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.
This is a prospective, open-label, multi-site Phase II trial of pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin as neo-adjuvant therapy followed by surgery and adjuvant pembrolizumab in patients affected by resectable stage I-IIIa chemonaïve epithelioid/biphasic pleural mesothelioma.
Migraine is a leading cause of disability with an estimated prevalence of 12% in Europe. The headache field witnessed a breakthrough since the introduction of specific preventive therapies which proved effective and well tolerated, namely the monoclonal antibodies directed against the Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) pathway (mAbs). Their mechanism of action is still debated. Several Authors claimed that, despite the site of action is peripheral (namely outside of the blood brain barrier), the resulting action may take place at central level. Another valuable hypothesis is that the clinical modifications resulting from mAbs treatment may induce functional modulation of several brain areas. With these premises, the primary aim of the study is to evaluate changes in functional connectivity in patients undergoing preventive mAbs treatment using high density EEG.
The objective of this prospective, international cohort is to incorporate the low stable pressure (using Airseal Insufflator) approach and its associated parameters into the early rehabilitation program after colorectal surgery so as to shorten hospitalization up to the ambulatory care and reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption.
This is a single-center, observational, prospective study on quality of life and disease status of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. Data related to clinical conditions (oncological, psychological, sexual and quality of life) of these patients are collected in a database.
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer caused by the selective clonal expansion of plasma cells. By acting on the microenvironment of the bone marrow, MM shifts the niche balance and becomes chemoresistant due to its interaction with stromal cells. Despite new therapeutic strategies, MM still remains incurable and new strategies are urgently needed. In order to successfully act on MM, we must use a strategy that reflects its plasticity and blocks it on several targets: proliferation, interaction with the microenvironment, and metastasis. The main interest of the project is to evaluate the effect of gene therapy identified in vitro, directly on patient-derived samples, in particular to translate the knowledge gained on myeloma cell lines in vitro to primary tumor cells taken from patients.
The overall objective of the clinical investigation is to evaluate whether the use of the AesyBite Active reduces the bruxism activity.
To evaluate the performance a new asferic monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with higher order aspheric optic for far, intermediate, and near vision, in pediatric patients after monolateral cataract surgery.
This is a Phase 3 trial to evaluate the BP-lowering effect of lorundrostat (an aldosterone synthase inhibitor) in subjects with uncontrolled and resistant hypertension taking between 2 and 5 anti-hypertensive (AHT) medications.
Bariatric surgery (BS), an effective treatment for severe obesity and its comorbidities, may result in micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies. This monocentric prospective observational study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a specifically designed vitamin/mineral formula (Bariatrifast) for preventing and treating micronutrient deficiencies in patients submitted to BS.
In the last decades, the consumption of energy-dense diets, primarily consisting of highly digestible starchy foods like bread, along with a global increase in obesity rates and a sedentary lifestyle, has emerged as the main contributors to the development of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes type 2. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the starch digestibility of bakery products, and in turn their glycemic index, with a specific emphasis on wheat bread. Several strategies have been used to decrease the glycemic index and insulin response of bread; however, most of these techniques have a detrimental effect on the texture, volume, taste, and color of bread, limiting the consumer's acceptability. Preservation of the native microstructure (cell wall integrity) and employing processing techniques to create a macrostructure (protein network and food matrix) can be used to influence the product structure and therefore how the product is chewed (oral processing), and how these factors can affect carbohydrate digestion and glycemic response. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different textural characteristics of bread on oral processing in relation to the glycemic and insulin response of the three breads. In the present study, a total of 16 healthy volunteers will be recruited, and if eligible (they need to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria), they will attend an oral processing test on three breads, a test to measure the glycemic index (ISO) and insulin response. The bread sample composition will be as follows: Bread A is made with 95% durum wheat fine semolina (< 400 micrometer) + 5% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59% water Bread B is made with 80% durum wheat fine semolina (< 400 micrometer) + 20% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59 % water Bread C is made with 80% durum wheat coarse semolina (> 500 micrometer) + 20% gluten+ 1.2% yeast + 1% salt + 59 % water.
