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.
There are many factors involved in outlining the patient's profile and in defining which factors can be configured as risks related to the surgical act; for the modern surgeon it is no longer possible to identify the patient at risk of complications based on the mere age or some comorbidities historically considered more influential on the surgical outcome, but each patient must be evaluated in its entirety including age, fragility, comorbidity, state nutritional and sarcopenia and, if necessary, implementing preoperative therapeutic strategies aimed at minimizing the impact of some of these factors on the outcome of surgery. Our study aimed at creating, if possible, an "identikit" of the patient who is more likely to have serious postoperative complications; in order to improve the therapeutic decision and the approach to patients with severe surgical risk since choosing the right treatment for the right patient is essential to obtain a good result.
The study aims to shed light about the potential role of Erector Spinae Block in the management of postoperative pain following vertebral fixation surgery via posterior approach. Patients will be randomized, the block will be performed before inducing general anesthesia, intraoperative management will be uniformed, while postoperative analgesia will compare cases (patients who received the block) versus controls (usual care with endovenous morphine infusion only).
The lacking adherence to guidelines on prevention and treatment of different chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy induced toxicities is the reason why there are a potential incidence and duration increase of adverse events. It is clear the need of a collateral effect early recognition for an adequate clinical management and for limiting their intensity and duration. There is the need for a multicentre randomized clinical study in specific therapeutical settings (chemotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy) assessing the impact of planned and ongoing patients' monitoring by nurses. The NICSO study foresees patient enrolment that is in adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, colon, and lung; that is in chemotherapy or immunotherapy or with targeted therapy. Moreover, this working assesses toxicity differences (but also of QoL, number of PS access or non-planned medical examinations, number of hospitalization and number of recovery days) in patients that carried out a toxicity prevention and cure standard therapy in comparison with the standard assessment to which is added a periodic nursing phone intervention.
The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with zibotentan and dapagliflozin in combination and dapagliflozin 10 mg as monotherapy in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m^2, and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 150 mg/g and ≤ 5000 mg/g.
The aim of our study was to test the effects on endothelium of a combination of curcumin, resveratrol, plus zinc, magnesium, selenium and Vitamin D in a cohort of pediatric subjects with obesity.
This Phase III study will assess whether AZD7442 (a combination of 2 mAbs) can safely treat outpatient adults with COVID-19 and prevent either severe COVID-19 or death.
The study aims to perform Endovascular Aortic Repair procedures with CO2-Angiography using a standardized an operative Protocol
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare cancer caused by abnormal survival of plasma cells (blood cells). Most trial participants with MM relapse (cancer has come back) or become non- responsive to treatment and remission gets shorter after each line of treatment. This is a study to assess t(11;14) and BCL2 expression in adult participants with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Approximately 500 adult participants with newly confirmed or relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) will be enrolled in around 15-20 countries. Participants will receive standard of care while participating in this study. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic and will be asked to provide bone marrow and blood samples.
To date, it is well documented that the gut microbiota (GM) influences numerous physiological processes in the healthy "host". The alteration of the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota, commonly referred to as "dysbiosis", is associated with many pathological conditions. The high co-morbidity between inflammatory bowel diseases and psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and stress and the frequent presence of gastrointestinal dysfunctions in autistic patients have highlighted a possible implication of GM in psychiatric disorders. The ability of GM to communicate with the central nervous system and the possible influence on behavior led to the discovery of the existence of a microbiota-gut-brain axis. Clinical and experimental data suggest a possible role of modifications in the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota (impaired production of short-chain fatty acids, SCFAs) in major psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ASD is a severe neurological condition characterized by severe stereotypical behaviors and deficits in linguistic and social interaction. The prevalence of ASD in children is continuously increasing in Western countries. The pathogenesis of ASD is still poorly defined. The clinical manifestations of ASD are the result of complex interactions between genetic, epigenetic, environmental and microbiological factors. The improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms of autistic patients after short-term oral treatment with antibiotics and probiotics clearly indicated a role of the metabolites of MI in ASD. In particular, an alteration in the phyla of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes in fecal samples from autistic children has been described with conflicting results. Williams and colleagues (2011) evaluated a significant increase in the Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes ratio in intestinal biopsies of autistic children with gastrointestinal disorders. It has also been shown in animal models of ASD that dysbiosis is positively associated with an increase in butyrate levels and inversely associated with the "score" of the severity of ASD symptoms. Alterations in nutritional status, eating habits and adverse reactions to food appear to be more frequent in children with ASD. Several studies support the hypothesis that children with ASD have a greater refusal of food, requiring specific food presentations or eating a reduced variety of foods compared to children without ASD. These conditions are associated with dysbiosis. Preliminary data suggest that particular elimination diets and / or modifications of the intestinal microbiota can determine a positive effect on the symptoms of ASD. A better knowledge of the composition and functions of the intestinal microbiota also in relation to eating habits and the presence of adverse reactions to food in the child with ASD could facilitate new effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of these conditions.
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study that aims to assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype
