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 question this research project wants to explore is whether using the Prevena Incision Management System (Prevena) will improve sternal wound edge oxygenation in patients undergoing Coronary Artery bypass surgery with Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery grafts.
Temperature-controlled Laminar Airflow (TLA) treatment delivered by the Airsonett treatment device is a new treatment for patients with allergic asthma. The LASER Trial (temperature-controlled Laminar Airflow in Severe asthma for Exacerbation Reduction - LASER) is a trial, currently evaluating whether the Airsonett device is able to reduce the frequency of asthma attacks in patients with allergic asthma. (www.lasertrial.co.uk) Participants who successfully complete at least 6 months of follow-up in the LASER trial are eligible for the post trial provision of 4 years of an active TLA treatment device. To date there is no long term performance data available to show whether there is any sustained benefit from the long term use of the Airsonett device, whether any improvement in asthma control or quality of life is maintained and whether patients will continue to use the treatment device beyond 12 months (the length of the longest previous trials of TLA treatment.) The investigators plan to assess the performance of the Airsonett device by recording the frequency of asthma attacks in patients over a 4-year period (48 months.) The investigators also wish to evaluate the effect of long term TLA treatment on asthma control, quality of life, healthcare resource use and patient acceptability of longer term use of the Airsonett device. Participants will be sent and asked to complete a series of questionnaires on a 6 monthly basis over the 48 month study period. Questionnaires will be returned by post to a single study centre based in Portsmouth, UK. Participants will also be contacted by telephone on a 6 monthly basis by a member of the trial team to collect information about their medication, healthcare resource use and whether they have had any asthma attacks since their last contact. Participants will not be expected to visit the study centre during the trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate in a double-blinded fashion the taste and overall acceptability profile of different ALS-008176 oral liquid formulations as compared to the reference formulation (ALS-008176: 60 milligram per milliliters (mg/mL) oral suspension without sweetener/flavor) for pediatric clinical development and commercialization.
The purpose of this observational study of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) participants is to explore whether or not there are differences between participants treated with abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), Fatigue, Pain, Cognitive function and medical resource use (MRU).
This post-authorization observational safety study determines the characteristics of patients prescribed naloxegol at time of first prescription and treatment patterns of naloxegol in follow-up in the United Kingdom (UK), Norway, Sweden, and Germany.
CA-170 is a rationally designed and orally available, small molecule that directly targets the Programmed death-ligands 1 and 2 (PD-L1/PD-L2), and V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) immune checkpoints and results in activation of T cell proliferation and cytokine production. This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1 trial of orally administered CA-170 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas who have progressed or are non-responsive to available therapies and for which no standard therapy exists.
This study will evaluate GMI-1271, a specific E-selectin antagonist, in multiple myeloma as adjunct to standard of care chemotherapy used to treat this disease.
HPV vaccines have been included in the national immunisation schedule since 2008, firstly as the Cervarix vaccine which protects against two HPV types and in 2012 as the Gardasil vaccine which offers protection against a further two HPV types. This study will assess whether booster doses are indicated to protect females throughout their lifetime or if the vaccinations offered in early adolescence provide this by following up a cohort from a previous study where female adolescents were vaccinated 5-7 years ago.
Collection of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) data from patients before and after an operation to remove their gallbladder for the treatment of symptomatic gallstones. This PROMs data will provide information to clinicians and trusts about the health gain following this type of surgery and the impact on patient's quality of life. This information will be collected by the implementation of the patient Website aboutmyop.org. This will not only allow patients to complete quality of life (PROMs) questionnaires online, but will also allow them to access information on their condition and necessary surgery, in addition to post-operative follow-up.
The first study of my PhD showed that acute supplementation of berry extracts can modulate cognitive behaviour in healthy adults. There is a growing body of evidence supporting an improvement in memory and learning performance in animal models following the ingestion of flavonoid rich fruits (Shukitt-Hale et al 2008;Spencer 2008; Spencer et al., 2008). However, study 2, showed no effect on any aspects of memory in healthy young adults after supplementation of the berry extracts. It is hypothesised that the lack of behavioural effects on memory of the berry juice in study 2 was because of the cohort used. These healthy adult participants were already performing near to their peak (Salthouse et al., 2009), and unlike study one, participants were not mentally fatigued enough to reveal subtle cognitive benefits. The aims of the study are to examine if acute supplementation of two berry extracts in an older population can augment memory, attention and executive function. Secondly, the time course of these behavioural effects will be measured by multiple cognitive assessments throughout the day after consumption of the extracts.
