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 study purpose is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the addition of INC280, trametinib, ribociclib, gefitinib, or LXH254 to EGF816 in adult patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
Breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) is a debilitating and distressing condition affecting approximately one out of five breast cancer survivors. BCRL is a chronic swelling of the upper arm following axillary lymph nodes dissection, and it is associated to a significant functional, psychological and social morbidity, with an heavy impact on life quality. Several studies reported BCRL incidence between 6.7% and 62.5% for different population cohorts. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reported that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) when compared with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) leads to a significant reduction in postoperative complications. However, the advent of SLNB does not solve the problem of BCRL with a concrete chance to develop a lymphedema after single SLNB around 7%. Health care cost of BCRL rehabilitative treatment is not available in literature yet. Few studies considered incidence, risk factors and treatment costs of BCRL among working-age women after breast cancer treatment, reporting that BCRL population had significantly higher rehabilitative medical costs ($14,877 to $23,167) with twice as much risk to develop BCRL complications, such as lymphangitis or cellulitis when compared to "BCRL free" population (OR = 2.02, P = .009). Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) procedure claims to map and preserve arm lymphatic drainage during ALND and/or during SLNB, reducing BCRL development. ARM is developed as result of assumption that arm's lymphatic pathway is not involved by metastatic tumor cells of the primary breast cancer. However, when the arm lymph node correspond to the SLN it should be removed for correct tumor staging, thus a lymphatic drainage disruption onset will be expected with BCRL risk increase. During the ARM procedure, a fluorescence imaging technique (photodynamic procedure) is useful for detecting lymphatic drainage of the upper limb and it allows in differentiating the fluorescent ARM node from the SLN identified by the radioguided technique (99mTC-Nanocoll).
he purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability BGB-3111 plus obinutuzumab versus obinutuzumab alone in participants with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin follicular lymphoma.
The aim of the study is to establish a new and more accurate method to visualize the peritoneal changes caused by endometriosis using Indocyanine Green mediated fluorescence imaging. The hypothesis is that Indocyanine Green, a fluorescent dye that has wide applications throughout medicine in identifying vascularity of tissues and neovascularization, could facilitate the localization and excision of endometriotic lesions exploiting the hypervascularization due to the chronic inflammation
This study is to assess the efficacy and safety of olaparib monotherapy versus olaparib in combination with an inhibitor of ATR (Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) and Rad3-related protein kinase (Ceralasertib [AZD6738]) and olaparib monotherapy versus olaparib in combination with an inhibitor of WEE1 (adavosertib [AZD1775]) in second or third line setting in patients with Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) prospectively stratified by presence/absence of qualifying tumour mutation in genes involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. Treatment arms are olaparib monotherapy, olaparib+ Ceralasertib and olaparib+adavosertib. The study subject population will be divided into Stratum A, Stratum B, and Stratum C. Due to the different schedules of administration of each of the treatment options as well as their different toxicity profiles, the study is not blinded. Study has two stage consent process- stage 1 consent (molecular screening for HRR defects) and stage 2 consent (main study). Patients with TNBC and with known qualifying BRCAm, non BRCAm HRRm and non HRRm status will be offered the option of consenting to the main part of the study within the 28-day screening period. Following the ISRC meeting on 17 April 2019 a recommendation was made to close the adavosertib+olaparib treatment arm across all biomarker strata. Patients receiving treatment with adavosertib+olaparib treatment were offered the opportunity to continue treatment on olaparib monotherapy at the approved dose (300 mg bd). Following the closure of this arm the total number of patients randomised will be lower (approximately 350 patients). Approximately 300 patients will be randomised (using randomisation ratio 1:1) to 2 ongoing treatment arms plus an additional 47 patients to a 3rd arm (olaparib+adavosertib) prior to the arm being discontinued.
BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic inflammatory disease with articular and extra-articular features. Establishing the prognosis of a patient with PsA is hence important to define the treatment strategy. Currently, observational and prospective cohort studies have identified prognostic factors correlating with the achievement of therapeutic response. Nevertheless, despite the importance of identifying prognostic factors in a disease with a functional disability comparable to rheumatoid arthritis, the studies are still limited. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE In PsA with clinically active joint disease starting a new course of therapy, to evaluate the additional value of UltraSound(US)-score over clinical examination in detecting patients achieving MDA at 6 months. STUDY DESIGN The study follows a multi-centre observational prospective cohort study design. PATIENTS AND METHODS INCLUSION CRITERIA - Adult > 18 years of age with PsA (PsA according to the ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) - with joint involvement) - At least one joint clinically involved (both swelling and tenderness); - prescription of new course of d NSAIDs (monotherapy), steroid intra-articular injections (monotherapy), conventional Disease-Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), biologic DMARDs, including switches or dose augmentations indicated by the treating rheumatologist according to usual clinical practice before US acquisition; - Stable treatment before treatment modification (6 weeks); - Signed informed consent form. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT Patient's clinical assessment will be performed according to the core set of domains for PsA proposed by the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) and Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT). ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT Sonographic evaluations will be performed by expert ultrasonographers in 44 joints, 36 tendons, 12 entheses and 2 bursae according to the score developed for psoriatic arthritis by the study group ultrasound of the Italian Society of Rheumatology (US-score PsA-SIR) EXPECTED RESULTS AND SIGNIFICANCE The aim of this study is to identify clinical and US predictors of achieving MDA in PsA patients with active peripheral arthritis starting a new course of therapy.
The purpose of this study is to see if BMS-986205 combined with nivolumab, compared to nivolumab by itself, is more effective in treating Melanoma that has spread or is unable to be removed by surgery, and has not previously been treated
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, crossover trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of red blood cells (RBCs) derived from Mirasol-treated whole blood (WB) versus conventional RBCs in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients. Throughout the clinical study, RBC transfusion volume and frequency will be determined by each subject's treating physician.
