The aim of the EMBRACE clinical trial is to compare outcomes (knee pain, symptoms, function and quality of life) between people with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture who are managed with either a novel bracing protocol (Cross Bracing Protocol), or with ACL reconstruction surgery. The main question that the trial aims to answer is: In individuals with acute ACL rupture, is management with the Cross Bracing Protocol more clinically effective and cost effective compared to early ACL reconstruction surgery? 180 people across five Australian cities, with a recent ACL injury, will be randomly allocated to one of two treatments. 1. Cross Bracing Protocol People who are allocated to the bracing treatment will: * wear a knee brace for 12 weeks * see a sports doctor * have 23 visits to a physiotherapist who will supervise their knee rehab over 12 months. * have two knee scans; 3 and 18 months after they enrol 2. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery People who are allocated to the surgery group will: * have surgery within 8 weeks of enrolling in the study * have 15 visits to a physiotherapist for their knee rehab over 12 months after surgery. * have one knee scan 18 months after they enrol. All participants will: * complete surveys at the beginning and 3, 6, 12 and 18 months later so the main trial outcomes can be collected, as well as additional information about their knee. * have knee imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI scan) so the overall condition of their knee can be assessed, as well as whether their ACL has healed.

This is a phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of tulisokibart in participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The primary hypothesis is that at least 1 dose of tulisokibart is superior to placebo with respect to the proportion of participants achieving a 50% reduction in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR50) at Week 16 (ie, at end of double-blind treatment).

The goal of this study is to check if the study device, the Akyva System, is safe to use and to find out if it has any possible side effects. Researchers will see if the study device can help you urinate without the need for catheterization, which involves passing a catheter (small tube) into the bladder, and if there is improvement in the leftover urine amount in your bladder after urinating or trying to urinate.

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the safety and tolerability of an approved drug (Apomorphine) when administered as a nasal powder spray formulation (NT-301) as well as collect information on how NT-301 moves into, through and out of your body, called Pharmacokinetics. The study also aims to compare the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NT-301 to an injectable Apomorphine product (Movapo Pen), already approved for use in Australia.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and change in disease activity of surzetoclax in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Surzetoclax is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. In Substudy 1 there will be dose escalation and dose expansion phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (expansion) of surzetoclax in combination with daratumumab + dexamethasone, to determine the best dose of surzetoclax. In Substudy 2, there will be a dose escalation phase where participants will receive various doses of surzetoclax alone. In Substudy 3 there will be dose escalation and optimization phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (optimization) of of surzetoclax and etentamig to determine the best dose of surzetoclax and etentamig. Optimization will also include etentamig received alone. Approximately 325 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 55 sites worldwide. In Substudy 1 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with SC daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets or daratumumab injections + oral pomalidomide + oral dexamethasone tablets. In Substudy 2, Japanese participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets. In Substudy 3 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with IV etentamig and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses of both oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with of IV etentamig, or IV etentamig alone. The total study duration is approximately 4.5 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution. The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.

This trial aims to increase the use of antimicrobial stewardship resources when treating patients with respiratory tract infections. This trial is set in Australian general practices (family medicine or primary care). The main question it aims to answer is which type of implementation activities increase the use of antimicrobial stewardship resources. Researchers will compare doctors who receive face-to-face implementation activities (the Integrated Network group) to those who received virtual or online activities (the Virtual Network group). The primary hypothesis is that there will be a difference in how often interventions are used Participating doctors will be asked to record how often they use antimicrobial stewardship resources and which interventions they prefer. Participating practices will also provide researchers data on how many patients the doctors see. Patients with respiratory tract infections who saw a participating doctor will be asked to give feedback on their experience using surveys. A subgroup of doctors, practice staff, and patients will interviewed about their experience in the study.

In this study, researchers will learn more about omaveloxolone, also known as BIIB141 or SKYCLARYS®. Omaveloxolone is already approved for people with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) who are 16 years of age or older. However, it is not yet available for younger teens and children. The main goal of this study is to learn how omaveloxolone affects symptoms of FA and its safety in younger participants between the ages of 2 and 15 years old. The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are: * How does omaveloxolone affect the participants' FA symptoms? * How many participants have adverse events during the study? * Are there any changes in the participants' overall health or heart health? Adverse events are health problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug. Researchers will use the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) to test nerve function. The mFARS tests movement ability, balance, coordination, speech, and arm and leg functions. They will also use a number of questionnaires to learn more about participants' quality of life, muscle strength, and ability to perform daily tasks. Researchers will also note any changes as participants go through puberty. Finally, researchers will learn more about how the body processes omaveloxolone in children and teenagers. This study will be done in 2 parts as follows: * Participants will be screened for up to 4 weeks to check if they can join the study. * In Part 1, participants will be randomly assigned to take either omaveloxolone or a placebo by mouth once a day for about 1 year. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Part 1 will be double blind. This means that the participants, study doctor, and site staff will not know if the participants are receiving omaveloxolone or a placebo. * Including screening, participants will have up to 9 clinic visits and 1 phone call during Part 1. If a participant does not join Part 2, they will have another safety follow-up phone call a month after their last dose of omaveloxolone. * Participants who complete Part 1 will move onto Part 2 where everyone will receive omaveloxolone for about 2 years. * During Part 2, participants will have up to 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call. Participants will also have a follow-up phone call about a month after they stop taking omaveloxolone. * In total, participants will have up to 17 clinic visits and 3 phone calls. Each participant will be in the study for up to 3 years.

A Phase II, Multicenter, Open-Label Trial of DB-1311 in combination with BNT327 or DB-1305 in Participants with Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate superiority of Saruparib (AZD5305) relative to placebo added to a standard radiation therapy (RT) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) regimen by assessment of metastases-free survival in participants with high-risk and very high-risk localised/locally advanced prostate cancer with a breast cancer gene mutation (BRCAm).

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent. * EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) * pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells * Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery * Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.
