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.
SENTICOL III is large prospective multicenter international randomized study designed to validate the Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) mapping technique in early cervical cancer. This "validation study" will compare the outcome of patients with negative SLN (experimental arm) vs patients with negative SLN + Pelvic Lymph Node dissection (PLN)(reference arm). There will be a "quality assurance" program which will be developed in participating centers with detailed requirements in terms of surgeons' qualifications, pathology qualification, SLN ultrastaging, standardization of the procedure, etc. as well as respect of the "safety algorithm".
This is an open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 study to determine the MTD and assess the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and anti-leukemia activity of IMGN632 when administered as monotherapy to patients with CD123+ disease.
To evaluate, in a controlled setting, the early safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra/Indigo aspiration thrombectomy Systems (San Francisco, California), and to define optimal technique for the use of these systems in patients with confirmed peripheral acute occlusions.
DONUM is an observational prospective independent protocol for patients with advanced lung cancer, colorectal cancer or cancer of unknown primary, willing to donate their tumor tissue samples post mortem for biomedical research purposes. All patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be eligible for the study after giving their Informed consent. Informed Consent will be obtained in two steps. During the pre-information step patients will be acquainted with the existence of a post-mortem cancer tissue donation research program governed by the DONUM protocol. If the patients manifest interest to participate into the program (in writing) during the pre-information step, they will proceed to step 2 and undergo the final informed consent process.
Rotationplasty is a very special surgical technique. In its most frequent variant it allows, in the bone sarcomas of the distal femur, to remove all the thigh tissues including the knee joint keeping intact the innervation of the leg and the foot that are transplanted proximally after a 180 ° rotation and joined to the proximal femoral stump. It is currently the first choice in children under the age of 6 with a bone sarcoma localized to the distal femur but also finds indication in all age groups in cases of extremely voluminous and extended to the entire thigh with the oncological need to remove in block femur, knee and all the muscular involved. The objective of the study is to obtain information about the clinical and functional status of the limb operated in long-term surviving patients. In particular in this study the problem of the possible degenerative pathology of the hip on the operated side will be addressed. Moreover the psychic and psychological well-being of this population with particular reference to gender and motherhood will be tested.
This is a study to evaluate the acceptability, efficacy and preferences of 10 of estradiol vaginal tablets vs promestriene vaginal cream
This study evaluates the different enhancement using a contrast agent dose in computed tomography based on total body weight or based on lean body weight. Half of participants will receive contrast agent dose based on their total body weight, while the other half will receive a dose based on their lean body weight. Our hypothesis is that if contrast agent is administered not basing on total body weight but on lean body weight it is possible to obtain equal or better quality of enhanced images, a reduction of the variability of contrast enhancement, and also a dose reduction in some patients (overweight ones).
The main objective of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of DS-8201a for participants with HER2-expressing advanced colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of daratumumab in addition to standard chemotherapy in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) and T-cell ALL/LL as measured by the complete response (CR) rate.
Aging is often associated with pathological pathway such as in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and that pathway may be associated to a high risk of dementia. Tools for early identification of functional and cognitive decline and effectiveness of treatments in counteracting the loss of functionality to preserve MCI subjects autonomy, have been widely debated in recent years. In literature, the importance of combined cognitive and physical training is also recognized (Karssemeijer E, 2017). Moving from the above mentioned findings and considerations, the aim of GOAL project is to test a newly developed tele-rehabilitation platform to monitor and preserve functional and cognitive abilities in individuals affected by Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to the tele-rehabilitation (GOAL group) or usual care program (control group). A dedicated application will be developed for the GOAL group. Thanks to the application, the participant will access different contents, such as serious games to train cognitive abilities (Anguera et al,2013) and physical training video lessons to endorse daily activity. Each participant of GOAL group will be provided with a tablet, with the application installed on it, and an internet connection (if needed).
