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.
To establish baseline prospective efficacy data of current FIX prophylaxis replacement therapy in the usual care setting of hemophilia B subjects, who are negative for nAb to AAV-Spark100, prior to the Phase 3 gene therapy study. To establish baseline prospective efficacy data of current FVIII prophylaxis replacement therapy in the usual care setting of hemophilia A subjects, who are negative for nAb to AAV6, prior to the Phase 3 gene therapy study. The enrollment for hemophilia A participants is completed. At this time participants are only being enrolled for hemophilia B cohort.
The current trial will explore the feasibility of a larger efficacy trial to test a newly developed form of online CBT called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (which we have called "ACT OPEN") for people with HIV and painful peripheral neuropathy. Participants will be recruited from HIV clinics in London, UK. Participants will be randomly chosen to receive the new ACT OPEN treatment right away or after waiting for 5 months. The treatment lasts for 8 weeks. Participants will complete self-report questionnaires to assess pain, functioning, and mood at the beginning of the study and 8 weeks and five months later.
Patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain (ACP) possibly due to Coronary artery disease (CAD), with a normal heart tracing (ECG), need to have further troponin blood tests to confirm or exclude a heart attack. After initial troponin testing, a significant 50-85% of patients are said to be in an "observational zone" as one cannot confirm or exclude a diagnosis of a heart attack. Even after repeat blood testing, 22-33% remain in this "observational zone". These patients can be challenging to manage as they are not safe to be discharged home, but they also cannot be treated as a heart attack. This contributes to ED overcrowding and uncertainty in treatment plans.
Spinal cord stimulation by means of an electrode in the back is used to treat patients with persistent chronic pain after back surgery. Based on the stimulation patterns, there are mainly three different technologies available - conventional, burst frequency and the high frequency. It is known that the traditional frequency works through the lateral system of pain pathways in the spinal cord to cause pain reduction. Electroencephalographic(tracing of brain activity) recording of patients using burst have shown an additional effect on an adjacent medial pain pathway which decreases the attention to pain. We want to therefore find out if high frequency stimulation also has an effect on the same pathways. 20 patients who have persistent neuropathic chronic pain after previous spinal surgery, would be eligible to have this treatment as part of their normal care. They will be randomly chosen to undergo a 2 week cycle of high frequency and 2 weeks of burst stimulation. We will record EEG's, pain scores and scores measuring attention to pain and compare findings. All patients will be recruited at the Leeds Pain and Neuromodulaton centre and the EEg analysis will be done by a research team based in Belgium. We hope that the study will improve our understanding of how different stimuation waveforms used for spinal cord stimulation work. We hope to have recruited all 20 patients in a 12 month period.
This is an open-label, single arm, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of avapritinib (BLU-285) in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with aggressive SM (ASM), SM with associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL)
To evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of asciminib 40mg+imatinib or asciminib 60mg+imatinib versus continued imatinib and versus nilotinib versus asciminib 80mg in pre-treated patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP)
Diffusion-weighted Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WB-MRI) is a new technique that builds on existing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology. It uses the movement of water molecules in human tissue to define with great accuracy cancerous cells from normal cells. Using this technique the investigators can much more accurately define the spread and rate of cancer growth. This information is vital in the selection of patients' treatment pathways. WB-MRI images are obtained for the entire body in a single scan. Unlike other imaging techniques such as computed Tomography (CT) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) PET/CT there is no radiation exposure. Despite the considerable advantages that this new technique brings, including "at a glance" assessment of the extent of disease status, WB-MRI requires a significant increase in the time required to interpret one scan. This is because one whole body scan typically comprises several thousand images. Machine learning (ML) is a computer technique in which computers can be 'trained' to rapidly pin-point sites of disease and thus aid the radiologist's expert interpretation. If, as the investigators believe, this technique will help the radiologist to interpret scans of patients with myeloma more accurately and quickly, it could be more widely adopted by the NHS and benefit patient care. The investigators will conduct a three-phase research plan in which ML software will be developed and tested with the aim of achieving more rapid and accurate interpretation of WB-MRI scans in myeloma patients.
This study is the largest supermarket trial internationally and will assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of improving the placement of fresh fruit and vegetables in discount supermarkets in improving the fresh fruit and vegetable purchasing of women aged 18-45 years.
Open Label Extension Study of Voxelotor Clinical Trial Participants with Sickle Cell Disease Who Participated in Voxelotor Clinical Trials
Protein is vital for the preservation of health and optimal adaptation to training. However, animal proteins come with economic and environmental issues. The study will investigate the effect of non-animal vs animal based habitual protein consumption on muscle protein metabolism and changes in muscle mass and function over a longer period of time.
