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.
A study to assess treatment with a new formulation of recombinant factor VIII reconstituted with liposomes (BAY79-4980) to evaluate whether a once-a-week treatment is safe and can prevent bleeds in subjects with severe haemophilia A.
To evaluate the effects of paricalcitol injection on cardiac structure and function over 48 weeks in subjects with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis who have left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Apricitabine is a new NRTI which is active against drug-resistant HIV. NRTIs are often included as part of patients' treatment, but many HIV-infected patients develop resistance to commonly used NRTIs such as lamivudine (3TC) and emtricitabine (FTC). This study will examine whether including apricitabine as part of patients' treatment is more effective than including lamivudine,when patients change treatment because of drug resistance.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to find out whether a combination of entecavir (ETV) plus tenofovir (TNF) works better against Hepatitis B virus than adefovir (ADV) added to continuing lamivudine (LVD) therapy in patients whose Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is resistant against lamivudine. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Primary objective: To assess the effect of xaliproden hydrochloride (xaliproden) 1 mg per oral daily on the rate of complete resolution of PSN at 6 months, following randomization, after the completion of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer. Secondary objective: - To assess the effect of xaliproden on patient-reported outcomes using the FACT/GOG NTX-12 subscale. - To assess the effect of xaliproden on the rate of at least partial recovery of grade > 2 PSN at 6 months - To assess the effects of xaliproden on the time to complete recovery from PSN - To evaluate the safety profile of xaliproden
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of CPAP application by a helmet and O2 administration by a Venturi mask in terms of gas exchanges improvement in patients with acute respiratory failure due to community-acquired pneumonia.
This is a phase III, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, and parallel group trial with a duration of 24 weeks, followed by a 120 week Open-label Period. The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in reducing clinical signs and symptoms in adult RA patients who had an inadequate response to TNF-α antagonist therapy.
The efficacy of NIMV to treat HARF has been widely demonstrated. However, in most of the studies performed in ICUs and in another facilities the mean age of the patients is usually less than 70 years. A multicentric, randomized-controlled trial conduced in a group of "ELDERLY" patients with the mean age higher than 76 years, to compare the use of NIMV with Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) in the treatment of an episode of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure.
Determine whether the addition of CP- 751,871 in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin prolongs survival in patients with locally advanced (Stage IIIB with pleural effusion) or metastatic (Stage IV or recurrent) NSCLC of non adenocarcinoma histology.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the Silzone coated sewing cuff reduces the incidence of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE).
