This study will test an oral medicine called BLX-0871, which is being developed to improve metabolic health by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of energy balance. The main goal is to see if BLX-0871 is safe and well tolerated when given to healthy adults. The study will also measure how the body processes BLX-0871, including how quickly it is absorbed, how long it stays in the blood, and how it is eliminated. Another objective is to see whether food affects the absorption of BLX-0871. It will also look at how the drug affects the body by looking at markers of AMPK activity.

This study will test an oral medicine called BLX-7006, which acts like the hormone Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) to help control blood sugar and body weight. Current GLP-1 medicines are given by injection. This study will see if BLX-7006 is safe, how the body processes it, and whether food changes how it is absorbed. The main goal is to see if BLX-7006 is safe and well tolerated. Secondary objectives of the study will measure how BLX-7006 moves through the body after an oral dose, including how quickly it is absorbed, how long it stays in the blood, and how the body removes it. It will also look at how the drug affects the body by looking at markers of glucose metabolism.

This feasibility trial will test the use of photo-biomodulation (PBM) therapy, predominantly self-delivered in the patient's home for 12-weeks, following completion of radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer. The primary objective is to establish feasibility of recruitment (uptake). Secondary objectives are to assess safety, additional elements of feasibility (adherence to the intervention, return of the device and attrition at the 3-month follow-up appointment) and acceptability of the trial to patients. Secondary measures will be performed to assess trends in effects of the intervention (pre-post intervention, within-group measures) for managing lymphoedema and radiation fibrosis.

This clinical study examines the performance of an investigational totally implantable cochlear implant (TICI) system. The system includes an implantable microphone under the skin to detect speech and sound from the environment allowing the option to hear without the need of an external sound processor. This implant will be tested in adults with sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve (the nerve that carries sound signals from the ear to the brain). The study participants will undergo a series of tests that include testing their implant and their hearing. They will also complete questionnaires to see how they rate their hearing and overall general health.

This study aims to capture information regarding the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment for melanoma on reproductive organ function and sex hormone levels. You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years or older, you have been diagnosed with melanoma (Stage II, III or IV) and you are planning to receive ICI treatment. Additional criteria will apply dependent upon your biological sex characteristics. All participants who choose to enroll in this study will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and provide blood at 4 of their scheduled treatment visits. These visits are anticipated to add 30 minutes to the scheduled visit time. Male participants will also be asked to provide semen samples at 2 of their scheduled treatment visits. These visits are anticipated to add an additional 30 minutes to the scheduled visit time. No additional or novel treatments will be offered to participants who choose to enroll in this study, this is an observational study only. It is hoped this research will contribute important information regarding the potential toxic effects of ICI treatment on sexual and reproductive function in patients with melanoma who are receiving ICI treatment.

Parents and caregivers of children who have a chronic condition carry a large care burden and are at higher risk of having mental health symptoms. This study aims to see if completion of a mental health questionnaire by parents / caregivers at or before the child's paediatric appointment can help identify any symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression. Following the questionnaire, parents / caregivers will be provided with the results of the questionnaire along with an information resource sheet. This will include information on anxiety, stress and depression, as well as different agencies they can contact to get support. Parents / caregivers will be followed up at 3 and 6 months to see if they have any changes to mental health and quality of life, and whether they accessed any support services. The primary aim for this trial is to see whether parents / caregivers find this process acceptable, and whether it can work in a busy hospital clinic.

The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of olpasiran, compared to placebo, on the risk for coronary heart disease death (CHD death), myocardial infarction, or urgent coronary revascularization in participants at risk for a first major cardiovascular event with elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp\[a\]).

This trial is a Phase II, multicenter clinical study. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MiSaver, a cellular therapy product, in patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Specifically, the study aims to assess the improvement in left ventricular function of the heart following the administration of MiSaver, as well as to determine the safety of using stem cell therapy in these patients. This trial will employ a single-blind design (subject-blinded), meaning that the participants will not be aware of whether they are receiving MiSaver or standard treatment, while the researchers will have this information. This design helps ensure transparency and adherence to ethical standards while also providing valuable clinical insights. By utilizing randomization, we can enhance the reliability and comparability of the study results. A portion of the participants will receive MiSaver, while the others will undergo standard treatment. This allows for a direct comparison of the two therapeutic approaches to determine their respective efficacy. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MiSaver, in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To achieve this, we will collect comprehensive participant data, including assessments of cardiac function, records of cardiac events, and quality-of-life surveys. By analyzing these data, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits and limitations of this treatment approach.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of zipalertinib combined with adjuvant chemotherapy versus placebo combined with adjuvant chemotherapy in participants with early stage (stage IB-IIIA) resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (EGFRmt).

In this project, researchers are exploring different ways to support the wellbeing and relationships of families with young children (0-12 years). People in regional and rural communities often live with the threat of bushfires, floods, drought, severe storms, and other extreme weather events. Some families have been affected by these disasters and are still trying to recover. Researchers will test two different ways of supporting families in regional and rural Victoria: Family Foundations (FF): An 8-session program to promote parent wellbeing, parenting partnerships, and communication. All parents/caregivers/parenting partners in the family participate in sessions delivered by a health professional online. Family Life Check-In: A brief 30-minute telephone call with a health professional to discuss family wellbeing and relationships, and identify any supports needed. The goal of this trial is to learn whether FF works to reduce mental health difficulties for regional and rural families. The main question it aims to answer is: Compared to Family Life Check-In, does Family Foundations lead to fewer mental health difficulties? Participants will: Complete an online survey before randomisation, after they have received FF or Family Life Check-In, and six months after starting the project. Take part in either Family Foundations or Family Life Check-In.
