The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational treatment is effective compared with placebo and PVP-Iodine in the treatment of adults and children with bacterial conjunctivitis.

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab versus platinum-based SoC chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC in patients who are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type and with PD-L1 high expression (PEARL)

This clinical research study is being conducted by Spark Therapeutics, Inc. to determine the safety and efficacy of the factor VIII gene transfer treatment with SPK-8011 in individuals with hemophilia A.

To evaluate the safety of OncoSil™ in a patient population undergoing standard chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer. This study has been designed to satisfy regulatory requirements. The clinical investigation will be conducted at approximately 15 sites in Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe (Belgium) involving 40 patients.

An assessor blinded multi-centre randomized controlled trial will be conducted in which 60 participants will be randomized to either a novel task-specific approach to training bike skills or a parent-led home program comparison group. Baseline assessment will take place within 6 weeks prior to starting the intervention (T0) and outcomes will be assessed within a week following (T1); and at 12 - 14 weeks following (T2) the week long intervention. The primary outcome is attainment of individualised two-wheel bike specific goals at T1. All statistical analysis will be conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. Logistic regression will be used to assess the effect of providing the novel intervention compared to the parent-led home program on bike-specific goal attainment.

Background. Numerous studies have investigated high-dose corticosteroids in cardiac surgery, but with mixed results leading to ongoing variations in practice around the world. The Dexamethasone for Cardiac Surgery-II Trial (DECS-II) is a study comparing high-dose dexamethasone with placebo in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods. We discuss the rationale for conducting DECS-II, a 2800-patient, pragmatic, multicenter, assessor-blinded, randomized trial in cardiac surgery, and the features of the DECS-II study design (objectives, end points, target population, balanced clusters based on practice preference with post-randomization consent, treatments, patient follow-up and analysis). Conclusions. The DECS-II Trial will use a novel, efficient trial design to evaluate whether high-dose dexamethasone has a patient-centered benefit of enhancing recovery and increasing the number of days at home after cardiac surgery.

Australia was one of the countries to implement a universal school-based male vaccination program - in 2013. This research project will examine the prevalence of HPV among young men who have sex with men (MSM) who have been offered school-based HPV vaccination.

EUS - guided choledocho-duodenostomy (ECDS) is an established option for bile duct drainage in unresectable malignant distal CBD strictures when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails. However, how primary ECDS compares with ERCP with covered self-expanding metallic stents (CSEMS) in unresectable malignant distal CBD strictures is uncertain. The aim of the current study is to compare primary ECDS versus ERCP with CSEMS in unresectable malignant distal CBD strictures. We hypothesis that ECDS is associated with a higher 1-year stent patency rate.

This is an open-label, Phase I, dose-escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of budigalimab. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of budigalimab in combination with Rovalpituzumab Tesirine and budigalimab in combination with venetoclax. The study will consist of 3 parts: budigalimab monotherapy dose escalation and expansion, budigalimab in combination with Rovalpituzumab Tesirine and budigalimab in combination with venetoclax.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether APR-246, 5-FU and cisplatin are safe and effective in the treatment of platinum resistant oesophageal cancer.
