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.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have failed treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and are naïve to tumor necrsos factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) or placebo every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. In Part 2, patients will be randomized to receive RoActemra at either 8 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg IV or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The double-blind treatment period will be followed by open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks until Week 208 for all patients. Anticipated time on study treatment is 208 weeks.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had an inadequate response to previous tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. Patients were randomized to receive tocilizumab at a dose of either 8 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg intravenously (iv) or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The double-blind treatment period was followed by open-label treatment with tocilizumab 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks until Week 104 for all patients. This study and all further clinical development of tocilizumab AS was halted after a review of 12-week data from Study NA22823, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study in TNF antagonist naïve AS patients, failed to demonstrate efficacy.
The objective of this post-marketing study is to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety outcome of treatment with ChondroMimetic in a patient population within the proposed indication (osteochondral cartilage defects), over a 36 months post-implantation follow-up period. The primary objective is to collect post-marketing safety data in a real life setting by means of (S)ADR reporting. The secondary objectives are: - Clinical outcome as assessed by patient reported EuroQoL-5D - Structural repair as assessed by MRI - The number of treatment failures and the time to treatment failure - The ease of use of ChondroMimetic as reported by the surgeon
In this randomized study The investigators aim to compare the growth of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants fed either a high protein or a standard protein preterm infant formula. Babies will be fed the assigned formula between the time they achieve full enteral feeds and hospital discharge, for a minimum of 3 weeks. The weight gain (g/d) will be measured and compared between groups. Feeding tolerance, protein-energy status and body composition between the study groups will also be analysed. After discharge, babies will be fed a post-discharge preterm infant formula (PDF) between hospital discharge and 3 m corrected age.
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether pazopanib hydrochloride is more effective than a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has not progressed after first-line chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well giving pazopanib hydrochloride works and compares it with giving a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have received first-line chemotherapy.
Bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation is used to treat a wide range of life-threatening conditions. T lymphocytes carried in the graft have powerful beneficial effects and play a vital role in the eradication of leukaemia and in fighting infection, but can also damage healthy tissues and cause graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). To safeguard against GVHD, the investigators propose modifying T cells to encode a 'switch' so that they can be eliminated if problems arise. Children receiving half-matched (haploidentical) transplants from a parent are most likely to benefit from this strategy. At present these patients receive blood stem cells from a parent, but the T cells are removed because the risk of serious GVHD is unacceptable. This means that they are much more likely to suffer from life threatening infections or experience a relapse of leukaemia. The investigators want to use gene therapy to produce "safe" T cells which can be used to strengthen the transplant and prevent these serious complications.
A need exists to define the best local anesthetic and technique for pain relief in early labour. We suggest that calculating the molar Median Effective Dose for bupivacaine, levobupivacaine and ropivacaine given both by the intrathecal (as a combined spinal epidural and epidural routes) would provide a valid comparison between the pain relieving properties of all three drugs, from which a reasoned assessment of side effects can be made.
This is a phase 3 randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicenter study that will be conducted in approximately 120 investigational sites worldwide. Subjects with either recurrent or refractory NMIBC (Ta high grade, T1 low or high grade, CIS) will be eligible for participation in this study. Refractory disease is defined as evidence of persistent high grade bladder cancer (Ta HG, T1, and/or CIS) at least 6 months from the start of a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Recurrent disease is defined as reappearance of disease after achieving a tumor-free status by 6 months following a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Subjects with recurrent disease must have recurred within 18 months following the last dose of BCG. Approximately 450 subjects will be randomized. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravesical EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with recurrent or refractory NMIBC. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with BCG recurrent or refractory NMIBC. This study will consist of 4 phases: Screening, Induction, Maintenance and Follow-Up and will be conducted over 3 years.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and biological effect of adoptive transfer of CD19ΞΆ chimaeric receptor transduced donor-derived EBV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (EBV-CTL) in patients with high-risk or relapsed B cell precursor ALL after allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability and the way the body handles various single and multiple doses of ARC19499 in patients with hemophilia.
