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.
The goal is to define a set of clinical pathways for heart failure patients, reflecting the period from prior to admission to the post-discharge period following hospitalisation, under the current system that exists at the two clinical sites [as mentioned previously, the main site is at St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin, but to ensure generalizability the project team will also carry out similar work Portsmouth Hospital, United Kingdom]. These pathways have been drawn up using the experience of the clinical investigators, using an interactive workshop approach and a pilot study. 1. Pre-Admission Pathway 2. Emergency Department Pathway 3. In-Hospital management Pathway 4. Pre-discharge Pathway 5. Post-Discharge Pathway During identification of these pathways, the research team identified the settings/personnel that require study to more fully comprehend the methods, strengths and weaknesses of the present processes. Study activities are focused on two aspects of the patient journey, immediately before discharge and three months post discharge during the outpatient phase.
The study is a prospective multi-centre observational study to evaluate a portable magnetocardiograph device for the rule-out of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain and other symptoms consistent with ACS.
This study aims to compare the clinical performance of the somfilcon A, nelfilcon A II 2 and omafilcon A II 2 daily disposable contact lenses.
This study aims to compare the clinical performance and subjective acceptance of the narafilcon A lens with the stenfilcon A lens when used on a daily wear, daily disposable basis.
The aims of this project are to determine the effectiveness of a time intensive form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Specific Phobia of Vomiting (SPOV). Current research shows that this brief format can be effective in other specific phobias e.g. insects and animals. However, to date limited research has been conducted on the effectiveness of time intensive forms of CBT for SPOV. A single case experimental design will be used to analyse specific and idiosyncratic outcome measures in 6-8 cases of SPOV, referred to the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (CADAT) for treatment. Specifically, the project will explore the effectiveness of CBT delivered in a time-intensive format and imagery rescripting elements of the treatment. This initial study will provide important information about which elements of CBT are most effective at reducing targeted symptoms and whether symptom reduction can be achieved in a shorter number of sessions. It represents a crucial step before this format of CBT can be more rigorously evaluated and compared to other treatment approaches by Randomised Controlled Trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile and tolerability of S 55746 in patients with CLL, B-Cell NHL and MM, in terms of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) through safety profile (DLT, MTD), PK profile, PD profile and preliminary efficacy.
Multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study of guadecitabine vs treatment choice (TC). Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either guadecitabine or TC. TC options include the 8 high or low intensity, locally available regimens below; or Best supportive Care (BSC) alone: - High intensity (intermediate or high dose cytarabine [HiDAC]; mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine [MEC]; or fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony stimulating factor [G-CSF], +/- idarubicin [FLAG/FLAG-Ida]). - Low intensity (low dose cytarabine [LDAC], decitabine, or azacitidine). - BSC.
This study evaluates two doses of RPL554 and placebo in adult patients with cystic fibrosis. All patients receive all three treatments in a randomised sequence.
This is a retrospective, observational study which will utilise the Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre's Tissue Bank to provide samples for IENFD testing in those who have undergone mastectomy surgery for breast cancer. The investigators shall identify all those patients in the Tissue Bank database who have undergone mastectomy surgery for breast cancer. The investigators shall consult the patient's electronic health record, and general practitioner if required, to ascertain whether the patient has died, been diagnosed with cognitive impairment or a psychotic disorder, or receiving ongoing oncological treatment which would exclude them from the study. The investigators shall also exclude all those patients who received surgery within the last year as we intend to elucidate the presence of pain in the immediate post-operartive period up to 12 months post-operatively. Having identified these patients the investigators shall contact them via post with a pack containing an information document, a consent form and questionnaires. As this is an observational study we shall contact all of the identified patients who meet the inclusion criteria with the aim of recruiting as many as possible. The investigators would anticipate a high response rate as has been the experience with previous questionnaire studies of breast cancer patients. Once a signed consent form has been returned the patient's tissue sample would undergo IENFD testing. Their questionnaire responses will allow participants to be split into two groups based upon whether they experience CPSP or not. Blinding of this grouping will take place so that those undertaking the IENFD testing are unaware of the patient's questionnaire responses. Statistical analysis of the two group's IEFD results and questionnaire responses will then be undertaken with the null hypothesis that the pre-operative IENFD at the site of surgery does not predict or correlate with CPSP.
This study compares the efficacy of two dental interventions in the treatment of cervical dentine sensitivity. The participants will be selected from adult dental patients registered at a general dental practice in West Sussex, UK. The participants will be split into 2 groups. One group will receive the intervention of topical fluoride varnish application while the other group will receive a topical application of self-etching dentine bonding agent.
