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 study to look at the effect MEDI0382 has on blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes and kidney problems and also to check that MEDI0382 is well tolerated.
Primary Objective: To characterize the frequency of bleeding episodes (BE) while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to the frequency of bleeding episodes while receiving factor concentrate or bypassing agent (BPA) prophylaxis. Secondary Objectives: - To characterize the following while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to receiving factor or BPA prophylaxis: - the frequency of spontaneous bleeding episodes - the frequency of joint bleeding episodes - health related quality of life (HRQOL) in participants greater than or equal to (>=) 17 years of age - To characterize the frequency of bleeding episodes during the onset and treatment periods in participants receiving fitusiran. - To characterize the safety and tolerability of fitusiran. - To characterize the annualized weight-adjusted consumption of factor/BPA while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to receiving factor or BPA prophylaxis.
The amount of people with diabetes has now reached over 4 million in the United Kingdom. Type 2 Diabetes accounts for the majority of all cases of diabetes and increases the risk of many other diseases, such as heart disease. Research has shown that individuals from South Asian descent have elevated risk of certain chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The risk of developing these diseases can be reduced by engaging in a healthy lifestyle. One component of a healthy lifestyle is engaging in physical activity. However, previous research has shown that South Asian individuals engage in less physical activity, compared to other ethnicities. It is not yet wholly understood why South Asians engage in less physical activity, but it is vitally important to try and find new ways to increase South Asian physical activity levels. Therefore, the investigators have worked with South Asian communities in identifying culturally appropriate forms of physical activity. From this, yoga and walking were identified as two forms of culturally appropriate physical activity. This study will test and compare whether yoga and light intensity walking can be effectively used in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. The results of this study will help the investigators and health policy makers understand how South Asians and other ethnicities respond to exercise, the therapeutic benefits of yoga and help inform future diabetes prevention programmes within multi-ethnic communities.
This study will look at the change in participants' body weight from the start to the end of the study. The weight loss in participants taking semaglutide (a new medicine) will be compared to the weight loss of participants taking "dummy" medicine. In addition to taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what you can do to lose weight. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment participants get, is decided by chance. Participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study has two phases: A main phase and an extension phase.The main phase will last for about 1.5 years. Participants will have 15 clinic visits and 10 phone calls with the study doctor. Extension phase: Approximately 300 participants will continue in the extension phase in the following countries only: Canada, Germany, the UK and selected sites in the US and Japan. These participants will be in the study for about 2.5 years.They will not receive treatment, but will attend another 5 follow-up visits with the study doctor.
Bladder cancer is common in the UK and can kill. A common sign of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (haematuria). GPs will refer to a specialist (Urologist) for further investigation of haematuria if they suspect cancer. Hospitals often have a 'blanket' approach for investigating patients with haematuria. IDENTIFY will collect data on patients having these tests across the UK and internationally, looking at any trends with an aim to create a personalised diagnostic approach for each patient. The data will give patients the ability to make informed decisions, as well as reducing unnecessary and potentially harmful tests.
A school based Physical Activity intervention for pupils (8-9 years old) to promote fitness and wellbeing
Study AG348-C-006 evaluated the efficacy and safety of orally administered AG-348 as compared with placebo in participants with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, who were not regularly receiving blood transfusions. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either AG-348 or a matching placebo.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a soluble fibre supplement in the development of gestational diabetes in women at high-risk. The secondary aim will be to evaluate the effect of the soluble fibre supplement on glycaemic control in high-risk women who develop gestational diabetes in early pregnancy. DESIGN The study plans to conduct a randomised open label controlled study to evaluate the effect of the consumption of soluble fibre, from early to mid-pregnancy, on the incidence of gestational diabetes, insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and metabolic control in GDM diagnosed participants. POPULATION The study team will be studying women with diagnosis of gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies, (considered as high-risk) aged >18 years. TREATMENT Participants in the treatment arms will be 5 gr of Guar gum fibre supplement with meals three times a day (total daily 15 g). Participants in the placebo arms will be taking 5 gr of Cellulose three times a day (total daily dose 15 g). DURATION Participants will be involved for 12 weeks. OUTCOMES Primary outcome: In women with 16-week negative OGTT, GDM at 28 weeks
We have discovered a small change in the genetic code which increases the risk of the brainwave abnormality that is found in rolandic epilepsy. We now wish to confirm this using a second much larger sample of patients. We will investigate the other genetic changes that cause people with the brainwave abnormality to develop seizures, as well as problems with speech, coordination, attention and learning.
This prospective, cross-sectional study was designed to improve understanding of how early-life introduction of peanuts may promote the maintenance of tolerance in adolescence and will serve as an additional safety evaluation of the original nutritional intervention.
