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.
There is ample evidence that regular exercise can reduce MS specific symptoms and improve health and wellbeing in people with MS. However, for people with MS to engage in exercise activities long term, it is important that they are offered a range of exercise opportunities that are safe, feasible and potentially effective to reduce MS symptom. This will allow people to select an activity they enjoy, is adapted to their needs and thus are more sustainable long-term. Frame Running (FR) provides an opportunity for people with walking and balance problems to walk or run safely without the risk of falling. The frame consists of three wheels and has a saddle and handlebars like a trike without pedals. The proposed mixed methods study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of FR as a sustainable aerobic exercise option for people with MS and the feasibility of conducting a future definite trial into the impact of FR on functional mobility, fatigue, cardiorespiratory function and psychosocial outcomes. People who experience problems with their walking and/or balance will be eligible to take part in this study which consists of a 12 weekly group FR training sessions led by a qualified coach. FR training attendance, recruitment, retention, outcome measure completion and adverse events will be recorded and the participant views on the feasibility, acceptability and impact of FR will be explored through the use of focus groups. Physical function, physical activity and psychosocial outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks.
Raynaud's phenomenon and digital ulceration are two of the most common disease manifestations leading to digital and/or toe pain in systemic sclerosis (SSc). In addition to pain, fatigue has been identified as a key stressor and the most prevalent and debilitating symptom of SSc. Both, affect significantly quality of life (QoL) domains. Pharmacological therapeutic strategies have not been proved sufficiently effective in the management of SSc-induced pain and fatigue. Evidently the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy) is limited, although for some of them (i.e., exercise) evidence is promising. As yet, the effects of a feasible, long-term, tailored exercise programme on pain and fatigue in people with SSc have not been explored. Therefore, the investigators propose a multicentre (n=5) research clinical trial to assess the effect of a previously established, supervised 12-week combined (aerobic and resistance training) exercise programme on pain and fatigue. The 26-month study will recruit 180 people with SSc that will be allocated randomly to two groups. Group A will perform the exercise programme parallel to standard care and Group B will receive the standard care alone. All participants will be followed for 24-weeks. Results will inform clinical practice and may improve QoL for people with SSc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of QEL-001 in the prevention of liver transplant rejection following immunosuppression withdrawal. QEL-001 is a product made from a patients own cells, which are genetically modified and designed to help the transplant recipient's body accept their donated liver and prevent their immune system from rejecting it once immune suppression is withdrawn.
The aim is to invite 1,000 patients with symptoms triggering the lung cancer diagnostic pathway or with significant risks of lung cancer, referred to The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust (RMH) referral centres (Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, Croydon University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) over a 1 year period, to complete a life style questionnaire, document lung function tests and to donate a blood sample for storage with a view to testing for a genetic signature and other biomarkers in future studies from this established biobank.
ACTEMRA (tocilizumab) is an IL-6 receptor antagonist used for the treatment of adult Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as Polyarticular (PJIA) and Systemic (SJIA) Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. In this Phase II, the drug will be used to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with recurrent Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma including patients who have undergone surgery and/or radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose and multiple doses of ALN-APP administered by intrathecal (IT) injection in adult patients with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD). Maximum treatment duration for Part A: single dose. Maximum treatment duration for Part B: 12 months.
EVIDENT's aim is to test if ex vivo drug screening can predict whether patients with solid cancers will respond, or not respond, to standard care treatments. Patients undergoing standard care surgery to excise their tumour, those undergoing a biopsy, or those having a fluid aspirate of a solid tumour with surplus tissue available after diagnostic use will be eligible for this study. The specimen will then be assessed with ex vivo drug screening utilising all standard therapies and therapies that are more novel and in early stages of development. The results of the ex vivo drug screen will be compared to the cancer's actual response to standard care treatments for those that undergo therapy to determine how effective the test is at predicting treatment response.
Retrospective und prospective registry on HIV-associated lymphoma. Data on characteristics, type and toxicity of treatment and outcome of patients with HIV-lymphoma will be collected.
The aim of the present study is to test the effect of ingesting a multi-ingredient pre- exercise supplement containing caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine and L-Citrulline compared to a placebo, on endurance exercise performance.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Iptacopan to prevent conversion of early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eyes to new incomplete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA) or late AMD.
