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 study is a Phase I, open-label, single-centre, randomised, two-period, single-dose crossover study to compare and assess the bioequivalence, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of hydroxycarbamide dispersible tablets (20 x 50 mg) (test IMP) and Siklos® film-coated tablet (1000 mg) (reference IMP) following single-dose administration. Thirty (30) healthy male and female participants, between 18 and 50 years of age are planned to participate in the study. Study participants will be randomised to one of the 2 possible combination sequences. After each treatment administration, blood samples will be collected at specific time points to assess the Pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters.
A Phase I, Open-label Study of Absorption-Distribution-Metabolism-Excretion (ADME) of [14C]RIST4721 Following a Single Oral Dose to Healthy Male Subjects
The researchers will conduct a randomised controlled trial to evaluate a social media-based intervention aimed at reducing body dissatisfaction among young Indonesian women between 15 and 19 years old. The intervention (titled Warna-Warni Waktu) consists of six sequential videos that tell a fictional story of a typical Indonesian young woman. The videos address known risk factors for body dissatisfaction and include evidence-based techniques to mitigate body dissatisfaction. In addition, the intervention encompasses 18 short online activities intended to encourage participants to think critically about the messages learnt in the videos and practice applying the lessons in real life. The primary aim is to evaluate the short-term (immediate and four-week post) impact of the intervention on young Indonesian women. The primary outcome is trait body dissatisfaction. Secondary outcomes include internalisation of societal appearance ideals, mood, appearance-related life engagement, and skin shade satisfaction. The second aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the videos individually on eliciting state-based improvements (i.e., improvements in the moment) in body dissatisfaction and mood. This will be a within-group design, whereby only participants in the intervention condition will complete single-item measures of body dissatisfaction and mood immediately before and after watching each episode. Further exploratory analyses are also planned. Approximately 1800 young Indonesian women will be recruited for this research project. The study's hypotheses are as follows: 1. Participants randomised to the intervention condition will experience reduced body dissatisfaction, skin shade dissatisfaction, and internalisation of appearance ideals, as well as improvements in appearance-related life engagement and mood, at post-intervention, and one-month follow-up, relative to the waitlist control condition. 2. Each video in the Warna-Warni Waktu series will elicit immediate state-based improvements in body satisfaction and mood. 3. Greater engagement and adherence in the Warna-Warni Waktu intervention will result in greater reducing in body dissatisfaction, skin shade dissatisfaction, and internalisation of appearance ideals, as well as improvements in appearance-related life engagement, and mood. This analysis will be exploratory in nature, depending on participants' engagement and adherence in the intervention during the trial.
Cellulitis is an increasingly common and unpleasant bacterial infection of the skin, usually affecting the legs. Patients experience pain and swelling, loss of mobility, fever, and chills. Patients may be left with chronic skin damage and 1 in 5 experience recurrences. Cellulitis is treated with antibiotics, but it is unclear as to how long treatment should be for. As a result, many patients get much longer antibiotic treatment than needed. This exposes patients to the risks of taking unnecessary antibiotics. This study aims to find out what features of individual patients predict a good, sustained recovery from cellulitis. These may include medical conditions and clinical response to the first few days of antibiotic treatment, such as changes in skin temperature. Patients who are being treated in hospital for cellulitis will be invited to take part. Information will be collected about patients who will be followed up for 3-6 months. Devices for measuring skin temperature will also be compared to see which one works best. This information will be used to help develop a set of rules that doctors can use to guide the length of antibiotic treatment. This should ensure that future patients receive the amount of antibiotics needed and no more.
The aim of this study is to examine the reproducibility of postprandial coronary heart disease (CHD) risk marker and sleep responses to acute exercise bouts and to quantify the magnitude of individual variability in responses using a replicated crossover design. Healthy, recreationally active men will complete two identical rest control and two identical exercise (60 min at 60% maximum oxygen uptake) conditions in randomised sequences. Fasting and postprandial venous blood samples, arterial blood pressure and arterial stiffness measurements will be taken at pre-determined intervals, and sleep duration and quality will be assessed. Reproducibility and individual variability will be examined using bivariate correlations and linear mixed modelling.
This study aimed to compare the clinical performance of two daily disposable toric contact lenses.

The purpose of this study is to understand If there has been an improvement in outcomes/ experiences - The current usage of ISJMIX formula in children who require blended diets - Improved feeding intolerances - Improved patient outcomes/ experiences
The aim of this pilot/feasibility study is to test if delivering rhythmic vibration cues to the lower legs, specifically in response to gait defects (rather than continuously), can improve walking quality and overcome gait freezing in Parkinson's disease. During the study, people with Parkinson's disease that suffer from regular (daily) gait freezing will undertake a series of walking/activity circuits, receiving continuous cueing, responsive cueing (delivered in response to gait freezing), no cueing and no device. Vibration cueing is provided by a non-invasive wearable device prototyped at the University of Oxford, worn on the lower legs during 3 circuits. A series of walking metrics will be analysed.
Ventilated neonates frequently require supplementary oxygen to allow for adequate oxygen delivery to the tissues and normal cell metabolism. Oxygen treatment should be monitored carefully as both excessive and inadequate dosing can have detrimental effects for the infants. Hypoxia (giving too little oxygen) increases mortality and later disability whereas hyperoxia (giving too much oxygen) increases the risk of complications such as retinopathy of prematurity and lung disease. Although very preterm and low birth weight infants represent the majority of ventilated neonates, more mature infants may also require mechanical ventilation at birth and provision of supplementary oxygen. Therefore, they may suffer from complications related to hypoxia or hyperoxia. Hence, their oxygen saturation levels and the amount of the inspired oxygen concentration provided should be continuously monitored. Oxygen control is traditionally monitored and adjusted manually by the nurse looking after the infant. Closed-loop automated oxygen control (CLAC) is a more recent approach that involves the use of a computer software incorporated into the ventilator. The software uses an algorithm that automatically adjusts the amount of inspired oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation levels in a target range. Evidence suggests that CLAC increases the time spent in the desired oxygen target range, decreases the duration of hypoxia and hyperoxia and reduces the number of manual adjustments required by clinical staff. However previous studies have been limited to very small infants. With this study the investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of CLAC in ventilated infants born at 34 weeks gestation and beyond. The achievement of oxygen saturation targets and the number of manual adjustments required will be compared between periods of CLAC and manual control in a cohort of patients that has not been included in previous studies and could also benefit from the intervention. The investigators will also evaluate if CLAC reduces investigations performed to ventilated babies(blood gases, X-rays).
The purpose of this study is to test whether a picture narrative format is more successful, than text with pictures or text alone, in communicating lung screening information (primarily defined by positive attitudes towards the design and increase in knowledge) to people likely to be invited to lung screening where available.
