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 a prospective trial wherein each included subject will receive the experimental magnetically enhanced diffusion therapy. It will be conducted on a maximum of ten adult male or female patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and informed consent has been obtained. Subjects presenting in the emergency department with acute ischemic stroke and are eligible for tPA therapy may be considered for inclusion in the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of siltuximab, demonstrated by a reduction in red blood cell (RBC), transfusions to treat the anemia of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zevalin compared with observation alone in participants who are in PET-negative complete remission after first-line R-CHOP or R-CHOP like therapy.
Vorinostat is a drug (Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor [HDACi]) administered orally that has been approved in United States for the patients with cutaneous Tcell lymphoma (CTCL) who have progressive, persistent or recurrent disease on or following two systemic therapies. In the early period of treatment with vorinostat, some patients may experience low platelet counts. Therefore this study will be examining the combination of these two medications (Vorinostat and eltrombopag) to assess if eltrombopag can overcome the low platelets during treatment with vorinostat. Eltrombopag is a drug administered orally designed to mimic the protein thrombopoietin, which causes the body to make more platelets. Eltrombopag has been registered in Australia and approved overseas to treat patients with chronic ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura) a disease where patients destroy their own platelets very rapidly and thus develop low platelet count) but it is not registered and it is not yet known whether eltrombopag can increase platelet counts in patients treated with the HDACi. The aim of this project is to test whether Vorinostat and eltrombopag can be safely combined, and to test whether they are effective in participants with T-cell lymphoma involving the skin or patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) A total of 25 people with Cutaneous T cell lymphoma/ CTCL, marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma will be recruited in this study.
This study evaluated disease control during different lengths of treatment transition from natalizumab to fingolimod.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of BIIB023 as an add-on treatment to background therapy compared with placebo in combination with background therapy in the treatment of participants with active, biopsy-proven Lupus Nephritis. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB023 compared with placebo in this study population. Participants who complete this study through Week 52 will be offered the option to enter an Extension study under a separate protocol 211LE202 (NCT0193089).
Patients presenting to the emergency department with acute ischaemic stroke, who are eligible for standard intravenous tPA therapy within 4.5 hours of stroke onset will be assessed for "dual target" major vessel occlusion and mismatch to determine their eligibility for randomisation into the trial. If the patient gives informed consent they will be randomised 50:50 using central computerised allocation to intra-arterial clot retrieval after IV tPA or IV tPA alone. The trial is prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) design.
The purpose of this study is to identify at least one dose of BMS-986001 which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious when combined with Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) for treatment-naive Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects
Small cell lung cancer is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumour that often presents with extensive (metastatic) disease. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, with radiotherapy to the primary tumour. It is now part of care to also offer Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) in order to prevent spread of the cancer into the brain. Cognitive impairment can result after cranial irradiation. Lithium is thought to be neuroprotective. It is hypothesized that lithium administration with PCI will be safe, tolerable and feasible, and can be studied to prevent or ameliorate the ensuing cognitive impairment.
This is a pilot study using decitabine and vorinostat before and during chemotherapy with vincristine, dexamethasone, mitoxantrone, and peg-asparaginase in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
