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 study will investigate the safety and tolerability of SLN124 in patients with Thalassaemia or patients with Very Low- and Low-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) after single ascending s.c. doses and multiple doses in healthy male and female subjects. Up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Thalassaemia and up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with MDS will be enrolled. Each subject will receive single or multiple doses of SLN124 or placebo given by subcutaneous (s.c) injection.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of Tacrolimus gel versus an anti-inflammatory mouthwash in an oral solution for the management of patients suffering from symptomatic OLP. The secondary objective was to analyze which one of the two treatments induced a greater risk of developing side effects.
This feasibility study highlights the features of the 3D dynamic responsive prosthesis ProFlor-E® for fixation free obliteration of inguinal hernia defect
This is a multicenter open-label randomized study for the early treatment of pneumonia due to SARS-COV2 with transfusion of convalescent plasma. Patients with pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 will be randomized to receive or not convalescent plasma collected by recovered patients with previous diagnosis of COVID19
A total of 138 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted or open colectomy for colorectal cancer (CRC) were included in the present study. Subjects commonly shared a condition of overweight or obesity. The investigators aimed to define any difference between the two different groups (open vs laparoscopic-assisted surgery) and a series of outcomes, i.e. hospitalization, Lymph nodes number, Intra-Surgery complications, and Clavien Dindo score.
The aim of the REnal Insufficiency Following Contrast MEDIA Administration TriaL IV (REMEDIAL IV) is to test whether the use of the DyeVert system is effective in reducing CI-AKI rate in ACS patients undergoing urgent/immediate (within 2 hours) invasive diagnostic and/or interventional cardiovascular procedures. The DyeVert™ system (Osprey Medical Inc., Minnetonka, MN, USA) is a novel device designed to reduce CM volume during coronary procedures, while maintaining fluoroscopic image quality. Patients with ACS scheduled for urgent/immediate coronary angiography/angioplasty will be enrolled and randomized into 2 groups: 1) DyeVert group (CM injection will be handled by the DyeVert TM system), and 2) Control group (CM injection will be carried out by a conventional manual injection syringe).
The present literature supports the importance of the motor activity since the early stages of the human development. The children with poor motor skills are at greater risk for psychosocial, internalizing, and metabolic diseases. In Italy data about obesity and inactivity are increasing, anyway there is lack of motor program for pre-schoolers. The movement program Animal Fun seems to be a valid tool to support these children. The aim of this study is to verify the feasibility of using Animal Fun with Italian pre-schoolers. 119 preschool children (3-6 years old) from 3 Italian kindergartens were included in this study. The schools were randomly allocated to intervention and control group. Movement Assessment Battery for Children - 2 (MABC-2) was administered to all the children at the baseline and at one-month follow-up. During this month, the schools assigned to the control group followed the normal curriculum; the schools assigned to the Animal Fun group, followed the Animal Fun activity (thirty minutes, thrice a week). The investigators expect that the Animal Fun program demonstrates valid and feasible even in the Italian context, where there is lack of movement program supporting the development of the pre-school children.
To investigate the structural and vascular features of choroid in patients affected by PCV after Ranibizumab intravitreal injection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Rodatristat Ethyl in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients.
Impairment of balance and gait are frequent complaints in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). In these persons, there is an increased risk for stumbles and falls when compared to normal subjects. An underestimated cause of falls might be the weakness of neck flexor muscles (due to cervical ataxia). It is well known that fibres of muscle spindles are receptors combining a specialized sub-set of muscle fibers with a specialized array of both sensory and motor nerve fibers. Spindles transduce into neural afferent discharges the muscle length and length changes. They are very dense in deep neck muscles, are crucial to body balance and gage orientation, and are severely affected in DM1. Preliminary results suggest that falls could reflect imbalance. These indicate that cervical ataxia may come into play because of muscle spindle fibre disruption. In light of the current knowledge on the physiology of balance and on the association between balance deficits and cervical dystonia in other clinical conditions (e.g., whiplash injury), a rationale is therefore offered to a confirmation of the hypothesis that DM1 patients may suffer from cervical ataxia. The primary endpoint is the demonstration of an association between balance deficits in standing and cervical proprioception deficit in adults affected by Myotonic dystrophy 1. Secondary endpoints are: - the investigation of the correlation among the two deficits and the clinical conditions of patients, - the definition of normative data in the measure of cervical proprioception in a sample of healthy participants. It is expected that high scores in postural balance, obtained on the posturographic Equitest™-Sensory Organization Test-SOT, correspond to high levels of repositioning accuracy in tests of cervical repositioning and low SOT scores correspond to low accuracy. Moreover, it is expected that an association exists among the two deficits and the clinical situation of the patients. Results from the present pilot study will allow an estimate of the sample size for future experimental protocols. The evidence for an association between balance deficits and cervical ataxia would be of obvious relevance to the patients. This would also support the hypothesis that neck muscle spindles may be especially affected in DM1. This would highlight that muscles are also crucial sensory organs, involved in the perception of joint position, muscle strength, and fatigue. Results from the present study might allow the definition of new rehabilitative programs, such as treatments through a neck strengthening (and thus stiffening) exercise program. This study, therefore, might stimulate new research hypothesis at the neurophysiologic level and possibly lead to findings generalizable from DM1 to other forms of myopathy.
