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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (prevention of thromboembolic events) and safety (major bleeding) of adding oral anticoagulation (OAC) to background antiplatelet therapy in patients who develop new-onset post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. All patients with a qualifying POAF event, who decline randomization, will be offered the option of enrollment in a parallel registry that captures their baseline risk profile and their treatment strategy in terms of anticoagulants or antiplatelets received. These patients will also be asked to fill out a brief decliner survey.
This is a study to investigate the efficacy and safety of ADP-A2M4 in HLA-A*02 eligible and MAGE-A4 positive subjects with metastatic or inoperable (advanced) Synovial Sarcoma (Cohort 1, 2 and 3 ) or MRCLS (Cohort 1) .
EMBO-PMS is a prospective, multicentre, registry study of the IMPEDE and IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug Systems
Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are potent teratogens associated with a spectrum of physical and neurodevelopmental anomalies to the exposed fetus. Particular risks include congenital malformations, impaired motor and cognitive functioning, autism and poorer educational attainment. Fetal exposure to drugs that bind to central nervous system targets as part of their therapeutic effect (e.g. neurotransmitter receptors and neuronal channels) appear to alter brain structure and function in both animal models and humans. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging offers an approach to investigate these effects in vivo, identifying biomarkers, defining the onset of abnormalities and dose response. Fetal MRI may offer risk stratification and identify patients that may benefit from intervention early in development. The overall aim of this study is to contribute to improving developmental outcomes following the inevitable exposure during treatment of maternal epilepsy. This novel study aims to explore the central nervous system with state-of-the-art non-invasive multimodal magnetic resonance imaging consistent with the University of Nottingham Precision Imaging Beacon, so as to improve outcomes in patients at risk of long term complex neuropsychiatric conditions.
This two-part study will include a dose escalation part to determine the recommended dose for expansion of DS8201a and pembrolizumab and a dose expansion part to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination.
This INITIATE study evaluates the use of high-intensity interval training as a treatment modality for patients with intermittent claudication - an ambulatory leg pain caused by narrowed arteries that supply the lower limbs. It is an observational cohort study considering HIIT as a treatment for intermittent claudication, consisting of two workstreams. Workstream 1: an initial observational cohort study to consider the feasibility of the intervention and exclusion criteria. Workstream 2: a proof of concept study utilising the altered intervention and exclusion criteria following recommendations highlighted during workstream 1.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of chronic heart rhythm disease worldwide, with significant associated co-morbidities. Although there have been advances in understanding the mechanisms of AF, the underlying cause of AF and factors which perpetuate it remain incompletely understood. This is particularly the case for persistent AF (persAF). Drug treatments for persAF have a role but can have undesirable side effects with relatively limited efficacy. Furthermore, current invasive therapies for persAF remain suboptimal, requiring significant resources, and with potentially serious complications for patients. Catheter ablation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal AF. For persistent AF (persAF), however, catheter ablation does not provide similar results. This is because there remains a poor understanding of the electrophysiological mechanisms driving persAF. Part of this study aims to further explore the specific locations that represent important substrates which would guide more effective catheter ablation. There have been several different ablation approaches explored in the past (see below), however, these did not improve the outcome post procedure compared with pulmonary vein isolation alone. A pilot study has already been carried out and I aim to expand this further with a larger cohort of patients (10-20) over 2 years. In this study the investigators want to explore whether stable high dominant frequency (HDF) sites (with a high organisation index) act as potential drivers of Atrial Fibrillation. Thus, targeting these sites may results in prolongation of the cycle length and thus possible termination of the arrhythmia.
Ref: Protocol v9.0, dated 7Nov2023. NOUS-209-01 is a multicenter, open-label, multiple cohorts, clinical study, designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity, and to detect any preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of Nous-209 genetic polyvalent vaccine plus pembrolizumab combination therapy in adult subjects with unresectable or metastatic deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or MSI-H CRC, gastric, or gastro-esophageal junction (G-E junction) tumors. Nous-209 is based on a heterologous prime/boost regimen composed of the Great Ape Adenovirus GAd20-209-FSP used for priming and Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara MVA-209-FSP used for boosting. The Phase I portion of the study is a first-in-human (FIH) clinical study with a primary objective to elucidate the safety and tolerability of Nous-209 in addition to establishing the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), whereas the Phase II was introduced to assess efficacy as the primary objective.
Owing to the rarity, severity, speed of progression and fatal prognosis of infantile and juvenile GM1, there is a limited understanding of overall disease progression and meaningful outcome measures. This study aims to build a natural history data set through collection of a number of clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessments that may be specific predictors of GM1 disease progression and clinical outcome. Having a GM1 natural history data set can inform potential efficacy endpoints and biomarkers for future clinical trials. This natural history study will follow up to 40 subjects diagnosed with GM1 gangliosidosis (up to 20 infantile (Type 1) and 20 late infantile/juvenile (Type 2)) for up to 3 years. Visits will be conducted every 6 months, during which several procedures will be performed and the data recorded in order to learn about the natural course of the disease, including changes in clinical and neurological assessments and electrophysiologic, imaging and biofluid biomarkers. Study procedures include: physical & neurological exam, blood & urine sample collection, questionnaires & assessments of development, seizure diary, ECHO, ECG, x-ray and ultrasound (if MRI not performed), EEG and genetic testing (if not already done). The following procedures are subject to local/institutional policies and the medical discretion of the Study Physician: MRI, lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and General anesthesia/sedation (for MRI and LP).
The Study aims to investigate whether there is a clinically important difference in peri-articular bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) between patients undergoing two different types of knee replacement fixation - uncemented Tritanium total knee replacement (TKR) and cemented Triathlon TKR. Before undertaking a full randomised control trial however, it is necessary to establish that the proposed methodology and approach are feasible. Therefore an internal pilot study will be performed first. This registration is for the internal pilot study.
