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.
A great medical success is the increase in the median survival age associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, this success has led to a new era of research aiming to maximise the quality of life (QoL) of the aging CF population. Over recent decades, exercise training has become an integral part of CF management by improving ones aerobic exercise function and QoL. However, the effects exercise training has upon other aspects of the disease, e.g. metabolic and vascular abnormalities, remains largely unknown. The increased survival age associated with CF means the non-pulmonary co-morbidities are becoming increasingly prevalent and clinically important. For example, CF-related diabetes (CFRD) is one of the most common non-pulmonary co-morbidities of CF, and is associated with patients having a poorer pulmonary function and nutritional state, which ultimately leads to a worsened prognosis. Despite the efficacy of exercise training to manage dysglycaemia in other populations (e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus only a single study has investigated its efficacy in patients with CF, whereby authors reported various encouraging findings (e.g. an improved OGTT score and insulin sensitivity). The present study aims to build on previous trials by comparing the therapeutic effects of a single session of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate intensity exercise (MIE) upon the 24 hour, ambulatory glycaemic profile of patients with CF. Additionally, the present study will identify whether HIIE and/or MIE can mediate the consequences of transient hyperglycaemia when considering: biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO2) bioavailability, as well as functional measures of microvascular endothelial function. The present study supports the top 10 research priorities set by the CF Trust, by further investigating the potential for exercise training to prevent/manage multiple aspects of CF, including dysglycaemia.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of topically administered AG013 compared to placebo for reducing Oral Mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing chemoradiation for the treatment of head and neck cancer, as measured by the duration, time to development, and overall incidence of OM during the active treatment phase, beginning from the start of chemoradiation therapy (CRT) until 2 weeks following its completion. The effect of AG013 on patient-reported symptoms and analgesic use during the active treatment phase, and on the cumulative radiation dose administered before the onset of OM will also be evaluated, as will biomarkers and, in a subset of subjects, the PK (pharmacokinetic) profile of AG013.
A great medical success is the increase in the median survival age associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, this success has led to a new era of research with the aim to maximise the quality of life (QoL) of the aging CF population. Recent research has demonstrated that the traditional method of determining disease progression, i.e. pulmonary function, no longer adequately predict survival rates. Therefore, various bodies have promoted cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), as outcomes from this test (e.g. one's maximal O2 uptake [VO₂max]) are known predictors of the QoL, risk of hospitalisation and prognosis of individuals with CF. One of the most common non-pulmonary co-morbidities of CF is CF-related diabetes (CFRD). Importantly, CFRD is associated with a poorer pulmonary function compared to CF patients without CFRD, and ultimately a worsened prognosis. Despite this, the influence an impaired glycaemic control has upon the VO₂max derived from a CPET is unknown in CF. Therefore, the present study aims to assess whether VO₂max, an established determinant of QoL, differs between patients with CF with and without established CFRD as well as a group of age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects. The additional measures within the present study, such as: biomarkers of inflammation, redox balance and nitric oxide (NO2) bioavailability, as well as functional measures of microvascular endothelial function will aid our knowledge of the physiological abnormalities which are a cause or consequence of CFRD. Importantly, by identifying the factors which may contribute to CFRD progression and those that are viable for early intervention, mean the aims and objectives of this study are compatible with the top 10 research objectives set by the CF Trust.
This study evaluates the efficacy of 10 mg/day Lu AF35700 on symptoms of schizophrenia in patients with early-in-disease (ED) or late-in-disease (LD) treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS)
This is a study in people between 16 and 30 years of age who have a specific type of mental illness called attenuated psychosis syndrome (APS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether BI 409306 helps reduce the symptoms of APS. Participants are in the study for 1 year and 2 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times and get about 10 phone calls. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. They get either BI 409306 or placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 409306 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a BI 409306 or placebo tablet two times a day. During the study, participants answer questions in interviews and complete questionnaires so the doctors can check whether the APS symptoms change. The doctors also check the general health of the participants.
PRECISION-HD2 is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of WVE-120102 in adult patients with early manifest Huntington's disease (HD) who carry a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs362331 (SNP2).
PRECISION-HD1 is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of WVE-120101 in adult patients with early manifest Huntington's disease (HD) who carry a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs362307 (SNP1).
The purpose of this study is to enable continued access to zilucoplan (RA101495) for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) after they complete a zilucoplan clinical study.
This is a Phase 1/2, multinational, open-label, ascending-dose, delayed-treatment concurrent control clinical study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of AT342 in subjects with Crigler-Najjar aged ≥1 year. Subjects will receive a single dose of AT342 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 5 years.
The primary objective of Part 1 of this study is to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on disability improvement over 72 weeks. The primary objective of Part 2 of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in participants with MS. The secondary objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on additional measures of disability improvement. The secondary objective of Part 2 is to investigate long-term efficacy (disability improvement) and additional safety measures of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in participants with MS.
