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 aim to compare the effects of an Exercise programme and a Relaxation Intervention in lymphoma patients in remission post-chemotherapy on quality of life, cardiovascular fitness, exercise tolerance, muscle strength, psychological status, social well-being and biological markers. Subjects will be recruited from a specialist lymphoma clinic in South West London and randomly allocated to an exercise or a relaxation home programme. The study aims to determine the more effective intervention of the two in relation to the outcome measures. The investigators anticipate that the interventions will result in less adverse events and improved quality of life and physical fitness, and subjects will require less medication, less counseling and cancer nurse specialist care, leading to leading to a reduction in hospital and surgery attendances.
The objective of this phase III trial is to establish statistical equivalence in terms of efficacy (best overall response rate [ORR], proportion of patients with complete response [CR] plus partial response [PR]) until 18 weeks of first-line treatment with BI 695502 plus chemotherapy versus Avastin® plus chemotherapy followed by maintenance monotherapy with either BI 695502 or Avastin®.
Evacetrapib (study drug) is an investigational drug being developed with the aim to help people at high risk of heart problems in the future. In this study we will be comparing how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream when it is given as a single dose (in tablet form) compared to an intravenous injection (given directly into a vein via a small needle). The study is expected to last at least 15 days for each participant, not including screening. Screening will occur up to 28 days before the study drug is given.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy while switching to a once-daily single-tablet regimen containing darunavir (DRV)/ cobicistat (COBI)/ emtricitabine (FTC)/ tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) (D/C/F/TAF tablet) relative to continuing the current regimen consisting of a boosted protease inhibitor (bPI) combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) in virologically-suppressed (human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ribonucleic acid [HIV-1 RNA] concentrations less than [<] 50 copies per milliliter [copies/mL]) HIV-1 infected participants.
Tinnitus is a common problem which can have a severe impact on quality of life and for which there is no truly successful treatment available. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a method of stimulating the brain through the application of a magnetic field in a series of rapid pulses and may be a valuable treatment for patients with tinnitus. The overall aim of this research is to see if patients with tinnitus benefit from treatment with rTMS, and in particular whether one type (continuous theta burst) is more effective than other variations of rTMS. Prior to developing a definitive study to address this area a feasibility study needs to be performed. The proposed feasibility study aims to determine outcomes necessary to enable development of a definitive study in the future. 40 patients suffering with idiopathic tinnitus will be randomised into 2 groups, a control group receiving a sham treatment, and an active treatment group receiving theta-burst rTMS on 5 consecutive days.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a 12- or 24-week treatment regimen of simeprevir in combination with daclatasvir, as measured by sustain virologic response 12 (SVR12), in treatment-naive, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b-infected participants who have advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis (METAVIR F3/F4).
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) by next generation sequencing (NGS) compared to standard morphological assessment of embryos on pregnancy rates through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). All embryos will be vitrified and a single embryo transfer (SET) will be performed with either screened or unscreened embryos depending on randomization.
This is a pilot study designed to investigate the effectiveness of the nMARQ Pulmonary Vein Isolation system in the treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (AF) at different ablation settings. AF is a common condition which causes a fast and erratic heartbeat. There are estimated to be 50,000 new cases diagnosed per year in the UK. The fast heart beat can cause symptoms such as palpitations, lightheadedness, chest pains, shortness of breath and fatigue. Catheter ablation is a technique used for the control of AF. In this procedure a catheter (a long thin wire) is passed into the chambers of the heart via a large blood vessel in a leg. The tip of the catheter can destroy tiny sections of heart tissue that may be the source or trigger of the abnormal electrical impulses. One of the challenges of AF ablation is to maximize success rates, as such there is currently rapid advances in technology to carry out this procedure. Different catheters exist which deliver this energy in different ways. This study uses one such system to perform this procedure. It is called the nMARQ system for Pulmonary Vein Isolation produced by Biosense Webster. Currently this system is used in practice in the UK for patients with this medical condition. What we seek to research is when ablating what is the optimum setting to perform ablation at. There is currently no data to guide best clinical practice in this area.
To compare a 2nd generation Buprenorphine Transdermal System (BTDS) patch with a marketed 1st generation BTDS patch to confirm that the two are bioequivalent (deliver the same amount of drug) and that they equally both stick to the skin over 7 days of continuous wear.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding dapagliflozin to insulin is a safe and effective therapy to improve glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes.
