This study looks at how well a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) works for removing early-stage cancers in the digestive tract. ESD uses a special knife on a thin tube to cut out abnormal tissue in one piece, avoiding open surgery. Researchers are tracking 5…

This study tests a new technology called Pictura Bio that aims to detect respiratory viruses quickly and cheaply from nose or throat swabs. Researchers will collect samples from 1000 adults and children with suspected viral infections at a UK hospital. The data will be used to tr…

Researchers compare how well different international asthma guidelines agree when diagnosing the condition in adults referred to a specialist lung service. They also check whether extra breathing tests not included in those guidelines, such as impulse oscillometry, detect airway …

This trial evaluates several new technologies designed to diagnose asthma. Researchers will compare these novel devices with standard diagnostic tests in people with asthma, other lung conditions, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if the new methods can accurately identi…

This study is testing a device called Inflammacheck that measures chemicals in a person's breath to see if it can help tell the difference between lung cancer, other lung diseases, and healthy lungs. Researchers will collect breath samples from 140 adults and use AI to build a di…

This study compares two types of gallbladder removal surgery for non-cancerous conditions like gallstones or polyps. About 276 adults will be randomly assigned to either robotic or standard laparoscopic surgery. The main goal is to see if robotic surgery is as safe as the traditi…

Researchers at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Portsmouth want to know whether they can measure breast biomechanics in women treated for early breast cancer. The study includes 45 women who have had surgery, with or without radiotherapy, for cancer in one bre…

Researchers are testing whether breast cancer patients who give consent digitally can reliably report complications after surgery using questionnaires. The study includes 50 women with early invasive breast cancer who are having breast-conserving surgery and a sentinel lymph node…

This study will look at how people with chronic kidney disease use a digital app called MyRenalCare. Researchers want to see if the app helps improve health, lowers hospital visits, and reduces costs and environmental impact. About 1,000 adults under kidney care will be included.

This study creates a large, anonymized database of routine hospital records from up to 750,000 adult patients. Researchers will use this data to develop and test computer models that predict serious outcomes like death, unexpected ICU admission, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to …

This observational registry is recruiting 500 people with polycystic liver disease (PLD) across the UK. Researchers will collect data from medical records and questionnaires to map how the disease progresses, including symptoms, liver cyst changes, and quality of life. The goal i…
