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 open-label, multicenter, global study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) and obinutuzumab in participants with refractory or relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) or atezolizumab and obinutuzumab or tazemetostat administered in participants with refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The anticipated duration of this study is approximately 4.5 years.
Oesteoarthritis of the joints of the finger(s) is a common problem. The first-line treatment involves pain killers taken either as tablets, gels, or patches. Secondly, some joints are amenable to injections of steroids and anaesthetic agents. Finally, as a last resort, some joints may be fused or replaced with prosthetic joints by Hand Surgeons. We are investigating whether supportive taping of the painful finger joint reduces pain and improves function, and whether this treatment could be used to substitute pain killers, injections or surgery. We hypothesise that supportive finger tape may improve pain, improve the stability of the joint and thereby improve day-to-day hand function too. We will investigate this through a two-group parallel randomised controlled trial whereby one group will receive the treatment taping and the other group will receive a theoretically placebo taping configuration. We will measure pain daily, hand function and adverse events.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of UCB7665 administered by intravenous or subcutaneous infusion in healthy subjects.
The primary objective is to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine (10 mg twice daily) has a clinically meaningful effect on patient-reported walking ability over a 24-week study period. The secondary objectives are: To determine whether prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg taken twice daily (BID) has a clinically meaningful effect on dynamic and static balance, physical impact of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and upper extremity function over a 24-week study period; To evaluate criteria for early assessment of response to fampridine that can predict clinically meaningful benefits in walking ability and balance; To assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily over a 24-week treatment period.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common condition affecting approximately 1% of the United Kingdom populationÍž it is an autoimmune disease where the body's natural defences (the immune system) attack the body itself resulting, most notably, in joint damage and arthritis. To help prevent this, patients with rheumatoid arthritis need to take disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). As rheumatoid arthritis is a life-long condition, these drug treatments are prescribed as long-term medications taken for many years. With successful drug treatment, many patients are able to achieve an excellent control of their disease and their arthritis can go in to remission. At present, there are no markers which can reliably predict which of these patients can reduce their drug treatment, and hence benefit from a lower risk of side effects and inconvenience, without an increase in their arthritis activity. We invite patients with stable rheumatoid arthritis to participate in this study conducted by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with Newcastle University and funded by the Wellcome Trust. Patients whose arthritis is confirmed as being in remission will be able to stop their DMARD medication and be monitored for a period of 6 months. Patients whose arthritis activity increases during this time will be able to restart their DMARD medication, whereas those patients whose arthritis remains in remission will be able to stay off DMARD medication. The main aim of this study is to identify clinical, ultrasound and blood markers that can predict which patients will remain in remission after stopping DMARD medication. If identified, these markers could be a useful guide to doctors and patients in the future when deciding whether to stop DMARD therapy.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic and safety and tolerability profile of TAK-079 following a single intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous administration at escalating dose levels in healthy participants.
The purpose of the study is to look at the levels of three HIV medications: dolutegravir, elvitegravir and cobicistat in blood after the drug intake has been stopped in order to understand how long these drugs persist in the blood. The study will specifically look at blood levels of these three drugs after taking them every day for 10 days dolutegravir on a first stage and a combination of elitegravir and cobicistat in a second stage. If the participant decides to take part, the duration of the study will be up to 38 days plus a screening visit which will take place up to 28 days prior to the start of the study, and a follow up visit which takes place 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication. This study is not randomised which means that all participants will receive all study medications in the same order. The participant and the study doctor will know which study medications the participant is taking at all times during the study.
Obesity is a growing problem in East London and every other woman who enters pregnancy is obese or overweight. In addition to obesity, other metabolic risk factors such as raised lipids, high blood pressure and diabetes increase pregnancy related complications such as preeclampsia and long term problems such as heart diseases, stroke and death. Preeclampsia, presenting as hypertension and proteinuria is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Interventions that reduce cardiovascular events by modifying risk factors also have the potential to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. The investigators work funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) in the UK showed that dietary interventions in obese pregnant women may reduce the risk of preeclampsia. The investigators propose to show that pregnant women with metabolic risk factors derive the most benefit from a simple, targeted intervention based on Mediterranean dietary pattern to reduce the risk of maternal and fetal complications . Women with the risk factors (1230 women) will be randomly allocated to dietary intervention or usual antenatal dietary advice and the risk of maternal and fetal complications will be evaluated. The remaining eligible women who are consented for lipid tests, but do not have metabolic risk factors, will be followed up for outcome data only. Diet based interventions, especially those based on a Mediterranean dietary pattern has a potential to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. In the investigators study, pregnant mothers with risk factors will be randomly allocated to either a dietary invention or usual antenatal care and they will assess their composite maternal (pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes) and fetal (stillbirth, small for gestational age or admission to neonatal intensive care unit) outcomes. The investigators will tailor the intervention to suit the individual needs of the mother and provide nuts and olive oil to improve compliance. The study will be undertaken across the three maternity units at Barts Health NHS Trust, which delivers 17,000 women/year and two other maternity units in England. The study is supported by the office of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets which will facilitate the involvement of grassroots workers to promote recruitment and uptake of the intervention.
This prospective database has two main objectives; - to evaluate the complication rates, 30-day and 90-day mortality from different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline resectable or initially unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. - to establish baseline quality parameters for different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline and initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.
