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.
A clinical trial of adeno-associated virus vector (AAV) CNGA3 retinal gene therapy for patients with achromatopsia
The PAN-cancer Early Detection study or PAN-study is a prospective cross-sectional observational case-control study evaluating whether Breath Biopsy can differentiate between patients with and without different cancer types by comparing breath biomarkers for a range of cancer types including patients with gastric, oesophageal, and liver cancer. The research may be extended to include also pancreatic, renal, prostate and bladder cancer patients, however in agreement between Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, University of Cambridge, CRUK and Owlstone Medical recruitment in these arms will not start until further notice. When recruitment is planned to start in these arms, Owlstone Medical will ensure to notify the REC. Subjects with a histologically confirmed cancer will be recruited from CUH by local research staff. Breath samples will be collected by means of the ReCIVA breath sampler which requires tidal breathing into a face mask for around 10 minutes. A cancer free control subject matched for age, sex and tumour specific risk factors will be recruited and sampled.
This is a study investigating the effect of MEDI7352 on chronic pain in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. The study incudes a screening period of up to 45 days and a 12-week treatment period during which MEDI7352 or placebo will be administered intravenously (IV) on 6 occasions, with each dose separated by 14 days. There will be a 6-week follow-up period. Subjects will randomly be assigned to double-blind treatment with one of 4 dose levels of MEDI7352 or placebo
The purpose of this first in human study is to assess safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetic (PK) and preliminary clinical activity and to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Doses (MTD(s))/ Recommended Phase 2 Doses (RP2D(s)) of S65487 as single agent administered intravenously (i.v.) in adult patients with refractory or relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), Multiple Myeloma (MM) or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
The primary purpose of the study is to characterize the current standard of care, clinical course, and outcomes of pregnant women and their offspring at high risk for early onset severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (EOS-HDFN).
The purpose of this research study is to investigate if KY1005 results in improvement of eczema when given to participants with moderate to severe disease. Side effects of KY1005 will also be explored.
Amblyopia is treated by glasses and patches or blurring eyedrops to the good eye. This works in about 70% of children, but parents and children strongly dislike these treatments which may carry on for years and involve frequent clinic visits. In this pilot trial, 66 children will receive, at random, either a Nintendo 3DSXL console with movies, or standard patching/blurring eye-drop treatment. The Investigators will monitor adverse events (double vision), change in the balance between the two eyes and in visual acuity over 16 weeks.
To provide an initial test of the hypothesis that dopamine mediates the motivational salience of stimuli beyond simple stimulus-reinforcement associations, the researchers propose to undertake a study of the modulation of a) levels of agreement or disagreement with; b) the perceived self- relevance; and c) the perceived interest of propositions expressing beliefs and values in healthy male volunteers using Ii) a dopamine antagonist (the D2-blocker haloperidol), and (ii) a dopamine precursor L-Dopa to increase CNS dopamine transmission. The researchers will also administer the Salience Attribution Task (SAT) which will allow researchers to assess reward-learning processing of simple stimuli using a reaction-time game. This task was utilised by Roiser et al in order to explore whether delusions in medicated patients with schizophrenia were related to impairments in associative learning. The authors hypothesised that associative learning was influenced by D2 receptor blockade. The researchers extend this approach to examine the effect of dopamine modulation on the SAT as a measure of associative learning, a basic neuropsychological process that may be involved in the attribution of salience to beliefs. Finally, the researchers will ask participants to perform a within-subjects dictator game to understand the influence of dopaminergic manipulation of the live attribution of harm intention to partners. The task has been previously validated online. Participants will play against 3 partners in a random order in each drug condition. Each partner will play the participant for 6 trials. One partner will always be fair, one will always be unfair, and one will be 50% unfair. We aim to understand whether potentiating dopamine has an additive effect on the harm intention attributions toward partners, regardless of the behaviour of the partner.
This study aims to test the use of novel CT image analysis techniques to enable a better characterisation of small pulmonary nodules. The study will incorporate solid and predominantly solid nodules of 5-15 mm scanned using a variety of scanner types, imaging protocols and patient populations. The investigators hope that the new image processing techniques will improve the accuracy of lung nodule analysis which will in turn reduce the number of unnecessary investigations for benign nodules and may increase the accuracy of the early diagnosis of lung cancer in malignant nodules. This study aims to test this novel analysis software to subsequently allow validation.
Randomised trials are considered the gold standard in medical research. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) Statement aims to improve the quality of reporting of randomised trials. Without transparent reporting, readers cannot judge the reliability and validity of trial findings, and therefore these findings cannot inform clinical practice. Different stakeholders, including biomedical journals, have taken different actions to try to improve author adherence to CONSORT. The most popular action among biomedical journals is to instruct authors to submit a completed RG checklist with page numbers indicating where the CONSORT items are addressed when they submit their manuscript. However, this measure alone has been proven not to be effective. In this study, the investigators intend to evaluate in a real editorial context whether assessing during peer review the consistency between the submitted CONSORT checklist and the information reported in the manuscripts of randomised trials, as well as to provide feedback to authors on the inconsistencies found, improves the completeness of reporting of published trials.
