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.
Best management of suspected large for gestational age (LGA) fetuses is unclear. In some hospitals women with an LGA fetus by customised growth charts are are offered earlier induction. This study aimed to examine scan accuracy for this group and the outcome with intervention.
The principal hypothesis is to be tested in this work is that vision stability (the primary outcome measure) with a spherical contact lens correction vs. a toric contact lens correction will be the same.
The sustainability of the United Kingdom's National Health Service's (NHS) is threatened immediately by Covid-19 and continually by an increasing prevalence of long-conditions that cannot be cured but can be maintained. Shifting traditional face-to-face outpatient appointments to remote video consultations may help the NHS continue to serve patients efficiently. While much research has examined healthcare providers' attitudes and beliefs about remote video consultations, less has attempted to understand how NHS service providers should invite patients to attend them. The present study examines how the framing of an invitation to attend a hospital outpatient appointment by video influences the proportion of people who agree to attend by video. It also explores some of the barriers and facilitators people may experience to attending appointments by video across diagnostic complexities and age groups. The results of this study should help hospitals better present patients with the option to attend video consultations where appropriate, and provide support to mitigate common barriers to people's willingness to give video consultations a go.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ensifentrine in patients with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
This study is a single-centre, interventional randomised controlled trial. Participants will be individually randomised to receive either COMPASS online CBT + "usual care" (standard LTC charity support), or usual care only. Randomisation will be stratified by recruiting charity site to ensure a balance of participants with different LTCs across the intervention and control arm. Randomisation will occur using a 1:1 allocation ratio managed by RECAP software. Participants randomised to COMPASS will receive access to the online program. It consists of 11 online modules which target challenges associated with living with LTC(s) and includes, amongst other things, psycho-education, patient examples, interactive tasks and goal setting. Participants are linked to a therapist; 'guide', who will provide 6 x 30 minute support sessions delivered fortnightly in the format preferred by the client (phone and/or in-site message). Participants allocated to the usual care control arm will receive the usual care that is available to them via their charity. All charities include a helpline which can be accessed via telephone or email. The helplines at all charities offer one-off emotional and/or informational support provided by people trained in active listening and/or counselling skills. Additional support avenues that can be accessed may include online support groups, local community support groups and informational resources.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-centre, study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of REN001 administered once daily over a 24-week period to patients with PMM.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess humoral immune responses of 3 dose levels of Ad26.COV2.S administered intramuscularly (IM) as a 2-dose schedule (56 days apart); Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a single vaccination; safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a 2-dose or a single-dose schedule in adults (18-65 years or older) and to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S, administered IM as single dose in adolescents (12-17 years) and to test both compressed and expanded 2-dose schedules of Ad26.COV2.S (28 and 84 days apart) in adults (18-55 years and 65 years or older).
Lung cancer is a common cancer, associated with a high mortality rate. Pleural effusions are common in lung cancer, developing in up to 40% of patients. Ascites is common in patients with abdominal malignancies and can be the presenting feature in up to 50% of patients. There is a need for new techniques to improve our diagnostic ability of cancer. FTIR technology could enable a point-of-care test that would provide an initial diagnosis that may determine a change in treatment at the time of the investigation.
To examine whether variation in 'risk-taking' personality and linked genetic variants predicts susceptibility to, and resilience against, stress-induced alcohol misuse.
This trial is a multi-centre, open-label, single-arm phase 2 trial investigating the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of C21 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
