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.
Organ shortage for transplant has necessitated use of kidneys from older donors, increasing the chance that the kidney will not work immediately or for as long as expected. The investigators gave the drug heme arginate (HA) to 20 kidney transplant patients in the first 24 hours after transplant, and showed that it may reduce kidney injury and is safe. The investigators plan to conduct a large study recruiting 600 patients to determine whether HA treatment increases the number of kidney transplants that work immediately. If successful, HA may be introduced into clinical practice at the end of this study. Patients will be invited to take part in the study once listed for a kidney transplant. Further discussions will be had with them when admitted for transplant, and they will be offered the opportunity to participate. Consent will not be taken until the patient is admitted for transplantation. Following consent, participants will be randomised to receive either 2 doses of the study drug, HA, or a salt water solution, one at the time of transplant, and one approximately 24 hours later. Otherwise, treatment will be the same as any other patient undergoing a kidney transplant. Information about recovery from surgery, and specifically about kidney function, will be collected, but will not require additional blood tests. The study period ends after the first 7 days post-transplant, although longer term data will be collected from routine follow up appointments. Participants will be asked to complete a simple quality of life questionnaire 3 times: just before transplant, at approximately one week and three months after transplant.
Severe haemophilia B (HB) is a bleeding disorder where a protein made by the body to help make blood clot is either partly or completely missing. This protein is called a clotting factor; with severe HB, levels of clotting Factor IX (nine; FIX) are very low and affected individuals can suffer life threatening bleeding episodes. HB mainly affects boys and men (approximately one in every 30,000 males). Current treatment for HB involves intravenous infusions of FIX as regular treatment (prophylaxis) or 'on demand' treatment. On demand treatment is highly effective at stopping bleeding but cannot fully reverse long-term damage that follows after a bleed. Regular treatment can prevent bleeding; however it is invasive for patients and also expensive. This clinical study aims to investigate the long-term safety and durability of FIX activity in participants who have been dosed with a new gene therapy product (FLT180a) in earlier clinical studies. Following administration, FLT180a results in production of FIX in the participants' liver cells which is then released into the blood stream. The aim is to have the participants' own body produce levels of FIX that allow for clotting to occur as normal as would be seen in a non-HB individual. This would remove the need for prophylaxis or on demand treatment following just a single administration of FLT180a. Up to 50 participants who have already been administered with FLT180a in the EU and US will take part in this study. Participants will be followed up in this trial until they have reached 15 years after being dosed. Participants will undergo procedures including physical examinations, join assessments, blood tests and liver ultrasounds. Participants will also need to complete a diary to document occurrence of bleeding episodes and record the amount of Factor IX concentrate they receive. Patient reports outcomes including measures of Quality of Life, disability and physical activity will also be collected.
To evaluate long-term safety of denosumab in children/young adults with pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) who completed the prior study 20130173 (NCT02352753).
Purpose of this clinical investigation: clinical evaluation/accuracy of HeartSciences MyoVista High-Sensitivity (hsECG) 12 lead Electrocardiogram device, for patients presenting with cardiac related chest pain and/or Non ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). To assess the early intervention of N-STEMI patients. Determine if clinical outcomes can be improved. Assessment will be made on the MYOVISTA's indices, numerical values, and sensitivity/specificity for early detection of cardiac dysfunction/disease,i.e. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Primary objective to ascertain efficacy of the MyoVista and evaluate its usefulness in expediting patients that require further investigation/procedure by way of angiography, thus improving the patient care pathway. Recruitment will take place at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, the Sponsor who will fund the research. A single centre study. Participants will undergo a 12 lead MyoVista ECG in addition to a standard 12 lead ECG. This is not an invasive procedure and carries no risk to the patient. There will be no change in the patient care pathway. The study will last c. 2 years, enrolment of patients ceasing once the statistically significant number to power the study has been met which is sufficient and ethical. Prerequisites for inclusion to the clinical investigation include: - Signed informed consent prior to any procedure relating to the investigation - Patient compliance with the clinical investigational plan - Follow-up appointment(s) attendance - Patient(s) presenting to hospital with a clinical diagnosis of Non ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction - Notable Electrocardiogram morphological changes, consistent with Myocardial Ischaemia (MI) i.e. T-wave inversion, Biphasic T-wave, ST-segment depression - Symptom onset of <12 hrs - Elevated High Sensitivity Troponin Score - GRACE score of >140 It is hoped that > 75% of patients seen will show willingness and compliance throughout the duration of the clinical investigation. Clinical benefits, early diagnosis of heart disease, streamlined triage of patients, reduction in morbidity/mortality, reduction in costs to National Health Service (NHS) and improved patient centered care.
A Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TD-1473 in subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's Disease with up to 48 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different levels of conbercept intravitreal (IVT) injection as compared to the approved vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist active control, aflibercept intravitreal injection (2.0 mg/eye, Eylea®), in subjects with neovascular AMD.
The overall purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of fevipiprant (150 mg and 450 mg once daily), compared with placebo, as add-on to standard-of-care asthma therapy, in terms of avoidance of corticosteroid use over 52 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ontamalimab as maintenance treatment in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD).
This study evaluates ADCT-301 in patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors. Patients will participate in a Treatment Period with 3-week cycles and a Follow-up Period every 12 weeks for up to 1 year after treatment discontinuation.
This study is a multi-center, multi-national, open label, single arm phase 2 study of single-agent denosumab. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the risk versus benefit of denosumab in maintenance setting in patients requiring long-term use (> 1 year) of denosumab. For that purpose, the treatment schedule with reduced dose density (120mg SC 12-weekly instead of 4-weekly) will be investigated, starting after 1-year (12-15 months) of denosumab full dose, as per current label. The impact on OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) without compromising disease control will be assessed.
