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 evaluates the combination of bavituximab and pembrolizumab in the treatment of gastric and gastroesphogeal cancer. All patients will receive both bavituximab, a drug that is not yet approved by the FDA, and pembrolizumab known as Keytruda. There is no expanded access program available for the investigational agents per this protocol.
This study will characterize patients with ischemic stroke, a condition which occurs when a vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed, and a subpopulation of patients with irregular and often rapid heart rate (atrial fibrillation) in a UK general population using The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database. The main aim of the study is to estimate in how many patients atrial fibrillation was diagnosed at the moment of stroke and to describe whether these patients received OAC at the time of the stroke. In addition, researchers want to learn about the relative risk of ischemic stroke when such patients did not continue OAC treatment.
This is a Phase 1, two-part, open-label, single centre, single arm study in healthy male subjects to investigate the oral PK, intravenous (IV) PK, mass balance, bioavailability and metabolites profiling and identification of derazantinib.
This study aims to gather information to what extent patients follow the treatment regimen of low-dose aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Researcher will collect information about the percentage of time a patient has access to the medication, how long patients continue with the medication and of the proportion of patients who switch from dual-antiplatelet therapy (including low-dose aspirin) to a single antiplatelet therapy. The study will make use of secondary healthcare data sources converted in to Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model within the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) network.
Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults and has an extremely poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to quantify the degree of early step fatty acid oxidation in gliomas as imaged by 18F-FPIA PET/MRI in 10 evaluable patients. The Investigators hypothesise that FPIA uptake will be higher in high-grade gliomas compared to lower grade gliomas, in keeping with a higher propensity of high grade tumours to generate ATP and NADPH via fatty acid oxidation under bioenergetic stress.
Microvascular angina (MVA) is caused by abnormalities of the small vessels in the heart. Endothelin is a small chemical that circulates and accumulates in the blood vessel walls, causing them to narrow or go into spasm and thicken in the longer term especially as levels of endothelin increase. As a result, patients experience pain, psychological burden and an inability to carry out daily activities. Originally developed by AstraZeneca for cancer treatment, prior research has confirmed that Zibotentan relaxes the small blood vessels of patients with MVA which lends support to the idea that Zibotentan may bring some benefits to patients with MVA. This trial therefore proposes to look into re-purposing zibotentan as a new treatment for patients with MVA. The primary objective is to assess the effect of add-on treatment with Zibotentan to treadmill exercise times in adult patients with MVA and impaired exercise intolerance. Zibotentan could provide a new treatment pathway for patients, as well as be made available to the NHS at substantially lower cost than the currently used medications. The trial aims to initially invite approx. 356 participants for genetic testing. A minimum of 100 participants will go forward into the main study, receiving either 10mg zibotentan or a dummy matched tablet (placebo) daily over two 12 weeks periods of each, completing their final visit at week 34. The study assessments will involve a health check at each visit, including information on the patient's wellbeing, blood tests, some quality of life questionnaires, and an exercise test. Participants will also have the option to consent to additional sub-study cardiovascular MRI scanning. Finally, participants will be invited to provide consent for long-term follow-up (maximum 20 years) of their electronic medical records (no additional patient contact).
A number of studies have reported the presence of polyphenolic compounds in artichokes, being the most abundant the caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), which are esters between quinic acid and the hydroxycinnamate caffeic acid. The fate of artichoke polyphenols in humans after ingestion is currently unknown. The acute study will provide novel information on the bioavailability and metabolism of artichoke polyphenols, which will give important insights to understand the potential health benefits of artichoke consumption. Health men and women participants (n=8) aged between 18 to 40 years old will be recruited. Participants will consume a normal ration of artichokes once. The participants will provide the investigators with urine and blood samples for polyphenol analysis at baseline and at different time points until 24 hours.
Which technique is best for partial hip replacement?
This is a single center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, three-period cross-over study in healthy participants. The aim of this study is to provide clinically relevant information on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of a new lower dose formulation ambrisentan (AMB) tablet, which is intended for pediatric use. The study will compare the relative bioavailability of the lower dose tablet, dispersed in water and administered orally, with the reference marketed AMB tablet in healthy adults. The total study duration for each participant is expected to be approximately 9 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to test how well patients with advanced solid tumors respond to treatment with elimusertib (BAY1895344) in combination with pembrolizumab. In addition researchers want to find for patients the optimal dose of elimusertib in combination with pembrolizumab, how the drug is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and discharges the drug. The study medication, elimusertib, works by blocking a substance (ATR Kinase) which is produced by the body and is important for the growth of tumor cells. Pembrolizumab is an immunologic checkpoint blocker that promotes an immune response against the tumor.
