There are about 25435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Kingdom. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study involves drawing blood samples from men before and after they perform 30-minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The investigators will evaluate whether adding the exercise serum to colon cancer cells in a dish can reduce the growth of the cells compared to the resting serum. Note: serum is the liquid part of the blood that carries hormones and metabolites around the body.
The aim of the study is to examine if a pragmatic, evidenced based and generalisable intrapartum care bundle involving birth companions and empowering mothers will reduce birth injury-related epilepsy at 18 months of age in India. The care bundle will have four key elements (interventions): (1) birth companion providing constant 1:1 care during labour and early perinatal period; (2) fetal surveillance during active labour by a nurse or midwife using a graphic display Doppler; (3) labour management by an electronic partogram with an 'alert' and 'nag' feature based on the current WHO guidelines; (4) brain oriented early newborn care with resuscitation where indicated. The care bundle will be evaluated using a prospective interrupted time series design, recruiting 80,000 women delivering in one of the three participating centres in south India, over two years. Accurate baseline data will be collected during the first year and the optimised care bundle will be introduced during the second year. All full term newborn infants admitted to the neonatal unit with perinatal brain injury during both periods, will have detailed assessments including video electroencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging, and will be followed up until 18 months of age. Primary outcome is the number of infants with epilepsy (categorised per current ILAE guidelines) at 18 months of age expressed as per 1000 term livebirths. The investigators will use a segmented logistic regression to divide the time series into pre- and post-intervention segments, with the intervention date as the intersection between segments. The difference in the two segments will be quantified using the level (step change) and slope (trend change). The total duration of the study is four years including 24 months of recruitment and 18 months of follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a strategy of maintaining serum potassium levels at ≥3.6 mEq/L is non-inferior to a strategy of usual treatment (≥4.5 mEq/L) on the occurrence of new onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (AFACS) in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
This is an open-label extension study of IMR-687 in adult patients who completed Imara's blinded Phase 2a study (IMR-SCD-102). The open-label extension study will evaluate long-term safety and tolerability.
Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a benralizumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with a history of frequent COPD exacerbations and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils (≥300/μL). Eligible patients must have a history of ≥2 moderate and/or severe COPD exacerbations in the previous year despite receiving triple (ICS/LABA/LAMA) background therapy for at least 3 months and ICS-based dual inhaled treatment for the remainder of the year. Eligible patients must also have an elevated blood eosinophil count. The treatment period will be of variable duration and will continue until the last patient has the opportunity to complete a minimum of 56 weeks, at which point all patients will complete the study. The primary endpoint will be analyzed at Week 56.
This is a long-term, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of Migalastat in Subjects > 12 Years of Age With Fabry Disease and Amenable GLA Variants
Crohn's disease (CD) results in chronic intestinal inflammation, is of increasing incidence both in the developed and developing world and has a marked impact on patient quality of life. The prevalence of CD is 10.6 per 100,000 people in the UK and represents a significant annual financial burden of around €16.7 billion in Europe. A wide range of nutrients and food components have been investigated for their role in the pathogenesis and course of CD. A common theme suggests that CD risk is associated with a "Western diet", including high fat, high sugar and processed foods. However, intervention studies that exclude specific aspects of the diet such as sugar or that compare low and high fat diets have failed to show effectiveness in practice. Observational human and experimental animal studies suggest that certain food additives used extensively by the food industry play a role in the pathogenesis and natural history of CD. However, to date no evidence exists for the effectiveness of a diet low in these food additives in CD. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a diet low in certain food additives compared to a normal UK diet on CD activity, health-related quality of life, gut bacteria, gut permeability, gut inflammation and dietary intake, in patients with mildly active, stable CD. We will recruit patients with mildly active CD and will randomise them to receive either the diet low in the food additives of interest, or the diet representative of a normal UK diet. Patients will follow their allocation diet for 8 weeks and will attend study visits at the start and end of the trial, at which points questionnaires will be completed and samples will be collected.
This is the first in human treatment with ST-920, a recombinant AAV2/6 vector encoding the cDNA for human a-Gal A. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of ST-920. ST-920 aims to provide stable, long-term production of α-Gal A at therapeutic levels in subjects with Fabry disease. The constant production of α-Gal A in humans should, importantly, enable reduction and potentially clearance of Fabry disease substrates Gb3 and lyso-Gb3. On Day 1, patients will be infused intravenously with a single dose of ST-920 and followed for a period of 52 weeks.
Diabetic wounds post digital amputation have poor healing in 30-45% of cases, resulting in 75% of patients undergoing a further amputation within the year, despite best wound management. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a promising safe and non invasive treatment that has been shown to improve healing in chronic ulcers and burns by promoting healing and decreasing risk of infection. The study will recruit patients on a hospital ward who have undergone a toe amputation for a infected non healing diabetic foot ulcer. Participants will be informed about the study, given an patient information sheet and invited to give informed consent. Consenting participants will undergo shockwave therapy three times in the seven days after their operation, in addition to standard wound care. Wound measurements, blood perfusion, tissue integrity, quality of life and pain scores will be recorded at baseline, after the third treatment, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after recruitment to the study. The study aims to recruit 25 patients. The results will be compared to a matched retrospective cohort group who received standard wound care.
This is a long-term follow-up safety and efficacy study of participants in clinical trials for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who were treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi. Participants will roll over from their respective previous (parent) study into this long-term study for continuous monitoring of safety as well as monitoring of continued efficacy and durability of response to onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi treatment.
