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.
Double-blind, randomized, cross-over trial involving 20 participants with bronchiectasis. This trial will make an important contribution to therapeutic development in bronchiectasis by determining whether alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) therapy results in reduced airway inflammation and improves neutrophil function. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive Prolastin-C 120mg/kg (n=10 patients) by weekly intravenous infusions, Prolastin-C 180mg/kg (n=10 patients) by weekly intravenous infusions or placebo (0.9% saline) for a period of 4 weeks, followed by a 3-5 week washout period and a further 4 weeks during which patients will cross-over to receive the alternative therapy.
This is a multi-center, randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of batoclimab in adult participants with active CIDP. The study includes an up to 4-week Screening Period, an up to 12-week Washout Period, a 12-week Randomized Treatment Period (Period 1), an up to 24-week Randomized Withdrawal Period (Period 2), an up to 52-week Long-term Extension (LTE) Period (optional), and Safety Follow-up 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. The total study duration will be up to approximately 109 weeks. Eligible participants will be assigned to one of four cohorts based upon their baseline CIDP treatment (Cohorts A and D - immunoglobulin [Ig] or plasma exchange [PLEX]; Cohort B - corticosteroids; Cohort C - naive or untreated in previous 3-24 months) and whether they meet diagnosis according to the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) criteria (Cohorts A, B, and C) or clinical criteria only (Cohort D) at the time of screening.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, international, Phase 3 study in patients with newly diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma to assess whether treatment with ONC201 following frontline radiotherapy will extend overall survival and progression-free survival in this population. Eligible participants will have histologically diagnosed H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma and have completed standard frontline radiotherapy.
Survivors of critical illness commonly experience long-lasting cognitive, mental health and physical impairments. Clinically significant symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may occur in 40%, 34% and 20% of ICU survivors respectively, compared to 6%, 8% and 4% in the general population. These symptoms can persist for more than 8 years. Evidence shows the existence of a two-way, communication network between gut microbes and the brain referred to as the gut-brain axis. Changes in the microbiome and dysregulation of this communication network in relatively healthy people is associated with cognitive dysfunction and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. The physiological stress associated with critical illness itself and many ICU interventions including the use of mechanical ventilation and medications such as antibiotics, antacids, vasopressors, and steroids can influence the balance of the gut microbiome and associated metabolites. This observation study aims to: 1. Quantify and measure dynamic changes in the gut microbiome and its metabolites during critical illness and recovery. 2. Explore the associations between microbiome and metabolomic changes during critical illness and psychological symptoms in the patient during their recovery. This knowledge will provide the potential to create interventions that alter the gut environment and microbiome both during and following a critical illness in order to reduce long-term adverse psychological effects. Examples of such potential interventions include dietary modifications with the use of prebiotics or probiotics.
The aims of this Discoid Meniscus (DiMe) project are to analyze DM tears characteristics in the pediatric European population to describe current treatment options in symptomatic DM, and to evaluate clinical outcomes. To reach these objectives, a prospective database including symptomatic DM and variables associated with DM characteristics, type of tears, treatment, imaging, and clinical follow-up will be implemented. Data collection platform will provide future studies to understand the best treatment option for skeletally immature patient with symptomatic DM according to their history and lesion characteristics.
Total knee replacements are operations that are offered to patients who have severe arthritis pain that is affecting daily activities that is no longer controlled with painkillers. The operation will replace the worn joints with metal implants and a plastic spacer. Total knee replacements are successful operations in the vast majority of patients. However, a small minority of patients are not entirely satisfied with the outcome of their knee replacement. Researchers are studying whether the precise positioning of the implant has an effect on the outcome. This study will look at whether patient-specific instrumentation improves implant position and if it leads to improved patient function so that we know what to recommend in the future.
A multi-national multidisciplinary team will be working collaboratively to build a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between preterm infant distress states in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
This is a double-blind, randomized phase 3 multicenter placebo-controlled study in at least 16 evaluable male participants diagnosed with MCT8 deficiency. Male participants, from 4 years of age (at randomization) and having demonstrated stable maintenance treatment with tiratricol, will be randomized to receive placebo or tiratricol for 30 days or until reaching rescue criterion (serum total triiodothyronine [T3] > upper limit of normal [ULN] of the participant's normal range, for a sample collected during the 30-day Randomized Treatment Period). The research hypothesis to be tested is that, for participants in the placebo group, removal of tiratricol will lead to an increase of serum total T3 concentration, measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), above the ULN and requirement of rescue treatment with tiratricol, compared to those who continue to receive tiratricol.
The aim of this study is to find out whether a new image analysis technique called Cortical Disarray Measurement (CDM) could be used to help better diagnose Alzheimer's disease. This study will see whether changes on CDM can be used to identify Alzheimer's disease from a group of people living with memory and thinking problems. The study will also explore how CDM relates to changes in memory or thinking over time.
B-cell Lymphoma is an aggressive and rare cancer of a type of immune cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). The purpose of this study is to assess the change in disease activity of epcoritamab when combined with intravenous and oral rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) or R-CHOP in adult participants globally with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Change in disease activity will be assessed. Epcoritamab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of DLBCL. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. Participants will receive epcoritamab combined with R-CHOP, followed by epcoritamab or R-CHOP followed by rituximab will be explored. Approximately 900 adult participants with with newly diagnosed DLBCL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 315 sites in globally. In the Arm 1, participants will receive subcutaneous epcoritamab combined with intravenous and oral R-CHOP followed by subcutaneous epcoritamab in 21-day cycles. In the Arm 2, participants will receive intravenous and oral R-CHOP followed by intravenous rituximab in 21-day cycles. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
