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.
The objective of this post-market study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LimFlow System in creating a below-the-knee arterio-venous fistula for venous arterialization in subjects with critical limb ischemia.
Research question: If adults with bone or joint infection have local antibiotic therapy, can they do without prolonged treatment with antibiotics by mouth (oral) or injection? Adults with bone or joint infections are usually given long courses of oral antibiotics or into a vein (intravenous) following surgery. It is also safe to give antibiotics directly into the bone or joint at the time of surgery: this is called local antibiotic therapy. This study investigates whether using local antibiotic therapy would allow shorter courses of oral or intravenous antibiotics, in order to limit antibiotic resistance, side effects and cost. This study compares short against long courses of oral or intravenous antibiotics for adults who have been given appropriate local antibiotic therapy to treat bone or joint infection. Patients who can take part will be randomly divided into two groups within 7 days of surgery. One group will stop oral or intravenous antibiotics, while the other group will continue for 4 weeks or more (standard treatment). Adults with bone and joint infections who have already had surgery and local antibiotic therapy will be invited. Patients will not take part if they need intravenous antibiotics for another reason, or if their infection is caused by bacteria resistant to the antibiotic(s) used in their local antibiotic therapy. Main measurement: how many patients' infections return within 12 months after surgery. This will be decided by a group of doctors who do not know what treatment the patient received. Other important measurements: serious adverse events; side-effects; quality of life; cost of treatment. Patients will be asked questions at their usual clinic visits, and will be given a questionnaire at the start of treatment and 1 year later.
Briefly, participants will be assessed for their eligibility for the study using an oral glucose tolerance test, which involves drinking a sugary drink followed by a series of small blood samples. If eligible, participants will be asked to take part in a fitness test and then two trials which will involve walking on a treadmill at a steady pace. Before and after the exercise a small piece of muscle will be taken from their thigh under local anaesthesia, as well as several small blood samples. Muscle muscle samples will be assessed for lipid metabolites.
This is a Phase III, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Tauroursodeoxycholic (TUDCA) as add-on Treatment in Patients Affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
This study will determine the pharmacodynamically-active dose of gevokizumab and the tolerable dose of gevokizumab in combination with the standard of care anti-cancer therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic gastroesophageal cancer and metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and the preliminary efficacy of gevokizumab in combination with the SOC anti-cancer therapy in subjects with mCRC and mGEC.
This is a non-interventional/observational cohort of NSCLC unresectable stage III patients treated with durvalumab. The study will be carried out as a retrospective review of established medical records for a subset of unresectable stage III patients treated with durvalumab.
This is a clinical study to assess the safety and feasibility of Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) controlled blood-stage human malaria infection (CHMI), by inoculation using a newly created source of P. vivax malaria-infected blood. 25 healthy malaria-naïve UK volunteers, aged 18 - 50, will be recruited through the five phases of the study at the CCVTM, Oxford. Volunteers will undergo primary, secondary and tertiary P. vivax blood-stage challenges, which will be induced by injection of P. vivax infected blood. After the first challenge, the optimal dose for blood-stage CHMI will be selected and used for the second and third challenges. Through each challenge period, volunteers will have blood taken at regular intervals to measure the parasite growth, quantify the sexual parasite forms and assess the immune response to P. vivax infection. Transmission of P. vivax from volunteers to the Anopheline mosquito vectors will also be assessed. In each challenge, following diagnosis, volunteers will be treated with a standard antimalarial course of oral artemether-lumefantrine (Riamet), given over 60 hours. Volunteers who take part in this study will be involved in the trial for approximately 2 years, receiving each of the three challenges at intervals of approximately 5 (and up to 9) months. Volunteers will be followed for 3 months after their last challenge.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) in participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), glioblastoma (GBM), biliary tract cancers (BTC), or pancreatic cancer.
The XEN1101 Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of increasing doses of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive treatment in adult patients diagnosed with focal epilepsy, followed by an optional open-label extension (OLE).
