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.
Comparison of live remote paediatric digital vision testing outcomes versus face to face appointments in orthoptic clinic
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in very preterm infants. This study aims to determine whether NEC rates are different between infants who receive probiotics versus infants who do not receive probiotics. The study has a retrospective cohort design and will utilise routinely collected data from the UK National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD). The cohort will comprise all infants born before 32 weeks gestation and cared for in neonatal units in England and Wales between 2016 and 2022. A propensity score matched approach will be used to conduct two comparisons: i) the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) between who do and those who do not receive probiotics in the first 14 days of life ii) the risk of NEC between babies who receive the two most common probiotic products used in UK units, (Labinic and Proprems).
Background: Despite improvements in the treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), the cancer returns in half of the women and shockingly 40% are dead within 5 years of their initial cancer diagnosis. There is an urgent need to identify reliable biomarkers of response for chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Study Aims: To update Concr's existing predictive algorithms specifically for use in women newly diagnosed with TNBC. The plan is develop technology which will predict which drug the cancer will respond best to, treatment A vs. treatment B AND how the individual's prognosis could change if treatment A is chosen overtreatment B. Study Design: The VISION study is a clinical study looking back in time (retrospective study), specifically focusing on women who were previously diagnosed with early Triple Negative breast cancer and received chemotherapy followed by curative breast surgery. The plan is to collect historical clinical data and previously collected cancer biopsy samples from up to 200 women in order to update Concr's existing treatment prediction algorithms. Hence there are no extra research biopsies needed in order to participate in the Study. Study Sites: UK and Australia Study Funding: This study is funded by the a Techbio company called Concr with support from Innovate UK (UK Government funding).
This project aims to understand the feasibility, acceptability and real-world evidence of a novel UK-based remote brain health clinic for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A timely and accurate diagnosis of dementia is a priority in the UK and MCI is indicative of future risk of cognitive decline. An accurate etiological diagnosis of MCI (MCI-subtyping - distinguishing those who are likely to go on to develop dementia and those who are not) is vital for treatment planning. Whilst the assessment of molecular biological markers (biomarkers) for etiological diagnosis of MCI and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly recommended and employed internationally, the uptake is low in UK memory clinics. The Brain Health Clinic (BHC) has been specifically designed as a state-of-the-art diagnostic centre for those with MCI. Procedures will include a range of clinical and biomarker assessments, with molecular biomarkers based on lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Additionally, the clinic will employ remote neuropsychiatric assessments using digital and telephonic methods. This allows for regular contact, whilst adhering to changes in clinical practice and national guidance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our overarching objectives are to first establish the acceptability and feasibility of the remote Brain Health Clinic and its novel clinical and biomarker assessment programme. Then secondly establish the impact of care under the Brain Health Clinic on i) care management decisions (e.g. follow-up and treatment planning); ii) time to etiological diagnosis of MCI (MCI-subtyping); and iii) time to diagnosis of dementia and severity of dementia at the time of diagnosis.

This study aims to comprehensively assess confidence in and acceptance of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines among Japanese parents and caregivers with daughters aged 12-18 and their decision-making process.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ALZ-801 in Early Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects with the APOE4/4 genotype. This is an open-label trial of treatment with ALZ-801.
The purpose of this study is to describe midfacial segment pain phenotype, burden and comorbidities in a multicentre and multidisciplinary setting. The ultimate goal is a comprehensive description of this type of pain allowing for its implementation in future classifications. This cross-sectional study is designed to describe midfacial segment pain in a clinical setting. Patients from rhinologic, headache and facial pain or oral medicine/dentistry secondary care centres will be recruited during a one year period. Individuals with other facial pain according to current classification such as sinonasal disorders, neoplasms, local infections, history of significant trauma associated with pain onset will be excluded. Data will be collected through a structured questionnaire covering pain characteristics, coexisting diagnoses, pain-related burden and consequences, physical examination and paranasal sinuses imaging.
The goal of this observational pilot data acquisition study is to establish if target users can obtain diagnostic quality images in the clinic, from participants with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), and SSc spectrum conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can a range of healthcare professionals, including non-specialists, use the capillaroscopy image acquisition system to take high quality images that can be used to create a clinical report? - Can the investigators collect user and patient feedback on the usability of the capillaroscopy system, to help develop the software and to develop the clinical report - Which microscope light source, from four different light wavelengths is better to see the blood vessels in skin with more melanin content. Participants will be asked to attend a single clinic visit where they will undergo a brief, non-invasive nailfold capillaroscopy examination, using the software-guided capillaroscopy system. Participants and rheumatology healthcare professionals will be invited to take part in one or more focus groups and interviews, to collect feedback and to contribute to the development of the image acquisition software and the clinical report.
This Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) for Gene Therapy of Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency-I (LAD-I) is a continuation of a Phase 1/2 clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the infusion of autologous hematopoietic stem cells transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding the ITGB2 gene
