Respiratory Infection
A randomised controlled trial comparing doxycycline with placebo in patients aged 65 or more, with a lower respiratory tract infection and one or more risk factors.

Shingles
A randomised controlled trial comparing the clinical effectiveness of low dose amitriptyline to placebo for the prevention of post-herpetic neuralgia.
Asymptomatic
Asthma
A randomised controlled trial assessing symptom-driven versus maintenance preventer therapy for the outpatient management of asthma in children.
Coat
Cellulitis
A blinded, non-inferiority phase III trial of 5 versus 7 days of oral flucloxacillin antibiotics in primary care patients with lower limb cellulitis.
DaRe2THINK
Atrial Fibrillation
A randomised controlled trial to test the hypothesis that direct oral anticoagulants (type of drug that helps to prevent blood clots from forming) are effective and cost-effective in patients with atrial fibrillation at low or intermediate risk of stroke.
Duration-UTI
Urinary Tract Infection
A randomised controlled trial investigating the impact of duration of antibiotic therapy on effectiveness, safety and selection of antibiotic resistance in adult women with urinary tract infections.
eDiamond
Diabetes
A randomised controlled trial to see whether offering people a new treatment service (eDIAMOND programme) can help more people achieve diabetic remission.
Genes and Health
DNA
A long-term genetic study to understand more about the nature of disease in the community in British Bangladeshi and British Pakastani individuals aged 16years and over.
Logic
Diabetes
A randomised controlled trial comparing two types of low carbohydrate eating plans to establish the right diet for participants and to also help them achieve their health goals.
Optimise 2
Hypertension
A randomised controlled trial optimising treatment for mild hypertension in older people at risk of adverse events.
