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.
Prospective non-randomized parallel-assignment multi-center clinical investigation. The study design includes two subject cohorts: 1) Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Main Study, and 2) Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation High Standard Power Substudy. Subjects in the main study cohorts are to be treated using the full range of ablation power settings in the Instructions For Use. Subjects in the High Standard Power Substudy are to be treated in the upper end of the recommended ablation power settings (40-50 Watts).
Despite perioperative autologous donation (PAD) is widely used in healthy bone marrow (BM) donors to restrain the hemoglobin decrease after BM harvest, this practice is not supported by strong clinical evidences and has been abandoned by some transplant teams. The critical revision of data relative to 102 BM collection procedures performed at our center between 2014 and 2018 failed to demonstrate an advantage of 1 over 2 PAD. Conversely, clearly emerged that PAD reduce the hemoglobin levels at BM harvest. Basically, PAD practice consists in the transfer of RBCs from the subject into a plastic bag and back to the subject at BM harvesting. Indeed, the evidence of clinical benefits of PAD in BM donors are still elusive. For this reason, current procedures on unrelated donors recommend iron and vitamin supplementation before the BM harvest, but let the decision to perform or not PAD at collection centers. Detailed data on the safety and feasibility of BM harvest procedures in absence of PAD have been rarely reported. The investigators collect data on BM harvest in healthy donors who don't have PAD collected. The investigators expect that no allogeneic transfusions are required and that Hb levels after collection are similar to those recorded in the historical cohort gathered at the same center receiving 1 or 2 PAD.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now the most common bariatric procedure to treat morbidly obese patients. The main concern of LSG lies in the long-term weight regain which is reported to happen in up to 75.6% of patients after 6 years. The Investigators report the overall experience with Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy (LBSG) using the Minimizer over a six-year period.
The study was aimed at investigating the relationship between hormone parameters and urinary aldosterone levels in 24h within a cohort of overweight and obesity.
To test the effectiveness of a collagen-based treatment for patients complaining of long standing facial nerve axonotmesis, who are following a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation protocol (Kabat method), compared to a group only undergoing the Kabat method.
Policies for timing of cord clamping vary, with early cord clamping generally carried out in the first 60 seconds aLer birth, whereas latercord clamping usually involves clamping the umbilical cord greater than one minute after the birth or when cord pulsation has ceased
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. Cost-effective post-stroke rehabilitation programs are critically needed. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems which enable the modulation of EEG sensorimotor rhythms are promising tools to promote early improvements of motor rehabilitation outcomes after stroke. This project intends to boost this BCI application beyond the state of art by providing: i) evidence for a short/long-term efficacy in enhancing post-stroke functional hand motor recovery; and ii) quantifiable indices (beyond clinical scales) sensitive to stroke participant's response to a Promotoer (BCI system compatible with clinical setting) -based intervention. To these aims, a longitudinal randomized controlled trial will be performed in which, subacute stroke participants will undergo a Promotoer- assisted hand motor imagery training.
The investigators conducted a RCT (parallel group study with 1:1 randomisation) comparing ECC (at 60 seconds) and DCC (at 180 seconds) in 90 cases of normal birth by' two-step' delivery. In term infants born by' two-step' delivery, DCC results is a higher blood volume in the newborn and facilitates the maternal-placental-fetal exchange of circulating compounds, without potentially detrimental neonatal outcomes.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort study to assess safety and efficacy of CC-90011 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with small cell lung cancer or squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed after 1 or 2 lines of therapies. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the overall response rate of subjects treated with CC-90011 in combination with nivolumab in three cohorts: - Cohort A: SCLC in ICI naïve subjects - Cohort B: SCLC in ICI progressor subjects - Cohort C: sqNSCLC in ICI progressor subjects Overall response rate is defined as the proportion of subjects in the treated population who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by Investigator review per RECIST v1.1. In Cohort A, expected ORR for nivolumab monotherapy is 14% while target ORR is 30%. To achieve at least 80% power with one-sided type 1 error 0.1, 39 subjects will be enrolled according to a 2-stage group sequential design based on a binomial test. In stage 1, 12 subjects will be enrolled and treated with CC-90011 in combination with nivolumab. If there are 2 or more subjects responding, Cohort A will continue to enroll an additional 27 subjects. If 1 or less subjects respond in stage 1, Cohort A will stop for futility. In Cohort B and C, expected ORR for nivolumab monotherapy is 5% while target ORR is 15%. To achieve at least 80% power with one-sided type 1 error 0.1, 48 subjects will be enrolled according to a 2-stage group sequential design based on a binomial test. In stage 1, 14 subjects will be enrolled and treated with CC-90011 in combination with nivolumab. If there are 1 or more subjects responding, Cohort B and C will continue to enroll an additional 34 subjects each. If 0 subjects respond in stage 1, Cohort B and C will stop for futility.
In light of the controversy that are already approved but that however still exists regarding the efficacy and influence of the decontaminant tools for the management of Periodontitis (, the aim of this study was to evaluate, at 6 months follow-up, the post-treatment clinical parameters and immunological and gingival microbial profiles in patients with periodontitis, treated by either SRP in addition to phytotherapeutic drug or SRP alone.
