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.
Open label, observational cohort study conducted to collect demographics, clinical characteristics and outcome observational data from children (6-17 years) with a clinical diagnosis of severe asthma in 2 countries (Spain and United Kingdom), in public institutions. All eligible participants who have a physician decision to initiate mepolizumab treatment and are consented for the study will be observed. Subjects must have received mepolizumab (Nucala) since authorisation by EMEA in September 2018 (in Spain since December 2019) as an add-on treatment for severe refractory eosinophilic asthma in paediatric patients aged six up to 17 years. The study will be implemented in 16 investigating sites (10 in Spain and 6 in UK). The assignment of a patient to a particular therapeutic strategy is not decided in advance by the study protocol, but is determined by the usual practice of medicine, and the decision to prescribe a particular drug is clearly dissociated from the decision to include the patient in the study. Eligible participants will meet the local reimbursement criteria. The study will be managed by IQVIA. No patient-identifying information will be transferred to the sponsor nor the CRO. No visits should be scheduled specifically for this observational study, data will be collected at usual asthma healthcare visits (routine or unscheduled, remote or face to face). If a participant is seen by their physician for monthly mepolizumab injections, data for healthcare utilization, asthma medications and any recent lung function assessment will be collected on a monthly basis. When the participant is seen less frequently by their physician (for example when mepolizumab injection is given at a different site or at home) this data will be collected at usual asthma healthcare visits, which are likely to occur less frequently. The index date will be defined as the date of the first mepolizumab injection administration during the study (i.e. treatment initiation). To accommodate local healthcare practice, this will be according to local healthcare practice.
Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake has been reported as a modifiable risk factor of globally pervasive chronic diseases. Traditionally, the measurement of dietary intake has been conducted via self-report methods such as food diaries, food frequency questionnaires, and dietary recall. These methods are inherently subject to sources of error and biases. The objective measurement of diet-specific urinary biomarkers has been proposed as an alternate assessment method. A dose-dependent biomarker or biomarker panel for total FV intake has been investigated but not successfully established. In a recent publication as part of this PhD research, the researchers outlined a concise panel of 7 FVs that are predictive of total FV intake in a UK population. Recent studies have implemented an untargeted metabolomic approach to identify novel biomarkers of some of the 7 FVs identified in our prior research, but not with onion intake. The aim of this study is to detect, quantify and identify dose-dependent biomarker(s) of onion intake in a UK population using untargeted metabolomics. Phase 1 will be an acute randomised crossover intervention study, involving the consumption of a standardised portion of cooked onions (test) or couscous (control). Urine samples over the 24-hour period post-consumption will be collected. Phase 2 will be a dose-dependent crossover intervention study, where participants are supplied with supplementary onion portions (low, medium, high) to be consumed with their habitual evening meals. Within each supplementation period, participants will consume the same quantity of onions across the 4 days and collect a midstream first void urine samples on the fifth day. Trial order will be randomised, and a washout period of 3 days will be implemented between supplementation periods. 14 participants will be recruited for both phases of data collection. Urine samples will be analysed by high-performance liquid-chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) to identify potential biomarkers.
What research question is being addressed? Can improve the prediction of adverse outcomes be improved for people following a stroke to optimise their treatment and care? How is it of relevance and importance to patients and public? Following a stroke, people are at a higher risk of developing certain conditions including heart failure, another stroke and atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heart rhythm. In the proposed study, the investigators will look at factors which may increase a person's risk of such conditions following stroke. From this, the investigators will determine if risk scores for these conditions can be improved for people post-stroke. This could help doctors decide what treatments are best. Who would be eligible? All adults at participating hospitals who have had an ischaemic stroke (where the stroke is caused by loss of blood flow to the brain) or a transient ischaemic attack ('mini-stroke') confirmed by a stroke doctor. All patients will be asked to take part in the study, or their family members may be asked to provide advice on their behalf if the patient is unable to. Where is the study being conducted? At participating hospitals in England and Wales. What will the participants undergo? At the time of stroke, patients have a lot of information collected about their health, the investigators will copy information from patient's medical records about their health after they agree to take part in the study. Patients or their family members will also be asked to complete some additional brief questionnaires about their quality of life, wellbeing and fatigue. Some questionnaires such as for cognitive function are already collected for patients following a stroke, but where this information has not been collected, it will be collected for the study. The investigators will ask the patients if they can be contacted in 12-months to repeat the questionnaires and information collected about their health.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen (formerly known as AKCEA-APOCIII-LRx) on the percent change in fasting triglycerides (TG) from baseline.
RBN-2397 inhibits PARP7, an enzyme that is switched on by cancer stresses, such as the toxins in cigarette smoke. Cancer cells use PARP7 to hide from the immune system by stopping the cell from sending a signal (Type 1 interferon) that tells the immune system that something is wrong and to kill the cell. RBN-2397 has been shown in animal and human studies to inhibit tumor growth and also shuts down the "don't kill me" signal the tumor is sending to evade the immune system. The purpose of this study is to determine if RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) has the ability to restore the response to treatment in patients with SCCL that have been previously treated with a PD-1/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitor and have had a response followed by disease progression. The Phase 1b portion of the study will assess the safety of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and define the dose of RBN-2397 to be used in combination with pembrolizumab for the Phase 2. The Phase 2 portion of the study will assess the anti-tumor activity of RBN-2397 in combination with pembrolizumab.
The main purpose of Part A of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of mRNA-1345 vaccine and to demonstrate the efficacy of a single dose of mRNA-1345 vaccine in the prevention of a first episode of RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease (RSV-LRTD) as compared with placebo from 14 days postinjection through 12 months. The main purpose of Part B of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a booster dose (BD) of mRNA-1345 administered 24 months after the primary dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of ION582 administered intrathecally in participants with Angelman syndrome.
People living with Parkinson's disease experience progressive motor and non-motor symptoms, which negatively impact on health-related quality of life. Symptoms emerge and evolve as the disease progresses. Current care models are often inadequate to meet their needs. This study aims to evaluate whether a complex and innovative model of integrated care will increase an individual's ability to achieve their personal goals, have a positive impact on health and symptom burden, and be more cost-effective when compared with usual care.
The primary objectives of the study are to identify a setrusumab dosing strategy in participants with OI and to evaluate the effect of setrusumab vs placebo on reduction in fracture rate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study intervention based on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels.
