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.
A prospective, longitudinal, cross-sectional, observational Study with a 8-week Follow-up to evaluate the renewal of corneal nerves structure and function in patients with Neurotrophic Keratopathy treated with recombinant human Nerve Growth Factor (rhNGF) eyedrops.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, which is a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscles of the body. The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body due to the degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. Current drugs approved for ALS treatment only modestly slow disease progression. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique, which has been demonstrated to modulate cerebral excitability in several neurodegenerative disorders and modulate intracortical connectivity measures. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study followed by an open-label phase, the investigators will evaluate whether a repetition of two-weeks' treatment with bilateral motor cortex anodal tDCS and spinal cathodal tDCS, after a six months interval, may further outlast clinical improvement in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and can modulate intracortical connectivity, at short and long term.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 650 in adult participants and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
McArdle's disease or Glycogen storage disease type 5 (GSD5), the most common muscle glycogenosis, is a rare disabling condition with no effective treatment. There are indications that a special dietary regimen could positively influence the disease manifestations. After contradictory indications for protein rich vs carbohydrate rich diets, several preliminary studies and more and more patients own experiences are now pointing to a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) as possibly effective in improving exercise tolerance and reducing muscle damage. The investigators propose a multicentre randomized single blind controlled trial testing efficacy of an individualized LCKD in GSD5. The investigators will test the ability of a 6 months dietary regimen with a 3:1 LCKD inducing a BOHB blood concentration of 1.5-4 mmol/l to improve the aerobic capacity as measured by peak VO2 at exercise testing in GSD5 patients. Thirty molecularly defined MCA adults will be enrolled: to half of them randomly selected the dietary regimen will be prescribed, while subjects in the control group will follow their usual balanced diet. The evaluators will be blinded to the diet followed by the examined patient
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 remdesivir (RDV) regimens with respect to clinical status assessed by a 7-point ordinal scale on Day 14.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 remdesivir (RDV) regimens compared to standard of care (SOC), with respect to clinical status assessed by a 7-point ordinal scale on Day 11.
Mitochondria is the cellular organelle responsible for the production of the energy necessary to fuel sperm motility. It has been demonstrated that mitochondrial efficiency is correlated to the fertilizing capacity of the spermatozoon and to the production of high quality embryos. Mitochondria efficiency is measured in the laboratory setting by evaluating the mitochondrial membrane potential. Myo-inositol is the most represented stereoisomer of the family of inositols and is the only one physiologically concentrated within the seminal plasma. It is essential for sperm maturation and motility and its deficiency is also associated to a reduced sperm count. Myo-inositol promotes motility and allows recovering a higher number of sperm cells after swim-up, both in normospermic patients and in patients with altered seminal parameters. Scientific studies have shown that semen samples treated in vitro with ANDROSITOL®DGN, show an improvement in mitochondrial efficiency that results in an increase in spermatozoa progressive motility. Based on the percentage increase in the progressive motility showed by the spermatozoa after incubation with ANDROSITOL®DGN (ANDROSITOL®TEST), it is possible to subdivide the semen samples into three categories: low, medium, and high responders. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the in vitro response of spermatozoa to ANDROSITOL®TEST correlates with the in vivo improvement of seminal parameters after oral treatment with antioxidants and myo-inositol.
Randomized controlled double-blind trial in a child population with allergic asthma and recurring wheezing, undergoing probiotic treatment with Bifiasthm with the aim of assessing the reduction in asthma attacks.
An innovative methodology is developed to better understand parent-infant relationships. RGB-D sensors (such as Microsoft Kinect) give us the opportunity of online skeleton extraction based on the joints architecture of human bodies. These technologies provide automatic quantitative information of dyadic play, in order to get micro and macro features of the dynamic flow occurring during the interaction. This methodology looks at both behavioral features and objective measurement of spatial proximity and variations during free and structured interactions.
The main goal of the study is to verify the efficacy of the GRAIL system in respect to the walking pattern improvement in a population of hemiparetic subjects. In particular, the specific goals will be: - increase in walking symmetry and a better distribution among the time of stance and swing. - Kinematics and Kinetics correction, with incentive of more corrected activation timing. - Recruitment of the muscles most involved by the paresis, with the help of visual feedback. - walking speed increase (but with the priority of the walking pattern) - increase in the resistance - Stregthening of the support reaction
