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.
To evaluate the acceptability, tolerance and effect on metabolic control of PKU Start, a new Phe free protein substitute for the dietary management of PKU in infants from birth.
Cohort study using data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The study cohort includes all patients who received at least one prescription for ticagrelor for the first time between December 2010 and March 2015, following ACS. Patient baseline characteristics will be described: (Age, Gender, Body Mass Index, Smoking status, Sociodemographic status), type of ACS and interventions, CV history and comorbidities, bleeding and respiratory history. The following outcomes will be examined: Incidence of vascular events (composite MI, Stroke, vascular death, specific vascular event and all cause death), incidence of bleeding and incidence of dysponea. Time to event for vascular events, bleeding and dyspnoea.
Infants have an inborn preference for sweet and umami flavours and dislike sour and bitter, but there is evidence that sensory experiences beginning early in development can modify these preferences in favour ultimately of healthier food choices. Babies are first exposed to flavour in utero and then later through breast/formula milk. This can be manipulated to influence liking and consumption of individual foods with specific high-intensity flavours postnatally. There are no prospective studies evaluating the impact of increasing maternal fruit and vegetable intake during late pregnancy on a child's subsequent acceptance of fruit and vegetables, particularly those with a sour/bitter taste. The hypothesis is that an intervention to increase maternal intake of fruit and vegetables in late pregnancy will enhance fetal flavour exposure and make infants more likely to accept a wide variety of fruit and vegetables in childhood. Before testing this hypothesis, the investigators need to evaluate the general acceptance and taste profile of the fruit and vegetable formats that we intend to offer to pregnant women.
To ascertain whether home-based nocturnal TLA usage over a 12 month period can reduce exacerbations and improve asthma control and quality of life as compared to placebo, whilst being cost-effective and acceptable to adults with poorly-controlled, severe allergic asthma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of different single and repeat doses of PIN201104 in healthy volunteers and in patients with asthma.

The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus placebo on top of guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
This is a study in adults with chronic heart failure. People with chronic heart failure may need to be hospitalised for their condition. Some people with chronic heart failure may eventually die from their condition. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called empagliflozin lowers the chances of patients having to go to hospital for heart failure and whether it improves their survival. The study is open to patients with a type of chronic heart failure called chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Participants stay in the study until researchers have enough information about how effective empagliflozin is. It is expected that participants who enter at the very beginning of the enrolment period may be in the study for over 3 years, while participants who enter near the end of the enrolment period may be in the study for less than 2 years. The participants are put into 2 groups. It is decided by chance who gets into which group. One group gets empagliflozin tablets every day and the other group gets placebo tablets every day. Placebo tablets look like empagliflozin tablets but contain no medicine. Participants visit the doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information about the participant's health. The doctors want to know how many patients had to go to hospital because of heart failure or who died from cardiovascular disease.
After meals, the level of glucose rises in the circulation. In some individuals who are overweight and older, blood glucose can rise to levels which can damage tissues and cause health problems. Usually the hormone insulin, released from the pancreas, effectively lowers blood glucose. However, in overweight and older people insulin is less effective. Certain foods can lower the rise in blood glucose, particularly proteins. This works by increasing the release of a hormone from the gut called Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1), which in turn increases the release of insulin. A Component of milk left over after cheese making, termed Whey protein, is particularly good at releasing GLP-1. Whey protein is used as a food additive and taken as a supplement to help build muscle. Whey protein is a mixture of proteins which the investigators have modified to be more effective at lowering blood glucose. Using laboratory tests the investigators identified a protein present in Whey that does not increase levels of GLP-1 and removed it. It's removal raises the levels of other proteins which are more effective. In this study, the investigators would like to test the effectiveness of the "modified" whey protein. To do this, 30 older, overweight volunteers will be recruited and given the modified whey protein, a normal whey protein or a mixture of amino acids and then a breakfast meal to raise their blood glucose levels. These drinks will be given in a randomised sequence 1 week apart. On each visit, blood samples to measure blood glucose and related hormone levels will be taken. As GLP-1 can also have an effect on appetite, the investigators will measure the effect of the modified whey protein on subsequent appetite in the volunteers by asking them how hungry they feel.
The aim of this study is to assess prospectively the critical period prior to the development of Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) (1), to uncover mechanistic and pathophysiological processes associated with the development and clinical course of ACLF (2) and to identify the precipitating events of ACLF (3).
