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 online-based, observational retrospective registry aims to (i) study the rate of cardiovascular events, encompassing venous thromboembolic and arterial events, in consecutive hospitalized patients with coronavirus (Covid19), (ii) investigate the prevalent use of thromboprophylaxis, (iii) describe the use of imaging tests for the detection of cardiovascular events in patients with Covid19. This will also facilitate and constitute the basis for the conduction of interventional thromboprophylaxis studies in patients with Covid19.
This is a phase 2 study in which subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will receive VIR-7831 (Sotrovimab) Generation 1 (Gen1) or VIR-7831 (Sotrovimab) Generation 2 (Gen2) and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.
A new coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) appeared in Wuhan, China and it arrived to Europe 2-3 months later. It infected millions of persons and led to the death of thousands until May 2020 where numbers of infections per week decreased significantly. However, starting September, number of infections started to escalate again and continued to rise until now. Hundreds of good quality articles were published during this period to study the relationship and effects of this virus on pregnancy and vice versa, as well as to determine the adverse neonatal and obstetrical outcomes following the infection. In a case-control study using propensity score matching at the level of age, body mass index and comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, asthma), pregnant women over 20 week's gestation had significantly higher risk for intensive care unit stay, endotracheal intubation, hospitalization for disease related symptoms and need for oxygen therapy. A new systematic review also demonstrated increased risk for ICU admission in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women and to non-infected pregnant women. On the other hand, many researchers have demonstrated that the rates of preterm delivery and cesarean delivery have increased as well, others reported a close relation between SARS-CoV2 infection and preeclampsia or preeclampsia like condition. Enormous effort was done in order to understand adverse outcomes related to this infection, however, most studies included patients in the third or late second trimester. Few studies stratified adverse outcomes of the patients according to the trimester of infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the DopaFuse System can reduce the fluctuation of plasma levodopa levels compared to participants' standard intermittent doses of oral LD/CD tablets (background treatment). It will also assess whether the system is safe, well tolerated, and can relieve motor symptoms.
The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the effect of a treatment for highly-active relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). This was the extension study to CLARIFY MS (NCT03369665), to assess cognitive impairment and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with highly active RMS, at 4 years after initial dose of Mavenclad® tablets.
Paediatric anaesthesia care in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a challenge for clinicians. The recent debate about the role of anaesthetic agent on neural development, encouraged an evaluation of their actual activity in this environment. In this active call survey, the authors sought to delineate the Italian situation regarding national centers, staff involved, monitoring and tools available. The primary aim was to evaluate clinical practice in childhood management in Magnetic Resonance suite. This study was designed as prospective phone survey on the setting of a complete sample of all national centers performing almost a paediatric discharge in the 2014, obtained from Italian Health Ministery registers. The three section survey was fill out with the Physician in charge in Magnetic Resonance suite. The Main outcome was a descriptive and exploratory analyses about the organization setting of the Centers (procedures, performers, monitoring and tools).
The purpose of this phase IV study is to identify innovative early imaging parameters as predictors of the long-term clinical response to brolucizumab in terms of fluid resolution in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) with the purpose to evaluate their potential in supporting the treatment regimen choice (q12w or q8w).
Ageing is known to increase the risk of fall and posturographic stabilometry, both static and dynamic, are useful tools to assess postural stability. To our knowledge, no published normative data for a healthy elderly population are available.
Esophagectomy serves as an exemplar of major operative trauma, with well-known risk of pulmonary, cardiac, anastomotic, and septic complications and the presence of postoperative complications after esophagectomies for cancer is associated with a reduced long-term survival. There is a paucity in the literature regarding postoperative renal outcomes after esophageal surgery, with a wide range of incidence. The investigators will conduct a historical cohort study aiming to evaluate the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective esophageal cancer surgery. Secondary, the investigators will assess the progression of the acute injury and the association with adverse pulmonary, cardiac, anastomotic, and septic events, as well as increase in hospital stay and mortality. The investigators will also identify risk factors associated with acute kidney injury occurrence.
Recent data showed that the rate of periprosthetic infections in patients undergoing a hip arthroplasty revision for aseptic loosening is higher than what can be ascertained with conventional methods. The study aims to assess the adequacy of next-generation sequencing of 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene amplicons for identifying occult infections and improving the diagnostic workup. Moreover, additional testing has been planned in order to increase knowledge on the etiopathogenesis of infection.
