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 aim of this study is to reduce fasting circulating BCAA concentrations in volunteers using Sodium Phenylbutyrate. In addition, we aim investigate the effect of BCAA lowering on fasting blood glucose levels, insulin sensitivity measures and muscle metabolism.
This study will evaluate the safety, PK, and efficacy of AT 1501 in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
The GPS Registry is a multi-centre, single-arm, non-interventional (observational) registry. In addition to collecting data from patients treated as per standard clinical practice, the Registry will also regularly collect telemetric Home Blood Pressure (HBP) measurements and Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) data via a standardized quality of life questionnaire. The objective of the GPS Registry is to document the long-term safety and effectiveness of the commercially available Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation System when used per its labelling in patients deemed to be candidates for RDN as per physician's assessment.
Midwall septal fibrosis (MSF) is a common structural abnormality in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Its presence is believed to increase the risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA), but the mechanism of arrhythmogenicity is not known. This is particularly relevant in DCM patients with MSF and mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as they do not currently fulfil criteria for a primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) insertion. Access to the epicardium for electrical measurements of the heart can enhance the understanding of arrhythmogenicity in DCM, however direct epicardial access is invasive. Instead, the investigators will non-invasively combine high resolution 256-lead ECG imaging (ECGI) and latest generation cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to study the hearts of 60 DCM patients with and without MSF regardless of LVEF, and 60 matched healthy volunteers. The investigators recently invented the re-usable and CMR-safe SMART-ECGI vest technology for this purpose. Using supercomputers, the investigators will fuse the collected ECGI/CMR data and run electromechanical simulations of whole-heart activation to non-invasively measure each participant's personalised risk of malignant VA induction. By panoramically mapping the DCM heart in a single beat, the investigators aim to elucidate how MSF perturbs the cardiac activation front and how this could lead to life-threatening VA. This has the potential to change the method by which cardiologists risk stratify patients with DCM.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of vibrational spectroscopic techniques, Raman spectroscopy and Attenuated Total Reflection - Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), to accurately differentiate endometrial tissue, lymph nodes and blood samples with womb cancer or endometrial hyperplasia from healthy controls.
A prospective observational cohort study investigating physiological parameters vs biological markers of whole blood in septic and non-septic pregnant woman to predict systemic immune health
Primary objective of this study is to compare fracture related infection (FRI) rates of ZNN Bactiguard Tibia to conventional uncoated titanium-alloy nails 12 months after tibia fracture fixation. The secondary objectives are confirmation of safety, performance and clinical benefits of ZNN Bactiguard implant and related instrumentation12 months after fracture fixation.
This study is conducted to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe. Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits. Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become the standard of care for large vessel occlusion in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). During clot-retrieval, simultaneous balloon inflation within the internal carotid artery offers transient proximal blood flow arrest, potentially preventing distal clot migration or embolisation to new vascular territories. Retrospective studies indicate that this may improve complete vessel recanalisation rates and may translate to improved functional independence. However, lack of high-quality evidence demonstrating the efficacy of simultaneous balloon inflation has led to clinical equipoise with heterogeneity of practice globally.
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a rare, rapidly progressing, genetic, neurodegenerative disease for which no definitive treatment options and limited information on the natural history of the disease are available. The structural, genetic, and neuropathophysiological abnormalities of ALSP lead to the onset of neurologic symptoms, such as moderate to severe motor and neuropsychiatric impairments. This natural history study will collect data to contribute to the development of future novel therapies that focus on the neuropathophysiological features that underlie ALSP and that are essential to reverse, delay, or stop progression of this debilitating disorder.
