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.
Study Objectives: To collect and describe demographics, disease-management, and treatment outcomes of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) patients who are newly diagnosed and classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. To perform observational studies concerning relevant scientific research questions in MDS using clinical data and biological samples, and to present relevant research outcomes in the fields of diagnosis and prognostication, health related quality of life issues, health economics, and risk stratification for newly developed classes of drugs. To disseminate results of the studies to all stakeholders involved.
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as MRI and CT scan, may find recurrent cancer. It is not yet known which MRI or CT scan schedule is more effective in finding recurrent cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing four different MRI and CT scan schedules in patients with stage I seminoma of the testicle.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. Giving alemtuzumab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alemtuzumab when given together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I , stage II , stage III, or stage IV peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Following patients who have undergone surgery for colorectal cancer may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan better follow-up care. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is following patients who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III colorectal cancer.
RATIONALE: Learning about the long-term effects of dietary, lifestyle, and environmental factors on the risk of cancer progression and recurrence may help the study of bladder cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how dietary, lifestyle, and environmental factors affect patients with early-stage bladder cancer.
RATIONALE: Learning about long-term effects in patients with testicular cancer may help doctors plan better treatment and follow-up care. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is using CT scans to follow patients who have been treated for metastatic testicular cancer.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of selenium and vitamin E may stop cancer from growing or coming back. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving selenium together with vitamin E to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing cancer progression and recurrence in patients with early-stage bladder cancer.
RATIONALE: Studying quality of life in patients with bladder cancer may help determine the long-term effects of bladder cancer and may help improve the quality of life for patients in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life in patients with bladder cancer.
RATIONALE: Studying different factors that effect patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer may help doctors learn more about the disease, improve the ability to plan cancer treatment, and help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying different factors affecting patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine when given together with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, and to see how well they work in treating patients with progressive or relapsed metastatic germ cell tumors.
