrupt sleep quality and the circadian rhythm, although withdrawal from methamphetamine also induces significant sleep-wake cycle changes. There is evidence that methamphetamine disrupts functions regulated by the circadian rhythm. Furthermore, disruptions in circadian rhythms, including mutations in key genes, increases the propensity for addiction. Evaluation of how chronic methamphetamine use may disrupt rhythmicity, and vice versa, may provide invaluable information with regard to potential treatment options of methamphetamine use disorder. There has been little focus, so far, on the therapeutic potential of circadian rhythm modifiers as treatment options in the addiction space, as sleep disturbances have often been merely viewed as a consequence of substance use. Specific to the sub-study, participants will be asked to wear an actigraphy watch. The actigraphy watch device will be worn for at least 7 days prior to, 7 days during, and 7 days post methamphetamine detoxification. This is the only difference between the sub-study and the main pilot study; there are no other additional requirements or assessments involved in the actigraphy sub-study.
This study aims to determine the safety and best response of treatment with CNA3103 (Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 [LGR5]-targeted, Autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -T Cells), for participants with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. Participants may undergo a pre-screening biopsy procedure to determine expression of LGR5. Participants will undergo screening procedures, including leukapheresis (collection of T cells) and lymphodepletion (chemotherapy), up to 47 days prior to CNA3103 dosing. Participants will receive a single Intravenous dose of CNA3103. Expansion cohorts will open after determination of the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose in the dose escalation stage. Participants will be followed up, monitored and will attend study visits for safety and research related tests and procedures for 2 years until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or intolerable adverse event/s, death or withdrawal of consent.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if milvexian is at least as effective as apixaban for reducing the risk of the composite stroke and non-central nervous system (CNS) systemic embolism.
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias of immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and cold agglutinin disease to determine if povetacicept is safe and potentially beneficial in treating these diseases. During the study treatment period participants will receive povetacicept approximately every 4 weeks for 6 months, with the possibility of participating in a 6-month study treatment extension period.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Fluticasone Furoate (FF)/ Umeclidinium (UMEC)/ Vilanterol (VI) on lung function compared with FF/VI after 24 weeks of treatment.
This is a Phase 1b/2a, open-label, adaptive-design outpatient study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of SON-1010 in combination with atezolizumab administered to patients with advanced solid tumors (Part 1) and patients with Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer (Part 2)
The most common types of acute leukaemia are acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). AML is a heterogenous clonal disorder of haemopoietic progenitor cells and the most common and severe malignant leukemia in adults and is responsible for the highest mortality from leukemia. ALL is a neoplasm characterized by the growth of malignant lymphoblasts of the B or T lineage, leading to an inhibition of proliferation of the normal blood cell lineages. The primary objectives of this study are investigating the safety, tolerability, and the MTD of LBS-007. The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy and to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LBS-007. The exploratory objective is to study and correlate the changes in surrogate biomarkers in response to treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate that milvexian is superior to placebo, in addition to standard-of-care, in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) (the composite of cardiovascular [CV] death, myocardial infarction [MI], and ischemic stroke).
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of ravulizumab IV compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the clinical consequences of AKI (MAKE) at 90 days in adult participants with CKD who undergo non-emergent cardiac surgery with CPB.
A long-term extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AL002 in participants with Early Alzheimer's Disease.
