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.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. DVT is called 'proximal' when the clot is formed in the veins of the hip, thigh, and knee. DVT can cause serious health problems. The blood clots in the veins can break loose and can then travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected leg, as well as redness and warmth in the area. Currently, DVT is usually treated using blood thinners to prevent the clot from getting bigger or breaking off and traveling to the lungs. However, blood thinners may not be able to remove a blood clot quickly and may not be suitable for everyone who has DVT. BAY3018250 is a drug that works by dissolving blood clots. In this study, researchers will compare BAY3018250 with placebo to learn how well it works and how safe it is in participants with proximal DVT. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers to confirm that the results observed during the study were caused by the study drug and not by other factors. The main purposes of this study are to learn: - How well BAY3018250 works in dissolving blood clots in participants with proximal DVT and - How safe is BAY3018250 as a treatment for participants with proximal DVT? For this, the researchers will use ultrasound tests to measure blood clots in participants before and at various times after study treatment. They call these measurements a clot burden score. They will compare the clot burden score before and after treatment and will calculate a complex measure called AUC. This tells researchers how the clots have changed over time. And researchers will collect the number of bleeding events that require medical attention. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of 3 treatment groups. Dependent on the group, they will receive a single dose of high dose or low dose of BAY3018250 or placebo. Researchers will closely monitor participants for 90 days after receiving the study treatment. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate - undergo ultrasound tests to measure the blood clots - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
A multi-center randomized clinical trial to compare OTL-203 (gene therapy) with stem cell transplant (standard of care) in patients with MPS-IH (Hurler syndrome).
This study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on patients who have one of two types of cancer: follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) that has come back after treatment (called "relapsed"), or did not respond to treatment (called "refractory"). FL and MZL are subtypes of Non-Hodgkin 's lymphoma (NHL). This study will be made up of two parts (Part 1 not randomized, Part 2 randomized - controlled). The aim of Part 1 of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug is when used in combination with lenalidomide, in participants with FL or MZL, and to determine the dose of the study drug to be used in Part 2 of this study. This combination is considered "first-in-human" as it has not been tested as a combination treatment in humans before. The aim of Part 2, of the study is to assess how the combination of odronextamab and lenalidomide works compared to the combination of rituximab and lenalidomide, (the current standard-of-care treatment for FL and/or MZL). Standard-of-care means the usual medication expected and used when receiving treatment for a condition. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug in combination with lenalidomide - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - The impact from the study drug on your quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities
The goal of this prospective randomized study is to demonstrate if the use of an external scrotal drainage in penile prosthetic surgery can reduce the risk of post-operative complications without increase the risk of infections.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of fault-detection algorithms in detecting malfunctioning of the insulin infusion system in an artificial pancreas (also known as Automated Insulin Delivery system) for type 1 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer is: "Are the proposed algorithms effective in detecting insulin suspension?" Effectiveness accounts for both high sensitivity (i.e. the fraction of suspension correctly detected) and low false alarm rate. The study has three phases: - free-living artificial pancreas data collection, - in-patient induction of hyperglycemia (mimicking an insulin pump malfunction), - retrospective analysis of the collected data to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in detecting insulin suspension.
Optimal pain control with limited muscle weakness is paramount for a swift initiation of physical therapy and ambulation. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FIC) has been recommended since it offers the best pain control with low risk of motor block. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with lateral femoral cutaneous block (LFCN) has been proposed as an effective alternative to FIB that offers similar pain control with a considerably lower risk of motor block. The aim of this study is to compare the afore mentioned blocks and determine which one yielded the least degree of quadriceps femoris muscle weakness and the better pain control (the lowest NRS score with least need for opioids).
The aim of this observational study is to gather pre and post surgery clinical data belonging to patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy and to evaluate the impact of the surgery on the quality of life of the patients, as well as possible relapses within a 10 year period.
Adaptation to the new health condition and self-care skills allow people to be able to adhere to the therapeutic treatment in the most correct way possible, but there are many cases in which subjects do not show adherence to it, and for this reason the risk increases to manifest acute complications and also to develop long-term ones
To investigate the efficacy of MT-7117 on time to onset and severity of first prodromal symptoms (burning, tingling, itching, or stinging) associated with sunlight exposure in adults and adolescents with EPP or XLP.
Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is a behavioral syndrome characterized by a severe organizational disorder of thinking and major functions that regulate human adaptation. It is to be considered as a functional disorder, or of executive functions, whose dysfunction is expressed in the difficulty of making voluntary movements, sequentially coordinated with each other according to a purpose, and of initiating an action, planning and monitoring it by inhibiting inappropriate responses such as gesture perseveration. Literature studies suggest that, compared to children with typical development (TD) and regardless of cognitive status, children with ASC have pervasive motor dysfunction that results in universal difficulties in several aspects of motor function, including - (1) fine motricity, (2) some aspects of praxis while performing tasks based on imitation of sequences, (3) simultaneous coordination of both sides of the body during rhythmic tasks of the upper limbs, andĚ (4) interpersonal coordination and synchrony. The hypothesis of the study is that by comparing these aspects in 2 groups of children with ASC and children with TD using A.I. systems, it will be possible to extract objective markers of motor deficits found in autism, facilitating the validation of measurements acquired with clinical scales. The objective of the study is to investigate the characteristics of manual motor planning and performance difficulties in children with ASC using kinematic measurements. 30 ASC children with medium-high functioning and 30 TD children, aged 7 to 13 years, IQ > 80, in the absence of motor deficits due to another clinical condition, will be recruited. The protocol will take place in a single session during which children will be video-recorded performing simple and complex rhythmic upper limb actions with a social partner. The presence of characteristic fine motor behaviors, practice errors, perseverations, movement variability, and interpersonal synchrony will be observed. The study will involve the use of 3 tasks contained in NEPSY-II: Finger tapping, Visual-motor precision, and Imitation of manual motor sequences. The videos will be recorded simultaneously and the different angles will allow hand kinematics to be extracted and analyzed with A.I. algorithms to measure displacement, velocity, acceleration, frequency and any other kinematic parameters highlighted. Thus, it is expected to identify objective markers of motor deficits found in children with ASC.
