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.
NAXIVA is a study of axitinib in patients with metastatic and non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma with venous invasion. Patients will be given axitinib (twice daily) for 8 weeks (at an escalated dose) and the response of the venous invasion will be assessed. Blood, urine and tumour tissue samples will be taken prior to and during therapy to evaluate biomarkers of treatment response. The primary objective is to assess the response of the thrombus to axitinib. Its thought that axitinib will reduce the extent of the thrombus in the inferior vena cava will reduce the extent of surgical intervention.
This is a global Phase III, two-arm, open-label, multicenter, randomized study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous (SC) administration in combination with chemotherapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.
The purpose of this Phase I study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of ticagrelor in pediatric patients from 0 to less than 24 months with sickle cell disease. Ticagrelor dose level adjustment will require a Protocol amendment and regulatory approval.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and tolerability of SYSTANE® Complete in adult patients with dry eye disease. Fluorescein-stained tear film break-up time (TFBUT) will be evaluated as the primary objective.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol in amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Type I diabetes(T1D)T occurs when an individual loses the ability to make enough insulin to control their blood sugar levels. They need insulin injections to replace the insulin production that has been lost. Traditionally people with T1D are thought to make none of their own insulin after diagnosis, but we have recently identified that there are some people who have T1D but go one making insulin for many years. We would like to explore this in more depth and understand why some people with T1D go on making insulin and some do not. This will help us understand the causes of T1D and may help work out ways to protect this remaining insulin production, with improved blood sugar control, and reduced long-term complications of diabetes We aim to explore genetic and immunological factors which impact on the ability of an individual diagnosed with Type I diabetes (T1D) to produce their own insulin. We aim to study individuals who have been diagnosed with T1D with variable duration and assess the genetic and immunological profile of those whose are thought to be producing significant amounts of insulin despite a long duration and those who despite a very short duration, lose insulin production very quickly.
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a co-developed exercise referral scheme. Participants will be recruited to one of three groups 1. Co-developed exercise referral scheme, 2. Usual care exercise referral scheme, 3. No treatment control (no intervention). The study will measure effectiveness by observing change in cardiorespiratory fitness at 12 weeks. Intervention cost-effectiveness will also be evaluated at 3 months follow-up using objective physical activity data.
Non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis (NASH) affects up to 3% of the population and leads to liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death. The only known treatment is weight loss and exercise. Many patients cannot or will not achieve this with conventional means. The pathogenic process of the disease is insulin resistance which can be reversed relatively quickly with intense exercise or electrical stimulation of muscle. Most patients cannot achieve or sustain the level of aerobic exercise required; resistance exercise is more sustainable and similarly effective. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate whether electro-muscle stimulation, designed to emulate resistance exercise, resolves NASH in patients and moves them to a less dangerous metabolic steady state which should be easier to maintain.
Given the high number of people with DMO and PDR, the need for patients to be seen at short follow-up intervals, the need for frequent treatments and the requirement for long-term follow-up, there is a very large workload in Hospital Eye Services related to DMO/PDR which is making it difficult for the NHS to cope with the demand, in particular, due to shortage of ophthalmologists. This is only expected to get worse given the increasing prevalence of DM. Identifying new ways of increasing the NHS capacity and efficiency without compromising the quality of care would greatly benefit the NHS. The purpose of this study is to determine whether successfully treated patients with DMO and PDR could be followed up without a face-to-face examination by an ophthalmologist. EMERALD will evaluate a new care pathway which will include multimodal retinal imaging and separate image assessment by trained ophthalmic graders. This new pathway will be compared to the current standard care pathway: for DMO: ophthalmologist evaluating patients in clinic by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and with access to OCT images; for PDR ophthalmologists evaluating patients in clinic by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. EMERALD will compare how accurate the new pathway is at determining which patients have active or inactive disease. The costs and acceptability of current and new models of care will also be compared.
This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of ventricular ablation therapy using the FlexAbility Sensor Enabled Ablation Catheter in patients with drug-refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in whom ventricular tachycardia recurs despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy or when antiarrhythmic drugs are not tolerated or desired.
