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 purpose of this study is to compare the disease-free survival between participants receiving treatment with TAR-210 versus investigator's choice of intravesical chemotherapy for treatment of intermediate-risk NMIBC.
This is an observational study in which only data from babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who are being treated with aflibercept (Eylea) in prefilled syringe (PFS) using a paediatric dosing device (PDD) are collected and studied. ROP is a condition that affects the eyes of preterm babies. It occurs when the baby's retina, the part of the eye that senses light, does not develop normally. This may result in vision problems, including blindness, if left untreated. Preterm babies are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. ROP is more likely to develop in babies who are born before 32 weeks of pregnancy or weigh less than 1.5 kilograms at birth. Aflibercept is a drug that is injected into the eye. It works by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which causes abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina. Aflibercept in PFS given using a PDD is approved for the treatment of babies with ROP. The prefilled syringe will be fitted with an injection needle to give aflibercept. And a PDD is a tool used to give the right amount of aflibercept to children in a safe manner. Since there are other treatments which are commonly used for babies with ROP, the extent of use of aflibercept given using a PDD is unknown. The main purpose of this study is to: - find the number of preterm babies who are treated with aflibercept using a PDD in the UK - inform whether this number is enough to perform a study to learn about the long-term safety of aflibercept given using a PDD in babies with ROP An additional purpose of this study is to describe characteristics including age, sex, and race, and signs and symptoms of ROP observed in babies being treated with aflibercept using a PDD. The data will come from a database called the National Neonatal Research Database. The study will cover the period from March 2024 to March 2025, if the number of babies found is enough to perform the safety study. If not, data will be collected till April 2027. In this study only available data from preterm babies born during the study period are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
Testing a questionnaire about treatment with steroids for skin, lung or gastric conditions
This is a multicenter, non-interventional study to observe the natural progression of the disease and to study the prevalence of pre-existing antibodies to AAV9 used for gene therapy in a population of patients with PKP2 gene-associated ARVC. Participation from all patients is encouraged regardless of interest in or eligibility for gene therapy.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of intrastromal implantation of the Allotex TransForm corneal allograft (TCA) for providing near vision in presbyopic subjects. A maximum of 101 eyes of qualified and consented subjects will undergo long term follow-up after instrastromal implantation of the TCA for presbyopia.
The Investigators have developed a camera based drill guidance system to improve the accuracy of surgical drilling. The aim of the study is to assess: Accuracy in vivo Safety Acceptability of use amongst surgeons and theatre staff
THERATEST is looking to collect data from 30 patients actively receiving de-escalation treatments or other standard of care treatments in two UK hospitals. THERATEST is a feasibility study to determine whether patients are willing to be recruited, the impact of de-escalation treatments on patients' cancers and quality of life, whether we should proceed with these treatments in a larger study, and if so how the study should be conducted. A feasibility study prepares the ground for a larger study and improves the chances of the subsequent study producing valuable evidence, and helps to avoid wasting precious resources on larger trials that are unlikely to be informative. We hope that information from THERATEST will bridge the current knowledge gap and allow clinicians to design bigger trials to actively compare the different treatment strategies.
Infective Endocarditis is an infection, usually a bacterium, which attacks the heart and can cause valves to leak and produces a bacterial mass which can break off from the valves and block the blood supply to important organs. We are very keen to improve the treatment of this disease and we are measuring the impact of the treatments that we give to patients so that we have a very clear idea of which treatments work best and also which treatments are less successful. A key part of the treatment is the accurate determination of the causative organism which allows appropriate targeted antibiotic and antifungal medication to be administered. Accurate antibiotic regimes require detection of the causative organism and its sensitivities to each antibiotic. Antibiotic choice is then based on effectiveness, toxicity, ease of use and national guidelines. The current best technique for identifying bacteria is blood culture where organisms are identified by growing them from blood samples. However, this takes up to 5 days from sampling, resulting in delays to the correct diagnosis. Until this time, treatment requires the use of generic, more toxic antibiotic regimes. New techniques are emerging to identify causative organisms from blood. Metagenomics allows the sequencing of bacterial DNA allowing precise identification of the infecting organism.
The aim of this Phase 2a study in patients with MDD is to assess safety and tolerability and preliminary antidepressant efficacy.
With this trial, the aim is to assess the benefits and harms of a non-surgical intensive weight loss intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with bariatric surgery for people with severe and complex obesity. The interpretation of the results will help inform future care pathways for people with obesity in whom bariatric surgery is currently the only available effective treatment option.
