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.
To determine the effects of 2 months therapy with simvastatin 40mg once per day compared to placebo in a double-blind placebo-controlled study of patients with COPD.
The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy and safety of three concentrations of topical methotrexate for the treatment of fingernail psoriasis.
The main purpose of this study is to look for genetic and environmental risk factors of cervical artery dissections, a major cause of ischemic stroke in young adults, in a large multicenter case-control trial
This trial will investigate whether four doses of RN1001 (20ng, 50ng, 100ng and 200ng) are efficacious in preventing or reducing the resultant scar, as compared to placebo, when applied intradermally to wound margins following excision of benign naevi situated on the head and neck.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without panitumumab in treating patients with colon cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial assessing whether preoperative chemotherapy and/or an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody improve outcome in high risk operable colon cancer.
1. This is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, post market study, which will be conducted under a common protocol. 2. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate long-term efficacy of the AMS Pelvic Floor Repair System devices for prolapse repair. 3. The study population is female subjects > 21 years of age who require surgical reconstruction of their pelvic floor due to prolapse. 4. The clinical data will be analyzed by comparing post-treatment data with the baseline data, with the subject acting as her own control.The follow-up is for two years after the procedure. 5. Prolapse improvement measured by ICS POP-Q Stage at 12-months will be the primary endpoint of the study. The secondary endpoints include quality of life changes from baseline and adverse event rates.
RATIONALE: Radical prostatectomy is surgery to remove the entire prostate. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Sometimes the tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, active surveillance may be sufficient. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for localized prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying active surveillance to see how well it works compared with radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving temozolomide during and/or after radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating anaplastic glioma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving temozolomide during and/or after radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with anaplastic glioma.
The primary objective is to demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide (HMR1726) (14 milligram per day [mg/day] and 7 mg/day), in comparison to placebo, for reducing conversion of participants presenting with their first clinical episode consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS) to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS). The secondary objectives are: - To demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on: - Reducing conversion to definite multiple sclerosis (DMS) - Reducing annualized relapse rate (ARR) - Reducing disease activity/progression as measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Reducing accumulation of disability for at least 12 weeks as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) - Proportion of disability-free participants as assessed by the EDSS - Reducing participant-reported fatigue - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of teriflunomide - Optional pharmacogenomic testing aimed at assessing the association between the main enzyme systems of teriflunomide metabolism and hepatic safety, and other potential associations between gene variations and clinical outcomes
The patients will receive either Pasireotide LAR or Octreotide LAR for one year of treatment. The objective of this study is to compare the proportion of patients with a reduction of mean GH level to <2.5 µg/L and the normalization of IGF-1 to within normal limits (age and sex related) between the two treatment groups (pasireotide LAR and octreotide LAR) at 12 months. Following one year of treatment patients may proceed into the study extension. Patients who did not respond to the treatment they were randomized to (based on month 12 assessment results) will be switched to the other treatment arm at month 13.
