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.
ABACUS is an open-label, international, multi-centre, window of opportunity phase II trial for patients with histologically confirmed (T2-T4a) transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The trial aims to test the efficacy of preoperative MPDL3280A and will include extensive biomarker work on samples from these patients. Eligible patients will receive two 3-weekly cycles of MPDL3280A pre-cystectomy. Following cystectomy, patients will be followed up for safety, survival, and disease data.
This study aims to assess efficacy of Niraparib (GSK3985771) as maintenance treatment in participants with Stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Participants must have completed front-line platinum based regimen with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Data collection for Secondary Outcome measures is ongoing and the approximate duration of the study will be 7 years.
This is a trial of a new way of treating patients with respiratory failure. The investigators propose to deliver a multi-centre clinical trial to determine whether veno-venous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (VV-ECCO2R) and lower tidal volume mechanical ventilation improves outcomes and is cost-effective, in comparison with standard care in patients who are mechanically ventilated for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure
Peripheral arterial disease is a common condition affecting approximately 64% of 56-77 year olds. This condition restricts bloody supply to calf muscles. Pain occurs after walking a short distance and increases in intensity until the person stops, where the pain then gradually subsides. It can be limiting or occasionally debilitating and has been shown to have considerable deleterious effects of patients quality of life. Shock wave therapy has been shown to promote new blood vessel formation and improved healing amongst other findings. This study aims to identify whether shock wave therapy that is applied to the calf muscles causes such an effect to improve the blood supply to the calf muscles, reduce pain, improve walking ability and quality of life.
This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 multicenter dose escalation study in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory extracranial solid tumors (Phase 1), with additional expansion cohorts (Phase 2) in patients with primary brain tumors harboring NTRK1/2/3 or ROS1 gene fusions, and extracranial solid tumors harboring NTRK1/2/3 or ROS1 gene fusions.
Scientists have developed an instrument which works like an "electronic nose". It is able to "sniff" smells and separate different smells by their electronic "signature". Studies using an electronic nose strongly suggest that smelling samples taken from humans (e.g. urine/ stool/ sweat/ tears) can identify different electronic smell signature from people with different diseases and in the future might be a new and easier way to diagnose serious conditions at an earlier stage. In a very small study, it has been successfully shown that using an electronic nose to sniff a stool sample does seem to identify people before they have had any radiotherapy - who will go on to get serious bowel side effects of radiotherapy. If this finding is correct, this is very important as it would allow the cancer doctors the option to change the way they give radiotherapy if they knew that a person was at very high risk of serious side effects from the treatment and to start treatment for the side effects at a much earlier stage. In this study the investigators want to confirm in a larger study whether the previous findings are correct, and to see whether similar results can be obtained by sniffing urine rather than stool (that would be much easier for everyone) and identify exactly which part of the complicated "smell" signature is different in the people who will get side effects. This may lead for the investigators to able to identify why people are making this specific smell and then do something about changing the smell before treatment starts. The likeliest cause for the production of a smell which predisposes to side effects is a specific group of germs living in the bowel. If these germs can be identified, then there are many possible ways of changing these germ populations in advance of radiotherapy. Enormous improvements have been made in treating cancer in recent years leading to hugely improved survival, however, treatment not infrequently can lead to side effects. Of all the possible long term physical side effects of cancer treatment, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are the most common and can have a great impact on daily activity. It is becoming increasingly clear that development of side effects in the bowel is not just related to the dose and way the radiotherapy is delivered.
RADIANCE-HTN is a randomized, double-blind, sham controlled, 2-cohort study (TRIO and SOLO) designed to demonstrate efficacy and document the safety of the Paradise Renal Denervation System in two distinct populations of hypertensive subjects.
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical performance of senofilcon A lens with the stenfilcon A lens each for one week of daily disposable wear.
The study is being done to test the safety of a cancer drug called larotrectinib in children. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer. The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of larotrectinib is safe for children, how the drug is absorbed and changed by their bodies and how well the cancer responds to the drug. The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with larotrectininb.
This is a multi-center, long-term safety and efficacy follow-up study for subjects with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) who have been treated with ex vivo gene therapy drug product in bluebird bio-sponsored parent clinical studies. After completing the parent clinical study (approximately 2 years), eligible subjects will be followed for an additional 13 years for a total of 15 years post-drug product infusion. No investigational drug product will be administered in this study.
