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 assess whether added food ingredient(s) affect glycaemic responses to a liquid meal tolerance test (LMTT).
This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.

The overall objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of repeated Lamazym i.v. treatment in patients 5-21 years of age with alpha-Mannosidosis
A single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover, phase II study to assess the effect of aleglitazar on cardiac energetics and function in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus and no history of coronary artery disease who are drug-naïve or treated with stable metformin. Eligible patients will receive either 150 mcg aleglitazar or placebo orally daily for 6 weeks. After a washout period of 6 weeks, patients will cross over to the treatment not yet received.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver condition in which fat builds up in the liver not caused by alcohol. The liver is an organ that is not designed to build up fat. NAFLD is common in people who have too much body fat in their abdomen or who have diabetes (high blood sugar), but does not always exist with these conditions. NAFLD can also occur in thin people too. NAFLD can be harmful to the liver and may cause the liver to fail over time. NAFLD may also cause adult (or type 2) diabetes and also heart disease. In people who already have diabetes, NAFLD can cause glucose (sugar) levels to be too high. Our intestines (guts) contain healthy bacteria and some harmful bacteria (bugs). This balance of healthy and harmful bugs is essential for the normal workings of our intestine to digest food. Providing these bacteria do not leak out into the blood they do not cause harm. If the balance of healthy to harmful bugs is upset, the harmful can cause problems and leak out into the blood. Because the liver is connected to the intestine by blood vessels the harmful bacteria can get to the liver and cause problems. These bacteria can cause the liver and the body to build up too much fat and might cause NAFLD and obesity. In this study, we will test the effects of a supplement (synbiotic) taken during the day, that contains a mixture of 'good' healthy bacteria (probiotic) and a sugar (prebiotic) that is not broken down and absorbed into the blood. We will test whether the synbiotic supplement has beneficial effects on the NAFLD liver condition and on factors linked to too much body fat, diabetes and heart disease.
Surgical correction of congenital heart defects in children requires the utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass, a technique that temporarily substitutes heart and lung functions during surgery. During this process the patient´s circulation is controlled by a bypass machine which provides several functions: 1. Controls the patient's blood flow by pumping of blood in the patient's body. 2. Controls the correct oxygen levels in the patient's blood. 3. Regulates the temperature and fluid level of the blood. This process triggers negative responses in the heart and throughout the whole body, potentially resulting in injury to the heart and other organs such as brain, kidneys and lungs. Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) describes a procedure that could potentially reduce the injury to heart muscle during cardiac surgery. The procedure consists of the inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the child's leg for three 5 minute cycles. This process acts by briefly reducing blood flow to the leg muscle, which will then activate the body´s own protective mechanisms and thereby reduce heart injury. Several animal studies have been used to help the understanding of the mechanisms behind this process, and trials in human adults have showed optimistic results; however evidence regarding the paediatric population is limited and necessary since children present different basal profiles, risks and requirements. The investigators propose a randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of RIPC to provide protection against injury to the heart and other organs in children going through cardiac surgery using CPB at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. The research project will have a translational approach, integrating basic molecular mechanisms to clinical outcome. The investigators hope it will allow the understanding and utilisation of the patient´s own protective mechanisms, reducing CPB-related injury and ultimately improving patient outcome.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the possible benefits of giving the anti-HIV drug maraviroc to people who are taking darunavir/ritonavir alone for their HIV treatment. Many people successfully take only darunavir/ritonavir treatment for their HIV. However, there are some concerns that this treatment may not reach some areas of the body, such as the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system or CNS), as effectively as it does the bloodstream. There is already a large clinical study looking at any differences between 'conventional' HIV treatment with 3 drugs and single drug treatment with a protease inhibitor, also called PI monotherapy, such as darunavir/ritonavir. This includes differences in the effects on the CNS. However, this study will only be finished in 2013. The investigators know that maraviroc can reach the CNS very effectively. The investigators in this study will investigate the effect of adding maraviroc to darunavir/ritonavir monotherapy by looking at levels of inflammation within the fluid that surrounds the CNS, called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF. Maraviroc is a licensed drug for the treatment of HIV treatment.. It showed good results in 2 clinical studies when it was taken by people whose HIV virus had developed resistance to previous HIV treatments. This study will also investigate safety as well as monitor effectiveness when patients take maraviroc is taken on top of normal treatment of darunavir/ritonavir monotherapy. Maraviroc has been shown to be present in the fluid that surrounds the brain in people taking Maraviroc. It is not known if whether the presence of Maraviroc has any impact on brain function. Therefore this study will also investigate brain (neurocognitive) functioning with a computer test and some written tests.
This open-label, fixed-sequence, three-period, single group study will evaluate the effects of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of aleglitazar in healthy volunteers. Volunteers will receive single doses of aleglitazar in all three periods and single doses of rifampicin in periods 1 and 2, and multiple doses in period 3. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 14 weeks.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in combination with R-CVP with that of R-G-CVP for the treatment of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) in a population of patients not suitable for anthracycline based chemotherapy. There is no standard of care for the treatment of this group of patients. If demonstrated to be efficacious and safe to deliver this regimen will be further tested in a phase III trial to determine whether this should become the standard of care amongst patients with DLBCL not fit for anthracycline (R-CHOP).
