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 primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of UCB5857.
Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of MEDI4736 monotherapy in terms of ORR
This protocol describes the investigation of the use of hyperpolarised helium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in reflecting the regional differences in lung function of moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. Since finalisation of the original protocol, new medications for COPD have received Market Authorisation Approvals. Protocol Amendment 02 has been prepared to include these medications in the protocol eligibility criteria and restrictions for the study.
This study compares pharmacokinetic profiles of tobramycin delivered by TobrAir® 6.0 device with TOBI® nebulizer system and the TOBI® Podhaler™ device. In addition, lung deposition of tobramycin delivered by TobrAir® 6.0 device and by TOBI® nebulizer system will be determined.
The investigators are conducting a research study to see if increasing the amount of nitrate (a substance found in large quantities in certain vegetables) in the diet can increase the ability of individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) to perform exercise. Some people with T2D find exercise more uncomfortable than individuals who do not have T2D. This may be explained by the experimental studies showing that T2D can result in reductions in the supply of oxygen to the muscles. Studies have also shown that for a given level of activity, individuals with T2D will be much closer to their maximum exercise capacity than healthy individuals. Dietary nitrate may have two important beneficial effects in individuals with T2D: 1) The effects of dietary nitrate on the responses to exercise may have a significant impact on the ability of individuals with Type 2 diabetes to perform daily tasks and exercise more comfortably and 2) experimental studies suggest that increased nitrate consumption has been shown to reduce the amount of oxygen required for a given level of exercise. The investigators will recruit 60 individuals with T2D. These people will take part in a randomised crossover design study where they will be asked to drink normal beetroot juice (rich in nitrate) and nitrate depleted beetroot juice, prior to performing two different walking exercise tasks (a six minute walk and repeated, low intensity treadmill walking). This study aims to determine if dietary nitrate supplementation reduces the amount of oxygen required for a given level of exercise in individuals with T2D. To test brain function individuals will be asked to perform a standard computerised decision making task following consumption of the nitrate rich and nitrate depleted juices.
Strict glycaemic control has been associated with increased hypoglycaemia and mortality rate, the cause of which was unclear, in subjects with type 2 diabetes. In this study, we hypothesised that acute hypoglycaemia will result in platelet activation in people with type 2 diabetes to a higher degree than controls.
The purpose of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis that market released Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices which contain the AdaptivCRT® (aCRT) algorithm have a superior outcome compared to standard CRT devices in CRT indicated patients with normal atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
The purpose of this First in Man study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, as well as to explore efficacy of PeproStat, a new peptide based coagulant (haemostat), when used in patients undergoing open liver resection surgery.
The investigators hypothesise that reducing basal insulin dose (Glargine, Lantus, Sanofi-Aventis, or Detemir, Levemir, Novo Nordisk), whilst employing current carbohydrate feeding and rapid-acting insulin dose recommendations will protect patients with type 1 diabetes from early- and late-onset hypoglycaemia following evening time exercise.
The overall aim of the trial is to investigate the safety and anti-tumour activity of an experimental drug BI 836845 taken together with the prostate cancer drug, enzalutamide, compared to enzalutamide given alone, in castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients that have previously been treated and failed on docetaxel and abiraterone treatments. Initially, a tolerability and safety phase (phase Ib escalation) will be performed to confirm the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), or recommended doses of both BI 836845 and enzalutamide that can be taken together. Once the MTD, or recommended phase II dose, have been determined an expansion cohort will also be explored (phase Ib expansion) in CRPC patients already taking enzalutamide and have a rise in prostate serum antigen (PSA) levels. Patients may not have received prior docetaxel or abiraterone. Patients in this cohort will receive the MTD, or recommended phase II dose, of BI 836845 and enzalutamide determined in the phase Ib escalation phase. The randomised trial (phase II) will be an open label, parallel group study design in a 1:1 ratio to which patients will receive either BI 836845 plus enzalutamide (Arm A) at the MTD/recommended doses, or enzalutamide alone (Arm B). In all parts of the trial safety, anti-tumour activity will be assessed, in addition to circulating tumour cells (CTC), prostate serum antigen (PSA) response and progression, and determination of Overall Survival (OS).
