Multi-Country, Cross-Sectional Study to Characterize Real-World Burden of Disease in Adolescent and Adult Patients with Alopecia Areata, Vitiligo, or Hidradenitis Suppurativa (MEASURE AAVitHS)

This study is a cross-sectional, multi-country, observational study involving Adolescent and Adult Patients with Alopecia Areata (AA), Vitiligo, or Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) in real-world clinical practice. Both patient-reported and physician-reported outcomes will be documented. Alopecia areata (AA) is a condition that causes patchy hair loss, typically on the scalp, but can also affect other areas such as the eyebrows, beard, or body hair. It’s an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to sudden hair ...

A Multicenter, OBSERVational Study in PatiEnts with Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (OBSERVE)

KRIYA-825-901(OBSERVE) is an observational study of participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA), which is an advance form of age-related macular degeneration. This is a 2-part study run in parallel to the First in Human KRIYA-825-101(VISION) open label study, designed to test how safe, tolerable and effective a gene therapy (VV-14295) is at treating GA. In part 1 of this study investigators review potential participants’ medical charts and retrospective eye examination records since 2022 to determine if they are eligible for the KRIYA-825-101 study. ...

JOURNEY: J-Valve to treat aortic regurgitation via transcatheter therapy (JOURNEY)

Aortic regurgitation (AR) occurs in approximately 0.4% of all adults, in 1% of individuals aged 65-74 years and 2% of individuals over 70 years of age. Symptomatic patients with chronic severe AR have a poor prognosis and should therefore undergo surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) per current guidelines. SAVR is an open-heart surgery that necessitates the use of cardiopulmonary bypass as well as cardiac arrest. This extensive intervention, performed under general anesthesia, can jeopardize vital organ functions, particularly in older patients, potentially ...

PsO-Diet: Qualitative Exploration for Psoriasis Weight-Management Research

Background Psoriasis affects two million people in the UK. People with obesity are more likely to develop psoriasis, have more severe symptoms, and respond less well to treatment. Losing weight can improve psoriasis, and doctors are advised to suggest this, but few do. Our patient collaborators were unaware of the link between psoriasis and carrying excess weight. People with psoriasis believe what they eat is important but often feel that their doctors do not have the answers to their questions. Aim To ...

A Phase 2, Global, Multicenter, Long-term Safety Study Designed to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of BHV-7000 in Subjects with Refractory Focal Onset Epilepsy (BHV7000-201)

This is a Phase 2, global, multicenter, long-term safety study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000 in participants with focal refractory epilepsy. Approximately 660 eligible subjects will enter this study after completing the DBP of either the BHV7000-302 or BHV7000- 303 studies. In the opinion of the investigator, subjects must have tolerated BHV7000/placebo, during participation in the DBP of the parent studies, BHV7000-302 or BHV7000-303 to be eligible. Eligible subjects who completed the DBP of the BHV7000-302 study will ...

NanO2 in Large VEssEL Occlusion Stroke (NOVEL): a multicentre single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled blinded biomarker end-point clinical trial of perfluorocarbon in acute ischaemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion

This is an National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) clinical trial aiming to investigate a possible new treatment to limit damage to the brain caused by a stroke. Strokes that are caused by a clot blocking an artery in the brain (‘ischaemic’ strokes) starve brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Over a short period of time without oxygen, this tissue becomes permanently damaged. We are investigating the effects of a drug that carries extra oxygen, called ...

Efficacy of the COronary SInus Reducer in Patients with Refractory Angina II (COSIRA-II)

This study is designed for the patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who experience severe chest pain (refractory angina) despite taking the best available medications. These patients also have evidence of reversible Ischemia (reduced blood flow), but they are considered high-risk or unsuitable for heart surgery or other currently available medical procedures aimed at restoring blood flow (revascularization procedures). A heart team, including specialists such as cardiologists and surgeons, helps determine their eligibility for the study. Shockwave Medical, Inc. has developed ...

Systematic Assessment for the Medical Utility of Radiology Artificial Intelligence – Prospective Evaluation (SAMURAI-Pro)

Prospective cluster randomised cross-over trial We will conduct a prospective cluster randomised cross-over trial (ABAB/BABA) to assess the impact of an AI fracture detection tool in EDs and MIUs in the UK. The trial will involve installing a CE-approved AI algorithm at each site for six months. Sites will be randomly assigned to begin the trial with the AI algorithm either active ("On") or inactive ("Off") during the first month. Thereafter,the algorithm status will alternate each ...

TBI-REPORTER Prospective Proof of Principle Study (3P Study)

The 3P project is the foundational study of the TBI-REPORTER Experimental Medicine Network. It will establish the standardisation of protocols for collaborative research within TBI-REPORTER, and demonstrate the feasibility of recruitment and delivery across multiple TBI research centres. The data and samples that emerge in this protocol will allow us to carry out exploratory pilot analyses to allow the rational design of future interventional studies. Thus, the project has the potential to improve current health care and its delivery at ...

Observational pilot study of the diagnostic potential of a rapid point-of-care blood test in detecting sepsis in an Emergency Department (ED) setting

Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency that happens when your body's response to an infection damages vital organs which can often lead to death. In the UK, there are about 245,000 sepsis cases leading to around 48,000 deaths each year, making it a leading cause of death in the UK. Despite considerable recent progress, detecting sepsis in the Emergency Department (ED) remains a challenge. Paramedics and ED doctors often miss signs of sepsis, with the current National Early Warning Score which is ...
