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 investigators aim to evaluate the fixation of the ankle syndesmosis in appropriate ankle fractures with bioabsorbable screws. Ankle fractures are common, and a proportion of them involve both fracture of the bone and also disruption of the syndesmosis, a strong ligamentous complex connecting the distal fibula and tibia. If left without fixation this causes a high incidence of pain and early arthritis. The most common technique for fixation of this syndesmosis involves the use of the same type of metal screws used to fix the fractured bones. As the syndesmosis permits small degrees of movement in normal subjects, fixation of this with metal usually leads to screw breakage and, or pain. It is common practice to remove these screws after a period of time once the syndesmosis has healed in the correct position. Bioabsorbable screws have the advantage of allowing small increments of movement, and also resorb naturally therefore do not have to be removed with a second surgical procedure. They are used in other centres worldwide, and the investigators therefore seek to evaluate syndesmosis fixation with them in their unit. The investigators would aim to recruit patients who have a syndesmotic injury requiring fixation, and who can consent to participating. They would undergo an identical surgical procedure to the standard current practice, apart from using a bioabsorbable screw in exchange for the metallic screw for syndesmosis fixation. All other components would remain unchanged, as would post operative protocol and management. To evaluate the fixation the investigators would use a limited CT scan (equivalent of about 3 months background radiation) after the time of fixation and at one year. This will help to assess the maintenance of reduction of the syndesmosis with time. The investigators would also assess patient reported outcome measures and pain scores, length of procedure and intraoperative radiation levels, weight bearing distribution tests, as well as any complication that may arise.
This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of obexelimab for the prevention of flare of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD)
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a collective term for a group of diseases where the lungs become scarred causing breathlessness. This research project will assess if remote digital monitoring of frequent spirometry and pulse oximetry can provide an additional way to monitor ILD and provide information to support virtual consultations. Outcomes in the remote monitoring group will be compared with usual care alone over 12 months. Patients taking part will be randomly allocated to remote digital monitoring or to usual care (with an equal chance of either). Remote monitoring will be performed using an app provided by patientMpower Ltd which patients will be able to download onto a smartphone or tablet. The study team will provide a spirometer and oximeter for patients to measure their lung function (spirometry) and oxygen saturations. These devices link to the app via Bluetooth to record all measurements. Patients will be asked to do these measurements three times a week. Clinical teams will be asked to review all measurements at least once a fortnight. Health outcomes will be described and compared between the two groups.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD6793 suspension following oral administration of Single Ascending Dose (SAD) [Part 1] and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) [Part 2] in healthy subjects. Additionally, the study will include Part 3 (bioavailability and food effect cohort) to assess the relative oral bioavailability between film-coated tablet and oral suspension (reference formulation) as well as the effect of a high fat high calorie (HFHC) meal on the PK of AZD6793 film-coated tablet, in comparison to fasting conditions, after a single oral dose of AZD6793 in healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending doses of ALN-TTRSC04.
Current virus detection methods often take significant time or can be limited in sensitivity, specificity or cost. There is therefore a need for diagnostic methods that are simple to use, sensitive, rapid and inexpensive. This is a proof of concept study to determine whether the OxDx system (a new a rapid pathogen identification technology) is able to detect and differentiate different viruses from nasopharyngeal swabs/aspirate specimens. The data collected will be used to "train" the algorithms to be able to accurately identify respiratory viruses. The accuracy with which the algorithms estimate the test dataset will be monitored at regular intervals during the training dataset collection period. The OxDx system is still under development, which means that it is still "learning". The system needs to see more information so that it can be sufficiently accurate to be used in clinical practice and should become more accurate in identifying these viruses as it sees more and more information from patients. This study will take place at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and aims to recruit 1000 patients. To do this, we will recruit both adults and children who either present to the emergency department or are admitted to QAH with a clinical suspicion of a respiratory viral infection. All participants will have a nose and/or throat swab taken as part of their clinical assessment, and we would ask to take a further nasal swab for the purpose of the study. Research sampling will be combined with routine clinical samples where possible to reduce the frequency of testing. We will use most of the information to teach the system how to become more accurate at identifying respiratory viruses. We will keep the remaining information separate and use it to test how accurate the system is. All of the data will be kept securely. Basic information will be collected including age, gender, results of blood tests taken for clinical review, treatment and outcome data. No results from the swabs taken for the purpose of the study will be available to either the participant or the clinical team and the information will have no effect on patient care.
The purpose of the study is to examine efficacy and safety of epcoritamab with and without lenalidomide in newly diagnosed elderly patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who cannot tolerate anthracycline therapy. Epcoritamab (also known as EPKINLY™, GEN3013 and DuoBody®-CD3xCD20) is an antibody that has already been tested in several clinical studies. All patients will receive active treatment. There is an equal chance of receiving epcoritamab or epcoritamab plus lenalidomide.
The main objective of the study is to determine whether fully closed-loop insulin delivery using ultra-rapid acting insulin lispro will improve glucose control compared to standard lispro under conditions mimicking missed meal bolus. Ultra-rapid acting lispro (Lyumjev) is a novel formulation of insulin lispro in which two additional excipients (citrate and trepostinil) have been added, resulting in accelerated initial absorption and more than double the glucose lowering effect in the first 30 minutes after subcutaneous administration using insulin pump. To date, no randomised controlled trial involving fully closed-loop in type 1 diabetes has been performed to evaluate the benefit of Lyumjev over standard lispro. This is an open-label, single-centre, two-period, randomised, crossover study. The study involves two 12-hour in-patient stays at the clinical research facility during which glucose levels will be controlled by the Cambridge closed-loop system with either Lyumjev or standard lispro. Up to 26 adults with type 1 diabetes treated with insulin pump will be recruited at Manchester Royal Infirmary, aiming for 19 completed participants. During the study days, closed-loop will automatically modulate insulin infusion rate based on real-time glucose sensor measurements. Participants will receive standardised meals with no meal bolus for the lunch time meal during each study day. Primary outcome is the time spent in sensor glucose range (3.9-10.0mmol/l) between 11:00 - 17:00 hrs. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, and other sensor-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises assessment of the frequency of hypo and hyperglycaemic episodes.
