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.
Paediatric clinical trial in 50 children, from newborn to less than 6 years of age, suffering from heart failure due to congenital heart disease, to obtain paediatric pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of enalapril and its active metabolite enalaprilat while treated for 8 weeks with enalapril in form of Orodispersible Minitablets (ODMTs), to describe the dose exposure in this patient population.
Paediatric clinical trial in 50 children, from 1 month to less than 12 years of age, suffering from heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy, to obtain paediatric pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of enalapril and its active metabolite enalaprilat while treated for 8 weeks with enalapril in form of Orodispersible Minitablets (ODMTs), to describe the dose exposure in this patient population.
The purpose of this study is to use abatacept as a clinical molecular probe to evaluate the effects of inhibiting costimulation on immune responses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This cross-over study of 12 patients with sarcoidosis will look at two different widely-used accelerometer devices. These devices are wrist worn and similar in size to a wrist-watch. They measure daily activity levels. The investigators hope to use one of these devices in the future within a randomised-controlled trial looking at using methylphenidate for the treatment of sarcoidosis-associated fatigue. In order to ensure that the investigators choose the ideal device the investigators wish to compare the GENEActiv and ActiGraph GT3X devices. Participants will be required to wear the devices for 7 days each, with 6 patients beginning with the GENEActiv device and changing to the ActiGraph device after 7 days, the remaining 6 participants starting with the Actigraph before changing to the GENEActiv. Patients will complete a short exit questionnaire about their experience with the devices and their preference. The best device will be determined by both patient preference and reliability of collecting data.
It is known from the literature that patients in the Intensive Care Unit do not get enough sleep impacting on short and longterm recovery (Tembo & Parker, 2009; Bihari et al, 2012; Kamdar et al, 2012). The use of non-pharmacological interventions such as massage with essential oils is supported by the literature as being useful in encouraging sleep (Richards et al, 2003; Matthews, 2011). Over 30% of cancer patients are accessing complementary therapies such as these (Rees et al, 2000; Lewith et al, 2002). We propose investigating whether aromatherapy massage and the use of essential oils in the form of an Inhalation Patch (Bioesse TM) prove to be a useful intervention for improving patient sleep whilst on the critical care unit.
CURIOS@ is a prospective multi-centre cross-sectional study to investigate readmissions in participating units. The data collected is derived from two clinical episodes: the episode containing the re-admission and the previous admission (index admission). The main aims are: Outcomes: - Risk factors to predict preventable readmissions in non-surgical patients - Percentage of subjectively non-preventable and preventable readmissions from patient, carer, their nurses and their physician's point of view - Comparison for risk factors on readmissions throughout Europe - Increasing awareness and knowledge for health-care workers on readmissions and its preventability
This study will investigate the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients who are newly diagnosed with lung cancer and compare it to the prevalence of COPD in controls recruited from a smoking cessation clinic.
The study compares three strategies to prevent/minimise nail problems occuring in women, with breast cancer, undergoing Taxane chemotherapy. The strategies are: application of nail polish and normal care; application of Onicolife drops and normal care and; normal care only.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of interventional Lung Assist iLA activve to standard therapy in mechanically ventilated patients with severe acute lung impairment. Hypothesis: iLA(active) reduces the incidence of an increase in SOFA-Score of ≥3 points (or death) within 28 days compared to standard treatment.
The Fit4Life intervention aims to engage inactive patients with type 2 diabetes in a community-based sport intervention, with the aim being that all participants complete 1 x 30 min session of physical activity/exercise per week across the 12 months they are involved in the intervention (total study duration 3 years). The aim of the Fit4Life intervention is to slow the progression of disease symptoms and to improve quality of life in those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this research study is thus to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in achieving these aims. The hypothesis is that involvement in the Fit4Life programme will increase physical activity, reduce type 2 diabetes disease symptoms and enhance self-reported quality of life in male and female patients aged 35-64.
