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.
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
This study is looking at how Mim8 works in people with haemophilia A, who either have inhibitors or do not have inhibitors. Mim8 is a new medicine that will be used to avoid bleeding episodes. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). When and how often the participants will receive Mim8 in this study depends on the treatment participant receives in the current Mim8 study participant is taking part in. The study will last for up to 5.5 years. The duration of the study depends on when the participant enrolled in this study. The study will end if Mim8 is approved and marketed in participant's country during the study, or the study will end in 2028, whichever comes first. Mim8 will be injected under the skin with a thin needle either once a week, once every two weeks or once a month. Participants will get up to 262 injections; the number of injections depends on how often participants will get injections. While taking part in this study, there are some restrictions about what medicine participants can use. The study doctor will tell the participants more about this. In case the participants experience bleeds, these can be treated with additional haemostatic medicine as agreed with the study doctor. Female participants cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
To determine whether or not preventive administration of resveratrol in the form of a nasal spray is effective in reducing the number of asthma exacerbations typical of preschool wheezing children who develop viral infections.
The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multicenter extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of inclisiran in participants with HeFH or HoFH who have completed the ORION-16 or ORION-13 studies.
This is an international, multicenter trial, evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK) (4 weeks), safety (52 weeks), and hemoglobin (Hgb) response (52 weeks) to daprodustat in children and adolescent participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) incorporating 2 independent sub-trials (Non dialysis [ND] and Dialysis [D]). This study will enroll participants with anemia associated with CKD, in 2 distinct sub-populations differing only by their CKD stage and dialysis requirement (ND: CKD stage 3 to 5 not yet receiving dialysis and D: CKD stage 5d undergoing peritoneal dialysis [PD] or hemodialysis [HD]). The maximum duration of the study will be approximately 60 weeks, including Screening period (up to 4 weeks), treatment period (52 weeks), and follow-up period (4 weeks). Outcome measures are identical for the ND and D sub-trials, but will be separately assessed in each sub- trials, overall and within each age subgroups (12 to less than [<] 18 years, 6 to <12 years, 2 to <6 years, and 3 months to <2 years). Except for PK and dose change, which is within each age group only.
The current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy is very heterogeneous among studies published in the literature; in addition, clear outcomes advantages of one strategy over another currently lack. The goal of this observational study is to describe the current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB), stratified by baseline respiratory condition, co-morbidities, type of procedure and hospital settings. Investigators will enroll all adult patients undergoing any fiberoptic bronchoscopy in any clinical settings (from outpatients to critically ill patients). No specific exclusion criteria are indicated for enrollment in this study. Investigators will record the following data: - Patient's baseline data. - Type of FOB procedure: toilet bronchoscopy (for secretions, blood, mucus plugs removal), broncho-aspirate (BAS), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), brushing for cytology, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The type and size of bronchoscope (with or without an internal/external camera) and the time of the procedure will be also recorded. - Type of supportive strategy: no support, Standard Oxygen Therapy, High Flow Nasal Cannula, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and or non invasive ventilation trough mask or helmet, invasive mechanical ventilation. - Sedation - Intra-procedural vital parameters - Occurrence of adverse events: desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 90% for at least 10 seconds), severe desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 80%), need for procedure interruption, hypotensive (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) or hypertensive (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg) events, new onset of cardiac arrhythmias (specify the rhythm) or myocardial ischemia or electrocardiographic ST-alterations, neurological events (i.e. severe sensorium depression, psychomotor agitation). - Post-procedural vital parameters (15 minutes after the procedure). - Clinical outcomes: need for support escalation, need for admission to ward (for outpatient) or ICU (for outpatients and ward-admitted patient).
Hysterectomy remains the most common major gynecological operation worldwide. It may be carried out by three different routes and its variations: vaginal, abdominal, and laparoscopic. A large uterus will lead to several surgical difficulties during laparoscopic hysterectomy, such as limited operative field, restrictive instrument range of motion, and difficult removal of the specimen. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of TLH for large uterus through transvaginal or uterine morcellation approaches after strict preoperative assessment.
ARGX-113-2010 is an open-label extension study with the aim to provide supporting evidence that efgartigimod PH20 SC is a safe and effective long-term treatment for bullous pemphigoid (BP), providing symptom control and eventually remission, while also reducing the cumulative exposure to oral corticosteroids (OCS). All participants who complete the end-of-treatment period (EoTP) visit at week 36 in ARGX-113-2009 will be invited to enroll. In ARGX-113-2009, participants received efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo with concurrent OCS, or rescue therapy (without efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo). Depending on their clinical status at the time of rollover into ARGX-113-2010, participants may stop, continue or initiate efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment. In ARGX-113-2010, participants will stop efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment when they achieve complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) while being off other concurrent BP therapy for at least 8 weeks. Participants not in CR or PR while off OCS for ≥8 weeks and not on rescue therapy will either start or continue efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment, while maintaining the treatment allocation of ARGX-113-2009 blinded. Participants may also be retreated with efgartigimod PH20 SC after a relapse. In this study, loading doses of 2000 mg (on day 1 and day 8 of a treatment course) and weekly maintenance doses of 1000 mg will be used.
