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 test the Safety and activity of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). Activity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced SNUC has been already demonstrated; the primary hypothesis is that the addition of pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant and adjuvant agent might confirm the results obtained with a combined treatment strategy including chemotherapy, decreasing the burden of treatment-related side effects.
This study aims to validate and verify the reliability of the clinical measures used in the daily routine by doctors and therapists that allow assessing the spinal stiffness in all spatial planes. The secondary objective is the verification of the diagnostic accuracy of the most reliable tests in identifying the subjects at risk of failure, using as a radiographic standard the examinations performed by the patients during the treatment (data retrieved retrospectively) using as a control group those patients who did not obtain a correction of the spine curvature.
Myelodysplastic syndromes, primarily affecting older adults, are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis that manifest clinically as anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia of variable severity; these often result in RBC- transfusion dependent (TD) anemia, increased risk of infection, and/or hemorrhage, as well as a potential to progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Lenalidomide is approved for red blood cell transfusion-dependent (RBC TD) anemia due to low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with a chromosome 5q deletion (del5q) with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. About one third of patients are refractory/resistant/intolerant and will require further treatment options. Luspatercept (ACE-536), an erythroid maturation agent, is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a modified form of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the human activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) linked to the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1-Fc). Luspatercept acts on endogenous inhibitors of late-stage erythropoiesis (eg, growth differentiation factor 11, GDF11) to increase release of mature erythrocytes into circulation. Nonclinical data have demonstrated that luspatercept binds to negative regulators governing late-stage erythroid development to inhibit their action, thereby promoting the maturation of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. Luspatercept is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anaemia associated with beta-thalassaemia and due to very low, low and intermediate-risk MDS with ring sideroblasts, who had an unsatisfactory response to or are ineligible for erythropoietin-based-therapy. It is not indicated for other MDS subtypes. Unfortunately, patients with MDS with del5q refractory/resistant/intolerant to lenalidomide are excluded from clinical trials that evaluate novel treatments for the anemia of RBC TD lower risk MDS. Therefore, treatment of anemia in such patients is an unmet need. QOL-ONE Phoenix is a Phase 2, multicenter, single arm, prospective study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and who require RBC transfusions. The study is divided into a Screening Period, a 2-year Treatment Period and a 3-year Follow-up Period. Primary objective is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI (lack of transfusions for 8 consecutive weeks within the first 24 weeks) in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and RBC TD.
The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that non-surgical periodontal therapy on peri-implant mucositis resolution results in a greater clinical improvement in patients with congruous versus non-congruous single dental implant restoration.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and endoscopic efficacy of guselkumab in pediatric participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) at the end of maintenance therapy (Week 52) among participants who were in clinical response to guselkumab at Week 12.
The investigators hypothesize that the association of I-ONE® therapy with standard rehabilitation treatment can optimize the clinical and functional recovery of patients with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) (I-ONE® therapy) of the foot or ankle.
Observational study on the influence of frailty on cardiovascular risk in COPD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of the RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine in an immunocompromised (lung and renal transplant recipients) population and assess whether a second dose of the vaccine increases the immune response.
The purpose of this study is to analyze AMH levels in patients with prolonged FHA (more than 2 years). Based on previous studies, we can assume that prolonged FHA may mimic a condition of primary hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, due to a lasting interruption of gonadotropin release. Furthermore, after the resumption of the spontaneous menstrual cycle, we will reanalyze AMH levels, which we hypothesize to find higher. If our hypotheses are confirmed correct, we could support the thesis that AMH is not a good index of ovarian reserve in patients with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea.
