This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new vaccine, mRNA-1403, to prevent acute gastroenteritis caused by norovirus.

Norovirus (commonly called ‘the vomiting bug’) is highly contagious, causing severe sickness and diarrhoea, particularly in winter months.

This phase 3 clinical trial is taking place across the UK and worldwide. It is sponsored by Moderna.

 

This study wants to understand how well a new mRNA vaccine works to prevent flu infection compared to a vaccine that is already in use.

It is being carried out by a team of researchers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of Moderna TX.

 

This project will establish a PPIE (patient and public involvement and engagement) group to advise on a study investigating a new physiotherapy treatment for low back pain.

Researchers have developed a new physiotherapy treatment for low back pain called cognitive muscular therapy (CMT).  It combines training to improve posture with techniques to help people think differently about the pain they experience.

This project is being carried out by a team of researchers based at the University of Salford.

This study is testing the effectiveness of a new drug to prevent Covid-19.

It is being carried out in Greater Manchester by a team of researchers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

This study will use several digital technologies and scanning processes to help understand what happens when someone breathes to help develop new treatments for dysfunctional breathing.

People who struggle to breathe are often treated with simple breathing exercises. This project is looking to develop a new system using high-tech visual and audio feedback to guide patients through a personalised process of learning the correct muscular control for their breathing.

It is being carried out by a team of researchers based at the University of Salford.

This study is testing a new vaccine, known as GRT-R910, to be used as a booster to prevent coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

It is sponsored by Gritstone bio, Inc and is being carried out by a team of researchers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

The national PANORAMIC trial is testing new antiviral treatments that help those suffering with Covid-19 at home and in the community get better quicker and without needing to be treated in hospital.

All treatments in the PANORAMIC trial have been approved by the UK Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for use in the study.

You can join the study directly by filling out the screening form:

STEP HFpEF (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity, Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction)

This study will investigate how well a new drug called semaglutide works at helping people lose weight and reduce symptoms of heart failure.

Participation in the study will last for 59 weeks.

It is being carried out in Greater Manchester by a team cased at the Manchester Heart Centre, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

This study is testing how effective a new vaccine is in preventing respiratory infections caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common seasonal virus that infects the airways of the lungs. Some people, especially older adults or those living with some long-term conditions, can experience serious complications, including inflammation of the lungs of pneumonia.

This international study is being carried out in Greater Manchester by a team of researchers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
