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.
This project aims to investigate whether consumption of cocoa polyphenols has an impact on cognitive function in individuals aged 50 to 60 years of age and if such an improvement is a result of an improvement in risk factors associated with cognitive decline in ageing.
This study will identify the changes in different muscles of patients receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) during critical illness and admission to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The information will help guide development of treatments such as exercise that may help to reduce the amount of muscle wasting that can occur during critical illness.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of CCX168 (avacopan) to induce and sustain remission in patients with active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), when used in combination with cyclophosphamide followed by azathioprine, or in combination with rituximab.
PROSPECT-C is a phase II study investigating the molecular markers of response or resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal inherited condition in Caucasians, causing recurrent chest infections and premature death due to lung failure. When patients develop chest infections their symptoms usually slowly worsen over the course of several days to weeks. Due to this gradual onset, patients often seek medical attention several days or weeks after symptoms start to worsen. The Investigators believe that if they were able to monitor patients more closely they could diagnose and treat chest infections earlier and consequently improve health outcomes. The HOMECF study aims to investigate whether home monitoring is beneficial for adults with CF. 100 subjects will be randomly allocated, 50 to receive home monitoring and 50 to receive routine clinical care for 12 months. Subjects receiving home monitoring will measure their lung function and symptoms twice weekly and this data will be transmitted to the medical team by means of a modified mobile phone. the Investigators hypothesize that home monitoring will allow them to diagnose chest infections at an earlier stage and reduce hospital inpatient days. They will also assess the subjects' experience of receiving home monitoring, the impact on body weight and lung function and and conduct a full health economic analysis to assess value for money. They will also ask subjects to collect a urine sample once weekly to allow us to measure urinary levels of inflammatory markers. Subjects will be recruited at the West Midlands Adult CF Centre in Birmingham. The research team are well placed to carry out the study because it is a large regional adult CF centre with an excellent record of conducting clinical research.
This will be an open-label, non-randomized, single oral dose study in healthy male subjects. All subjects will receive a single oral dose of 10 mL of [14C]-RPC1063 Solution (0.1 mg/mL), containing NMT 1.3 MBq (37 μCi) 14C.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of three doses of orvepitant, taken once a day, in the treatment of chronic refractory cough.
CVD-REAL is a multinational, observational cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus evaluating the comparative effectiveness of initiating treatment with a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor versus another glucose-lowering drug. This study will compare the risk of all-cause mortality and clinically relevant cardiovascular (CV) outcomes respectively in patients who are new users of SGLT-2 inhibitors with those who are new users of other glucose-lowering drugs. CVD-REAL is aiming to collect data from approximately 4 million patients overall, from twelve countries across three major world regions.
The study aims at assessing the usefulness of the Heartfelt1 device in patients suffering from heart failure, who have peripheral oedema. The device is non-contact and does not requires patient compliance to work. It gives an output reading of the patient's lower leg volume. During the study, this measurement will be compared to clinical standard and gold standard measurements as well as clinical grading of peripheral oedema.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) versus placebo decreases the risk of cardiovascular events in participants who have or are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and are statin intolerant.
