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 purpose of this study is to explore whether the addition of Hemopatch to standard care can reduce prolonged air leaks and shorten the use of air drainage tube after surgery in thoracic lung surgery patients at high risk for prolonged air leaks.
Prospective data collection of a consecutive series of elderly patients with large B-cell lymphoma newly diagnosed, receiving before the start of treatment Multidimensional Geriatric Assessment (VGM) through the use of Activity of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the BMS Attachment Inhibitor (BMS-663068) is effective in the treatment of heavily treatment experienced HIV-1 patients with multi-drug resistance.
Prospective, interventional multicenter study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) via infusion of LN-144 (autologous TIL) followed by interleukin 2 (IL-2) after a nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion (NMA LD) preconditioning regimen.
A phase III multicenter, randomized study with Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) maintenance versus observation after intensified induction regimen containing rituximab followed by high dose chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation as first line treatment in adult patients with advanced Mantle Cell Lymphoma: IIL study (MCL0208).
This post market registry consists of a retrospective and a prospective part. The first part is a retrospective registry of all implanted IBE devices of Gore in the Netherlands after CE mark was obtained, to get an initial insight on the feasibility and safety of this procedure. The second part is to prospectively register all data on implanted IBE Gore devices, in order to gain more robust data on the efficacy of the device in maintaining hypogastric artery patency.
The Buckypaper (BP) is an innovative material that has attracted the attention of many research groups engaged in the study of its possible applications in various technological fields. Our purpose is demonstrate the viability of the application of nanotechnologies to the General Surgery in human with thwe use of a new self standing prosthetic device for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects.
Bev improves the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy in unresectable mCRC. In the phase III TRIBE trial upfront FOLFOXIRI plus bev provided a significant advantage in terms of PFS and RR compared to FOLFIRI plus bev. A trend toward better OS was also evidenced. The second-line treatment was at investigator's choice. A manageable increase in diarrhea, mucositis and neutropenia was reported, while no differences in febrile neutropenia, serious adverse events and toxic deaths were evidenced. A growing amount of data support the clinical relevance of achieving an early and deep tumor shrinkage. Phase III TML and BEBYP trials demonstrated that the continuation of bev beyond disease progression combined with a switched chemotherapy regimen provided a significant advantage in terms of OS and PFS. Based on recent evidences, the partial interruption of the upfront "induction" chemotherapy before disease progression and the prosecution of bev until disease progression as maintenance treatment is a valid strategy in the treatment of mCRC. On the basis of these considerations, a first-line doublet plus bev followed by a second-line switched doublet (from oxaliplatin to irinotecan and viceversa) plus bev should be considered a standard option for mCRC patients. Only retrospectively collected data are currently available about the efficacy of first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bev followed by second-line rechallenge with FOLFOXIRI plus bev. We therefore designed the present phase III randomized trial of first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bev followed by reintroduction of FOLFOXIRI plus bev at progression versus FOLFOX plus bev followed by FOLFIRI plus bev at progression in first- and second-line treatment of unresectable mCRC patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary fats may affect postprandial glycemic response differently according to their quality, and these effects may differ whether they are assumed in the context of meals with high or low glycemic index in patients with type 1 diabetes. This interaction between quality of fat and glycemic index of carbohydrates may have clinical implication for the calculation of prandial insulin dose in these patients.
This is an open, non comparative, multicentre phase II trial, to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a new sequential combination of HD-MTX-AraC-based chemoimmunotherapy, followed by R-ICE regimen, and by high-dose chemotherapy supported by ASCT.
