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 aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a CRTH2 receptor antagonist, OC459, in preventing or attenuating the worsening of asthma symptoms during rhinovirus infection. The study is a double blind, randomised trial in which half the subjects will receive OC459 and the other half placebo, before being inoculated with rhinovirus, that would normally induce a worsening of asthma symptoms i.e. an exacerbation.
This trial studied the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of the anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) BGB-A317 (tislelizumab) in combination with the poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor BGB-290 (pamiparib) in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-child shared reading intervention run by The Reader Organisation. The investigators will be asking parents and children across Liverpool to either (i) attend a weekly shared reading programme or (b) to attend a weekly children's reading group at a library. The investigators will look at how the reading groups affect children's language development, by comparing children's language development before having gone to these groups and after they have attended these groups.
This is a randomized phase II study, aimed at evaluating the efficacy (through progression free survival at 6 months) and safety of 5 different treatments involving atezolizumab, bevacizumab and/or acetylsalicylic acid in advanced recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients in order to select the optimal treatments for further development in Phase III.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two anti-cancer drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) with and without the study drug known as olaratumab in participants with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) or STS that has spread to another part(s) of the body.
This study is a phase 1, dose finding, open-label study in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This is a dose escalating study to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lutetium (177Lu)-lilotomab satetraxetan (Betalutin®) in DLBCL patients who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant. The study will also assess safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and efficacy.
This is a multi-center retrospective observational research study collecting data for participants initiated on docetaxel for the treatment of relapsed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) up to 6 years before start of data collection and who have completed/stopped docetaxel treatment at least 30 days prior to data collection. The primary goal of this study is to describe the percentage of participants with at least one neutropenic sepsis (NS) episode following initiation of treatment with single-agent docetaxel. Data will be collected until end of docetaxel treatment plus an additional 30 days to allow for presentation with toxicity.
Research has shown that body composition is a key component of health and future disease risk. Being overweight and obese is associated with a higher body fat composition, and a greater risk of developing type II diabetes and heart disease. The location where fat is stored in the body is becoming increasingly recognised an important predictor of risk, with extra fat around the abdomen and waist (referred to as the android pattern of fat distribution or 'apple' shape) thought to increase your disease risk than storing fat around the thighs and buttocks (gynoid pattern of fat distribution or 'pear' shape). As a result, there is significant interest in techniques to accurately monitor and detect changes in body composition, and also physiological and lifestyle factors which influence body fat, lean tissue mass and bone mineral density. This cross sectional human study will look at how physiological, behavioural and genetic factors relate to total body composition in 1,196 healthy men and women aged between 18 and 70 years. Interested applicants will be invited to attend for a single visit at the Hugh Sinclair Unit of Human Nutrition at the University of Reading. This visit lasts around two hours and includes noninvasive measures of body composition (bio-electrical impedance and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), arterial stiffness and fasting measures of metabolic health. Diet and physical activity will then be monitored over a four day period using diet and activity diaries, and an activity monitor. The findings from this study will contribute to the evidence base on how subject characteristics influence body composition and inform on the design of future human studies on body composition methodology.
Recently published European guidance recommends the evaluation of the radiation dose to the bone marrow in patients undergoing radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancer. The methods described in these guidelines require serial blood samples to be taken from the patient, followed by a sophisticated analysis to determine the radiation dose. However, radiation risk assessments carried out locally have indicated that a relatively high radiation exposure will be received by the operator taking the blood samples, which may prohibit this procedure being carried out routinely. The radiation dose to the operator will be lowered if the duration of the blood sampling procedure were reduced. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a lancet and pipette to collect blood from the finger tip will greatly reduce the time spent in proximity to the patient, significantly reducing the operator exposure and allowing this procedure to be performed routinely. The proposed method is also less invasive for the patient compared to the intravenous sampling recommended in the guidelines. A proof-of-principal pilot project using radioiodine diluted to the expected concentration in blood has indicated that using very small volumes of blood (such as from a lancet) does not compromise the accuracy of the dosimetry measurement when compared to large-volume standard blood samples. The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether sampling a small volume of blood using a lancet and pipette can replace standard intravenous blood samples for bone marrow dosimetry in patients undergoing radioiodine treatment for thyroid cancer. Statistical tests will determine whether there is a significant difference between the doses calculated using each blood sampling method. In addition, the investigators will measure the radiation exposure received by the operator during each procedure using Electronic Portable Dosimeters. The results of these measurements will be used to quantify the reduction in operator radiation exposure afforded by the new technique.
This prospective, non-interventional time and motion study will evaluate the costs of healthcare resource utilization associated with the administration of trastuzumab (Herceptin) SC and IV formulations in HER2-positive EBC. This is a sub-study of the clinical study MO22982 (NCT01401166/PrefHer).
