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.
Patients with Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) almost always develop acoustic neuromas in both ears. As a result of the tumours themselves or the treatment of the tumours, many patients become profoundly deaf in both ears. It is possible to restore a degree of hearing by placing a hearing implant in the brainstem adjacent to the hearing pathways within the brain. This is termed an auditory brainstem implant (ABI). The aim of this study is to find the optimum head position in relation to the MRI magnet field, which would produce least area of image distortion in patients with ABIs. This will be of benefit in optimising the MR imaging in future patients with implants.
The purpose of this study is to compare STZ vs everolimus as first line treatment for advanced pNET and to elucidate which sequence of streptozotocin (STZ) based chemotherapy and the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, everolimus, gives better results in terms of second Progression Free Survival (PFS) in well differentiated and advanced pancreatic NETs.
This study is a retrospective chart review to evaluate the doses of botulinum Type A toxins BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) used for the treatment of Cervical Dystonia and Blepharospasm in clinical practice.
This is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, single and multiple ascending dose study in healthy subjects. Safety evaluation will include (serious) adverse events, vital signs, body weight and lung function tests. Blood samples for Pharmacokinetics will also be drawn at specified timepoints.
25-30% of women with preexisting vascular disease (chronic hypertension/diabetes/obesity) will develop pre-eclampsia and or growth restriction. In addition, the frequency of stillbirths in this group is dramatically increased over the general population. Pregnancy complications in this very heterogeneous group are likely to be a combination of a failure of the maternal vasculature to adapt to pregnancy and/or a failure of placental development. The relative contribution of these two mechanisms is poorly understood and current preventative strategies (aspirin) in this group only prevent a small number of adverse outcomes. This important and complex group have been inadequately investigated to date mainly because of the diversity of their underlying disease complicating prospective research studies. The evolution of tools which allow more detailed assessments of both uteroplacental blood flow and maternal vascular function will enable us to perform prospective studies in these women and to develop targeted preventative measures. Recent biomarker studies have also identified a number of biomarkers which have not yet been assessed in these high risk groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine the toxicity, tolerability and safety of single ascending doses of AX-024.HCl in healthy male subjects.
A study in healthy males and females to see if a high single dose of TA-8995 has an effect on the ECG QTcF interval.
The purpose of this Clinical Investigation is to validate that the clinical use of the VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™ is safe for the operator, patient and third parties, and to confirm its performance to percutaneously close femoral arterial puncture sites in the range of 18-24 F, post endovascular procedures. This is a non-inferiority study based on safety. Safety will be assessed by incidence and severity of major complication rates directly related to the VIVASURE CLOSURE DEVICE™ up to 3 months from implantation is no worse than those associated with cut-down and sutured close.
The purpose of this study is to narrow the gap between patients being diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and those being appropriately monitored and treated. For this purpose a prospective survey of current practice (3 months) will be conducted followed by a six month period of intervention during which a variety of quality improvements measures will be implemented. There will then be a 3 month follow-up period during which the legacy of this initiative will be monitored during which no intervention will be carried out.
The purpose of this study is to assess two new Ebola vaccines: cAd3-EBO Z at 3 different doses, and a second vaccine, MVA-BN® Filo, at 3 different doses. The study will enable us to assess the safety of the vaccines and the extent of the immune response in healthy volunteers. The investigators will do this by giving volunteers a either one or two vaccinations, doing blood and saliva tests and collecting information about any symptoms that occur after vaccination. This is the first trial to use either of these vaccines in humans. We plan to recruit a total of 92 volunteers to be vaccinated.
