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 purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib to chemotherapy in female participants with Stage III, IV, or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. It is hypothesized that the combination of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib will be superior to chemotherapy for progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR). It is also hypothesized that the combination of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib will be superior to chemotherapy for overall survival (OS). As of Amendment 7 eligible participants on study completion will be able to transition to an extension study, if available, in which they can continue to receive pembrolizumab monotherapy, lenvatinib monotherapy, or a combination of both pembrolizumab and lenvatinib as received in the parent study.
Tacrolimus is the most widely used immunosuppressive drug in the prevention of rejection after solid organ transplantation. Pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers and in transplanted patients have shown that this molecule is rapidly absorbed after oral administration (maximum plasma concentration after 1-2 hours), is found in the circulation bound mainly to erythrocytes and, after being metabolized by CYP3A4, is eliminated through the bile. The importance of the tacrolimus blood dosage is now widely recognized for detecting the immunosuppressive capacity reached in the individual patient or the eventual overdose of the drug. In the use of Tacrolimus after Liver Transplantation, however, it is interesting to note that the biochemical pathway for metabolism and excretion of the drug is present in the transplanted organ, the main object of immunological and functional surveillance. The excretory capacity of Tacrolimus by the liver through the bile, therefore, could be a useful tool for recognizing the early liver failure from a functional point of view, before the onset of hepatoecrosis.
The study compares 2 medicines used for the treatment of children who are born small and who stayed small: somapacitan given once a week (a new medicine) and Norditropin® given once a day (the medicine doctors can already prescribe). Participants will either get somapacitan or Norditropin® - which treatment is decided by chance. Both participants and the study doctor will know which treatment the participants get. The study will last for 5 years. Participants will take either an injection once every week or once every day.
Durvalumab or Placebo in Combination With Gemcitabine/Cisplatin in Patients With 1st Line Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer (TOPAZ-1)
This study is constituted of two stage: Treatment-Free Remission 1 (TFR1) stage and Treatment-Free Remission 2 (TFR2) stage. The purpose of the TFR1 stage is to assess the effect of nilotinib reduced to half the standard dose for 12 months on treatment-free remission in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia - Chronic Phase (CML-CP) treated with first-line nilotinib who reached a sustained deep molecular response before entering the study. The purpose of the TFR2 stage is to evaluate whether the use of asciminib in combination with nilotinib after failure of a first attempt at TFR can lead to higher and more durable TFR rates after a second attempt at TKI discontinuation than those reported in other studies.
Prospective validation of the ultrasound-assessed internal jugular vein distensibility (JVD) ratio to identify patients with systolic chronic heart failure and right atrial pressure (RAP) of 7 or less mmHg measured by the right heart catheterization. In a calibration cohort, a threshold ratio will be identified, above which the RAP is normal with the highest accuracy. This diagnostic tool with a defined threshold of the JVD ratio will be assessed in a second prospective validation cohort.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab compared to nivolumab monotherapy in participants with previously untreated kidney cancer that has spread.
This study will assess the effect of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with evolocumab on major cardiovascular events in adults without a prior myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke who are at high risk of a cardiovascular event.
The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of S 95005 in combination with bevacizumab over capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and complete radiological response after surgical resection or local ablation. The primary hypotheses of this study are that adjuvant pembrolizumab is superior to placebo with respect to: 1) recurrence-free survival (RFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR); and 2) overall survival (OS).
