Clinical Trials Centre

The Clinical Trials Centre at Wesley Research Institute has been managing trials since 1994. Clinical trials are a type of research involving human volunteers dedicated to offering new and emerging treatment options to patients with various illnesses and diseases.

About the Clinical Trials Centre

The purpose of a clinical trial is to evaluate new approaches in treating medical conditions or diseases under controlled conditions. This involves determining how well people respond to new treatments, what side effects there are, how well they are tolerated or whether the new intervention is better than those that are already available.

The conduct of high-quality clinical trials is not only essential in the development of new medicines and medical devices, but they are also necessary to find new uses for existing medicines.

The Clinical Trials Centre enables patient participation in national and international phase I-IV clinical trials with a focus on evaluating new therapies, drugs, and diagnostic tools to drive discoveries into standard clinical practice. 

Engaged across four hospitals – The Wesley Hospital, St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, Buderim Private Hospital and St Stephen’s (Hervey Bay) – clinicians and patients located in both metropolitan and regional areas can participate.

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and that’s why Wesley Research Institute focuses on providing participants, researchers, and sponsors with a first-class, professional experience.  Our dedicated staff strive for a reputation of integrity and quality, delivering a warm, caring and inviting environment for all participants.

What clinical trials mean to participants

Clinical trials at Wesley Research Institute

Coeliac Disease Clinical Trials

Open for patient recruitment
Dr James Daveson and his team are developing a world leading multi-disciplinary research program for Coeliac Disease and Immune Health. However we can’t do this research without the coeliac community participating and volunteering to take part in clinical trials.

Open for patient recruitment
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics of an investigational drug, ARO-DUX4 in adults with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Type 1.  
View Trial

CONVERT II

Open for patient recruitment
This trial will evaluate lung function changes, hyperinflation (trapped air causing the lungs to become too large), quality of life, and adverse events after the closure of the air channels with the AeriSeal System, followed by the implantation of the Zephyr Valve to achieve bronchoscopic lung volume reduction.
