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.
The study will aim to describe and evaluate the effect of chronic beetroot juice supplementation on acute mountain sickness symptoms and exercise in a hypoxic environment. It is hypothesized that beetroot supplementation will decrease acute mountain sickness and increase exercise performance.
The suggested clinical trial is part of the KidsAP project funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. The project evaluates the use of the Artificial Pancreas (or closed loop systems) in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to 7 years. The suggested trial is a feasibility study to pilot the setup of a large-scale outcome trial and to address the specific needs of this population. The results of the pilot trial will feed into the design of the outcome study. In this study the investigators will compare closed loop insulin delivery using standard strength insulin to closed loop use with diluted insulin in very young children with T1D. Diluted insulin is a standard treatment approach for children with low insulin requirements. The investigators hypothesize that diluted insulin will lead to more stable glucose levels by reducing inaccuracies accentuated by delivery of minute amounts of insulin (frequently less than 0.1U/h [1μl/h with standard strength insulin] in small children compared to 1U/h in adults). These inaccuracies may result from pump plunger micro-jumps, tissues pressure build-up, and infusion set kinking. This study builds on previous and on-going studies of closed loop systems that have been performed in Cambridge in children and adolescents with T1D in clinical research facilities and in the home setting. The study adopts an open-label, multi-centre, multinational, randomised, two-period crossover design contrasting closed loop glucose control using diluted insulin and closed loop using standard insulin strength under free-living home conditions. The two intervention periods will last 3 weeks each with a 1 to 4 weeks washout period in between. The order of the two interventions will be random. A total of up to 30 young children aged 1 to 7 years with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through outpatient diabetes clinics at participating clinical centres to allow for 24 completed subjects available for assessment in each of the study arms. Prior to the use of study devices, participants and parents/guardians will receive appropriate training by the research team on the safe use of the study pump and continuous glucose monitoring system, and the hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system. Carers at nursery or school may also receive training by the study team if required. During the intervention periods, subjects and parents/guardians will use the closed loop system for 21 days under free-living conditions in their home and nursery/school environment without remote monitoring or supervision by research staff. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises the tabulation of severe hypoglycaemic episodes.
A Phase I, open-label, multicentre, dose-escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AZD4785 in patients with advanced solid tumours where KRAS may be an important driver of tumour survival. Part A: Dose escalation in patients with solid tumours to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established, a dose expansion cohort may be included in Part A, with up to an additional 6 patients to further explore the PK, safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumour activity of the AZD4785 MTD for confirmation of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part B: Expansion cohort at the selected dose in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to evaluate PK parameters, safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumour activity of the AZD4785 RP2D as monotherapy in patients with NSCLC. Approximately 20 patients with NSCLC (Two groups of approximately 10 patients each) with NSCLC will be enrolled to Part B. Group 1 patients will have an option to provide tumour biopsies and Group 2 will be required (mandatory) to provide paired tumour biopsies. Overall up to 12 patients in Group 2Part B patients will be required (mandatory) to may provide paired tumour biopsies. A third group of up to 20 patients with other tumour types and/or a potential different schedule may be added based on the results seen in Parts A and B and any other emerging data and may also provide biopsies.
The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. This treatment is associated with long term side effects in around half of patients with up to 10% suffering from grade 3-4 toxicity. The development of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) allows for shaping of radiotherapy fields to reduce the doses delivered to organs at risk (OARs). This does appear to reduce the risk of long and short term toxicity (although there is little randomized evidence). However pelvic organ position varies both between and even during radiotherapy fractions; this means that radiotherapy margins must be generous to allow adequate coverage of the clinical target volume (CTV) but this also increases dose to OARs. There have been a number of studies evaluating pelvic organ motion in cervical cancer as well as assessing different adaptive radiotherapy strategies. These have included individualized margins, plan of the day and adaptive techniques. Most of these studies have been carried out using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging which is often poor quality with limited soft tissue contrast. MR offers better visualization of the tumour and OARs and is used for imaged guided brachytherapy treatment. This study will explore the role of MR imaging in adaptive radiotherapy for cervical cancer with development of a number of theoretical treatment strategies.
This is a Phase Ib, open-label, non-randomized study in patients with previously treated advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer (Part 1) and platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (Part 2) to investigate the dose, safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of rucaparib in combination with atezolizumab. The study is conducted in 2 parts: a Dose-Finding Phase (Part 1) and a Dose-Expansion Phase (Part 2)
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of filgotinib, lanraplenib, and tirabrutinib in adults with active Sjogren's Syndrome (SjS).
The primary objective of this trial is to understand the mechanism of action of BI655130 in patients with UC Secondary objectives are to explore clinical effect, safety and tolerability (including immunogenicity) of BI 655130 treatment
This was a dose-finding study that evaluated the change in weight after 24 weeks treatment with 8 different doses of LIK066 compared to placebo in obese or overweight adults, followed by 24 weeks treatment with 2 doses of LIK066 and placebo.
The purpose of this study is to compare productivity (in terms of work or daily activity) and generic and disease-specific health-related quality of life of participants with HER2 positive early breast cancer currently receiving adjuvant treatment (with chemotherapy and/or targeted HER2 therapy), with participants who have completed adjuvant parenteral therapy, and participants with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in participants with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) who cannot be classified with moderate or high confidence into any other category of fibrosing ILD by multidisciplinary team (MDT) review ("unclassifiable" ILD).
