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 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy of ipatasertib in combination with oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin (modified FOLFOX6 [mFOLFOX6]) chemotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Participants will be randomized to receive either ipatasertib or placebo orally daily on Days 1 to 7 of each 14-day cycle in combination with mFOLFOX6 on Day 1 of each cycle.
The objective of the study is to compare different deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings using the commercially approved Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Vercise system.
This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of autologous cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34+) hematopoietic stem cells, transduced ex-vivo with Lenti-D lentiviral vector (also called elivaldogene autotemcel or eli-cel), for the treatment of cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD). A participant's blood stem cells were collected and modified (transduced) using the Lenti-D lentiviral vector encoding human adrenoleukodystrophy protein. After modification (transduction) with the Lenti-D lentiviral vector, the cells were transplanted back into the participant following myeloablative conditioning. Participants in this study will be continuously followed in study LTF-304.
Comparison of Two Formulations of AZD5363 and the Effect of Food on Pharmacokinetic Exposure, Safety and Tolerability
Background: Most coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) are diseased or blocked within 10 years of surgery meaning CABG survivors have an ever increasing risk of recurrent angina, heart attack and death. Given the large number of CABG survivors in the United Kingdom (UK), and the complexities of their clinical management, their heart health problems and related treatment are an increasing challenge in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and worldwide. There is considerable controversy in the NHS and internationally about how to best manage patients with prior CABG and unstable angina / non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). This is because there is no robust evidence to inform treatment practices or clinical guidelines since, historically, these patients have been excluded from randomised trials. This is the rationale for our study. Aims: Our overall aim is to undertake a clinical trial of conservative non-invasive management with optimal drug therapy versus routine invasive management in NSTE-ACS patients with prior CABG during routine clinical care in NHS hospitals across the UK. Our trial is a proof-of-concept study of feasibility, safety, potential efficacy and health economics. Hypothesis: A routine invasive approach in NSTE-ACS patients with prior CABG will not be superior to a conservative non-invasive approach with optimal medical therapy. Design: The pilot study will involve 60 patients recruited in large urban hospitals (Western Infirmary, Glasgow Royal Infirmary) and district general hospitals (Royal Alexandra Hospital, Royal Blackburn Hospital (RBH)) to reflect usual practice in the UK. One of these hospitals (RBH) has an on-site cardiac catheterization laboratory, whereas the other hospitals refer patients who have been triaged for invasive management to the regional cardiothoracic centre (the Golden Jubilee National Hospital). In this proof of concept study, the investigators aim to gather information about screening, recruitment, randomisation, patient characteristics (including comorbidity and quality of life) and initial clinical outcomes to inform the design of the definitive trial. The follow-up will be in line with standard clinical care i.e. 30-42 days and 1 year. The investigators will hold data in the longer term to enable long-term follow-up analyses. The investigators will record information on NSTE-ACS patients with prior CABG who are ineligible to take part or who do not wish to be randomised as part of all follow-up registry of 'all-comers'.
Safety and Tolerability Extension Trial for Patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
Primary Objective: To describe efficacy, tolerability and convenience of teriflunomide treatment through the evaluation of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs). Secondary Objectives: To describe disease progression using Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs). To describe clinical outcomes (ie, treated relapses) in teriflunomide treated patients. To describe the change in cognition in teriflunomide treated patients. To describe safety of teriflunomide in patients treated (based on adverse events reporting). To describe adherence and persistence to teriflunomide treatment. To describe quality of life, activity and leisure over the period of teriflunomide treatment. To compare Patient Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) in assessing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease progression.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SB4 compared to Enbrel in subjects with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) despite Methotrexate (MTX) therapy. In some countries, after 52 weeks of treatment with either SB4 or Enbrel, subjects will be enrolled into an open label extension period. Subjects will receive SB4 for an additional 48 weeks.
This is a 2-part study in patients with advanced solid tumours. Part A will investigate the PK of olaparib in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal hepatic function; Part B will allow patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment or normal hepatic function continued access to olaparib after the PK phase and will provide additional safety data.
The mainstay of asthma treatment is with inhaled steroids (commonly called a 'preventer') to keep the symptoms of asthma under control. Increasing strengths of steroid inhaler may be required in order to gain control of asthma, and this is usually guided both by symptoms and simple measurements of lung function such as peak flow. The airways (breathing tubes) in the lungs get smaller the further into the lungs they go. Most simple measurements of lung function only reflect the larger 'central' airways and don't provide information on the smaller 'peripheral' airways.Newer measurements have been developed that can now give us accurate information on how the smaller airways are working.Indeed the small airways seem to play a significant role in asthma in terms of inflammation and airway narrowing. Recently, new types of steroid inhalers have been developed that have a much smaller particle size than other standard inhaled steroids.These have been shown to go deeper into the lungs, thus getting into the smaller airways. There have been a few studies suggesting that this might improve asthma control. However, we do not know if when small airway function is shown to be abnormal, whether this improves with extra-fine particle inhaled steroids, nor whether by improving small airway function specifically this translates into improved asthma control. In this study we wish to study asthmatic patients who are not completely controlled on standard particle size inhaled steroids, in addition to having evidence of abnormal small airway function. By doing this we want to find out whether changing to the same dose of an extra-fine particle inhaled steroid instead will improve asthma control by getting deeper into the lungs and improving small airway function.
