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 investigators enroll patients with a PAP-test cytology reporting LSIL or ASCUS. Pateitns undergo HPV-DNA test for screening. Patients are treated with Epigallocatechin galalte, hyaluronic acid, folic acid and Vitamin B12 by oral route. After three months of treatment PAP-test and HPV-DNA test will be repeated.
Fibrosis is considered the leading cause of liver diseases and related mortality. Specifically, hepatic fibrosis is regarded as the consequence of reparative mechanisms initiated by hepatocytes in response to chronic damage. In Western countries, the main known etiologies include hepatitis (B and C), alcoholism, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In particular, obesity is a determining factor in the onset and development of NASH. Alarming statistical data indicate that over 30% of the world's population is obese, and this eating disorder is increasingly affecting young people. NASH is a chronic disease that can present different degrees of fibrosis and, as the final stage, lead to the development of liver cirrhosis. Currently, the only accurate diagnostic and assessment system for this condition is liver biopsy, as there are no accurate non-invasive clinical tests available. The aim of this project is to identify (in silico) potential biomarkers involved in the development and progression of hepatic fibrosis and validate their presence and quantity in serum or plasma samples from obese patients (at-risk population). This would avoid the need for a liver biopsy and allow "at-risk" patients to undergo a simple ambulatory blood draw. Additionally, performing elastometry of the liver would allow for comparison of radiological results with laboratory findings.
Aminophylline is an intravenous drug commonly utilized for asthma. However, some preclinical studies and few case reports and case series have described its utility in decrease the timing of return of consciousness after Propofol anaesthesia with an intravenous bolus of 4 mg/kg. We aimed to compare its effect during a total Intravenous Anaesthesia with Target Controlled Infusion (TIVA-TCI) routinely utilized for general anaesthesia in our hospital.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the educational training of 12-weeks using flash glucose monitoring (FGM) FreeStyle Libre2 (FSL2; Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) in newly- diagnosed T2D subjects who are treated with metformin in term of sustained improvement in glycemic variability (TIR) after the discontinuation of FGM compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). This clinical trial also aim to explore which frequency of sensor wear at the diagnosis is more effective in achieving a sustained improvement in TIR after the FGM discontinuation over time.
The study involves the coexistence of a retrospective part, in which a group of patients with HPV-associated OPC for whom follow-up data of at least 2 years after diagnosis are available, designed in order to evaluate the expression of HPV16-specific E5 transcript as well as that of pEGFR and HLA, and a multicenter prospective part, involving the enrollment of a control group, enrolled at the ENT outpatient clinic of the IRE and the outpatient clinics of the relevant LILT provincial committees, to better elucidate the role of HPV16-E5 in identifying potentially transforming infections due to the presence of HPV.
This is a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to determine the efficacy and safety of Volrustomig (MEDI5752) + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed vs the investigator's choice of platinum + Pemetrexed or Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in participants with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
This study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on participants with previously untreated follicular lymphoma in Part 2, as well as participants with lymphoma that has come back after treatment (called "relapsed") or did not respond to treatment (called "refractory"), in Part 1. Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or NHL. This study is made up of 3 parts: Part 1A (non-randomized), Part 1B and Part 2 (randomized - controlled). The aim of Part 1A and Part 1B of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug in combination with chemotherapy is and to determine the dose and schedule of the study drug to be combined with chemotherapy to be used in Part 2 of the study. The aim of Part 2 of the study is to assess how effective the combination of the study drug with chemotherapy is in comparison with the combination of rituximab and chemotherapy (the current standard-of-care for NHL). 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 - 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
A randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bexotegrast (PLN-74809) for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (BEACON-IPF).
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using See.d instrument and SBS slides for preparation of plasma and cytological samples from whole blood. Forty-five participants will be enrolled (20 healthy volunteers and 25 metastatic breast cancer patients) and each participant will be asked to provide a blood sample.
Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a sudden clinical phenomenon that occurs frequently during general anesthesia. Prevention of IOH has been linked to reduced postoperative organ damage and decreased incidence of perioperative complications. Oncological patients with reduced preoperative physiological reserves may be especially vulnerable to IOH deleterious effects, especially when exposed to prolonged surgical time increase, as it is the case for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. The investigators aim to study introduction of a new technology able to predict hypotensive events (Hypotension Predictive Index, HPI Acumen™) in terms of its effects on IOH occurrence and burden in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. The investigators will enroll patients before and after the introduction of HPI monitoring. Further, differences in postoperative outcomes and perioperative complications between before and after populations will be investigated.
