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 XIENCE 28 USA Study is prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to evaluate safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS and XIENCE Sierra EECSS) of coronary drug-eluting stents.
The study aims to investigate the effect that supplementing the diet with cocoa flavanols has on vasospasm symptoms and temperature regulation in women with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP). Participants will be randomised to consume either high flavanol cocoa extract or low flavanol cocoa (placebo) daily for 3 months.
FreeStyle Libre (FSL2) is a novel glucose monitoring device (Flash glucose monitoring) in the form of a disc worn on the arm for 14 days, and a hand-held reader which is designed to largely replace the recommended 4-10 painful finger-stick blood glucose tests required each day for the self-management of type 1 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether flash glucose monitoring with FSL2 device will improve HbA1c over 24 weeks compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose in adults and adolescents (16 or older) with sub-optimally controlled (HbA1c 7.5% to 11%) type 1 diabetes. This is an open-label, multi-centre, randomised, parallel design study, involving a 2-week run-in period, followed by a 24-week study period during which participants will use either FSL2 or continue usual finger-stick glucose monitoring in random order. A total of up to 156 randomised participants from up to 180 recruited aged 16 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy or multiple daily injection therapy were recruited through diabetes clinics in participating centres. Participants will receive appropriate training to maximise the benefits of FSL2 and finger-stick glucose levels in self-management. The primary outcome is the difference in HbA1c between the two groups at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes are time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by FSL2, and other flash glucose-based metrics. Impact on quality of life, diabetes distress, mood, needle burden, disordered eating and treatment satisfaction will also be undertaken. Relative cost-effectiveness of FSL2 device compared with self-monitoring will also be assessed from a UK NHS perspective.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate comparability of the ORR in patients with previously untreated, advanced stage FL who receive GP2013-treatment to patients who receive MabThera-treatment.
The purpose of this extension study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term dosing of Inclisiran. The study was a global multicenter study.
The LIVER (Local Infiltration Versus Epidural after Liver Resection) and LIVER 2 (Local Infiltration Versus Epidural after Liver Resection 2) studies were randomised controlled trials that compared epidural analgesia with local anaesthetic wound infiltration as post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing open liver resection. The overall findings of this trial were of similar rates of morbidity and pain control post-operatively but a reduced recovery time for the wound catheter group. As a result, wound catheter local anesthetic infiltration has become increasingly utilized in this unit and within other units throughout the country and worldwide. Epidural use has been associated with improved long term outcomes following abdominal cancer surgery. This study is therefore a long term follow up study of the LIVER and LIVER 2 trials to assess survival between the two groups.
Patients attending the rapid access gynaecology clinic with a suspicion of endometrial cancer are understandably nervous. Few studies have quantified anxiety and distress of patients in this group. This study surveys anxiety and stress levels of women attending clinic (by filling in an anonymous questionnaire). Additionally, in women who need a tissue biopsy, women are asked to rate their pain scores.
This study will assess a new device, the RhythmPadBP, which detects heart rhythm and measure blood pressure simply by placing palms of the hands on a pad containing titanium electrodes.
Whipples resection is an operation that has a burden of high morbidity and mortality. It is performed for a variety of disorders of the pancreas, duodenum and ampulla. The most common indication is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma which has a poor long term outcome even when curative surgery has been performed. Short and long term outcomes however, have improved recently and the indications for curative resection have been increasingly extended, including operating on those that previously may have been considered too old to benefit from curative resection. Little is known about the benefit of performing this procedure in the oldest patients. Performing Whipples resection in patients over the age of 70 has been reported and has been shown to result in satisfactory perioperative results with comparable long term outcomes to those under 70. However the benefit of performing the same procedure in the over 80 age group is less well reported and consistently presents a challenging decision for the clinician.
CP (cerebral palsy) refers to a group of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination. CP is caused by damage to or abnormalities inside the developing brain that disrupt the brain's ability to control movement and maintain posture and balance. The signs of CP usually appear in the early months of life, although specific diagnosis may be delayed until the age of 2 years or older. TEV-50717 (deutetrabenazine, also known as SD-809) has already provided evidence for safe and effective use in 2 other hyperkinetic movement disorders, namely chorea in Huntington's disease (HD) and tardive dyskinesia (TD). Currently, there is no approved treatment available for Dyskinesia in cerebral palsy (DCP). The available treatment options address some of the manifestations of DCP. The study population will include pediatric and adolescent participants (6 through 18 years of age) with DCP with predominant choreiform movement disorder, who have had nonprogressive CP symptoms since infancy (≤2 years of age). Diagnosis of DCP is based on the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe criteria. This is a Phase 3 study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TEV-50717 administered as oral tablets at a starting dose of 6 mg once daily in participants (age 6 through 18 years, inclusive) with DCP with predominant choreiform movement disorder. The study will be conducted in multiple centers and will use 2 parallel treatment groups (ie, TEV-50717 and placebo) in which participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio. "Predominant" in this instance indicates that the choreiform movement disorder is the main cause of impairment or distress.
