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 purposes of this study are to determine: - The safety of the study drug and any side effects that might be associated with it. - How much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to remove it in healthy participants. Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for 3 overnight stays. This study involves a single dose of LY3002815 or placebo given as an injection into the vein. This study will last approximately 16 weeks including screening. Additional follow-up may be required. This study is for research purposes only, and is not intended to treat any medical condition.
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of two dose levels of NUC-1031 (500 mg/m2 and 750mg/m2) in patients with ovarian cancer. The primary objective was to determine the anti-tumor activity of NUC-1031 at the selected dose level (500 mg/m2 or 750 mg/m2).
Locally advanced cervix cancers (stage 1B-IV) are usually treated with radiotherapy, concomitant cisplatin chemotherapy and brachytherapy. Failure to achieve locoregional control (LRC) remains a problem, especially in the setting of stage III/IV disease. More importantly, however, the dominant unresolved problem remains the occurrence of distant metastatic relapse. With the knowledge that 99% of all cervix cancer is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, there is a strong rationale to consider immunomodulatory strategies in the radical management of this disease. Therefore, in this research protocol the investigator will treat patients with stage 1B-IVA carcinoma of the cervix planned to receive radical radiotherapy with concomitant cisplatin and brachytherapy. The research involves adding a new therapy in the form of an antiPD1 monoclonal antibody (pembrolizumab) to the standard treatment of radiotherapy combined with cisplatin chemotherapy and brachytherapy. This treatment seeks to activate the patient's own immune system to attack the cancer cells - and the investigator believes that adding this treatment during standard treatment may be particularly effective. Patients will receive an initial dose of pembrolizumab 2 weeks before starting a course of chemoradiotherapy and brachytherapy. In the first instance, patients will receive 100 mg of pembrolizumab and, if this is safe and tolerable in the first 3 patients, the dose will be increased to 200 mg for all other patients. Radiation will be delivered on 28 occasions with chemotherapy given intravenously in weeks 0, 1, 2 and 3. Brachytherapy will be given on 3 occasions after completion of the radiation. Additional doses of pembrolizumab will be given every 3 weeks for a further 7 doses. The investigator will assess the feasibility and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab with radiotherapy and cisplatin.
The skin of a newborn has a sensitive skin barrier relative to an older child and an adult. Newborn's skin, for example, is extremely vulnerable to damage by environmental agents such as harsh detergents, some topical oils, and other irritant chemicals. Evolving perspectives on barrier dysfunction in newborn babies has led to the idea that there may be a window of opportunity in the first few months of a newborn's life to change the environmental agents that their skin is exposed to in order to maximize skin health. These environmental changes could involve the use of optimally formulated wash products and emollients, as well as the removal of all other irritant substances that could damage the skin barrier. Further research is required to identify skincare practices that are harmful and those that are positive, and to ultimately ascertain what the optimum skincare routine should be. An important skincare strategy is to identify an appropriate regimen (use of topical emollients and wash products) that will be used to maintain healthy skin in the future. Baby massage in particular has been shown to enhance the bond between mother and newborn, highlighting that early intervention can support skin health while also being a rewarding experience. Gentle Touch/Early Massage: Apply the lotion with a gentle touch to communicate love to your baby and to create a special bonding moment with skin-to-skin touch. Your touch nurtures baby's social, emotional and physical development. Please take your time to apply consciously the lotion on the whole body of your baby while engaging with her/him. Your touch, light but present, will be consistent across all the face and body areas, it is delicate and soft but more than just applying the lotion. Parents/guardians are using products to help care for their newborn's skin and there is a need to help parents/guardians identify the most appropriate products through research. This study aims to help address this need.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), quality of life and exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) of two treatment doses of CC-90001, 200 mg and 400 mg, compared with placebo, when delivered once daily per os (PO) in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study is designed to assess response to treatment by using measures of lung function, disease progression, fibrosis on radiography, and patient-reported outcomes. It will also assess dose response.
In this integrated, multi-part, Phase I study, the safety, tolerability, food effect, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of single and repeated doses of AZD9898 will be investigated.
This is a modular, first time in patient, open-label, multicentre study of OMO-1, administered orally, alone and in combination with anti-cancer treatments, in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CNP520 on cognition, global clinical status, and underlying AD pathology, as well as the safety of CNP520, in people at risk for the onset of clinical symptoms of AD based on their age, APOE genotype and elevated amyloid.
Lowering of the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure, IOP) is the only proven treatment for Primary Open-angle Glaucoma (POAG). However, even effective reduction of IOP by pharmacological or surgical means does not always change the course of the disease or prevent the onset of glaucoma. Some people with POAG also suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), an increasingly common sleep disorder which is known to affect heart and blood vessels, and may contribute to glaucoma progression. OSA is treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)Íž however using this type of breathing support may raise IOP. This study aims to establish whether a short-term application of CPAP in awake subjects leads to an increase in IOP. Patients with treated POAG, patients with newly diagnosed untreated POAG and control subjects without glaucoma will be included. CPAP will be applied at several different pressure levels for a total of 2 hours during which IOP and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) will be measured. If CPAP is shown to raise IOP or alter OPP it could be necessary to assess available alternative treatment options for OSA.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of morphine (a drug commonly used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, particularly following surgery) on the number of pauses in breathing in patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Morphine has been shown to reduce upper airway muscle tone and can also cause shallow breathing, which can affect breathing function in patients with sleep apnoea. However, to date these effects have not been proven in clinical trials. Although, caution is advised when prescribing morphine to patients with sleep apnoea, there is currently no strong evidence that morphine makes sleep apnoea worse. Only one randomised controlled trial (considered the gold standard in medical research) has shown no worsening of symptoms for patients with sleep apnoea. The effect of morphine on patients with sleep apnoea will be assessed in a safe, controlled, hospital environment. Information from the study will help inform doctors about the safety of giving morphine to patients with sleep apnoea in urgent situations, for example after surgery. The results of this study will enable clinicians to make better decisions when prescribing this drug to patients with OSA in the future.
