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.
In adults, muscle diseases are usually chronic long-term conditions that do not have a definitive cure. Supportive care has been shown to reduce complications from muscle disease and improved survival in some cases. However, there has been limited research to evaluate interventions that may improve quality of life (QoL) with this patient group. The QoL of those with MD is not just affected by the severity of their MD but also a variety of psychological variables. Based upon the knowledge of these psychological variables the investigators feel that a particular type of psychological intervention known as "acceptance and commitment therapy" (ACT) could potentially improve QoL in those with MD. The investigators therefore propose to test whether ACT does in fact improve QoL in those with MD by randomising 154 patients to receive either standard medical care plus a guided self-help ACT programme, or standard medical care only.
It is important that patients who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) have their disease monitored at an early stage, as well as when it is established. Presently, if a patient is to be assessed by means of disease activity scores and blood tests, they must attend a hospital appointment, which can be difficult for patients who live far from the clinic. It would be beneficial to be able to monitor and reliably define and report a disease 'flare' at home. Quite often, by the time the patient attends for an appointment, flare ups have subsided. This study will evaluate the possibility for patients to take their own blood samples in the comfort of their own home, by transferring finger prick blood droplets to a dried blood spot sample (DBSS) card. Patients would then send the cards to the laboratory to test for clinically relevant protein markers. The feasibility of 'remote' monitoring of the patient's disease will be explored.
This is a Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center, Multi-national Trial to Evaluate the statistical equivalence of efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of SAIT101 Versus Rituximab as a First-line Immunotherapy Treatment in asymptomatic patients with Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma.
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of adalimumab prior to surgery in participants with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) who were surgical candidates.
The purpose of this study is to to assess the safety and tolerability of pirfenidone 2403 mg/day for the treatment of RA-associated interstitial lung disease.
The purpose of this study is to continue to characterize the safety profile of benralizumab administration and monitor the pharmacodynamic activity of the drug in those asthma patients who remain on treatment for at least 16 weeks and not more than 40 weeks in the predecessor study D3250C00021 (BORA, NCT02258542).
Single dose comparison of liquid and solid formulation, followed by study of effect of high fat breakfast. Evaluation of multiple dose pharmacokinetics and tolerability
This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of UCART19 to induce molecular remission in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
A Phase III, randomised study of atezolizumab alone and in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in participants with untreated advanced urothelial cancer.
The study will evaluate the benefit of applying Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres prior to receiving systemic chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin-gemcitabine, or CIS-GEM) in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Half of the patients will be randomized to CIS-GEM chemotherapy plus SIRT, and half of the patients will be randomized to CIS-GEM alone.
