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.
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and metabolic impact of a low energy diet (LED) in people with familial partial lipodystrophy and diabetes. Participants will be provided with a LED (total diet replacement) for 12 weeks, before the introduction of a stepped food transition. Metabolic effects will continue to be assessed for 1 year. In order to better understand why this intervention changes insulin sensitivity, we will also collect adipose and muscle tissue samples at baseline and 12 weeks into the intervention in participants willing to have these procedures performed. These samples will be used for histological, metabolite, gene expression and protein expression analyses.
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study of oral LOXO-292 in pediatric participants with an activating rearranged during transfection (RET) alteration and an advanced solid or primary CNS tumor.
The STELLAR trial will assess the effect of acalabrutinib taken in combination with CHOP-R compared to taking CHOP-R alone in patients with newly diagnosed Richter's Syndrome (RS). It will also be a platform to test other new drugs that show potential for treating RS. Chronic lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is the most common blood cancer in adults, usually in their 70s or older. In a few patients, CLL can transform from a slow-growing cancer into an aggressive lymphoma called Richter's Syndrome. RS is very difficult to treat and patients have a short life-expectancy - usually a few months after diagnosis. Treatment for Richter's Syndrome in the UK is CHOP (four chemotherapy drugs) plus rituximab ('R' - an antibody treatment). The CHOP-R treatment is given as a standard of care for RS but has limited benefit - it is often temporary to extend life. Richter's Syndrome returns in most patients who then die from this disease. The STELLAR trial will investigate if a new drug called acalabrutinib, which is effective used by itself in patients with relapsed CLL and also some with Richter's Syndrome, will improve outcomes for newly diagnosed patients with RS. Acalabrutinib blocks a protein in CLL which can stop the cancer growing. Participants who have Richter's Syndrome and are suitable for CHOP-R will be recruited by specialised hospitals across the UK. People with another cancer, heart problems, or recent stroke cannot take part. Participants will have a lymph node biopsy, 3-4 bone marrow biopsies, blood samples, and PET-CT and CT scans. CHOP-R is given in a hospital every three weeks up to 6 times. All participants will receive CHOP-R; half will also receive acalabrutinib. When treatment with CHOP-R ends the patients who had acalabrutinib can continue to take it; patients who had CHOP-R alone may have acalabrutinib if their Richter's Syndrome returns after CHOP-R.
Main Objective of this study is to examine long-term safety of nivolumab monotherapy including combinations and other cancer therapies in various tumor types.
Prospective single centre study to assess the feasibility of fluid resuscitation guided by macrocirculatory and microcirculation parameters in patients in the early stages of septic shock. The investigators will utilise a novel point of care tool to assess microcirculatory sublingual perfusion in patients with septic shock. This, in combination with conventional haemodynamic monitoring will determine the timing and volume of resuscitative fluid administration. The feasibility of this technique will be determined prior to embarking on a pilot RCT.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether breaking up prolonged sitting with short regular bouts of walking can reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels after eating, which are risk markers for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. This study will compare these responses in normal weight versus overweight/obese South Asian adults.
This is a prospective, randomised, multi-site clinical trial testing the non-inferiority of community optometry follow-up of participants with QnAMD over 12 months
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of death and morbidity due to cardiovascular disease. Much of this is caused by left ventricular disease characterised by abnormal muscle thickness and scaring. This process appears to start early in the course of CKD and causes heart failure and dangerous abnormal heart rhythms. Previous work suggests that the process may be reversible by kidney transplantation but almost all of the studies are small, retrospective and lack scientific rigour. Furthermore, they almost all use echocardiography, which is inaccurate in patients with CKD. The investigators plan to perform the first large, prospective, controlled, blind-analysed study using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether CKD associated cardiomyopathy is reversed by kidney transplantation and if so, whether factors such as blood pressure and mediators of metabolic bone disease/fibrosis are important in effecting this change. Greater understanding of the mechanisms responsible for CKD associated cardiomyopathy could lead to future strategies and treatments to improve the high cardiovascular mortality associated with this condition.
Can BNP be used alongside current risk prediction methods to more accurately identify those at risk of breathlessness and poor quality of life following lung resection?
Primary objective is to assess the anti-tumor activity of single agent odronextamab as measured by the objective response rate (ORR) according to the Lugano Classification of response in malignant lymphoma (Cheson, 2014) and as assessed by independent central review in each of the following B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) subgroups: - In patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) grade 1-3a *1,2 - In patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) *1,2 - In patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has relapsed after or is refractory to a BTK inhibitor. This cohort will also include patients who have relapsed or have disease refractory to prior systemic therapy, or patients who have demonstrated intolerance to BTK inhibitor therapy, and who have progressed after other systemic therapy. - In patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) *1 - In patients with other B-NHL subtypes *1 Secondary objectives are: - To assess the anti-tumor activity of single agent odronextamab in each of 5 disease-specific cohorts, as measured by: - ORR according to the Lugano Classification and as assessed by local investigator evaluation - Complete response (CR) rate according to the Lugano Classification and as assessed local by local investigator evaluation and independent central review - Progression-free survival (PFS)*3 - Overall survival (OS) - Duration of response (DOR)*3 - Disease control rate (DCR)*3 - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of odronextamab - To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of odronextamab - To assess the immunogenicity of odronextamab - To assess the effect of odronextamab on patient reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQL), as measured by the validated instruments European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-Lym), and EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) - 1 that has relapsed after or is refractory to at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy - 2 including an anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent - 3 according to Lugano Classification and as assessed by independent central review and local investigator evaluation
