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.
OPTIMAS is a large, prospective, partially blinded randomised controlled trial of early (within ≤4 days [96hrs]) or standard (between day 7 and day 14 after stroke onset) initiation of anticoagulation after stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), using any licensed dose of a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). The trial will use a non-inferiority gatekeeper approach to test for non-inferiority of early anticoagulation followed by a test for superiority, if non-inferiority is established.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran (ALN-TTRSC02) in participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis). Participants will receive vutrisiran subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 3 months (q3M) or the reference comparator patisiran intravenous (IV) injection once every 3 weeks (q3w) during the 18 month Treatment Period. This study will use the placebo arm of the APOLLO study (NCT01960348) as an external comparator for the primary and most other efficacy endpoints during the 18 Month Treatment Period. Following the 18 Month Treatment Period, all participants will be randomized to receive vutrisiran SC injection once every 6 months (q6M) or q3M in the Randomized Treatment Extension (RTE) Period.
Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that interferes with the catabolism of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and furthermore leads to accumulation of various potential toxic metabolites, most prominently gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). Current research indicates that there is developmental delay and significant neurophysiological and biochemical alterations in SSADHD patients, but whether disease presentation varies with age is not known. The investigators propose to determine the natural course of the clinical presentation of SSADHD; to determine the natural course of neurophysiological and biochemical indices known to be altered in SSADHD; and to identify neurophysiological and biochemical predictors of clinical severity. The overall objective is to define the natural course of the clinical, neurophysiological and biochemical spectrum of SSADHD. Secondary objectives include the identification of biomarkers that correlate with disease phenotype and predict clinical outcomes, and the creation of an international SSADHD data repository for future investigation of pathogenesis and therapy.
The study design is a case-control, sample based study. 275 cases (Group 1), infants <12 months old with RSV infection and 40 controls (Group 2), otherwise healthy infants <12 months old without RSV infection will be recruited. Samples will be taken on enrolment and for infants in Group 1; repeated at 7 weeks convalescence. There will be annual follow up by questionnaire for up to 6 years and a minimum of 1 year, depending at what stage in the study the infant is enrolled.
This Phase 3 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab versus the standard of care sorafenib in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received previous systemic anticancer therapy. A single-agent cabozantinib arm will be enrolled in which subjects receive single agent cabozantinib in order to determine its contribution to the overall safety and efficacy of the combination with atezolizumab.
Primary Objective: To characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of fitusiran Secondary Objectives: - To characterize the efficacy and long-term efficacy of fitusiran as assessed by the frequency of: - Bleeding episodes - Spontaneous bleeding episodes - Joint bleeding episodes - To characterize the effects of fitusiran on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures in participants ≥17 years of age
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to characterize the procedural safety and device performance of transfemoral implantation of the Portico™ Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve in patients with symptomatic degenerative aortic stenosis.
Abbreviated Title : CUPem Clinical Indication : A Phase II, Two-Stage, Trial of Pembrolizumab in Cancer of unknown primary Trial Type : Single Arm, non-randomised; Two-stage; Hypothesis generating Type of control : None Route of administration : IV Trial Blinding : N/A Treatment Groups :Two cohorts: (i) First Cohort: One or more lines of prior therapy (ii) Second Cohort: First Line untreated CUP patients Number of trial subjects : i) First Cohort: 20 ii) Second Cohort: 57 Eligibility Criteria : The Eligibility Criteria are the same as used in the A trial of chemotherapy for cancer of unknown primary (CUP-ONE) trial in the United Kingdom (UK), please see below. - Histologically confirmation of a diagnosis of CUP, with imaging and all diagnostic investigations confirmed as CUP within a CUP Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-2 - Patients must have disease that is not amenable to potentially curative options such as resection or radical radiotherapy - If patient's disease presentation precludes tumour biopsy (inaccessible or biopsy thought not to be in the patient's best interest), the patient is not study eligible. Estimated recruitment period : 2 years Estimated duration of trial : 3.9 years including set up, recruitment, follow up and close down. Duration of Participation : Cohort 1 = 6-8 months; Cohort 2 = 8-18 months Estimated average length of treatment per patient =6 months
Gastroesophageal varices is a serious complication of compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD). Primary prophylaxis to reduce the risk of variceal haemorrhage is recommended if high-risk varices (HRV) are detected. We performed this study to compare the accuracy, patients' satisfaction and safety of detection of HRV by detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (DS-MCCE) with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) as the standard.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of niraparib in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) compared to AAP and placebo.
