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 investigate the effect of dietary macronutrient manipulation on glycogen (stored carbohydrate) levels in the muscle and substrate oxidation during exercise. The investigators will investigate the hypothesis that manipulating the macronutrient content of the diet will alter the levels of glycogen in the muscle and, in turn, substrate oxidation during exercise.
An Open-Label Study in Healthy Male and Female Subjects to Identify the Concentration that Provides Optimal Bioavailability of Levodopa Infused Subcutaneously via a Pump System; and to Compare the Bioavailability of Levodopa/Carbidopa Solution to that of Levodopa/Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG), Infused via a Naso-Jejunal Tube
While the process of fibrosis is essential for normal wound healing, an excessive and uncontrolled 'fibrotic' response can result in impaired tissue structure and function. In other words, affected 'fibrotic' tissues are unable to heal back to normal and therefore don't work as effectively as they normally would. In the case of the lung, fibrosis can occur across large parts of the lung such as in conditions like Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and sarcoidosis or it can occur in much smaller patches such as around the borders of some lung tumours. At the moment the investigators don't fully understand the mechanisms of fibrosis and so therefore cannot monitor or treat these conditions as effectively as the investigators could. Despite the significant global financial burden of these diseases, treatment options are very limited and monitoring of disease progression remains a real challenge. In an effort to address this problem, the research group are currently developing a library of novel optical molecular imaging SmartProbes that are targeted against key pathological processes in the human lung. The functional profile for this portfolio of probes is that they exhibit high stability and specificity in vivo and have a short activation time permitting rapid point-of-care in situ molecular profiling enabling in the future, improved diagnostic certainty and stratification for targeted pharmacological intervention. This clinical microdosing study protocol focuses around the intrapulmonary delivery of microdoses (<100µg) of the Smartprobe Fibroproliferation (FIB ONE) to disparate regions of the human lung to highlight MMP activity combined with an active MMP inhibitor (AZD1236) to the distal lung. This approach will enable the research team to directly demonstrate the utility of this SmartProbe-based platform in the validation of drug target engagement in areas of suspected fibroproliferation (characterised by increased MMP activity).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical pharmacology of a single dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of XOMA 358 in subjects with hypoglycemia associated with congenital hyperinsulinism.
This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of luspatercept (ACE-536) plus Best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in adults who require regular red blood cell transfusion due to (β)-thalassemia. The study is divided into the following periods: - Historical Period, - Screening/Run-in Period, - Double-blind Treatment Period (48 weeks), - Double-blind Long-term Treatment Period, (at the investigator's discretion an additional 48 weeks), - Open-Label Phase post unblinding and upon Data Monitoring Committee positive recommendation - Post-treatment Follow-up Period
The proposed study will address the effect of developed novel food products through processing innovation on motivation to eat, biomarkers of satiety, nutrient bioavailability and gut health using in vivo studies and validating new in vivo approaches. Specifically in this protocol the investigators will address, in a short human intervention study the effect of a potentially satiating product on appetite, appetite biomarkers, particularly the influence on gut microbiota, tolerance and safety of the products in healthy obese and overweight participants in free living conditions.
The main purpose of this study is to compare maintenance treatment with avelumab plus best supportive care (BSC) with BSC alone, to determine if avelumab has an effect on survival in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer that did not worsen during or following completion of first-line chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of QVA149 (110/50 μg o.d.) vs tiotropium (18 µg o.d.) + salmeterol/fluticasone propionate FDC (50/500 µg b.i.d.) in patients with moderate to severe COPD
Encouraging individuals to eat fruit and vegetables is difficult. However, recent evidence suggests that using social-based information might help. For instance, it has been shown that if people think that others are eating lots of fruit and vegetables, that they will consume more food to match the 'norm'.The purpose of this study was to determine whether social norm messages could be used to enhance vegetable purchases in workplace restaurants, in an observational study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of switching from a regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) and abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) or a fixed dose combination (FDC) of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC) to a FDC of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus continuing DTG and ABC/3TC as the FDC ABC/DTG/3TC in virologically suppressed Human Immunodeficiency Virus- 1 (HIV-1) infected adults.
