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 is a study of perioperative pembrolizumab or enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab in participants who are cisplatin-ineligible or decline cisplatin with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The primary hypothesis is that perioperative pembrolizumab plus radical cystectomy (RC) plus pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and perioperative enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab plus RC+PLND will achieve superior event-free survival (EFS) compared with RC+PLND alone. With Amendment 5, outcome measures for programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) were removed. With Amendment 8, the primary outcome measure of pathologic complete response (pCR) rates was changed to a secondary outcome measure.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of adult participants with unresected stage I or II (Stage IIB N0, M0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary study hypothesis is SBRT plus pembrolizumab prolongs Event-free Survival (EFS) compared to SBRT plus placebo (normal saline solution).
A global study to evaluate peri-operative pembrolizumab with chemotherapy versus placebo to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in cisplatin eligible patients.
The gut is home to a diverse and dynamic microbial community, termed the microbiota. The microbiota is essential for health and wellbeing and is involved in acquisition of nutrients and energy from the diet, optimisation of the immune system, and resistance against invading pathogens. Critically, in both new mothers and their babies, any disturbance of the microbiota (caused, for example, by antibiotics, delivery mode [vaginal/Caesarean section], or dietary change), has the potential to increase the risk that the baby might subsequently develop allergic-type disorders, infections, and chronic intestinal diseases. Early life is a key period of development, but the investigators need a clearer understanding of how maternal factors and transmission of beneficial microbes from mother to baby influence the development of a healthy infant microbiota. This is only possible through longitudinal studies, where the profiles of microbiota from cohorts of mothers and their babies are correlated with routine and more specific clinical data (i.e. antibiotics and diet) throughout pregnancy and into early life. In order to achieve the aims of the study, the Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB) will work in collaboration with the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) to recruit 250 pregnant female participants. Study duration will be approximately 31 months and during this time, the investigators will ask the participants to collect urine and stool samples and low vaginal and skin swabs. Blood samples and breast milk are optional. From her newborn, investigators will ask the participant to collect a meconium and stool samples and skin swabs. The participant will complete three different types of questionnaires for herself and her newborn over 31 months. This study is fully funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain which is associated with disabling seizures and affects 100,000 people under 25. Many children with epilepsy also have a learning disability or problems with development. Although better outcomes occur in children who are successfully treated early for their epilepsy, 25% continue to have seizures despite best medical treatment. One potential treatment is a neurosurgical operation to remove parts of the brain that generate seizures. A proportion of these children have electrodes inserted into their brains as part of their clinical assessment, termed stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), to help localise these regions. Subsequent surgery is not always successful - up to 40% of children will have ongoing seizures 5 years after surgery. The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of specially designed SEEG electrodes which can measure signals from single brain cells. These electrodes record the same clinical information as normal SEEG electrodes and are implanted in the same way, but can give the research team extra information at the same time. The investigators aim to assess whether studying the changes in the firing of individual cells, both during and between seizures, improves our ability to localise seizures and therefore improve outcomes following surgery. As part of this research project, the investigators will not be doing anything that is not already part of the normal investigation and treatment for these children. Children will be recruited to the study during routine outpatient clinic visits. Surgical planning and execution will not be affected. The electrodes are CE licensed for clinical use and do not alter the risks of the operation. Following the period of monitoring, the care of these children would not be altered in any way. The investigators aim to recruit 30 patients over 3 years. In addition to dissemination via scientific publications and presentations, the findings will be shared with participants and the public.
This post-marketing study is designed to compare the safety of baricitinib versus tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors with respect to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) when given to participants with rheumatoid arthritis.
This trial will evaluate whether empirical treatment against cytomegalovirus and tuberculosis improves survival of HIV-infected infants with severe pneumonia.
The researchers are doing this study to look whether the type 2 diabetes medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on heart disease. Participants will either get semaglutide tablets or placebo tablets ("dummy" medicine) - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants must take one tablet with water every morning on an empty stomach and not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. The study will last for about 3.5-5 years. Participants will have up to 25 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. Women cannot be in the study if pregnant, breast-feeding or if they plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The study is a prospective, multinational (Italy, Ireland and UK), multicenter, randomised Clinical Trial that compares the efficacy and performance of two drug coated balloon (DCB), the MAGIC TOUCH sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) and SeQuent Please paclitaxel coated balloon (B Braun). The objective of the study is to compare angiographic outcomes of Magic TouchTM sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) versus SeQuentTM paclitaxel coated balloon (Bbraun) for the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions in small vessels (≤2.75 mm) with respect to Net Gain (mm) at 6 months follow-up
The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, controlled, multiple-dose study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and systemic exposure of sepofarsen (QR-110) administered via intravitreal injection in subjects with Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to the CEP290 p.Cys998X mutation after 24 months of treatment
