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 main theme of this study focuses on providing evidence of the impact of antenatal physical activity on maternal/foetal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and maternal cardiovascular adaptations during the early postpartum period.
This clinical study will test the effects of a drug called apremilast in oligoarticular psoriatic arthritis with less than 5 years of disease duration. In previous studies, apremilast has been shown to be safe and efficacious in reducing signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, as well as improving physical function. This study will compare the effects of apremilast to placebo on psoriatic arthritis subjects in which the number of affected joints is limited (greater than 1 but less or equal to 4). About 285 patients worldwide will take part in this study.
P-DQIP is an intervention to improve prescribing safety in primary care. The 'intervention' is a health board quality improvement programme that will be implemented across all practices in one National Health Service (NHS) board in Scotland (Tayside), and comprises the following components: i. Case finding of patients with drug therapy risks via the P-DQIP informatics tool ii. Decision support for clinicians when conducting medication reviews via the P-DQIP informatics tool iii. Support from practice pharmacists in reviewing and managing targeted patients iv. Ongoing performance feedback via the P-DQIP informatics tool v. Promotion of the P-DQIP tool and intervention among general practices. The P-DQIP intervention will be evaluated in all NHS Tayside practices who agree to share their data for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
This protocol has been designed for a collection of urine samples from volunteers who will be given high dose biotin supplements over a period of 5 days, in order to provide a research sample bank to examine for biotin excretion rates
This pivotal, phase 3 study is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of setmelanotide, a potent melanocortin receptor type 4 (MC4R) agonist, for the treatment of obesity and hyperphagia in participants with Bardet Biedl syndrome (BBS) or Alström syndrome (AS). The study's primary efficacy endpoint is to evaluate the proportion of participants (≥ 12 years of age at baseline) who lose ≥ 10% of their baseline body weight following approximately (~) 52 weeks of treatment with setmelanotide compared to a historical control rate.
In this study researchers want to gain more information on treatment patterns of patients treated with Xarelto in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Both drugs reduce the risk of blood clots via different pathways. The study will enroll adult patients suffering from coronary artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the heart with blood) or peripheral artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the legs or head with blood). The study will focus on information on when and why physicians are starting to treat patients with Xarelto in addition to ASA, treatment duration, reasons to discontinue treatment and previous therapies. The study will also look into treatment outcomes for patients being treated with a combination of Xarelto and ASA by their physicians.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB104 in participants with CIAS, using the Working Memory Domain of the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIIB104 in participants with CIAS, and to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB104 in participants with CIAS on measures of cognition, functioning, and psychiatric symptomology.
The aim of this study is to build on previous published work, which has indicated lumbar mobilisations have the ability to increase hamstring extensibility and decrease muscle activity. The primary aim of this project is investigate if lumbar mobilisations have an affect on the Nordic Hamstring exercise. Aim: To investigate the short-term effects L4 and L5 Unilateral Posterior Anterior (UPA) Mobilisations on the lumbar spine on the Nordic Hamstring Exercise. Measures will include hamstring peak torque, sEMG activity and knee angle at first rapid change in angular acceleration.
The incidence of secondary cancer (SC) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is high and comparable to that of thrombosis. However, the identification of patient subgroups that might be at increased susceptibility of developing SC has not been systematically addressed. This international case-control study (MPN-K) is aimed to elucidate the prognostic role of JAK2V617F mutation in predicting the occurrence of SC in patients with classical MPN, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF)
During an outbreak of monkeypox in the UK in 2018, a third generation smallpox vaccine, Imvanex, was used for the first time to immunise healthcare workers who had been, or were expected to be, in contact with cases of monkeypox. This study will examine the antibody responses in these healthcare workers compared to control groups, to provide evidence that the vaccine can produce a response consistent with protection when used in this context.
