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 purpose of this study is to document the feasibility and tolerability of low dose thoracic radiotherapy in patients with WHO level 5 COVID 19 infections.
This study uses a prospective cohort design to investigate if the seasonal influenza vaccine is equally effective when given early and late before the proceeding influenza season. All health care workers will be vaccinated for seasonal influenza either 3 months before or 1 month prior to the start of the influenza season. HCWs that consent to take part in the study will have 4 blood samples taken for an antibody check. The initial antibody checks will be done just prior to vaccination as well as 2 weeks after vaccination. Subsequent samples will be taken at the peak of influenza season and at the end of the influenza season. HCWs that develop ILI during the course of the influenza season will be asked to complete a questionnaire and oropharyngeal self-swab. HCWs will also provide exhaled breath samples and wear a mask in order to evaluate novel non-invasive methods for diagnosis of influenza. Influenza positive and negative inpatients identified through the University of Leicester's laboratory system will also be asked to provide breath samples to evaluate this technique for the diagnosis of influenza.
Study D9181C00001 is a Phase II, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, proof of concept study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of MEDI3506 in adult participants with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma on standard of care (SOC). Up to approximately 80 sites globally will participate in this study. Approximately 228 participants will be randomized to 3 treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive MEDI3506 dose 1, MEDI3506 dose 2, or placebo.
Pleural Infection (PI) is a common, severe and complicated disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. (1,2) The knowledge of pleural infection microbiology remains incomplete. Sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene is a reliable methodology to discover the total microbiome of complex samples. The investigators designed a translational metagenomics study to study the bacteriology of pleural infection. The investigators will use pleural fluid specimens from a) the "Prospective validation of the RAPID clinical risk prediction score in adult patients with pleural infection: the PILOT study" (3) clinical trial and b) non-pleural infection patients. The pleural fluid specimens will be subjected to 16S rRNA next generation sequencing.
This study investigates how clinicians form intuitive judgements about the prognoses of palliative care patients after receiving advice perceived as coming from either a team member or an algorithm.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Olezarsen as compared to placebo on the percent change in fasting triglycerides (TG) from baseline.
The current study seeks to investigate the acceptance of the use of a smartwatch in an internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based intervention for depression.
This is an observational study based on secondary data extracted from multiple register-based data sources in the US and Europe (Sweden, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany). The study will include patients initiating treatment with ticagrelor 60 mg after a myocardial infarction in real-world clinical practice, and describe their patient characteristics and duration of treatment. If the a priori threshold of 5,000 person-years on treatment with ticagrelor 60 mg is met, outcome events (bleeding and cardiovascular events) will also be analysed and described.
