The monoclonal antibody GNbAC1 targets the envelope protein (Env) of the human endogenous Multiple Sclerosis associated RetroVirus (MSRV), which could play a critical role in different autoimmune disorders, notably type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study is a multicentre study evaluating for the first time the safety and efficacy of GNbAC1 in T1D subjects for a first bouble-blind period of 20 weeks followed by an optional open-label period of 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of six consecutive 4-weekly doses of GNbAC1 in subjects with T1D. Secondary objectives are to determine the pharmacodynamic response to GNbAC1 on biomarkers of T1D.

This study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib and atezolizumab in participants with advanced BRAF V600-wild type (WT), metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab monotherapy in participants with BRAFV600-WT metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma, who have not been previously treated.

This prospective observational study aims to (i) asses intensive care doctors trigger for and the expected physiological response to a fluid bolus and (ii) evaluate the patient's actual physiological response to a single fluid bolus at one hour post-bolus for 100 adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit will be included in the study.

This is a phase 2/3, global, multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or in combination in participants with unresectable, advanced or metastatic NSCLC determined to harbor oncogenic somatic mutations or positive by tumor mutational burden (TMB) assay as identified by a blood-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response to at least 2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or intolerance to or a contraindication for NSAIDs, and who are naïve to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARD).

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of new treatments for kidney cancer called Nivolumab and Ipilimumab. The study is in two parts; in the first instance patients receive nivolumab alone. If this treatment is not effective patients may move onto the second part of the trial, where they receive nivolumab + ipilimumab. There is no placebo. The reason to offer one treatment alone, followed by two treatments together is that it is thought that the double treatment may have more side-effects, but also may be effective in people in whom the single first treatment (nivolumab alone) has not helped. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are experimental treatments. This means that they are not an approved treatment for non-clear cell kidney cancer in Australia. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Nivolumab (also known as Opdivo or BMS-936558) and Ipilumumab (also known as MDX-010 or Yervoy). Nivolumab and ipilimumab are antibodies (a type of human protein) that are being tested to see if they will allow the body's immune system to work against tumour cells. The immune system is the body's defence against cancer, bacteria and viruses. The effectiveness of nivolumab and ipilimumab in cancer of the kidney will be assessed by measuring the size of patient tumours via CT scans. Nivolumab and ipilimumab have been used alone or in combination in many other cancers, and are licenced for use in other cancers like advanced melanoma and bladder cancer in Australia. They have not been tested in people with non-clear cell kidney cancer. About 85 participants with non-clear cell kidney cancer are expected to participate in this study, from Australia and New Zealand. This research study has been initiated by Dr. Craig Gedye, is being conducted in collaboration with the Centre for Biostatistics and Clinical Trials (BaCT) and sponsored in Australia by the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate (ANZUP) Cancer Trials Group Pty Ltd. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is supplying the study drugs and grant funding for this research.

The primary aim of the project is to investigate whether a behavioural training programme improves troublesome bowel symptoms, that people with inflammatory bowel disease continue to have, despite their disease being controlled by medication. The other aim is to determine if there are factors which influence how well the training programme works. People attending an Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinic in a tertiary hospital, with bothersome bowel symptoms despite disease control, will be asked to join the study. This involves 2 to 6 sessions with a pelvic floor trained physiotherapist over a period of 6 months with further follow up at 12 months..

This international, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the safety and tolerability profile of everolimus in post-menopausal women with HR positive, HER2 negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after documented recurrence or progression following a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) therapy in Novartis Oncology emergent growth market (EGM) countries.Data was presented by Asian countries vs Non-Asian countries to confirm no difference in safety and efficacy. Summary statistics were presented.

The purpose is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Stellarex DCB for the treatment of stenosis or occlusions of below-the-knee arteries.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the reduction of LDL-C by evinacumab in comparison to placebo after 16 weeks in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, or non-HeFH with a history of clinical ASCVD) with persistent hypercholesterolemia despite receiving maximally-tolerated LMT. Persistent hypercholesterolemia is defined as LDL-C =70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) for those patients with clinical ASCVD and LDL-C =100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) for those patients without clinical ASCVD.
