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.
Transient mild hypothermia (core body temperature 35-32°C) is common and usually without consequences for the brain or other organs. However, prolonged severe accidental hypothermia (core body temperature below 28°C) due to accidents is rare, and usually fatal in more than 50% of cases. Little is known on its physiopathology, on prognostic factors for rewarming decision or ideal rewarming techniques for better survival. Furthermore, complications after successful rewarming are extremely frequent and very often severe or fatal. Accidental hypothermia is a frequent problem during the winter months and can be caused by snow sport accidents, near drowning and urban cold exposure. The International Hypothermia Registry's principle goal is to increase knowledge on accidental hypothermia by creating the largest database on accidental hypothermia which will comprise enough patient data to give a statistical power since the causes of accidental hypothermia and its treatment varies greatly. The International Hypothermia Registry (IHR) will enable improvement of pre- and in-hospital treatment and rewarming methods, study survival predictors and prevention of post-rewarming complications. By this way, the IHR will permit the establishment of evidence-based diagnosis and treatment guidelines.
The study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (inactive substance that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.
The investigators want to study how wearable devices can help track health changes in people when they are not feeling well. Normally, clinicians compare someone's vital signs, like heart rate, to average ranges from healthy folks. But what if clinicians compare these signs to the person's own normal when they were well? The investigators aim to check if wearable sensors can make this possible for many people. The investigators will look at heart rate differences when someone is admitted to the hospital compared to their stable days before. The investigators will see how their daily steps change a week before getting sick. This global study involves adults in emergency or acute care. Participation poses no risks, burdens, or immediate benefits to patients.
This study is being done to learn about etavopivat, a once a day medicine taken by mouth in adolescents with sickle cell disease. The main goals are to study safety and how long etavopivat stays in the bloodstream, while also studying if there are benefits from taking etavopivat. Eligible participants who enter the study will start a 96-week treatment period. At the end of the 96 weeks, participants will have an end of study visit that occurs 4 weeks later. The participants will receive etavopivat every day throughout the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of verekitug (UPB-101) in participants with severe asthma. The study will evaluate the incidence of asthma exacerbations, other pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters such as lung function and asthma control, and the safety and tolerability of verekitug (UPB-101) compared to placebo.
The underlying disease mechanisms which occur in patients with immune mediation neurological diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), are incompletely understood. For such patients, autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) has been increasingly used as a highly successful one-off treatment for some patients. This treatment aims to delete the faulty immune system with a course of chemotherapy and then 'reboot' the immune system using a patients' own stem cells (a cell with the unique ability of being a building block to create many different cells in the body) to stop further damage. Over the last 20 years more than 1800 patients with MS have been treated in Europe with high levels of success. It may be more successful than disease modifying treatment but unfortunately, a small portion of people do not respond to this treatment optimally and continue to accumulate disability. There is a risk of side effects, restricted largely to the time of treatment, which necessitates the need to ensure appropriate patients are treated. Whilst aHSCT is a very effective therapy, it is still in its early phase of development, is not in widespread use, and there is incomplete knowledge regarding how it works and importantly, why it does not work in some patients, and how to monitor response to treatment. Unfortunately, there is no way of detecting which patients will, and will not, benefit from the different treatments available or a way of monitoring the immune system to ensure further treatment is provided before irreversible damage occurs. This study will investigate the immune system which is found in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, blood and stool of patients undergoing aHSCT and compare it to those receiving disease modifying treatment. This study will therefore further the understanding of biomarkers of aHSCT to develop an awareness of how it can be refined, may improve monitoring of patients following treatment and permit the development of markers which can predict potential treatment success or failure before patients are exposed to the risks.
This is a dose-escalation open-label Phase 1/2a study. The purpose of this first-in-human study is to assess the safety and tolerability of LEU011 (autologous CAR T cells targeting NKG2D ligands) in patients with solid tumours.
The Phase 2a Evolution study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the OWL-EV1 Probe Breath Biopsy Test to differentiate between individuals with lung cancer and relevant contrast groups. The contrast groups will be representative of the clinical populations in which the test is intended to be used. Thus, Evolution Phase 2a will be designed as a cross-sectional, case-control trial that will be conducted at various sites, both in the UK and EU.
This is an international, multi-center, randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study, designed to assess the effect of EryDex (dexamethasone sodium phosphate [DSP] in autologous erythrocytes), administered by intravenous (IV) infusion once every 28 days, on neurological symptoms of patients with Ataxia Telangectasia (A-T).
This study is testing a drug called TenoMiR that is being developed for the treatment of tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). The study drug is a new compound that works by improving the quality of the collagen which helps repair damage to the elbow. The study drug is being developed in the hope of providing a more reliable treatment than those currently available and can be given at the time of first diagnosis, so that recovery can begin as soon as possible. The study drug has been tested in humans in an earlier study, and appeared to be safe and well-tolerated. This study aims to test the study drug in a larger number of participants.
