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 the study is to demonstrate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of bimekizumab in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA, also known as radiographic axSpa (r-axSpA)) including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpa).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of finerenone compared to placebo (a tablet without active substance) in the reduction of cardiovascular death (generally meaning death due to disease of the heart or blood vessels) and total Heart Failure (HF) events, including HF hospitalization and urgent visits for HF(generally meaning a hospital stay or urgent presentation to a healthcare unit due to worsening symptoms of heart failure) in patients suffering from HF with an ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Researchers will also collect information on how much the heart disease has impact on patient's lives, change of kidney function, and how well finerenone treatment is tolerated. The study plans to enroll 6000 male and female patients of the age of 40 years and above suffering from heart failure with ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Participants will take the study product as oral tablet with a dose between 0 (Placebo) 40 mg once daily. Study duration will be up to 43 months.
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop thick, red and white scaly patches on the skin. There is an unmet medical need for effective treatment in pediatric patients and this study is being done to evaluate risankizumab in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will assess the change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is a drug being studied for the treatment for plaque psoriasis in pediatric participants. This study has 4 parts. Part 1: Participants aged 12 < 18 will receive a fixed dose of risankizumab. Part 2: Participants aged 12 < 18 will receive; - Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab based on body weight followed by; - Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment. - Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab (if needed). Part 3: Participants aged 6 < 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight. Part 4: Participants aged 6 < 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight (Japan only: Participants aged 12 > 18 will receive risankizumab based on body weight). Around 132 participants will be enrolled in approximately 50 sites worldwide. Risankizumab and ustekinumab are given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Parts 1, 3, and 4: Risankizumab for 40 weeks with a follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 65 weeks. Part 2: - Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab for 16 weeks. - Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment for 36 weeks. - Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab for 16 weeks. Follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 81 weeks. Participants from each Part who meet eligibility criteria for an open-label extension (OLE) study may continue on risankizumab for 216 additional weeks. There may be a higher burden for study participants compared to standard treatment. Participants will attend monthly visits and medical assessments will check the effect of treatment through blood tests, questionnaires, and checking for side effects.
A study designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of crovalimab compared with eculizumab in participants with PNH who have not been previously treated with complement inhibitor therapy.
This is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of prophylactic emicizumab in previously untreated and minimally treated patients at study enrollment from birth to ≤12 months of age with severe hemophilia A (intrinsic factor VIII [FVIII] level <1%) without FVIII inhibitors. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab administered at 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg) once every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 52 weeks. After 1 year of treatment, participants will continue to receive emicizumab (1.5 mg/kg once every week [QW], 3 mg/kg Q2W or 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks [Q4W]) over a 7-year long-term follow-up period under this study frame.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) are types of inflammatory arthritis. They are disabling conditions caused by inflammation in joints that can lead to pain, stiffness, fatigue and joint damage. There is currently no cure but treatment is aimed at reducing joint inflammation. Some of the most promising new therapies work by interfering with the binding of a molecule called tumour necrosis factor (TNF). In recent years, new anti-TNF drugs (such as adalimumab, etanercept and certolizumab) have been developed that block the action of TNF and reduce this inflammation. These drugs are very effective in controlling inflammation for many patients whose arthritis has not responded to other therapies. Some patients can take these medications for a long time. If a patient is stable on their rheumatoid arthritis biologic or biosimilar, tapering the drug is often considered. The investigators are planning to look at drug level and anti-drug antibody testing to guide anti-TNF tapering (reducing) decisions in UK patients with RA who have stable, reduced arthritis symptoms. The investigators think that measuring these drug levels and anti-drug antibodies in blood samples will be useful for guiding this process, but the investigators can't be sure. It is important to do this safely so the patient doesn't experience a flare of their disease symptoms. The study will be used to determine whether a much larger study to assess the usefulness of these measurements would be achievable. This study will assess whether measuring biomarkers (measurable substances in the blood) that may affect a patient's response to treatment. If a patient are eligible to take part, they will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups; - Their Doctor receiving information and treatment advice based on their blood results or - Their Doctor not receiving this information
The primary objective of the study is to determine if treatment with high-dose aflibercept (HD) at intervals of 12 or 16 weeks provides non-inferior best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) compared to aflibercept dosed every 8 weeks. The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: - To determine the effect of HD vs. aflibercept on anatomic and other visual measures of response - To evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of aflibercept

Binge eating disorder (BED) is a common and disabling eating disorder (ED) which has significant effects on psychological wellbeing, physical health, and quality of life. Talking therapies, most notably cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), are presently recommended for the treatment of BED. However, outcomes from treatment are inadequate. Therefore, there is a need for development of new treatments. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of combining Attention Bias Modification Training (ABMT) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to reduce binge-eating behaviour and craving for food in people with BED. ABMT is a computerised training that seeks to alter responses towards food that people are not consciously aware of. During ABMT, participants are trained to 'look towards' low-calorie food and 'look away' from high-calorie food. TDCS is a safe, well tolerated, non-invasive form of brain stimulation which is suitable for supervised self-administration. It stimulates specific brain areas using a mild electrical current (2 mA) via small electrodes placed on the scalp. In this study, participants will be randomly allocated to receive either ABMT with real tDCS or ABMT with sham tDCS. ABMT and real/sham tDCS will be delivered simultaneously, i.e. participants will engage in ABM training whilst receiving tDCS. All participants will be remotely supervised by the study researcher for the duration of each treatment session. Biological male and female adults (aged 18-60) of any gender will be eligible to take part if they have a DSM-V of BED and they are overweight or obese. Taking part will involve completing 10 sessions of combined ABMT and real or sham tDCS over 2-3 weeks. Binge frequency, food craving and other outcomes will be measured at the start of the study, end of the study, and at the 6-week follow-up.
Safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of GSK S. aureus candidate vaccine (GSK3878858A) when administered to healthy adults (dose-escalation) and to adults 18 to 64 years of age with a recent S. aureus skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). In the dose-escalation safety lead-in phase in healthy adults safety and immunogenicity of 4 different compositions is assessed. After safety has been shown in this phase, in the second phase, proof of principle (PoP) phase of the study in adults with a recent SSTI safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of the final composition of the vaccine is assessed.
