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.
The purpose of the study is to determine if pre-operative neuropsychological characteristics, apolipoprotein E4 status and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum biomarkers can predict those most at risk of post-operative delirium. Patients over the age of 65 years undergoing elective primary hip or knee arthroplasty in Musgrave Park Hospital are invited to take part. Participants undergo a pre-operative neuropsychological assessment which is repeated 6-12 weeks post-operatively at the time of surgical review appointment. At the time of surgery advantage is taken of the necessary venous cannulation and spinal anaesthetic to gain venous blood and CSF samples respectively. Venous blood is also sampled post-operatively. Patients are assessed daily for delirium, using the Confusion Assessment Method, until discharge. The association between delirium and subsequent cognitive decline is now well established in the literature. It is not yet clear whether this is solely because delirium following elective surgery indicates a previously unrecognised neurodegenerative process or whether the delirium itself exerts an additional pathophysiological insult. In order to investigate this, a follow-up study of these participants, approximately 8 years later is currently being conducted. Neuropsychological assessment and venous blood sampling will be repeated with consenting participants. Furthermore, the significance of subtle symptoms, not sufficient to fulfil the criteria for delirium and known as subsyndromal delirium, in relation to cognitive function years later will be analysed.
To assess the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 versus a standard of care epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with locally advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
To assess the early histological outcomes of tissue ablation, adverse events and genitourinary side-effect profile of focal radiofrequency ablation using a coiled bipolar device to treat localized prostate cancer in men with clinically significant prostate cancer.
This study has two parts with distinct study objectives and study design. In part A, odronextamab is studied as an intravenous (IV) administration with a dose escalation and a dose expansion phase for B-NHL and CLL. The dose escalation phase for B-NHL and the CLL study are closed at the time of protocol amendment 17. In part B, odronextamab is studied as a subcutaneous (SC) administration with a dose finding and a dose expansion phase for B-NHL.
Current guidelines for the clinical management of hypertension in adults recommend to achieve and maintain blood pressure levels of <140/90 mmHg. However, it is uncertain what proportion of individuals identified with high blood pressure in primary care actually reach blood pressure control, what factors are associated with attainment of control and to what extent blood pressure control attainment is associated with cardiovascular diseases in a contemporary population of individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which patients achieve blood pressure control and associated risk factors, time to attainment of blood pressure control and whether this time is associated with an increased risk of CVD onset, all-cause and cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease.
This study aims to investigate the effect of early CTCA in patients with suspected or confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) or Medical Assessment Unit (MAU), upon interventions, event rates and health care costs in a pragmatic clinical trial and economic evaluation up to 1 year after the trial intervention. The primary objective will be to investigate the effect of the intervention on all-cause death or subsequent type 1 or type 4b MI at one year, measured as time to first such event.
The main objectives of Part 1 are as follows: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BG00012 in pediatric subjects with RRMS, as compared with a disease-modifying treatment and to assess health outcomes and evolution of disability. The primary objective of Part 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety of BG00012 in subjects who completed Week 96 in Part 1 of Study 109MS306. The secondary objective of Part 2 is to describe the long-term MS outcomes of BG00012 in subjects who completed Week 96 in Part 1 of Study 109MS306.
To combine Brentuximab Vedotin with Dexamethasone, AraC and Cisplatin (DHAP) chemotherapy in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) refractory to first line chemotherapy or in first relapse is expected to induce a significantly higher (metabolic) complete remission (CR) rate prior to consolidation with BEAM, as judged by FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose)-PET negativity. This will be compared with published data on DHAP salvage only. Increasing the metabolic CR rate prior to consolidation with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is expected to improve progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
This study will be a two-arms study intending to demonstrate superiority of NexoBrid treatment over SOC in children with thermal burns. The study objective is to evaluate the safety and clinical benefit of NexoBrid in hospitalized children (0-17 years) with deep partial and/or full thickness thermal burns of 1-30% TBSA and to compare NexoBrid to standard of care (SOC).
