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.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of take-home naloxone (THN) to reverse opioid overdose when administered by lay persons in a real world setting. This multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study will be conducted across Europe using a mixed method approach. Recruiting 6000 individuals to whom a supply of THN has been provided, for n=600 to witness an opioid overdose. The co-primary outcomes are to determine the rate of administration of naloxone and frequency of deaths in the 24 hours subsequent to the administration of naloxone. This will be captured through structured interviews with those who report witnessing an opioid overdose in the 6 month study period, approximately n=600, to elicit further information on the overdose and any naloxone administered. Naloxone training materials and education provided will be examined through questions in the structured interview. In-depth qualitative interviews will also be conducted with 60 participants who have witnessed an overdose, in order to better understand the use, safety and effectiveness of different naloxone products (particularly Nyxoid). As part of the qualitative analysis, interview transcripts will be assessed by an expert clinician panel for accuracy of diagnosis, actions taken and aftercare. Routine data from national health registers will be used to gather mortality data. This study will report on the use of different formulations of naloxone. In addition, this study serves as a Post Authorisation Efficacy Study (PAES) for the intranasal (IN) naloxone, Nyxoid developed by MundiPharma and focuses on drug safety and training.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, multiple subcutaneous injection, safety and efficacy study of PF-06835375 in adult participants with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This study will focus on participants with persistent (>3 months and ≤12 months), or chronic (>12 months) ITP
Background: An assessment by paediatric neurologists specializing in demyelinating conditions brought attention to the rapid weight change seen among patients recently diagnosed with, and receiving therapy for, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). An overview of the current literature pinpointed weight change as a concern, and identified fatigue and fear as limiting factors for participation in physical activity, with BMI trajectories in this population significantly higher compared to healthy peers. A look at current patient data highlighted extreme NMOSD cases where some patients' weight doubled in two years. There is currently no available research that addresses weight change and management in paediatric MS or NMOSD patients, but there is research to highlight the importance of maintaining health behaviours. The aim of this research is to co-develop a comprehensive lifestyle weight management program for this cohort. Methods: Unpinned by the Medical Research Council guidance for developing complex interventions, this research will involve a fourfold approach. It will build on a previously completed systematic review, and a secondary data analysis of current clinical data regarding weight changes in these populations. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with patients, parents and clinicians in order to obtain qualitative data regarding the collective perspectives of nutrition, weight change and overall health. A list of factors will be identified and presented in a logic model. A program will then be designed, informed by previously gathered information and will be reviewed by a group of stakeholders via stakeholder meetings. This will output a program design, implementation and evaluation plan which will then be evaluated for feasibility. Recruitment, participation, implementation and adherence to the program will be tested. A patient, public involvement (PPI) approach will be taken, with a PPI panel of experts overseeing and guiding the project for its duration. Results: The results of this research will output a primary version of the lifestyle weight management program for paediatric patients with demyelinating conditions, ready for a feasibility trial.
The Trep-AB clinical trial will test the efficacy of an investigational neuropenetrative drug, Linezolid (LZD), compared to standard treatment, Benzathine penicillin G (BPG), for early syphilis in humans. The overarching idea of the work proposed herein is to investigate the use of LZD to treat syphilis, conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate this new indication of a known antibacterial agent.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether percutaneous PFO closure with the Occlutech Flex II PFO Occluder is non-inferior to the AMPLATZERâ„¢ PFO Occluder and Gore® Cardioform Septal Occluder in closure of the PFO, prevention of recurrent embolic stroke, and device/procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE).
Chronic pain is a common long-term condition that can affect any area throughout the body. Individuals suffering with chronic pain often have associated fatigue, sleep and mood disturbances. Current treatments for chronic pain include a variety of both medicine-based approaches and non-medical approaches such as exercise and psychology treatments. Patients often take a combination of medications such as antidepressants and strong medications like morphine - which are not always effective, and often associated with several troublesome side effects. Despite physical activity being a common and helpful treatment, evidence shows that patients with chronic pain can find it difficult to engage for a variety of reasons. It would be helpful to see if other non-medication based approaches will be an acceptable treatment to those suffering with chronic pain. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy describes a safe, non-invasive low-energy light therapy that has been successful in treating a variety of chronic pain conditions. Cells absorb light to produce a series of reactions that culminate in pain relief, reduced inflammation, and tissue repair. Most studies examining effects of PBM have consisted of a small hand-held probe focused on specific painful areas. There are a cohort of chronic pain conditions that encompass widespread throughout the back, neck and joints, such as fibromyalgia (FM). Whole-body PBM therapy is able to treat a large area of the body in a short space of time. The main purpose of the study is to determine feasibility, with a view to guiding a definitive Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT), in terms of: feasibility of eligibility criteria, recruitment rates, acceptability of trial device in the chronic pain population, and acceptability of outcome measures.
Subjects will be assigned to a active cream or vehicle to compare the cosmetic effects. This will take place over a 12 week period.
