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.
An open-label, non-randomised, uncontrolled, proof-of-concept study of eight patients with 'definite' HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Eligible patients will have either early disease (of less than 2 years duration) or progressive disease (with observed clinical deterioration during the preceding 3 months. Following 2 baseline assessments including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord and a lumbar puncture for examination of the fluid around the brain (CSF) participants will be treated with a total of 7 infusions of the anti-TNF-alpha antibody infliximab over a period of 48 weeks. After the last on therapy assessment at 48 weeks participants will be followed up for a further 24 weeks. Study assessments will be clinical, virological, immunological and radiological. MRIs of the spinal cord will be obtained at weeks 12 and 72. CSF will be examined, on therapy, at week 12.
The underlying biology of the various patterns of metastasis observed in different tumour types remains unclear. The detection and characterization of circulating tumour cells in cancer patients has provided important new information about the progression of metastatic events. This information has important implications for cancer prognosis and therapy. This multicenter open-label study is designed as a two-stage three-outcome phase II trial. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily dose of Lapatinib in advanced breast cancer patients with HER-2 non-amplified primary tumours and HER-2 or EGFR positive circulating tumour cells. Evaluation of HER-2 and EGFR status on circulating tumour cells will be performed by the means of the CellSearch equipment (Immunicon, Huntingdon Valley, PA, USA) and FISH method (PathVysion Kit -Abbott Laboratories).
Evaluation of ADX10059 to prevent migraine attacks
This is a multi-center, open-label study of sitaxsentan sodium 100 mg taken orally once daily by subjects with PAH until sitaxsentan, in a particular country or region, is commercially available for the treatment of PAH or the study is closed.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the UK, leading to 34 000 deaths each year (22% of cancer deaths). Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common histology, accounting for approximately 80% of cases and most present with advanced, stage IIIb or IV disease. The recommended treatment for advanced disease is a doublet platinum-based chemotherapy, although the survival benefits are modest. Even among those fit enough for chemotherapy, the response rate is only 20-40%, and median survival averages 9-10 months with the newer platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen (Schiller et al, 2002; Rudd et al, 2005; Lee et al, 2007). Only 11% of patients went on to survive 2 years when treated with the newer gemcitabine/carboplatin regimen established by the London Lung Cancer Group (Rudd et al, 2005; Lee et al, 2007). New strategies are needed to further improve the prognosis of this disease.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label, multicenter study in subjects with previously untreated CLL. It is designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab (FCR) and lumiliximab versus FCR alone.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of neramexane mesylate in the treatment of congenital idiopathic nystagmus (CIN). In addition, a subgroup of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients suffering from acquired nystagmus will be included.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the benefit of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2132231A in preventing disease relapse when given to melanoma patients, after surgical removal of their tumor. This Protocol Posting has been updated following Amendments 1 of the Protocol, March 2010. The impacted sections are outcome measures and entry criteria.
The purpose of the study is to determine if topically applied nitric oxide gas is effective in reducing the quantity of bacteria (including MRSA)in a wound.
This study evaluates the use of the standard treatment R-CHOP plus the anti-VEGF drug, bevacizumab and whether this treatment is feasible in patients with stage II, III and IV diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
