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 investigators know that many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) require support to remain physically active and often do not receive any or enough support. This is particularly the case for People with Progressive MS (PwPMS) with moderate to severe disability - those who require assistance to mobilise (i.e. using a stick, frame or wheelchair) and/or have other MS related symptoms such as fatigue and difficulties remembering. In Phase 1 of the LEAP-MS study the investigators collected information about the barriers to and facilitators of physical activity (PA) that PwPMS experience, their current levels and type of physical activity and their perceptions of the role physical activity plays in managing MS symptoms from both them and their families - or people that support them. This provided important information about why physical activity might be important for PwPMS, the challenges they face in doing physical activity or accessing it, and ways which they have found to overcome any barriers. The investigators also collected information from physiotherapists and other health care professionals who specialise in treating people with MS, about their understanding of self-management and their needs for training about using self-management approaches with PwPMS. The investigators used this information to co-produce (with the involvement of PwPMS patients and physiotherapists/healthcare professionals) a personalised intervention; Life-style, exercise and activity package for people living with progressive multiple sclerosis (LEAP-MS) to facilitate on-going physical activity for people with PwPMS and a training package about self-management with PwPMS for physiotherapists. In this feasibility study the investigators will evaluate the acceptability of the LEAP-MS intervention. The investigators will also evaluate feasibility of conducting a future trial of the intervention in terms of recruitment, retention, adherence (usage), outcome measures and safety evaluation and establishing fidelity of intervention delivery.
Germline mutation in e-cadherin gene (CDH1) is found in approximately 25% to 30% of individuals fulfilling the clinical criteria for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). Prophylactic gastrectomy is the mainstay of the management of cases with pathogenetic CDH1 mutation. However, some individuals refuse gastrectomy and prefer to delay it for medical or psychosocial reasons. For these patients as well as for those in which a pathogenetic mutation is not found, endoscopic surveillance is recommended. The suggested endoscopic protocol involves targeted as well as 30 random biopsies, which is tedious and time-consuming . In order to save time, two specimens can be taken during a single passage of the biopsy forceps ("double-bite" technique). The aim of this study was to determine the adequacy and utility of the "double-bite" technique in patients undergoing surveillance for HDGC as compared to the standard "single-bite technique".
The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 and to compare the serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) across 3 different lots of V114. The primary hypothesis is that all 3 lots of V114 are equivalent as measured by the serotype-specific OPA GMTs for 15 serotypes in V114 at 30 days postvaccination.
The interplay between diet and the gut microbiota has been implicated in the onset of cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiota displays diurnal rhythms, which may be influenced by meal timing. This study aimed to investigate the effect of main meal consumption timing on the microbiota and the cardiometabolic factors of the host using a cross-over RCT in healthy adults The main outcome measurements will be: a) changes in gut microbiota composition based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics, b) changes in bacterial functional capacity) and urinary/faecal metabolomics, c) changes in targeted bacterial metabolites, d)Inflammatory markers The aim of this study is to explore the effect of the timing of main meal consumption on gut microbiota and immune response in healthy adults.
The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, AZD5718, for the potential treatment of cardiovascular disease. The study is an open-label, single dose study involving 6 healthy male subjects. The volunteers will receive a single dose of 200 mg radiolabelled AZD5718 (14C-AZD5718 Oral Suspension) containing not more than 9.9 MBq of radiocarbon. Volunteers will attend the clinic for 9 days (Day -1 to Day 8) to receive a single dose of the test medicine. It is planned that the volunteers will be discharged as a group once all volunteers have reached the discharge criteria. This may result in the subjects being discharged as a group prior to completion of the planned residency period. If the discharge criteria are not met by volunteers by Day 8, the individual volunteers who have not met the criteria will remain in the clinical unit for a further 48 h (until Day 10). A follow-up call will take place 7 to 10 days after discharge to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of volunteers.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a reduction in intravascular hemolysis by REGN3918 over 26 weeks of treatment in patients with active PNH who are treatment-naive to complement inhibitor therapy or have not recently received complement inhibitor therapy. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN3918. - To evaluate the effect of REGN3918 on parameters of intravascular hemolysis - To assess the concentrations of total REGN3918 in serum. - To evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies to REGN3918 over time - To evaluate the effect of REGN3918 on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) measuring fatigue and health-related quality of life
This study evaluates the impact of a high phenolic acid intake from wholegrain wheat bread on human vascular function and plasma phenolic acid concentrations in healthy adults. All participants received a high fibre flatbread with enzymatically released free FA (14.22 mg), an equivalent standard high fibre bread (2.34 mg), or a white bread control (0.48 mg).
This study aims to investigate if the Connecting People (CP) Programme can be implemented by social care practitioners with high fidelity in community mental health teams (CMHTs) and improve the resourcefulness of social networks of people with mental health problems.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
