Motor Neurone Disease - Systematic Multi-Arm Adaptive Randomised Trial
MND-SMART is investigating whether selected drugs can slow down the progression of motor neuron disease (MND) and improve survival. The study is 'multi-arm' meaning more than one...
Digital App for Speech & Health Monitoring
Many people living with neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, motor neuron disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease (PD), suffer from speech problems....
Mechanisms of Myocardial Injury and Ischemia in Patients With Rapid Atrial Fibrillation
The goal of this observational study is to better understand the role of measuring troponin (a protein measured by a blood test) and coronary imaging in patients presenting with...
Symptomatic and Systemic Atherosclerotic Plaque Activity in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Using Novel...
The goal of this observational study is to characterise the relationships between inflammation, microcalcification and thrombus activity in atherosclerotic plaques in peripheral...
Fibrosis in Chronic and Delayed Myocardial Infarction
In this study the investigators aim to examine the role that fibrosis plays in heart conditions such as aortic stenosis , chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and carcinoid...
Non-invasive Coronary Thrombus Imaging to Define These Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify...
Medical Phenotyping of NHS General Adult Psychiatry (GAP) Inpatients
This observational study will characterise the general psychiatric and general medical phenotypes of 100 adults, sequentially admitted to NHS General Adult Psychiatry (GAP)...
MEMRI and Kidney Disease
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and costly.1 Although patients who suffer an episode of AKI may recover, many will go on to develop cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney...
PET Assessment of Disease Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in ANCA-associated Vasculitis
Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a severe autoimmune condition characterised by inflammation of small blood vessels. The condition causes...
Investigating Management, Perspectives and Attitudes Towards Care in Takayasu Arteritis
This study aims to understand the experiences of patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK) and how physicians manage the condition. To achieve this, two separate questionnaires will...
Tight Control of Gouty Arthritis Compared to Usual Care
Gout is caused by a reaction to urate crystals that results in attacks of severe joint pain. Medicines that lower urate levels can prevent gout flares, however it takes time for...
Remote Monitoring of Asthma in Children and Young People
The objective of this study is to determine whether healthcare data and remotely collected patient data can accurately predict asthma attacks in children and young people aged...
