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.
Approximately 30 sites that enrolled participants in the MAVERICK-HCM (MYK-461-006) study in the United States (US) will initiate this study. Approximately 90 sites that enrolled participants in the EXPLORER-HCM (MYK-461-005) study in the US, Europe, and Israel will initiate this study. Note: Approximately 30 centers overlap between MAVERICK and EXPLORER.
This trial is to investigate the use of nivolumab in sequence with standard of care surgery and radiation/chemoradiation in locally advanced oral cavity Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.
In patients with a limited oligometastatic burden (cancer has spread but is not yet considered metastatic), emerging evidence suggests that treatment of all sites of disease with ablative therapies can improve patient outcomes, including overall- and progression-free survival. The application of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) for patients with 4-10 metastatic deposits appears promising, yet it is unclear if all patients with greater than 3 oligometastatic lesions benefit from ablative therapies in terms of improved Overall Survival (OS), Progression Free Survival (PFS), or quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of SABR, compared to standard of care treatment, on overall survival, oncologic outcomes, and quality of life in patients with a controlled primary tumor and 4-10 metastatic lesions.
This trial aims to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sodium valproate in the treatment of patients with Wolfram syndrome. 70 paediatric and adult patients were initially planned to be randomised 2:1 to receive either sodium valproate or placebo at 6 international centres. 63 patients were recruited when a decision was made to stop the study recruitment in November 2022.
This study will look into the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in reducing chronic neuropathic pain in patients who have not had previous spinal surgery. This will be assessed by comparing the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire responses before and after the SCS intervention. We will also investigate the effect of HD frequency parameters on the improvement of quality of life, sleep and any adverse events following the spinal cord stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3745) versus lenvatinib in combination with placebo as first-line therapy for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in adult participants. The primary hypotheses of this study are that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is superior to lenvatinib plus placebo with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
This study will evaluate intrapleural administration of Adenovirus-Delivered Interferon Alpha-2b (rAd-IFN) in combination with Celecoxib and Gemcitabine in patients with histologically confirmed Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) who have failed a minimum of 1 treatment regimen and a maximum of 2 treatment regimens, 1 of which must have been an anti-folate and platinum combination regimen. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to either: 1. Treatment group: rAd-IFN + Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine 2. Control group: Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine Patients randomized to the treatment group will receive rAd-IFN administered into the pleural space via an Intrapleural catheter (IPC) or similar intrapleural device on study Day 1. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) associated with rAd IFN, when administered with celecoxib and gemcitabine, versus that associated with celecoxib and gemcitabine alone for the treatment of patients with MPM
A study to learn about safety and find out maximum tolerable dose of palbociclib given in combination with chemotherapy (temozolomide with irinotecan or topotecan with cyclophosphamide) in children, adolescents and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (phase 1). Neuroblastoma tumor specific cohort to further evaluate antitumor activity of palbociclib in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma. Phase 2 to learn about the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide when compared with irinotecan and temozolomide alone in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (EWS).
This study is looking at whether older people could benefit from an online monitoring platform to support their individual ambitions to maintain or improve functional ability. It is hypothesized this will enable the individual to monitor themselves periodically, obtain feedback about their functional ability, receive recommended diet, exercise and physical activity interventions and record the adherence to any intervention. All information can be linked back to the health care professional for official support and intervene when a decline is noticed, in order to prevent frailty from developing. The aim of this study is to find out if providing more support and greater empowerment can help older people improve their functional ability by self-monitoring and personalised interventions.
Crohn's disease affects 200,000 people in the UK (~1 in 500), most are young (diagnosed < 35 years) with costs of direct medical care exceeding £500 million. Crohn's disease is caused by an auto-immune response and affects any part of the digestive tract, most commonly the last segment of the small bowel (the terminal ileum). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a role in 3 areas: Crohn's disease diagnosis , monitoring treatment response & assessing development of complications. To evaluate the small bowel using MRI, Radiologists visually examine the scan slice-by-slice. The interpretation is time consuming and error-prone because of disease presentation variability and differentiation of diseased segments from collapsed segments. Deep learning for image analysis is based on a computer algorithm "learning" from human (Radiologist) generated training data. This method has been successfully applied to medical imaging, for example computer detection of lung cancer on chest X-rays. This pilot study investigates if a deep learning algorithm can identify and score segments of inflamed terminal ileum affected by Crohn's disease. To our knowledge this is the first project attempting to develop such an algorithm.The study will retrospectively review MR images obtained as part of standard care from patients being investigated for, Crohn's or being followed up with Crohn's disease. 226 patients' images will be used for the study. On fully anonymised images two Radiologists working at Northwick Park Hospital will score and outline normal and abnormal loops of terminal ileum. Imperial College computer science department will then develop a deep learning algorithm from imaging features of normal and abnormal loops. The study end-point is algorithm performance vs. images labelled by Radiologists. The eventual aim is to develop an algorithm that assists Radiologists in the accurate diagnosis and follow-up of patients with Crohn's disease.
