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.
This study aims to improve understanding of the relationship between spinal alignment and walking and balance in people who have degenerative spinal conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pemigatinib plus pembrolizumab or pemigatinib alone versus the standard of care for participants with metastatic or unresectable urothelial carcinoma who are not eligible to receive cisplatin, are harboring FGFR3 mutation or rearrangement, and who have not received prior treatment.
This is a study in adults with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration. The purpose of this study is to find out how well different doses of BI 754132 are tolerated. The participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. Participants receive 1 injection of BI 754132 directly into one of the eyes affected by geographic atrophy. In this study, BI 754132 is given to humans for the first time. The doctors compare how well participants tolerate the different doses of BI 754132. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
To assess the safety and tolerability of long-term pimavanserin treatment in subjects with major depressive disorder and inadequate response to antidepressant treatment.
Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in people with heart disease, causing immense human and economic burden. Available pharmacological and psychological interventions have limited efficacy and the needs of these patients are not being met in cardiac rehabilitation services despite emphasis in key NHS policy. Extensive evidence shows that a particular style of thinking dominated by rumination (dwelling on the past) and worry maintains emotional distress. A psychological intervention called metacognitive therapy (MCT) that reduces this style of thinking alleviates depression and anxiety in mental health settings. This is a single-blind feasibility randomised controlled trial of metacognitive therapy delivered in a self-help format (Home-MCT). The aim of the study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of integrating Home-MCT into cardiac rehabilitation services and to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Home-MCT.
A coronary chronic total occlusion refers to the long term complete blockage of a blood vessel supplying the heart. Exercise is beneficial for patients with heart problems, including people with narrowed blood vessels. However, exercise has not previously been tested in patients with a completely blocked blood vessel. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate exercise testing in participants with a coronary chronic total occlusion, and to see if the physiological changes that occur are reproducible when participants are re-tested. Secondly, the study will see if sustained exercise is safe in this population. Participants will make 3 visits to our Laboratory. During the first two visits participants will complete symptom limited exercise tests using a stationary bike for approximately 8-12 minutes. The bikes' resistance will gradually increase until participants choose to stop or the researcher ends the test. Participants will wear a mask that collects exhaled breath for testing, and will be connected to an electrocardiogram (heart trace monitor), and blood pressure cuff for monitoring throughout the test. During visits one and three patients will also have blood taken pre and post exercise. Researchers will analyse how the amount of oxygen consumed with increasing exercise relates to the participants' heart rate. A plateau in these measures would indicate a change in the heart's blood supply resulting in reduced function. The participants' third visit will involve cycling under the same conditions as previous visits. However, during this test participants will be asked to cycle continuously for 20 minutes at a resistance set by the researchers. This level of resistance is determined from the results of the first test, as the point at which changes in blood flow and heart function occurred. In the last five minutes of the test patients will have an echocardiogram (heart scan), to look at the heart function.
TENS-LA trial is a randomised control trial to assess the possible efficacy of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on eliminating or reducing the pain of local anaesthetic injection for minor surgical procedures. Comparison is done with a mixture of local anaesthetic cream (EMLA) which is used at times for the same purpose. Though local procedures are carried out in various parts of the body, this trial will be conducted specifically on patients undergoing a split skin graft harvest from the thigh. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and are willing to participate will be randomised to receive either TENS or EMLA. Results will be analysed based on the pain score records at the end of the trial
This is a single center exploratory study in subjects suffering from chronic refractory pain to identify cellular, molecular and protein biomarkers within cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The study aims to identify any form of correlation between biological content of CSF and pain/treatment success. The study population include individuals suffering from chronic pain which has not been effectively treated with pharmacological treatment, medical intervention or alternative non-invasive treatments who have been scheduled for spinal cord stimulation.
The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the ongoing safety and tolerability of additional treatment with eteplirsen administered once weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion in male participants with DMD who have successfully completed the 96-week eteplirsen Study 4658-102.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled 2-period 10-week treatment within-subject crossover study of neflamapimod in early-stage Huntington disease (HD). The primary objective is to determine whether neflamapimod can reverse hippocampal dysfunction in patients with early-stage HD, as assessed by the virtual water-maze-test for evaluating spatial learning and selected tests on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).
