12.01.2022 Asthma trial volunteers wanted on Queensland's Sunshine Coast! The University of the Sunshine Coast is starting a clinical trial to test the effectiveness and s...afety of a potential new triple therapy medicine to better manage and treat asthma. The new once-a-day asthma treatment might reduce the need for people with asthma to carry around multiple puffers and undergo complicated treatment regimes.

11.01.2022 ECLIPSE MEDICAL TO HELP YOU SAY GOODBYE TO A SORE THROAT FASTER We are proud to be trialling an innovative new medical device that will enable us to detect t...he bacteria causing a sore throat in less than ten minutes, thanks to an exciting research project we are undertaking with the University of the Sunshine Coast’s (USC) Clinical Trials Centre. The research study pioneers a technique for detection of Streptococcus, commonly known as Strep, on-the-spot here in the clinic in less than ten minutes. Strep commonly causes a sore throat and acute upper respiratory tract infection in both adults and children. Our own Dr Glen Mulhall is Principal Investigator and says that the new device will mean doctors across Australia will be able to diagnose faster and better, and patients may experience less severe symptoms and fewer complications. A sore throat is of course very common at this time of year, and early detection can really help reduce the level of discomfort and duration of illness. In addition, it is important to know whether a virus or bacteria is the cause of the problem. Knowing with speed and certainty that it is a Strep bacteria causing the symptoms means care and medication can be focussed quickly and appropriately, so doctors can prescribe the right type of antibiotic to attack that particular bacteria. What does it all mean? Well if you have a strep bacteria causing a sore throat, we'll be able to help you feel a lot better a lot faster! We'll also be able to address a significant problem impacting Australian healthcare; the over-prescription of antibiotics. That's because a multitude of viruses can cause a sore throat and upper respiratory tract symptoms, so you don't want to be treated with antibiotics if you don't have to; that won't help you feel better now, get rid of the medical problem at hand, or help the problem of excessive antibiotic use in our community. The device being trialled is called the ellumelab Group A Strep Test, and it allows for accurate and real-time near-patient testing in the convenience of a doctor’s office with results available in less than 10 minutes. The core purpose of the ellumelab device is to promote early diagnosis of this important and treatable infectious illness, primarily in children, as Strep primarily effects school-age children aged 5-15 years. Potential subjects over the age of 3 who have experienced rapid onset of a sore throat and fever within the last five days are being sought to take part in the trial. If subjects meet the criteria they will be asked to provide two throat swabs and a tongue swab. The trial is a multi-centre study being conducted at six sites across Australia including Eclipse Medical Centre and the USC Clinical Trials Centre as the lead site. Patients who are interested in participating can go to www.usc.edu.au/trials or call 07 5456 3797.

05.01.2022 NEW CLINICAL TRIAL FOR ‘SURFER’S EYE’ Surfers are among a high number of Pterygium sufferers on the Sunshine Coast that could benefit from a new clini...cal trial. The University of the Sunshine Coast's clinical trials centre has partnered with a local optometrist, to test a new eye drop for the common eye condition, also known as "surfer’s eye". The condition stems from UV exposure, dust, and surf, and forms thin growths of tissue across the eye, which causes irritation, redness, and can cause blindness if left untreated. Associate Professor Leo Hartley says the trial is now looking for patients to test the eye drop, which aims to stunt the growths in their initial stages. Up until now we've had no other alternative than to actually excise them (growths) from the front of the eyes, he said. No one ever thanks you for doing Pterygium surgery because it's so painful afterwards. So we've actually got a drop that may actually stop the growth of Pterygium in its tracks. According to Professor Hartley, the condition is commonly found in surfers, trades people, and anyone exposed to sun and dust regularly. This could be a really big game changer because we are seeing a lot of patients here on the Sunshine Coast with Pterygium, he said. Pterygium sufferer Mark Hartley says he has struggled with the condition for many years, and delayed having surgery due to the pain and after care involved. He says he's pleased to hear a simpler solution is on its way. I've been a bit shy and scared of getting that operation to be honest, it sounds a bit like getting a potato peeler on your eye, so if there are drops to do that instead, I'd prefer that, he said. It seems to be worse after surfing, hanging around the beach, long days at work, then by the end of the day, your eyes are feeling really, really gritty and sore. To be able to use drops instead of having surgery, well it is going to be much more preferable for anyone. For more information visit: usc.edu.au/trials or call 5456 3797.
