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 primary objective of this investigation is to compare the precision of long leg alignment achieved by the two types of procedure. The secondary objectives of this investigation are to: Compare the accuracy of long leg alignment achieved by the two types of procedure. Compare the number of optimal implantations achieved by the two types of procedure. Compare the clinical performance of the knee replacement in subjects who have undergone one of the two types of procedure. Compare the functional outcome achieved by subjects who have undergone one of the two types of procedure. Compare the interface radiographic appearance 5 years post-operatively between the two types of procedure. Compare the accuracy and precision of long leg alignment achieved by the two types of procedure 5 years post-operatively, i.e., at final follow-up and also the change in accuracy and precision between the final follow-up and baseline. Compare the Adverse Events experienced by the subjects who have undergone the two types of procedure.
The present study is assessing the efficacy and safety of AVE5530 (25 mg and 50 mg) in add-on to ongoing statin treatment in a double-blind manner in comparison with placebo, in the management of patients with primary hypercholesterolemia considered as inadequately controlled despite their ongoing statin treatment. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of the association AVE5530+statin on LDL-C level reduction after 12 weeks of treatment. The effects of AVE5530 on other lipid parameters will be assessed as secondary objectives.
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily [q.d] subcutaneous [s.c.] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the primary prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients hospitalized for acute medical illness. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a slowly progressive disorder that devastates the lives of those affected and their families. There are no treatments that slow the progression of HD, only mildly effective symptomatic therapies are available.Creatine monohydrate is considered a nutritional supplement. The purpose of CREST-E is to test whether high-dose creatine can slow the progressive functional decline that occurs in persons 18 years or older with early clinical features of HD. The long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of up to 40 grams daily creatine compared to placebo is studied. A variety of biological processes are assessed for markers of disease activity or progression and creatine effects. Up to 50 active research centers globally will enroll 650 subjects.
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of a tigecycline regimen versus an imipenem/cilastatin regimen for the treatment of subjects who are hospitalized with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). At least 70% of enrolled subjects will have ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Two dose levels of tigecycline will be assessed and compared to imipenem/cilastatin in parallel. Subjects will receive intravenous therapy from a minimum of 7 & up to 14 consecutive days, the exact duration will be at the decision of the investigator based on the subject's condition. Additional protocol specified antibiotics may be given to ensure appropriate coverage. A final assessment at test-of-cure (TOC) visit will be done 10 to 21 days after the last day of therapy. The total duration of subject participation will be between 17 and 44 days, including a follow up period of 30 days after the last day of therapy for SAEs. Subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy. The safety assessment will include: physical examinations, vital signs, assessment of the clinical signs and symptoms of pneumonia, collection of adverse events, 12-lead ECG, collection of samples for hematology, serum chemistries, and coagulation parameters, & a serum or urine pregnancy test before study entry for women of childbearing potential. The clinical and microbiological efficacy will both be evaluated.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the performance of the Discover cervical Artificial disc in the treatment of degenerative disc disease in one level of the cervical spine.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib (Arm A), given at 37.5 mg orally once daily, compared to sorafenib (Arm B), given orally at 400 mg twice daily, in patients with inoperable liver cancer. A total number of 1200 patients will be enrolled, 600 on Arm A and 600 on Arm B. Study treatment may be adjusted based on patient tolerance. and will be given until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met. After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will be followed up in order to collect information on further antineoplastic therapy and survival.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Brivaracetam (BRV) in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy
This study is intended to provide evidence that zonisamide is safe and effective in the treatment of myoclonic seizures. The total planned trial duration will be 6.5 months. After that, subjects who have completed the study will be eligible to enroll in an open-label extension study until zonisamide is marketed for this indication or further development in this indication stops. This extension study will be described in a separate protocol (E2090-E044-318).
Zonisamide is already marketed for the treatment of partial seizures in epilepsy. This study is intended to provide evidence that zonisamide is safe and effective in the treatment of primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures. The total trial duration will be 5.5-6.5 months. After that subjects who have completed the study will be eligible to enrol in an open-label extension study until zonisamide is marketed for this indication or further development in this indication stops. This extension study will be described in a separate protocol (E2090-E044-316).
