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.
A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of duvelisib administered in combination with rituximab vs placebo in combination with rituximab in patients with previously treated CD20-positive follicular lymphoma who are not suitable candidates for chemotherapy.
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of orally administered venetoclax (ABT-199) combined with decitabine or azacitidine and the preliminary efficacy of these combinations. In addition, there is a drug-drug interaction (DDI) sub-study only at a single site, to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of venetoclax (ABT-199) in combination with posaconazole.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lotus™ Valve System and LOTUS Edge™ Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in symptomatic subjects with calcific, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered at extreme or high risk for surgical valve replacement.
The investigators hypothesize that a novel method for oligosaccharide supplementation, in the form of nutritional bars and/or muesli high in fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), will be a safe and tolerable therapeutic intervention in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) in remission.
The primary objective of the study is to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen (ISIS 396443) administered intrathecally (IT) to participants with infantile-onset with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The secondary objective of the study is to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally to participants with infantile-onset SMA.
This study is a phase I, open-label study to determine recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and regimen for the orally administered lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor GSK2879552, alone or in combination with All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA). The recommended dose and regimen will be selected based on the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles observed after the treatment of subjects with relapsed/refractory AML. The study consists of two parts. Part 1 will identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or RP2D using a dose-escalation procedure. Dose escalations will be guided by the Neuenschwander-continual reassessment method (N-CRM). PK/PD expansion cohorts will also be included in Part 1 to characterize the range of biologically effective doses by assessing PD markers and obtain additional PK data. Part 2 will explore further the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of GSK2879552, alone or in combination with ATRA, at the RP2D in subjects with AML.
Previous research has shown that indulging in 50% more calories than required for as little as 3 days can significantly impact markers of metabolic health in lean and overweight individuals. Here, the investigators will determine if 3 brief sessions of high-intensity interval training can mitigate the adverse consequences of 7 days high-fat overfeeding in sedentary, overweight males.
No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have yet been performed comparing different treatment options for AmpC or ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. During the last 10 years we have seen an exponentially increasing rate of carbapenem resistance worldwide, including Australia and New Zealand. The investigators urgently need data from well-designed RCTs to guide clinicians in the treatment of antibiotic resistant Gram-negative infections. The investigators face a situation where a commonly used antibiotic for these infections (meropenem) may be driving carbapenem resistance. For this reason, the investigators are seeking to compare a carbapenem-sparing regimen with a carbapenem for the treatment of these infections. Formal evaluation of safety and efficacy of generic antibiotics in the treatment of infection is of immense clinical and public health importance, and no formal trial has yet been conducted to address these issues. The international collaboration between teams of clinician researchers, some of whom are leaders in their field, makes it highly likely that the outcomes of this trial will have a significant impact on clinical practice. The investigators' hypothesis is that piperacillin/tazobactam (a carbapenem-sparing regimen) is non-inferior to meropenem (a widely used carbapenem) for the definitive treatment of bloodstream infections due to third-generation cephalosporin non-susceptible E. coli or Klebsiella species.
This is a multi-centre (RDH and ASH), phase IV, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled Bayesian adaptive trial of oral NTZ for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis requiring admission to hospital. A maximum of 300 children aged between three months and less than five years of age will be enrolled. Study participation is from the point of enrolment until 60 days after enrolment. Enrolment will occur within 48 hours of admission to hospital. Enrolled participants will be randomised 1:1 to Nitazoxanide (NTZ) or placebo. Other treatment and management will be as per the standard of care described in the admitting hospital's guidelines and will be ultimately the decision and responsibility of the named medical consultant. Stool samples will be collected at the point of admission. Solicitation of symptoms will be by review of routinely collected medical data recorded in the participant's medical record, and will be supplemented by completion of study specific diary cards after discharge (for the first 210 enrolments). Attempts will be made to contact participants at day 7 after enrolment (by telephone if already discharged) to ascertain symptoms occurring in the intervening period. At days 30 and 60 (for first 210 enrolments ) and Day 60 (for enrolment #211 onwards) after enrolment a clinical record review will be conducted for all participants to ascertain health care attendances following discharge.
Eltrombopag olamine (SB-497115-GR) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that may be beneficial in medical disorders associated with thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in patients with thrombocytopenia from various etiologies (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP], liver disease, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia). Approximately 350 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (175 into the eltrombopag arm and 175 into the placebo arm). Approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled into the azacitidine. Subjects with intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high risk MDS by IPSS, and baseline platelet count of <75 Giga (10^9) per liter (Gi/L) will only be enrolled. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the platelet supportive care effects of eltrombopag versus placebo in combination with the standard of care hypomethylating agent, azacitidine. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of eltrombopag versus placebo on the proportion of subjects who are platelet transfusion free during the first 4 cycles of azacitidine therapy. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease response, and disease progression.
