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.
Certain research and innovation projects require an assessment of the adhesive properties of adhesives, which cannot be established from in-vitro testing. The most valuable data for assessments of this type comes from adhesion and wear time studies involving application to living human skin on volunteers. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and performance of an enhanced one piece drainable pouch with a mouldable skin barrier wafer in a group of subjects with an ileostomy.
This trial will investigate the relationship of sleep, daytime performance and nocturia in patients treated with Desmopressin or placebo. Male and Female patients will be administered Desmopressin or Placebo every day for 3 months.
The study will use a randomised controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a combined intervention of Triple P-Positive Parenting Program Discussion Groups and Stress Control in comparison to a waitlist condition. The combined intervention will be evaluated with parents in Glasgow, United Kingdom, with a 3-8 year old child.
The most appropriate initial oxygen concentration for the resuscitation of the extremely low birth weight infant has not been established using large well designed, randomized, blinded, prospective trials and the level of oxygen utilized by practitioners in this situation is highly variable. This proposed trial will use targeted oxygen saturation levels over the first 15 to 20 minutes of life to compare a low and a higher initial oxygen level for the resuscitation of such infants, and will be large enough to evaluate short term outcomes of survival without oxygen at 36 weeks and survival without retinopathy of prematurity, and the long term outcome of survival without significant neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years of age. Such information is urgently required to provide an evidence basis for the initial oxygen concentration for resuscitation of these very preterm infants.
The treatment of the multisystem autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains a challenge, particularly when there is renal involvement (lupus nephritis). For the last 60 years corticosteroids have been the backbone of the treatment of lupus nephritis but they are associated with significant toxicity. Although randomized placebo controlled trials of Rituximab in non-renal lupus and lupus nephritis did not meet their primary end-points, there is accumulating data that suggests that B cell depletion with Rituximab may be efficacious in lupus disease refractory to conventional therapy. Furthermore, our pilot data suggests that the addition of Rituximab to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) without oral steroids is at least as effective at inducing a renal response as the standard of care therapy comprising MMF and high dose oral corticosteroids. RITUXILUP is a proof of concept, open labeled, randomized, controlled, multicentre trial that aims to demonstrate whether the addition of Rituximab to MMF therapy is useful in treating a new flare of lupus nephritis and whether it has a long lasting steroid-sparing, beneficial effect with equal efficacy and greater safety than a conventional regimen of MMF and oral prednisolone. If successful, this trial has the potential to dramatically change the management of lupus nephritis.
Phase 3, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral pacritinib compared to Best Available Therapy (BAT) in patients with primary or secondary myelofibrosis.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of simtuzumab (GS-6624) in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the True Human Monoclonal antibody Xilonix (MABp1) can prolong the life of colorectal carcinoma patients that are refractory to standard therapy.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ELND005 treatment with up to 36 weeks exposure, in Moderate to Severe AD patients with agitation and aggression.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the treatment effect of sarilumab and methotrexate (MTX) compared to etanercept and methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to adalimumab and methotrexate by evaluation of the Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS28). Secondary Objectives: To assess the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients taking sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX). To assess the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) taking sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX). To assess the safety and tolerability of sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
