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.
Autoimmune encephalitis is brain inflammation caused by the immune system mistakenly reacting against proteins in the brain. The commonest form is called NMDAR-antibody encephalitis (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody encephalitis), a rare condition which mainly affects children and young people and causes difficulties in memory, thinking and mental health which can have significant long-term impacts on education, employment and quality of life. In this project we will use advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure changes in the structure, function and chemistry of the brains of children and young people who are in early recovery from NMDAR-antibody encephalitis and other forms of immune-mediated encephalitis. We will investigate if MRI measurements in patients differ from those in healthy people, and if they can help predict patient outcome one year later, assessed by tests of memory, thinking, mental health and functioning in daily life.
This is an 18-month, multicenter, randomized, active-control, parallel-group Phase 3 study, in which participants will be randomized to venglustat versus standard of care therapy (agalsidase alfa, agalsidase beta, or migalastat) to evaluate the effect of venglustat on left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in adult participants with Fabry disease and left ventricular hypertrophy. - Study visits will take place approximately every 3 to 6 months - Participants who complete the randomized period may continue to the long-term extension (LTE) to receive venglustat for up to additional 34 months with the total study duration up to 4.4 years maximum.
To assess if biomarkers can be used to predict early treatment related neurotoxicity in patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) and to inform development of novel interventions.
Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) is a prevalent and debilitating condition in otherwise healthy younger patients, resulting in significant loss of quality of life, lacking effective treatment options or systematic clinical evidence to support a therapy. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a hybrid sinus node sparing ablation procedure for the treatment of symptomatic drug refractory or drug intolerant IST.
Despite the high volumes, advanced minimally invasive surgery is non-standardised and variations often occur in surgical technique, performance, delivery, team communication, and surgical approach. Such variations can result in errors and complications that can potentially be avoided. This project aims to analyse surgical phases (stage of the operation), skill and errors to anonymised, surgical video data through Medtronic's Touch Surgery™ Enterprise DS1 Computer which can capture video data anonymously in any minimally invasive (key hole) procedure in the operating room, allowing immediate, upload of data to a platform for immediate feedback and assessment to surgeons. The investigators hypothesise that understanding technical performance and surgical processes, may reduce unwarranted variations, errors and near misses, and improve the performance of the entire surgical team that is ultimately hoped to enhance patient safety and outcomes. Investigators plan to develop assessment tools with the hope to improve feedback, learning and ultimately surgeons' performances. The latest methodology of manual (OCHRA) and automated assessment (artificial intelligence) will be applied. Investigators aim to validate these methods by correlating video "scores" of skill/errors to patient outcomes e.g. complications, cancer outcome.
The overall objective of this research is to understand the PHC landscape in conflict-affected settings including choice of PHC delivery models and quality interventions used by humanitarian organisations
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the UK and worldwide with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) being one of the most important modifiable risk factors. Physical activity is inexpensive and research shows that it consistently improves high density lipoprotein and triglyceride concentrations. However, fails to improve LDL-C concentrations. Preliminary research suggests fasted exercise could potentially improve LDL-C concentrations. The majority of research in these areas have also mostly been done in males with the results generalised to females. As it is known that lipid metabolism and CVD risk is different between sexes it is possible that the response to fasted exercise may also be different between sexes. This aim of this study is to assess the effect of physical activity performed before or after a meal on plasma LDL-C concentrations in men and women and explore sex differences. The study will also assess the effect of fasted exercise on other CVD risk factors.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, translational Phase 1/2 dose-escalation and expansion study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RSO-021 after intrapleural (IP) administration in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) (non-mesothelioma) and MPE from mesothelioma.
The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (e.g., 3D motion capture, wearable technology) in order to validate the DANU Sports Socks. The investigators aim to recruit 40 recreational runners (male and female) from the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between gold-standard traditional assessment methods and more novel wearable technology methods. Following assessment of the validity and reliability of the DANU Sports Socks, the investigators will use the multi-modal sensor to quantify changes in running gait that may occur with injury, fatigue or performance level will permit quantification of running demands in a runner's natural environment, thereby providing insight into injury mechanisms and objective explanations for performance outcomes.
This is a first time in-human (FTIH) study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of GSK4381562 in participants with select loco-regionally recurrent solid tumors or metastatic solid tumors where curative or standard treatment options have been exhausted.
