The registry is primarily designed to assess outcome, efficacy and residual safety aspects of CRT based on long-term data from an unselected, real-life clinical set-up. Moreover, the observation of the patient status should help to find possible predictors for HF events and to identify areas of improvement for CRT and for CRT device settings.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple-ascending doses of ARO-HBV in healthy adult volunteers and participants with hepatitis B virus (HBV).

The main purpose of the study was to determine the onset of Mavenclad® action by frequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of the combined unique active (CUA) lesions in participants with highly active relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the ninth most common cause of cancer in Australian women, with an estimated 1500 new diagnoses in Australia in 2015, and remains the seventh most common cause of cancer death in Australian women. High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common form of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and accounts for the most deaths due to a gynaecological cancer. The majority of women diagnosed with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer present with advanced disease, and are typically managed with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Despite initial good response rates to chemotherapy, High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer recurs in up to 70% of patients who present with Stage III/IV disease. The purpose of this research project is to test how safe and effective the combination treatment of cobimetinib, bevacizumab and atezolizumab is as a treatment for patients with platinum resistant or refractory high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Cobimetinib is a drug that blocks a protein called Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK). MEK proteins are involved in the multiplication of cancer cells. By binding to the MEK protein, cobimetinib may help to stop the growth of your cancer cells. Bevacizumab is an antibody (a type of protein produced by the immune system) that is specifically designed to block a protein called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that can increase the growth of tumour cells and binding to VEGF may help to stop the growth of tumours. Atezolizumab is a type of drug called a Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. PD-L1 binds to PD-1 which is a type of protein found on the surface of cells in your body's immune system, and it controls the ability of your body's natural immune response to trigger the death of tumour cells. Tumour cells can hide from the immune system by using PD-L1, which stops your immune system from triggering tumour cell death. Atezolizumab is a drug designed to block this PD-1/PD-L1 interaction by binding to PD-L1 so that PD-1 cannot bind to it and stops it from turning off your immune cells. This helps your immune system to recognise and destroy tumour cells. In turn, this potentially can stop or reverse the growth of your cancer. Cobimetinib, bevacizumab and atezolizumab have been used alone or in combination in the treatment of many other cancers. Each of them are individually licensed for the treatment of cancers such as advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and bladder cancer in Australia. However, this treatment combination is experimental and is not approved to treat ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancers in any country.

This study will evaluate the safety and IOP-lowering effectiveness of XEN in patients with Angle Closure Glaucoma.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab + epacadostat vs pembrolizumab + placebo in participants with cisplatin-ineligible urothelial carcinoma.

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection is a major cause of death and disability globally with a disproportionately high burden in settings of disadvantage worldwide. Acute infections due to GAS range from very common superficial skin infections (\>150 million prevalent cases) and pharyngitis (over 600 million incident cases) to life-threatening invasive disease (\>600,000 incident cases) such as necrotising fasciitis. Post-infectious GAS sequelae of GAS include acute rheumatic fever (ARF, \~500,000 incident cases) leading to rheumatic heart disease (RHD, \~34 million prevalent cases), and acute glomerulonephritis. The health services impact of GAS disease in all its forms is immense and strikes at every level from primary to intensive care. Controlled human infection models (CHIMs) have a long history of critical contributions to vaccine development. Data from CHIMs meeting modern scientific, regulatory, and ethical standards, are aiding efforts to control over 25 major human pathogens, including bacteria (e.g. pneumococcus, cholera), viruses (e.g. respiratory syncytial virus, influenza), and parasites (e.g. malaria, schistosomiasis). A reliable and safe controlled human infection model of GAS pharyngitis will be an important part of the global vaccine development effort. To build the model, the investigators are undertaking a dose-ranging study using an observational, dose-escalation, inpatient trial to determine the dose of GAS administered by direct oropharyngeal inoculation (bacteria 'painted' onto throat) required to reliably produce a pharyngitis attack rate of = 60% in carefully screened healthy adult volunteers.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat, pembrolizumab monotherapy, and the EXTREME regimen (cetuximab + cisplatin or carboplatin + 5-fluorouracil) as first-line treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

This 4-week study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of crisaborole ointment 2%, applied twice daily (BID) in subjects who are 3 months to less than 24 months of age with mild-to-moderate AD.

This is a two-part, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effect of ZX008 when used as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of uncontrolled seizures in children and adults with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
