Current Trials at TCTU

GREAT-2 is a clinical trial to test a new treatment for bronchiectasis. Full information can be found on our website.

In Setup

The purpose of this study is to investigate how often different types of pneumonia occur in people admitted to hospital and how often an infection of a specific bacterium occurs.

Recruiting

This study will collect cancer tissue samples from people with oesophageal and gastroesophageal cancer. The cancer tissue will be analysed to see if it is possible to find any neoantigens (cancer cell markers) and determine the profile of neoantigens in each person’s tumour.

Recruiting

This study is part of a major programme of research, called the Advanced Pain Discovery Platform - APDP. The programme is looking to understand the causes of chronic pain and improve the lives of people who have pain conditions

In Setup

To determine if intravenous treatment with alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor reduces sputum neutrophil elastase activity in patients with bronchiectasis.

Recruiting

The purpose of this trial is to test if using fluorescent dye tracer on its own, without blue dye or radioactive tracer, is as good as using two tracers at the same time.

In follow up

Pneumowave have designed a wearable respiratory monitoring device. This is worn by people who use drugs (PWUD) and connected to a blue tooth ‘hub’. The hub records their breathing patterns and can be used to detect events requiring an emergency response.

Recruiting

Evaluation of a Community Pharmacy-Based Testing Method for People with Diabetes Compared to Standard Care Laboratory-Based Testing

Recruiting

Investigating visual & histological changes in healthy volunteer skin from single & repetitive exposure to Far-UVC light.

Recruiting

Developing strategies for Hepatitis C in Ethiopia.

Ongoing

Research to test the effectiveness of an inhaled antibiotic, Cayston, on bronchiectasis.

Preparing to restart

Investigating risk/benefit ratio of inhaled corticosteroids in people with COPD with low eosinophilic counts.

In Analysis

Evaluation of Hepatitis C treatments in NHS Tayside in order to empirically test the 'treatment as prevention' models.

In Analysis

Evaluating the population impact of Hepatitis C direct-acting antiviral treatment as prevention for people who inject drugs.

In Analysis

Examining the mechanism of inhaled corticosteroids associated with pneumonia in patients with COPD.

In Analysis

Comparing the clinical effectiveness of FireWire archwires to Copper Nickel Titanium archwires for orthodontic treatment.

In Analysis

Development and feasibility study to compare cue-based versus scheduled feeding for preterm infants transitioning from tube to oral feeding in neonatal units.
