There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The aim of the present study is to characterize the bacterial composition (microbiota) colonizing to the human body in different physio - pathological conditions (lifestyle, motor activity, surgical operations, probiotic and prebiotic consumption, antibiotic therapies, chemotherapeutic therapies), nervous and musculoskeletal diseases, gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders , oral and vaginal diseases, etc.). In particular, they will be investigate: - the changes in the bacterial abundance - the potential microbial interactions with the human host - the microbial networks describing on the bacterial interactions within a specific composition of the human microbiota
Soft tissue attachment to the implant surface serves as a biological seal preventing the development of inflammatory periimplant diseases (i.e. peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis).It occurs in the presence of a biomaterial during healing of the surgical wound that might be influence by this foreign body. Myofibroblasts represent key players in the physiological reconstruction of connective tissue after injury. This work will focus on the role of myofibroblasts during the early phases of the healing process in peri-implant tissues around four different abutment materials.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 12 months of oral ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040) in participants with C3G or IC-MPGN based on histologic scoring and proteinuria.
The Zalviso® Sufentanil Sublingual Tablet System (SSTS) (Grünenthal Italia, Milan, Italy) is a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) system approved in September 2015 by the European Commission for the management of acute moderate-to-severe pain in adult patients in a hospital setting. This preprogrammed drug/device combination product delivers a fixed dose of 15 mcg of sufentanil tablets as needed, in a non-invasive sublingual dosage form. Multimodal analgesia is defined as the administration, by one or more routes, of various analgesic medications with different mechanisms of action, thereby providing superior analgesia with fewer side effects. To improve pain control and patient satisfaction, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) techniques have been developed, i.e. any delivery system which allows patients to self administer predetermined doses of analgesic drug to relieve pain. Over the past decades, intravenous (IV) PCA with morphine has been the gold standard for acute pain control. In our clinical practice, though, not only IV-PCA pumps were frequently prone to technical problems, but also patients and caregivers were not often able to understand or activate them, thus raising important safety issues and profoundly affecting the management of pain control. As a consequence, IV-PCA eventually fell into disuse, although no alternative has emerged until recently. The SSTS should go beyond the above-quoted limitations: it is a non invasive, patient-controlled and easy to use device, with an effective and safe opioid profile. It is, in our thinking, a promising technology. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to examine the role of the SSTS for management of pain after vertebral surgery, as part of a multimodal approach.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and preliminary activity with triple combinations of relatlimab in combination with nivolumab and BMS-986205, or in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in immunotherapy-naive and pretreated populations across select advanced tumor types.
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic (DHA) arachidonic acid (AA) are major building blocks for the lipid bilayer of neuronal and retinal membranes and play a crucial role in brain and visual development. Humans lack enzymes synthetizing DHA and AA precursors and thus rely upon dietary sources to achieve adequate intakes. Human milk (HM) feeding, either own mother's milk (OMM) or donor milk (DM), is the first nutritional choice for preterm infants and provides appropriate LCPUFAs amounts to support neurological and visual development of this fragile population. Due to their immaturity, preterm infants are often unable to coordinate sucking and swallowing, thus requiring tube feeding (TF) for prolonged time periods. During TF, fatty acids tend to separate from aqueous milk components and to adhere to the infusion set, thus reducing the delivery of HM lipid contents. To dare, however, a targeted evaluation of TF-related LCPUFAs losses has not been performed. This study aims to quantitatively assess, by means of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, the effect of bolus and different continuous feeding methods routinely adopted for preterm infants' enteral nutrition on the delivery of DHA and AA contained in human milk samples.
The QDOT-FAST study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, interventional clinical study.
Phase I, open-label, non-randomized study of safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of donor BPX-501 T cell infusion in children with recurrent or minimal residual disease (MRD) hematologic malignancies post-allogeneic transplant. The study will consist of the Main Study and an optional Pharmacokinetics (PK) Sub-Study.
This study aims to identify new morphological and quantitative magnetic imaging parameters of pituitary gland and sellar region in overweight and obese patient at baseline and after 3 years, dividing patients in 3 groups (weight loss through diet and lifestyle changes, weight loss through bariatric surgery, no weight loss)
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks are associated with a subsequent increased risk of death, and an elevation of cardiac enzymes has been measured after defibrillation testing (DFT). The aim of our study was to investigate the association between S-ICD vs T-ICD shocks and acute cardiac damage in humans, as evaluated by means of sensitive and highly specific circulating biomarkers
