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 main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility, efficacy and safety of automated closed-loop glucose control in the home setting over a short term period. The data and experienced gained from this study will be utilised in planning future home studies. This is an open-label, three centre, randomised, crossover design, involving two, 8 day (first day in the clinical research facility and seven days at home) study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system or by subjects usual insulin pump therapy in random order. A total of up to 24 adults (aiming for 18 completed subjects) aged 18 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics and other established methods in participating centres. Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. During the 24 hour in-patient stay subjects will be encouraged to mimic their usual day and will be allowed to walk inside hospital premises. Subjects will be advised to discontinue automated closed-loop insulin delivery and follow their usual insulin pump therapy for periods of strenuous exercise during the 7 day home study phase. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM (adjusted for potential over-estimation) during home stay. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics, and for the stay at the clinical research facility, time spent in the target range, above and below the target range as measured by plasma glucose.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of Siponimod (BAF312) versus placebo in a variable treatment duration in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (Core Part) followed by extended treatment with open-label BAF312 to obtain data on long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy (Extension Part).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a carboxymethylcellulose based eye drop formulation compared with carboxymethylcellulose based preservative-free lubricant eye drops (OPTIVE™) in subjects with dry eye disease.
CE-MARC 2 is a randomised controlled trial to determine diagnosis and patient management in patients presenting to outpatient clinics with suspected stable angina. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (at 3Tesla) will be evaluated prospectively against current best clinical practice (defined by international guidelines). The study hypothesis is that 3Tesla CMR-guided management of patients with suspected stable angina is superior to current clinical practice based on 1) the principles of the National Institutes for Clinical Excellence (NICE) CG95 guidelines (2010); 2) SPECT AHA appropriateness criteria, in terms of avoiding study-defined unnecessary invasive coronary angiography.
The purpose of this study is to provide access to abiraterone acetate for patients who have completed 12 cycles of abiraterone acetate treatment in Clinical Study COU-AA-001 and continue to receive clinical benefit from this treatment.
Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is known to reduce infarct size post MI when used in the peri/immediate post infarct period. However little is known as to the effect of repeated remote conditioning post-MI (Myocardial Infarction) on not only infarct size, but also on ventricular remodeling and ultimately cardiac failure. In this phase II first in man trial, the investigators intend to carry out daily remote ischaemic conditioning in post MI patients. The principal hypothesis is that RIC applied on a daily basis for 4 weeks following a heart attack improves the ejection fraction at 4 months as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effect of insulin degludec (IDeg) in combination with liraglutide (Lira) and metformin (at least 1500 mg daily or maximum tolerated dose) in subjects with type 2 diabetes qualifying for treatment intensification.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Ceftaroline in a group of patients with renal disease and matching healthy subjects with normal renal function
The purpose of the study is to look at whether taking a new medication for hepatitis C (boceprevir) together with a herbal remedy commonly used for the treatment of depression (SJW) has any effect on the levels of boceprevir in the blood, compared to when boceprevir is taken on its own. Treatment of hepatitis C genotype-1, has recently been significantly improved with the addition of a new class of drugs called protease inhibitors (PIs). Boceprevir belongs to this class of antiviral drugs and it is administered in combinations with other drugs to treat hepatitis C. One of the common side effects of treatment for hepatitis C is low mood (depression) for which treated patients may self-medicate with preparations containing St. Johns Wort (SJW). SJW is known to cause drug interactions, so taking SJW at the same time as boceprevir may result in a change in how both of these drugs usually work. It is therefore important to find out if the levels of boceprevir in the blood are significantly affected by taking SJW. The study aims to help us understand whether it will be safe to take SJW whilst being simultaneously treated for hepatitis C with boceprevir.
The purpose of this study is to define and evaluate optical coherence tomography (OCT) stent guidance parameters through prospective data collection in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures of de novo lesions.
