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 purpose of this study is to determine whether a chronic dose of a tryptophan-rich protein drink (lumiVida™) can improve cognitive function, emotional processing and sleep in middle-aged women. In addition, also genetic predictors of susceptibility to an increase of Trp levels will be investigated. lumiVida™ is considered a dietary supplement, and therefore it is not an approved drug by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is regulated like a food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and dietary supplements. The investigators do not claim that this supplement is meant to treat any ailment
The purpose of this study is to examine the contribution of sit-stand workstations to total daily physical activity in a multi-component office-based 12 month intervention.
The objectives were to collect information on vital status and pulmonary medication use at the predicted exit date for patients who participated in two one-year trials and withdrew prematurely. The primary objective was to ascertain the vital status (dead or alive) of these patients in the time interval between the patients' withdrawal from the trial and their predicted exit date (i.e: 48 weeks from first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days). The secondary objective was to collect information on classes of pulmonary medication and some other specified pulmonary interventions used by these prematurely discontinued patients at the time of their predicted exit date (i.e 48 weeks from the first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days) or at date of death (if this occurred during the time interval of interest, i.e 48 weeks from the first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of celecoxib on the efficacy and safety of amlodipine besylate in subjects with newly diagnosed hypertension requiring antihypertensive therapy. This study was conducted to support a future marketing application for KIT-302. Kitov Pharma Ltd. (Kitov) is developing KIT-302, an oral fixed combination drug product (FCDP) consisting of the calcium channel blocker amlodipine besylate and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) celecoxib, as a "convenience reformulation" FCDP to facilitate and improve patient compliance with the once a day (qd) administration of its individual components, amlodipine and celecoxib. The formulation of KIT-302 consists of amlodipine besylate and celecoxib co-formulated in a single immediate release tablet. However, for this study, two separate capsules were utilized: one containing a commercial celecoxib capsule (Celebrex®) or matched placebo capsule and one containing a commercial amlodipine besylate tablet (Norvasc®) or matched placebo tablet. The study hypothesis was that treatment with the amlodipine besylate containing capsule plus the celecoxib containing capsule would reduce blood pressure (BP) in subjects with hypertension with an efficacy that is not substantially inferior to the effect of amlodipine besylate alone (i.e., the amlodipine containing capsule plus the matched placebo for the celecoxib capsule). The United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved KIT-302, under the brand name Consensi® (amlodipine and celecoxib) tablets [New Drug Application (NDA) 210045] for the following indication: "patients for whom treatment with amlodipine for hypertension and celecoxib for osteoarthritis are appropriate. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions."
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of multiple dose regimens of BIA 2-093 in healthy young male volunteers
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of single rising oral doses of BIA 2-093 (proposed doses 20mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 900mg and 1200mg) in groups of 8 healthy male adult volunteers.
Consumption of "ready meals" and other convenience foods are rapidly increasing. However, their nutritional value is problematical. For example, many are high in fats which are potentially oxidisable resulting in the formation of toxic end products. Consequently the aim of this study is to assess whether consumption of "ready meals" rich in certain fats leads to a post-prandial increase in lipid oxidation products in plasma and whether this can be ameliorated by reformulating the meals with natural extracts rich in phytochemicals with potential antioxidant activity in the stomach
Background Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term representing all diseases related to reduction in blood flow to the heart characterised by clot formation over a segment of blood vessel narrowing. A major constituent of clot are blood cells called platelets and many of the medications used in ACS target platelet function. Ticagrelor is known to reduce platelet activity in clot formation by blocking a specific step in the process (P2Y12 receptors). A recent study has found that the presence of ticagrelor may also reduce clot formation by significantly enhancing another process involving the molecule nitric oxide (NO). This is of particular interest if translates into clinical practice, as many patients with heart disease have abnormal function of their blood vessel lining. This is known to cause a reduction in available nitric oxide. Does this therefore mean these patients will have a reduced response to ticagrelor therapy and subsequently be at increased risk of clot formation? Aims 1. Will ticagrelor increase the anti clot effect of vessel lining produced nitric oxide? 2. Do patients with diabetes or smokers, who have poor function of their vessel lining, have a reduced response to ticagrelor? Methods This is a pilot study in which we propose to look at 64 patients with known disease of their heart blood vessels, with an equal mix of smokers, diabetics, smoking diabetics and non smoking non diabetics. We will also recruit ten healthy normal subjects to ensure that our tests produce the same results as the basic science study mentioned above. To answer the questions posed we will perform blood tests, primarily looking at platelet function, and non-invasive blood vessel lining assessment. This will be done before and after ticagrelor treatment on each participant, enabling statistical comparison.
