Clinical Trial Partner Sites
UniSC Clinical Trials works with partner sites that run separate, specialised studies. These studies are not administered by UniSC Clinical Trials. Please contact the site directly if you are interested in one of these studies.
VasoActive Research Group
The Foot-PAD Trial
Does leg artery disease cause you pain when walking?
If you are over 18 years of age and suffer symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD) you may be eligible to take part in a trial. The Foot-PAD Trial is testing a new therapy for PAD using a footplate muscle stimulation device.
The trial will involve nine study visits across an 18-week period (including walking tests, vascular function tests and questionnaires) and daily home use of a Revitive footplate device for 12 weeks. Participants will receive expenses to cover cost of travel to study visits (up to $50 per visit), a free Revitive Medic Coach device to keep upon completion of the trial (RRP $550) and a medical screening.
All study appointments will be held at the University of the Sunshine Coast Sippy Downs campus.
Protocol Title: The Foot-PAD trial: Effect of a footplate muscle stimulation program on walking capacity in people with Peripheral Artery Disease.
HREC approval: The Prince Charles Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee / USC Human Research Ethics Committee.
Coast Joint Care - Rheumatology Research Unit
To see if you are eligible for these studies, please call the Rheumatology Research Unit on 07 5443 1033.
Knee Osteoarthritis Study
We are looking for volunteers who:
- Are between 40 to 75 years of age
- Have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee
- Have persisting pain in the knee despite current medications
To participate in a clinical trial for a potential new treatment for knee osteoarthritis.
This is a 5-year study and participants will be required to attend regular on-site visits to our Maroochydore clinic over this period.
For further information or to register your interest, please call the Rheumatology Research Unit on 07 5443 1033.
Full title: A 5-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of intra-articular regimens of LNA043 versus placebo in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
HREC Approval: Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee
As a clinical trials participant, your safety and comfort are our highest priorities. We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the entire clinical trial experience, so you can make informed decisions about the management of your health.
This includes:
- An informed consent process, where all relevant information is provided to you prior to making a decision.
- The opportunity for an in-depth discussion with your health provider (for example, GP or specialist) as well as the medical researchers undertaking the trial, before you commence the trial.
- The ability to leave a clinical trial at any time, with no obligation to remain in a trial if you no longer wish to participate.
- The ability to discuss results from any tests performed.
- A summary of the results at the completion of the trial.
Common questions about clinical trials
Before deciding whether or not to take part, you might want to talk about it with a relative, friend or your local doctor. Ask questions about anything that you do not understand or want to know more about. A participant information sheet or consent form will be provided to you and tells you about the research project. It explains the tests and treatments involved. Knowing what is involved will help you decide if you want to take part in the research. Participation in research is voluntary. If you do not wish to take part, you do not have to. You will receive the best possible care whether or not you take part.
All research in Australia involving humans is reviewed by an independent group of people called a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). Projects carried out by UniSC will be conducted according to the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007). This statement has been developed to protect the interests of people who agree to participate in human research studies.
A placebo is a medication with no active ingredients or a procedure without any medical benefit. It looks like the real thing but it is not. This research project has been designed to make sure the researchers interpret the results in a fair and appropriate way and avoids study doctors or participants jumping to conclusions.
We cannot guarantee or promise that you will receive any benefits from clinical research. For further information please read the Consumer Guide to Clinical Trials.
Medical treatments often cause side effects. You may have none, some or all of the effects listed for a specific clinical trial, and they may be mild, moderate or severe. If you have any of these side effects, or are worried about them, talk with your study doctor. Your study doctor will also be looking out for side effects.
If you suffer any injuries or complications as a result of the research project, you should contact the study team as soon as possible and you will be assisted with arranging appropriate medical treatment. If you are eligible for Medicare, you can receive any medical treatment required to treat the injury or complication, free of charge, as a public patient in any Australian public hospital.
There are no additional costs associated with participating in a research project, nor will you be paid. All medication, tests and medical care required as part of the research project will be provided to you free of charge. You may be reimbursed for any reasonable travel, parking, meals and other expenses associated with the research project visit.
Participation in any research project is voluntary. If you do not wish to take part, you do not have to. If you decide to take part and later change your mind, you are free to withdraw from the project at any stage.

Established in 2014, UniSC Clinical Trials is delivering ethical, expert research across a range of therapeutic areas. Working with a network of qualified medical practitioners in public, private and independent practices, we aim to create a hub of clinical research capabilities across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Moreton Bay regions, and increase the therapeutic options available to clinicians and their patients.
Referring patients
We encourage all trial participants to maintain routine visits with their referring physician, and are committed to the timely and effective sharing of progress reports and health outcomes.
To discuss a patient’s eligibility or for more information please contact us.
Work with us
Each clinical trial requires an expert and committed team, including:
- The Principal Investigator, who is accountable for the conduct of the trial, recruitment and safety of all participants
- Co-Investigator(s), who are medically qualified and provide medical support and expertise to the principal investigator
- Clinical research coordinator(s) who are trained in clinical research (from a nursing, science, pharmacy or health-related background) and provide project management, recruitment and administrative support
We welcome expressions of interest from medically qualified individuals who are experienced or specialising in a specific therapeutic area, and are interested in partnering on a clinical trial. The USC Clinical Trials can provide full training and certification in GCP (online) and meet any other clinical trial training needs.
