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 investigate the effect of retatrutide on renal function in participants with overweight or obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), with or without Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The study will lasts around 31 weeks.
The Early Liver Disease Breath Detection Study is a cross-sectional study where subjects with advanced liver fibrosis will ingest a mixture of food-grade compounds (known as Exogenous Volatile Organic Compound or EVOCs) in the form of an emulsion and then provide multiple breath samples. These EVOCs can be measured on exhaled breath and it has been found that liver diseases can affect the way EVOCs are processed in the body. The objective is to identify if changes in the way these EVOCs are processed in the body can have the potential to diagnose early stage liver diseases for these subjects. Subjects with fibro-scan confirmed fibrosis will be recruited from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) by local research staff, they will be invited to take part in the study at a dedicated clinic at OneNorwich Practises a clinic based in Norwich City Centre. They will be asked to fast overnight then provide a baseline breath sample, before ingesting the food-grade EVOCs emulsion and then providing additional breath samples at subsequent time points up to 90 minutes post ingestion.
The aim is to ascertain whether sustaining an Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury negatively impacts intra-family relationships and increases the risk of mental health conditions, including a women's perception of herself and her self-esteem. Research in this field will ensure that the correct care and adequate support is provided for these patients in the post-natal period and beyond. Recognition of these conditions and the provision of support for these patients may improve relationships, leading to improved parenting and positive outcomes for the child. It ought to be highlighted that the sequelae of obstetric anal sphincter injuries, including anal incontinence, may manifest later on in the female life course and therefore life-long accessibility to help and therapies is advocated for these women.
Although chest infections affect wellbeing and survival in cystic fibrosis (CF), most people with CF also have difficulty digesting food and must take medication for this. In spite of this treatment, two thirds of people with CF miss school or work because of tummy symptoms (pain, bloating and wind). In some cases these symptoms become severe leading to bowel obstruction and hospital admission. Long term, people with CF have a greater risk of bowel cancer. The investigators asked people with CF and health professionals to suggest the most important questions for research. Treatment of gut symptoms was in their top 10 list. Current treatments are often ineffective because the investigators do not fully understand why symptoms occur. GRAMPUS-CF SRC will describe accurately the categories of gut symptoms in CF and find out why they occur. The investigators will do this using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and tests which give a detailed description of the germs in the bowel or which measure inflammation. The investigators will also study the effects of diet, using a questionnaire. The investigators will link these results together, using advanced statistics to find the factors causing gut symptoms. The investigators will then identify treatments which are likely to be helpful. In future work the investigators will test these in clinical trials.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of seralutinib on improving exercise capacity in subjects with WHO Group 1 PAH who are FC II or III. The secondary objective for this trial is to determine time to clinical worsening.
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening gut disease in babies born early. Feeding preterm babies their own mother's milk prevents NEC. Fewer babies in the East Midlands get their own mother's milk than the national average, and more babies get NEC. The East Midlands Neonatal Operational Delivery Network (EMNODN) has created a care bundle to increase own mothers' milk feeding and reduce rates of NEC among babies born more than 8 weeks early, who are at the greatest risk of NEC. The care bundle describes the support that parents can expect to receive to help mothers feed their breastmilk to their babies. It also provides guidelines to help neonatal units ensure babies receive optimum nutritional care. This study will find whether this bundle is effective in helping more babies receive their own mothers' milk and in reducing NEC. It will also identify how well the bundle was introduced and which parts of the bundle were most helpful. The study team will answer these questions by collecting and studying data from babies' medical records.
Multi-centre retrospective observational cohort study with optional exploratory radiomic study (international) and prospective molecular analysis studies (UK only).
To evaluate whether an artificial intelligence decision support software (ArtiQ.Spiro) improves the diagnostic accuracy of spirometry interpreted by primary care clinicians, as measured by Clinician Diagnostic Accuracy (vs Reference Standard).
The purpose of this study is to learn if V940 which is an individualized neoantigen therapy (INT; formerly, called messenger ribonucleic acid [mRNA]-4157) with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) is safe and prevents cancer from returning in people with high-risk melanoma. Researchers want to know if V940 with pembrolizumab is better than receiving pembrolizumab alone at preventing the cancer from returning.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of triheptanoin versus Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCT) on frequency of Major Clinical Events (MCEs).
