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 an observational study in which data already collected from people with metastatic colorectal cancer will be studied. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a cancer of the colon (large bowel) or the rectum (lowest part of the bowel just before the anus). Cancer is considered metastatic if it spreads to other parts of the body. The study drug, regorafenib, is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with mCRC. It is an anti-cancer drug that blocks several proteins, called enzymes, which are involved in the growth of cancer. Other approved treatments for mCRC include TAS and bevacizumab. The combination of the anti-cancer drugs trifluridine and tipiracil is called TAS. Both TAS and bevacizumab prevent cancer cells from growing and multiplying. Some studies have shown that people with mCRC who took TAS along with bevacizumab, lived longer than when TAS was taken alone. This may be especially beneficial for patients who have tried other treatments before. However, there is limited knowledge about how and in which order these drugs are given. To better understand the impact of the order of taking regorafenib and TAS, with or without bevacizumab, more knowledge is needed about how well these treatments work in people with mCRC in European countries. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of treatment in people with mCRC who have already received regorafenib and TAS, with or without bevacizumab, one after the other (also called sequential treatment) in a different order. To do this, researchers will collect the following information: - how long participants received sequential treatment for mCRC - number of participants receiving further treatment for mCRC after the sequential treatment - number and type of further treatments for mCRC - how long did participants live (also called overall survival). The data will come from the participants' information stored in health records from 4 centers in 3 European countries including France, Italy, and Spain. The data will be from people with mCRC who started sequential treatment between January 2013 and December 2022 or until the most recent date that allows researchers to assess the participants' health for at least 3 months. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests will be required as part of this study.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy following oral administration of AZD3470 as a monotherapy, and in combination with other anticancer agents in participants with haematologic malignancies.
This is a Phase 1/2, global multicentre, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation and dose optimisation study of AZD0486 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AZD0486 monotherapy in participants with R/R B ALL who have received ≥ 2 prior lines of therapies. The study will consist of 3 parts. Part A monotherapy dose escalation. Part B dose optimisation. Part C Dose expansion at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)
Patients with hemochromatosis or Thalassemia develop progressive tissue and organs damages secondary to iron overload. Iron overload can result both from transfusional hemosiderosis and excess gastrointestinal iron absorption. Iron deposition in the heart, liver, and multiple endocrine glands results in severe damage to these organs, with variable degrees of endocrine and organ failure. Although patients with iron overload often present endocrine disorders, the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying endocrinopathies are not completely clear. In particular it is not elucidated if the spectrum of endocrinopathies could change with advancing age. All endocrinological comorbidities can develop from a primary damage of the target gland, from pituitary secondary failure or from both. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of endocrinological diseases in adult patients with iron overload due to β-thalassemia or hemochromatosis and their impact on well-being and quality of life. The study design is a prospective cross-sectional clinical study. All subjects enrolled will be evaluated for the endocrine diseases. The study protocol will include data collection from family and patients' history of diseases, physical examination, hormonal assessment for all endocrine axes and instrumental examinations. The results will provide evidence on the prevalence of endocrine diseases in patients with iron overload and will add information to characterize the type and the degree of endocrine deficiencies, and on the pathogenic mechanisms involved, in order to individualize diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
This study aims at verifying the overexpression of STARD3 in both early and advanced CRC patients derived tissues, to identify the pathways underpinning tumorigenesis and cancer progression in which STARD3 is involved. Moreover its role as a dynamic biomarker of treatment response and its part in treatment sensitivity will be explored.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of opevesostat plus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one next-generation hormonal agent (NHA). The primary study hypotheses are that opevesostat is superior to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide with respect to radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) and overall survival (OS), in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation positive and negative participants.
This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of opevesostat compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) and to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that opevesostat is superior with respect to OS and rPFS per PCWG Modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.
Phase II, open label, single arm, single center, prospective diagnostic trial to evaluate the Fibroblast Activating Protein (FAP) positivity in patients with solid tumors
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial is conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of Fluocinonide 0,05% and determinate the statistical significance of the outcome variables. Oral cavity lichen is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the mucosa of the oral cavity , which significantly reduces the quality of life of affected individuals.
Fibromyalgia is a widespread musculoskeletal pain syndrome. It is characterized by physical manifestations which are also the expression of a psychological distress as well as specific illness attitudes and behaviors. Indeed, it is considered a psychosomatic disorder. In this framework, we hypothesize the clinical utility of a psychosomatic assessment guided by rheumatologists and clinical psychologists (Study 1) and the utility of an integrated multidisciplinary psychosomatic intervention based on cognitive restructuring/psychoeducation followed by museum therapy (Study 2). For Study 1 a cross-sectional observation study will be implemented, for Study 2 a randomized controlled trial will be applied.
