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 goal of this observational study is to learn how accurately blood pressure can be measured using a contactless radar device. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. how does blood pressure measured using radar compare with blood pressure using a cuff in patients with known high blood pressure? 2. how does blood pressure measured using radar compare with invasive blood pressure during a coronary angiogram? 3. can the radar blood pressure machine be used to measure blood pressuring during an MRI scan of the heart? 4. can the radar blood pressure machine be used to measure blood pressure during exercise? Participants in this study will have the following tests: Group 1: blood pressure measured with the radar device and a cuff when resting Group 2: blood pressure measured with the radar device and by placing a small tube inside the arteries of the wrist (during a clinical procedure) Group 3: blood pressure measured with the radar device and a cuff during a cardiac MRI scan Group 4: blood pressure measured with the radar device and a cuff during exercise
Enterally fed adults and children who are assessed by the dietitian as requiring an adult high-energy, fibre-containing enteral formula will be recruited. Data from 15 participants are required in order to submit an application to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) for product registration.
This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect of 1 or 2 mg baxdrostat versus placebo, administered once daily (QD) orally, on the reduction of systolic blood pressure in approximately 720 participants aged ≥ 18 years with hypertension, despite a stable regimen of 2 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (uncontrolled hypertension); or ≥ 3 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (treatment-resistant hypertension).
A two-phase, observational trial in an exercise laboratory and a prospective real-world setting to test the hypothesis that The Libre Sense Glucose Sport device has acceptable accuracy in people with normal glucose tolerance and comparable accuracy in the range of 3.0 to 11mmol/L to clinically approved CGM in people with type 1 diabetes.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Zoles customised 3D-printed insoles to mitigate running-related pain among frequent recreational runners who participate in regular Park Run activities. All participants will have their feet scanned, after which half of the participants will be provided with customised 3D-printed insoles, while the other half will receive no intervention.
This is a study of amlitelimab for the treatment of participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. The study will have a double-blind treatment period until Week 24 for each participant and an open-label treatment period where each participant will receive open-label amlitelimab from Week 24 onwards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of amlitelimab for the treatment of adult participants with moderate-to-severe asthma who have previously been enrolled and completed the treatment period of the parent study. The study duration will be up to 156 weeks. The treatment duration will be up to 144 weeks. The number of visits will be 18.
The main aims of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and food effects of RV299 compared to Placebo in healthy adult participants. The study consists of three parts: single ascending dose (Part A), multiple ascending doses (Part B) and food effect (Part C) in Caucasian participants.
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease which causes severe bowel inflammation resulting in babies becoming critically unwell. It mainly affects premature babies (who can be born as early as 22 weeks) in the first few weeks of life. A quarter of babies don't respond to intensive care treatment and require surgery to remove bowel which has died to prevent them from getting sicker. Sadly, about a third of the most unwell babies don't survive and those that do have a high incidence of significant long-term health problems. Deciding which babies will benefit from surgery is challenging and there are no objective methods used to do this currently. Surgeons must weigh up the risks and benefits of performing major surgery on a tiny baby in the knowledge that surgery itself may cause harm. This uncertainty causes delays in performing surgery. Those that have a delay are more likely to have a poor outcome. In order to improve these unfavourable outcomes it is essential to understand and define current practice in detail (i.e. indications and timing for surgery) and understand how this may be associated with outcome. These outcomes are both short term, including mortality and ability to tolerate enteral nutrition, and long term which include neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years of life. To do this the investigators will undertake a multicentre mixed methods study with qualitative interview of consultant paediatric surgeons shortly after making a decision to operate, or not, on a baby with NEC. The investigators will then take consent from the parents/guardian of the infant to follow-up their clinical outcomes using data linkage to routinely collected data, within the national neonatal research database. Outcomes of interest include survival, feeding outcomes, further surgical procedures and neurodevelopment at 2 years.
The primary research question to be answered in this project is "Are patients with locally-advanced head and neck cancer able to tolerate a PET-MRI scan when they are immobilised in a radiotherapy treatment shell?" This will be assessed by measuring the proportion of patients that complete the full scanning protocol and by obtaining participant feedback on their experience of completing the scan. The secondary question is "Can a PET-MRI scan fused with a planning CT scan improve the accuracy in radiotherapy planning of patients with head and neck cancer? Accuracy will be assessed by: 1. Comparing the radiotherapy target volumes and radiotherapy plans with and without the use of a PET-MRI scan. 2. Comparing inter- and intra-observer variability in treatment contours with and without the use of a PET-MRI scan within and between oncologists and implications of that.
1 in 7 babies require neonatal care. During their time in hospital their vital signs (such as heart rate, breathing rate and oxygen saturation) are continuously monitored as part of standard care. Many factors lead to changes in vital signs, for example, medical procedures such as blood tests can result in brief increases in heart rate. Medication can also alter vital signs, either as an intended effect or as a side effect. However, different infants will respond in different ways to both procedures and medication. Predicting how an individual infant may respond could lead to better individualised care for infants. For example, using an infant's baseline vital signs to predict whether they will experience cardiorespiratory side effects from a particular drug could mean that doctors could choose an alternative safer treatment plan. To develop these predictive models, it is essential to first better understand how infants' vital signs are affected by different procedures and drugs, and how these effects are impacted by other factors such as infection, other pathologies, interaction between drugs and age. Despite their routine use in hospital neonatal units, detailed electronic records of vital signs are often not recorded. Often, only major events or average values are stated on clinical records. Subtle changes in vital signs are therefore missed, and more complex analysis that may reveal important predictive features within the data is not possible. In this study the investigators will electronically record infant vital signs across longer time periods and during a variety of clinically-necessary procedures and administration of drugs, to explore how these impact vital signs and are altered by factors such as age and pathology. These will be compared with control procedures, such as a nappy change, or when the infant is resting in their cot or receiving skin-to-skin care.
