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.
The ARTISAN-SNM study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation System as an aid in the treatment of the symptoms of urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) in patients who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, consecutive series, multicentre, observational study to evaluate the clinical outcome of ceramic-on- ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty using the ceramic, non-porous, non-cemented H1 Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty. It includes a safety study followed by an efficacy study. Patients will be followed up for 10-years postoperatively. The primary aim is to confirm the safety of the H1 hip resurfacing prosthesis by demonstrating non-inferiority of the H1 device in terms of survivorship. The secondary is to evaluate superiority of the ceramic-on-ceramic H1 hip resurfacing prosthesis compared to Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip resurfacing in terms of absence of metal ion release.The primary end point is revision for any reason.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of unilateral focused ultrasound pallidotomy using the ExAblate 4000 System in the management of dyskinesia symptoms or motor fluctuations for medication refractory, advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
In summary this trial will test whether this new surgical technique can be used to make surgery safer and more effective whilst allowing improved quality of life for patients having surgery for prostate cancer. If the technique is proven effective the investigators will use the experience gained to promote its use throughout the NHS through training courses and publication and dissemination of the resultant data. Staff from centres participating in this trial will be fully trained in the NeuroSAFE technique. A patient and public involvement afternoon was held for participants of the NeuroSAFE PROOF feasibility study, family members, men with prostate cancer, and staff members at UCLH. The event was supported by the charity Orchid Cancer appeal. The high levels of attendance was demonstrative of the support within our patient group for the work of this trial. The trial team listened to the comments made by participants and members of the public and have made some changes to the design of our trial as a result of this feedback.
Preterm birth (birth before start of the 37th week of gestation) is a major determinant of neonatal morbidity and mortality and has long-term adverse consequences for health and neurodevelopment. Preterm infants have much higher nutrient requirements than term infants. The preferred nutrition for all infants including preterm infants is human milk from the infant's own mother, or alternatively donor human milk, provided it is fortified with several nutrients as human milk alone does not sufficiently meet the nutritional needs of preterm infants. Human milk fortifiers (HMFs) are multicomponent enrichments that can be added to human milk (own mother´s milk or donor milk) to meet the increased nutritional needs of preterm infants. The current Nutricia HMF (control product) has been available in its current composition since 2010. It is a multicomponent HMF providing protein, energy, minerals, and vitamins in accordance with the ESPGHAN recommendations. Recent investigation suggests positive effects on growth and development of preterm infants when lipids are added to their nutrition. Therefore, Nutricia has added lipids to their HMF (test product) for a nutritionally more complete fortification of human milk aiming for optimal growth and optimal cognitive and brain development. The Renoir study will investigate the difference between both HMFs with regards to the growth velocity as well as the safety and tolerance of the new HMF.
The objectives of this study are to confirm safety and performance of the Anatomical Shoulder Domelock System when used in hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.
This is a phase I/II open label multi-center study in which patients will receive low dose targeted busulfan followed by infusion of autologous CD34+ selected bone marrow or mobilized peripheral blood cells transduced with the G2SCID vector. Subjects will be enrolled over 3 years and be followed for 2 years post-infusion on this protocol, then followed long-term on a separate long-term follow-up protocol. Enrollment of subjects will be agreed upon by representatives of both sites. Data will be collected uniformly from both sites through an electronic capture system and key laboratory studies will be centralized. Harvest, cellular manufacturing and infusion will occur at each site using the same SOPs. Key aspects of cellular product characterization will be centralized
Syphilis is an important sexually transmitted infection. There has been an epidemic of syphilis amongst men who have sex with men in the United Kingdom in the last decade. Early infection with syphilis causes a genital ulcer followed, in the absence of treatment, by a generalised illness often accompanied by rash. Studies on the pathogenesis of syphilis have been limited because it is not possible to grow syphilis outside of the body. New approaches using molecular tests allow the immune response of the patient to infection to be measured directly from a swab of a genital ulcer or rash and/or a blood sample and also allow the whole genetic sequence of the bacteria to be obtained from a swab. In this study the investigators will collect swabs from ulcers or rashes and a blood sample from patients with syphilis and measure both the response of the patient immune system and the genetic sequence of the bacteria. Patients will be enrolled at sexual health clinics in the United Kingdom. Patients will receive standard medical care including standard treatment for syphilis in line with national guidelines. Standard management already includes collection of a swab and a blood sample. For this study an additional swab sample and an additional 5ml of blood will be collected for use in this research project. By better understanding host immune system responds to infection with syphilis the studies aims to gain better insights in to the pathogenesis of this important sexually transmitted disease.
The main purpose of the study is to monitor the safety of participant receiving long-term treatment of M6620 as monotherapy or in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel.
A total of 40 participants will be recruited, with 20 participants in each of the following subcategories: A) High grade lymphoma (DLBCL, FL grade 3b, transformed FL) (n=20) B) Low grade lymphoma (e.g. FL grade 1, 2 or 3a, MZL, MCL) (n=20) The main purpose for having two experimental treatment arms is to provide a comparator for the translational endpoints, i.e. to assess whether the differences observed are due to the addition of varlilumab to rituximab. The only difference between Arm A and Arm B is the delay in administration of varlilumab in cycle 1, which is on Day 2 in Arm A and Day 8 in Arm B. As the post-treatment tissue collection occurs on Day 7/8, prior to administration of varlilumab in Arm B, samples will be obtained from participants that have either been treated with rituximab alone, or both rituximab and varlilumab. To minimise any potential risks to the patient as a result of a repeat biopsy on Day 7/8, a prerequisite for entry to the trial is that the participants must have accessible sites for biopsy. Difference in response rates between Arm A and Arm B are not expected.
