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 aim of this clinical trial is to study the impact of ultra-early transnasal evaporative cooling after cardiac arrest and subsequent hypothermia at hospital, on survival with complete neurologic recovery, compared to currently recommended normothermia. The study population will consist of patients 18-79 years old, with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initial shockable rhythm. The main research question it aims to answer is whether there is a difference in survival with complete neurologic recovery at 90 days after cardiac arrest between the group of patients that received ultra-early cooling, compared to the group that was treated with normothermia. Participants will be randomized to two groups. One group (the intervention group) will receive ultra-early trans-nasal evaporative cooling initiated by EMS personnel at the scene of the cardiac arrest, and subsequent systemic hypothermia for 24 hours at hospital arrival. The other group (the control group), will receive standard of care (advanced cardiac life support and normal body temperature (normothermia)).
The goal of this study is to determine if treatment with TCD601 improves beta-cell function in adults recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes compared to placebo.
retrospective study focused on patients with a known diagnosis of PMLBCL which experienced a CNS relapse during the course of their disease to obtain information about the clinical characteristics, the management at diagnosis and at each relapses , and the outcome of these cases. The aim of the study is to put together the large International series on CNS+ PMLBCL data, coming from 6 different countries , on clinical factors, anti-lymphoma therapy administered alone or concomitant with CNS prophylaxis , the information about the site of re biopsy when available , the dose intensity of lymphoma therapy received at relapse and the outcome of patients. Both patients treated in routine practice or within clinical trials will be considered. Moreover to better characterized the pathological features of this rare entity a central pathological review of the initial diagnosis and when available of for histological confirmed relapse will be considered.
A split-mouth study is conducted in order to evaluate the impact of orthodontic movement on the expression of gingival crevicular fluid miRNAs related to inflammation and osteoclastogenesis during canine distalization following asymmetrical extraction treatment of upper first premolars. Samples of gingival crevicular fluid on the mesial and distal side of the canines to be examined will be performed during the baseline and during various follow-ups.
This is a behavioral observational study aimed at understanding the limit of tolerance (in days) of ideally performing a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by people with acute low back pain. It consists of a short self-administered questionnaire. Relationships between low back pain intensity, maladaptive thoughts and awaited days before ideally requesting a MRI will be evaluated.
Treating patients with super-obesity has always been challenging for bariatric surgeons due to the higher risk of postoperative complications and the limited success of commonly used bariatric procedures (restrictive and hypo-absorptive). In this context, these patients are often considered for more complex procedures, such as hypo-absorptive interventions. Over the past 15 years, a new hypo-absorptive procedure called single-anastomosis duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion (SADI-S) has been introduced and recognized as a bariatric procedure by leading national and international scientific societies. It has shown promising short- and medium-term results regarding weight loss and metabolic improvements. The SADI-S procedure is a technically complex multi-quadrant surgery. This study aims to evaluate the equivalence in terms of morbidity between laparoscopic and robotic approaches for patients undergoing this procedure.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ecopipam tablets in children (greater than or equal to [>=] 6 and less than [<] 12 years of age), adolescents (>=12 and <18 years of age), and adults (>=18 years of age) with Tourette's Syndrome (TS).
The sensation of smell is influenced by the somatosensory and chemesthetic sensati¬ons of the nose: for example, the cooling sensation of menthol or the prickle of carbon dioxide from carbonated drinks. These sensations are mediated in the nose by the trigeminal nerve and there is increasing evidence that trigeminal and olfactory functions are closely linked and potentially interdependent. In addition, trigeminal activation is crucial to the perception of nasal airflow. Some researchers speculate about the impact of trigeminal nerve on the entire olfactory sensation and about the presence of some specific "trigeminal cells" into the nose.Patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS) can suffer from quantitative olfactory disorders that generally are of light entity and do not interfere with daily life activities but it is important to underline that olfactory loss can be an onset sign of the MS. Considering the "trigeminal component" in the olfaction, because trigeminal nerve inflammation is quite common in MS patients due to central and peripheral inflammation, it could be possible that these patients suffer from changes in the quantitative, but more in the qualitative smell functions that are generally not identified because poorly investigated.
The study of biological profiling is of fundamental importance in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, particularly oncological ones, and for this reason, the integration of molecular characterization into clinical practice becomes essential. NGS allows a high number of samples to be sequenced simultaneously, generating a great deal of genomic information in a short time and at reasonable cost. This information is of fundamental importance for the study of oncogenic drivers and gene alterations that may have a prognostic and/or predictive role in response to new molecularly targeted drugs. Policlinico A. Gemelli has begun a process of internal reorganization of the research infrastructure following its recognition in 2018 as an Institute of Hospitalization and Treatment with Scientific Character (IRCCS) for its commitment to the disciplines of "Personalized Medicine" and "Innovative Biotechnology." In particular, with regard to genomics, will be equipped with a state-of-the-art technological asset that includes a fully automated process for sample preparation and the highest gene sequencing power available today. This condition makes it possible to perform extensive genomic profiling for large numbers of patients at low cost and in reasonable time.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the main clinical and anamnestic characteristics, and frailty syndrome in an adult Cystic Fibrosis population. The main question it aims to answer is the possible association of the frailty status with the main clinical, therapeutical characteristics, including the genotyping classification of Cystic Fibrosis patients.
