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 purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and docetaxel in the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC but have progressed on or are intolerant to Next Generation Hormonal Agent (NHA). There are two primary study hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Overall Survival (OS). Hypothesis 2: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review.
This is a double-blind, two period, two treatment crossover trial of ondansetron verses placebo studying the effects of ondansetron in the small and large bowel, specifically its effects on the amount of water in the gut, measured by MRI.
The study to evaluate M7824 monotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) who failed or were intolerant to first-line (1L) chemotherapy.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial in subjects with IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) investigating the efficacy and safety of GB0139.
Radical radiotherapy to the prostate is conventionally treated with a full bladder with the aim of minimising dose to the bladder and small bowel to prevent significant side effects. Tolerance of the bladder filling protocol varies depending on patients' baseline urinary function. It is not uncommon for some men to have "accidents" during treatment causing understandable distress. This can also extend the treatment time and cause knock on delays in the radiotherapy department. Several United Kingdom (UK) centres report treating with an empty bladder. The investigators carried out a feasibility study comparing treatment with full bladder to empty bladder to ascertain if the investigators can safely change our protocol to that of an empty bladder.
The overall aim of this project is to establish potential benefits of a novel lifestyle (physical activity and dietary nitrate) and pharmacological (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor) interventions in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease with a broad spectrum of disease severity. Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor reduces death, hospitalisation, and may improve cardiac function and exercise tolerance in heart failure. Exercise training is associated with a significant increase in exercise tolerance, but appear to have limited effect on measures of cardiac morphology or function in patients with HCM. Dietary supplementation with inorganic nitrate (i.e. concentrated nitrate-rich beetroot juice) improves exercise capacity, vasodilatation and cardiac output reserves while reduces arterial wave reflections, which are linked to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and remodelling. Using a five-centre, open label, three-arm, pilot design, the present study will evaluate the effect of lifestyle (physical activity and dietary supplementation with inorganic nitrate) and pharmacological (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril / valsartan) interventions in patients with HCM. The Aim is to examine whether these interventions improve functional capacity, clinical phenotypic characteristics, and quality of life in patients with HCM.
In a collaborative project between University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust and the University of Southampton, the investigators have developed a wearable, mobile, non invasive, low-cost, continuous respiratory rate monitor device called a capaciflector. This study will be the first ever study undertaken to attempt to measure the respiratory rate and heart rate on patients using a capaciflector. Investigators will evaluate whether the correlation between the capaciflector's measurements of respiratory rate and heart rate when compared with the gold standard pneumotachometer and electrocardiogram respectively is high enough to promote its potential future use within a device for clinical practice.
The study is an open-label, two cohort non-randomized study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of LNP023 in patients with C3G (Cohort A) and patients who have undergone kidney transplant and have C3G recurrence (Cohort B).
Many people using computers or digital devices (e.g., smartphones or tablets) experience eyestrain and this has been called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain. Spectacle lens manufacturers have designed products to alleviate the symptoms of CVS. One such product, designed by Hoya (SYNC III), aims to do this by providing accommodative support. The present study is a parallel group double-masked RCT of people with CVS. One group will receive Hoya SYNC III lenses and the other (control) group single vision (SV) lenses. The main aims are to evaluate whether: 1. binocular vision and accommodative functions at baseline can predict participants who benefit from SYNC III design lenses; 2. the wearing of SYNC III design lenses is associated with any changes in binocular and accommodative functions at 6 months of follow-up; 3. the wearing of lenses with accommodative support reduce the symptoms of computer vision syndrome at 3 and 6 months of follow-up. Participants will be examined three times: at baseline and three and six months after receiving their lenses. The group who receive control lenses will be provided with SYNC III lenses at the end of the six month trial for a brief one week follow-up evaluation.
This is an open label randomized 24 week crossover trial assessing the treatment burden of a weekly growth hormone injection regimen (somatrogon) compared to a daily growth hormone injection regimen (Genotropin). Approximately 90 children with growth hormone deficiency who have been stable on treatment with daily Genotropin will be enrolled.
