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 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple biomarker-selected treatments in patients with persistent or recurrent rare epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal tumors. Enrollment will take place in two phases: a preliminary phase followed by a potential expansion phase.
This is a phase III study of efficacy and safety of secukinumab versus placebo, in combination with glucocorticoid taper regimen, in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA)
The purpose of this study is to establish probable benefits and evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the Braive™ GMS when used in the treatment of pediatric progressive scoliosis.
This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.
Systemic sclerosis or scleroderma is an autoimmune condition that cause thickening and hardening of the skin, but can also affect internal organs. There are two major subsets of scleroderma: the limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) that usually affects the skin of the face, neck, lower legs or lower arms, but can also lead to internal organ complications, and the diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) that may affect blood circulation and internal organs, as well as the skin. To date there is no drug that has been definitively proven to cure or modify the course of scleroderma. However, there is emerging evidence that immunosuppression and specifically mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may be beneficial in lcSSc. The MINIMISE-Pilot trial would be an important first step to evaluate the risk and potential benefit to this disease group. MMF as the intervention of choice is both appropriate and timely, as it has been routinely used in the management of dcSSc. The aim of this pilot trial is to explore whether the immunosuppressive agent MMF can slow down disease progression in patients with lcSSc compared to the current standard of care alone. This pilot trial will also provide critical information for the development of a future large trial that could potentially transform lcSSc patient management.
A global study to demonstrate the effectiveness of selumetinib in participants with NF1 who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas.
The aim of this project is to assess whether video materials from the BBC Tiny Happy People (THP) campaign are effective in terms of improving the language skills of socioeconomically disadvantaged children before they start school. This project will also look at how useable the service is for parents in terms of acceptability, effects on self-efficacy and implementation of advice.
Excess adiposity is a key causal factor in developing type 2 diabetes and weight loss improves glycaemia and can put diabetes in to remission. There is evidence that low carbohydrate diets also reduce glycaemia. The aim of this trial is to test a behavioural support programme delivered remotely to reduce energy intake and carbohydrate intake in particular to improve glycaemic control in people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We will recruit participants from general practice diabetes registers who were diagnosed within the past six years and who want to and are able to follow an app-based behavioural support programme to change their diet and have a BMI of at least 27kg/m2 (≥30kg/m2 if of white European ethnicity). They will be individually randomised 1:1 using simple randomisation to either intervention or a no-intervention control. Blinding of participants or their clinicians is impossible. The intervention comprises a 12-week behavioural support programme delivered by app or web, which provides group-based peer support, recipes for food providing low energy meals that are low in carbohydrate. The programme is delivered by a commercial company, Second Nature. Clinicians will adjust medication for hypertension and diabetes as needed. The co-primary outcomes are change in participants' HbA1c from baseline to 3 months and baseline to 1 year, with p-value adjustment to reflect multiple testing. The secondary outcomes are remission from diabetes, weight change, change in cardiovascular risk factors, and change in quality of life at 3 months and 1 year. The trial will assess whether this app-based programme improves outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes relative to usual care.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Niraparib in participants with either tumor mutation in the BRCA gene (tBRCAmut) HER2- breast cancer (Independent of hormone receptor [HR] status, including HR positive [+] and TNBC) or tumor BRCA wild type (tBRCAwt) TNBC with molecular disease based on the presence of circulating tumor Deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) following surgery or completion of adjuvant therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superiority in efficacy of abatacept compared with adalimumab, on background methotrexate, in adults with early, seropositive, and shared epitope-positive rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate methotrexate response.
