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 randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic.
The study will be conducted in two parts. The first (Part A) will be an open label single dose escalation part beginning with the proposed starting dose level of GSK2398852 as 5 milligram (mg) [approximately equivalent to 0.1 mg/kilogram (kg)]. The next escalation dose levels are proposed as 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg. GSK2315698 will be administered at variable doses until the concentration of the serum amyloid P component monoclonal antibody (SAP mAb) has fallen below 100 nanogram/millilitre (ng/mL). Decisions about these next dose levels will be made following safety review of the prior subjects' data; dose levels may be changed (increased and lowered) and dose levels may be repeated depending on the observed safety such that Part A extension study may be performed. In addition, pharmacokinetics of GSK2315698 (SAP depleter) and GSK2398852 (anti-SAP mAb), and circulating SAP concentrations will be assessed. Dose escalation in Part A will continue to the highest well tolerated dose or the highest allowable dose. Subjects will be closely monitored and will undergo Equilibrium contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (EqMRI) including organ volume, Elastography and Liver Biopsy if required. Part B will be a randomized partially blinded part with the principal objective of assessing the dose response of the GSK2398852 in more detail. Subjects will be assigned to one of approximately 5 dose groups from Part A. The precise selection of numbers of subjects and dose levels will be informed by the results from Part A.
This is a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, phase 3 clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin in combination with CHP with the standard-of-care CHOP in patients with CD30-positive mature T-cell lymphomas.
Rates of stillbirth in Scotland are among the highest in resource rich countries. The majority of stillbirths occur in normally formed infants, with (retrospective) evidence of placental insufficiency being the commonest clinical finding. Maternal perception of decreased fetal movements appears to be an early biomarker both of placental insufficiency and subsequent stillbirth. The study proposed here will test the hypothesis that rates of stillbirth will be reduced by introduction of a package of care consisting of strategies for increasing pregnant women's awareness of the need for prompt reporting of decreased fetal movements, followed by a management plan for identification of placental insufficiency with timely delivery in confirmed cases. The odds of stillbirth fell by 30% after the introduction of a similar package of care in Norway but the efficacy of this intervention (and possible adverse effects and implications for service delivery) have not been tested in a randomized trial. The investigators plan a stepped wedge cluster design trial, in which hospitals in Scotland and Ireland will be randomized to the timing of introduction of the care package. Outcomes (including the primary outcome of stillbirth) will be derived from Scotland and Ireland's detailed routinely collected maternity data, allowing the investigators to robustly test the hypothesis. A nested qualitative study will examine the acceptability of the intervention to patients and health care providers and identify process issues (barriers to implementation).
The purpose of the study is to investigate if patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) who also report bloating are more likely to report clinically important gastrointestinal symptoms after consuming fructose or fructans than after consuming glucose. We will also use MRI imaging to investigate the mechanisms by which those symptoms might be caused. We will also study a parallel group of age and gender frequency matched healthy volunteers to provide descriptive statistics on a likely reference range for the healthy population. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic condition, the main features of which are pain in the abdomen, an erratic bowel habit and sometimes bloating. Recent research has found that certain carbohydrates (sugars) in the diet can cause symptoms such as discomfort, bloating and wind/gas in people with IBS. These sugars are not well digested in the small bowel. They move to the colon (large bowel) where bacteria act on them by fermentation, producing gas. Some of the gas is absorbed and breathed out through the lungs, where we can measure it. The rest is released as flatulence/ wind, or occasionally belching. People without IBS rarely get symptoms after consuming these sugars. We want to find out what is different in IBS sufferers. We will study fructose and fructans, sugars found in fruit, vegetables and wheat. Fructose draws water into the small bowel but fructans do not so we can compare effects on the small bowel and colon. Participants will attend three times, and on each occasion consume a drink containing either fructose, fructans, or glucose - a sugar that does not cause symptoms. Neither they nor the investigators present will know which drink is which. They will record their symptoms over the next 5 hours. We will observe how many report a clinically important increase in symptoms. To look at what is happening in the bowel we will use a technique called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We want to see if more gas, or water, builds up in people with IBS than in healthy volunteers. We will also measure the amount of hydrogen released in the breath to see if this is could be a simple bedside test that agrees with the MRI findings Finding differences between the response of participants to fructose, fructans and glucose could change the way we advise patients, and could lead to the use of MRI as a test for IBS.
A primary therapeutic goal for patients with intermittent claudication (IC) is to regain lost physical function through exercise rehabilitation. Supervised exercise programmes can markedly improve walking capacity, but these are resource intensive, National Health Service provision is limited, and patients cite accessing services as a barrier to participation. Increasing walking activity via a structured education programme might be a pragmatic solution for improving walking capacity, health and wellbeing in patients with IC; however, further research is needed to substantiate this. Hence, the aim of this project is to develop a pragmatic education programme to increase walking in these patients and to collect data on its feasibility to inform the development of a definitive trial investigating clinical and cost effectiveness. Focus groups will be conducted to inform the development of the education programme. Programme components will be theoretically-underpinned and evidence-based. The development of the programme will be an iterative process involving pilot work, feedback, evaluation, and revision. The programme will then be assessed in a randomised controlled pilot study with 6-week follow-up (n=30). We will assess the feasibility of the intervention and obtain preliminary data of its impact on important outcomes (daily steps/physical activity, walking capacity, quality of life, illness perceptions).
The primary objectives of this study are: - To determine whether rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily (bid) + aspirin 100 mg once daily (od) compared with aspirin 100 mg od reduces the risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD); - To determine whether rivaroxaban 5 mg bid compared with aspirin 100 mg od reduces the risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death in subjects with CAD or PAD.
Hemophilia A is an inherited blood disorder in which one protein, Factor VIII, needed to form blood clots is missing or not present in sufficient levels. Hemophilia A causes the clotting process to be slowed and the person experiences bleeds causing serious problems that could lead to disability. The current standard treatment for severe hemophilia A is infusion of FVIII to stop bleeding, or regular scheduled treatment to prevent bleeds from occuring. Due to the short half-life of FVIII, prophylaxis may require treatment as often as every other day. In this trial safety and efficacy of a long-acting recombinant Factor VIII molecule is being evaluated in 50 male subjects, < 12 years of age, with severe Hemophilia A. These subjects will receive open label treatment with long-acting rFVIII for approximately 6 months (or longer until 50 exposure days) on a regular schedule at least once every 7-days. Doses and dose intervals may be adapted to the subject's clinical need. A second group of patients will receive open label treatment with the same drug for 12 weeks on a regular schedule of 2x/week. Patients will attend the treatment center for routine blood samples and will be required to keep an electronic diary. Subjects will be offered participation in an optional extension study to collect observations for at least an additional 50 exposure days.
This Phase 2 first-in-neonate EDI200 study will enroll treatment-naïve, XLHED-affected male newborns in the first two weeks of life. All subjects will meet entry criteria including documentation of an Ectodysplasin (EDA) mutation associated with XLHED. Following Baseline evaluations, EDI200 dosing will be initiated between day-of-life 2 and 14, with each study subject receiving 2 doses/week for a total of 5 doses. The study will enroll subjects in two cohorts with subjects in cohort 1 dosed at 3 mg/kg/dose, associated with partial efficacy, and cohort 2 dosed at 10 mg/kg/dose where enhanced efficacy was demonstrated in the most relevant preclinical model. Given the challenge of identifying families where the subject is yet to be born, it is expected that cohort size and time for recruitment will be variable.
