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 Delphi study is to identify priority outcomes for self-management in earlier (non-dialysis) stages of CKD from the perspectives of different stakeholder groups in the UK. The findings of this study will be used to inform outcome measure selection for research and clinical evaluations of self-management resources and to support implementation, commissioning and uptake.
Researchers at the University of Bath are investigating the metabolism of individuals with extreme body size, including those with skeletal dysplasia (commonly known as dwarfism), to manage health risks such as heart disease. By better understanding how body size could change how the body processes food, or how being bigger or smaller may influence eating habits, healthy living guidelines to tackle issues such as obesity and overweight in these populations can be improved. With help from expertise in the psychology field, this research will also investigate whether the mental health of these individuals has been affected by their size. On the whole, this study will involve one 24-hour visit to a research laboratory at the University of Bath, followed by a 2-week monitoring period to capture 'normal' physical activity and eating routines.
MAGNETO is a single-centre, non-randomised, open label Phase I clinical trial of an Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Product (ATIMP) in children and teenagers aged 1-16 years with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. The study will assess the feasibility of generating the ATIMP (GD2 CAR T cells) and the safety of administering the ATIMP in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
This study is open to adults with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The study is in people with advanced cancer that had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and are eligible to receive topotecan treatment. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 that people can tolerate when taken together with topotecan. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants get BI 764532 and topotecan as infusions into a vein. As an alternative, topotecan may also be taken orally (tablets). Participants may continue to take BI 764532 as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, participants visit the study site regularly. The visits also depend on the response to the treatment. At the study visits, the doctors check the health of the participants, take necessary laboratory tests, and note any health problems that could have been caused by the study treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 24 weeks of lebrikizumab in improving disease severity, signs, and symptoms in adults and adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
SOPRANO is a multi-centre, randomised phase II trial which aims to assess the impact of Stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) and continuing treatment with a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) for patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinoma. SOPRANO will also establish the feasibility and acceptability of delivering SBRT in this setting.
The goal of this prospective multi-centre randomised controlled trial is to determine if addition of awake prone positioning to standard oxygen, high flow oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation may reduce the rates of endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.
Currently, there are few opportunities for patients with cancer to have individual exercise guidance, and this has further been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, during the pandemic the use of virtual/remote platforms has been crucial in delivering care to cancer patients. The investigators think that remote exercise training may also offer a solution to support positive change in prostate cancer patients. As a result, the investigators have developed a remote/online exercise programme to explore this further. This study will explore the effectiveness of an 8-week remote exercise and behavioural support intervention, and whether prostate cancer patients feel they benefit from this. The study also aims to see if this sort of exercise programme can be delivered to more prostate cancer patients in the future. This project is open to men with prostate cancer on long term hormone therapy. The intervention will be comprised of one remote supervised session per week, completed 1-1 using an online platform and up to two additional sessions, depending on its suitability for the patient, will be prescribed as unsupervised home-based exercise.
Introduction: Non-CF, non-PCD bronchiectasis in children is a chronic, suppurative lung disease diagnosed by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging of the lungs. Spirometry can be abnormal in bronchiectasis but has been shown to be insensitive to early disease in other related conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Lung clearance index (LCI) could have a role in assessment of the disease. Lung clearance index is calculated from multiple breath washout tests. There are limited data on the normative values expected using some devices, in a range of ages, and between ethnic groups. The investigators aim to establish normative values in children aged between 6 years and 12 years, to investigate differences between ethnic groups, and to establish the relationship between lung clearance index and other measures of disease in children with bronchiectasis. Methods: Healthy children will be recruited from a range of settings and reviewed to ensure no previous lung disease. Children with bronchiectasis diagnosed on HRCT will be recruited from the outpatient service of Birmingham Children's Hospital. All participants will perform lung function tests including LCI and spirometry. Basic demographic data was collected.
This is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational RNA-based multivalent vaccine candidate BNT166a for active immunization against monkeypox (mpox). This trial will start with the two substudies, i.e., substudy A (SSA) and substudy B (SSB). This trial will be initiated with the dose-escalation SSA. In substudy A and substudy B, dosing will start with an initial sentinel group, followed by the expansion cohort. This study was initially planned to investigate two vaccine candidates (the quadrivalent BNT166a and the trivalent BNT166c). The sponsor decided to not activate the groups with BNT166c.
