There are about 20800 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 goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, obeldesivir (formerly GS-5245), works and how safe it is in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in participants that have a higher risk of getting a serious illness.
The main purpose of this study is to assess is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MK-1942 as adjunctive therapy in participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) dementia.
Migraine may have an adverse effect on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. It causes major consequences for the quality of life of the sufferer and a major burden on the health care system. About the physiopathology, two opposing processes, depression (habituation) and facilitation (sensitization), determine the final behavioural outcome after a sequence of repetitive stimuli. Sensitization is a general behavioural response of augmentation to innocuous sensory and noxious stimuli. It has been associated with a dysfunction in descending pain inhibition. The nature or intensity of a painful event does not strongly relate to the development of chronic pain, but an individual's behavioural response to the event contributes to chronicity. Imaging data have identified that chronic pain may change the structure of the brain in response to environmental demands. It suggests that the brain of healthy control has a "healthy response" to frequent nociceptive input, such as "habituation", while chronic pain patients show a "maladaptive plasticity". Habituation is "a response decrement as a result of repeated stimulation". It is a phenomenon observed in the autonomic and behavioural component called the "orienting response" in humans. The orienting response is elicited when a novel stimulus is encountered, and it directs attention toward that stimulus. When the same stimulus is presented repeatedly occur habituation. Researchers have found a number of physiological mechanisms associated with Orienting response. Habituation of the orienting response is a simple form of learning and acts an attentional filtering mechanism that makes people able to select what is part of their present goal and adapt to environment. In this way only one channel of information to be processed, with the rest filtered out. Habituation depends on a memory process whereby the organism learns to associate goal irrelevant stimuli with a no-consequence response. Lack of Habituation during stimulus repetition is a functional property of the brain in people with migraine between attacks. Thalamo-cortical dysrhythmia and lack of H characterize migraineurs' brains. This abnormal information processing increases during the pain-free days, the vertex is just before the attack, and decreases in the ictal phase. Migraineurs are characterized by a generally increased sensitivity to visual (sensitivity to light), auditory (to sound), or somatic stimuli not only during the attack, but also outside of the attack. It was confirmed also by analysing motor cortex excitability. Aerobic exercises may be effective as pharmacological treatment in the management of migraine and focused attention task may help human subjects to better ignore irrelevant stimuli. The main aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a non-pharmacological treatment, such as physical therapy, with a specific dual task protocol of active exercise with concomitant cognitive tasks, in relation to habituation (Transcranial magnetic stimulation) and sensitization (Algometer assessment) neurophysiological outcomes. The second aim is to assess these non-pharmacological treatments concerning to clinical outcomes (intensity of pain, duration of attacks and frequency of pain; neurophysiological test on executive functions).
The overarching goal of the Master Protocol is to find effective strategies for inpatient management of patients with COVID-19. Therapeutic goals for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 include hastening recovery and preventing progression to critical illness, multiorgan failure, or death. Our objective is to determine whether modulating the host tissue response improves clinical outcomes among patients with COVID-19.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic heart failure. Chronic heart failure is a medical condition with shortness of breath, tiredness and ankle swelling in which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. BAY2413555 is a new compound which is under development for the treatment of heart failure. Heart failure is a serious disease in which the heart pumps less well. BAY2413555 is expected to protect the heart and improve cardiac function. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe BAY2413555 is compared to placebo in participants with chronic heart failure and implanted cardiac defibrillator, or cardiac resynchronization devices (ICD/CRT). A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine, but does not have any medicine in it. ICD/CRT are machines placed in the body that use an electric shock/impulse to reset the heart or get it beating correctly. To study the safety, the researchers will record all medical problems the participants may have during the study after starting the study treatment. Medical problems that happen after the participants have started their treatment are also known as "treatment emergent adverse events" (TEAEs). The TEAEs will be compared between participants who received BAY2413555 and those who received placebo. The second purpose of this study is to learn whether BAY2413555 effects electrical signals inside the heart compared to placebo. The study has two parts, A and B. Each part will last for two weeks. In part A, the participants will be assigned by chance to either take BAY2413555 as a tablet by mouth once per day or a placebo. Participants from part A who do not need to stop the study based on predefined criteria continue in part B. They will be assigned by chance to receive either the same dose of BAY2413555 as in part A or a higher dose. Participants who have taken placebo in part A will as well be assigned in part B. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 90 days (including the screening period and follow-up period). In the study, participants will take study medication for 28 days. 8 visits to the study site and 1 telephone contact visit are planned. During the study, the study team will: - do physical examinations - check vital signs - examine heart health using ECG - check the participants' ICD/CRT information - take exercise testing - take blood and urine samples - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling about their quality of life - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments or a study procedure. Participants will be closely monitored during the entire study duration and site personnel will take action to mitigate any negative effect, if any, as appropriate. About 30 days after the participants take their last treatment, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health.

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, also known as GTPS (Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome) is a complex clinical condition characterized by chronic and recurrent pain in the lateral region of the hip, near the greater trochanter of the femur. Biomechanical and anatomic-histologic interactions of the structures of the peri trochanteric space, in which, given the close anatomic-functional relationships, the origin can be traced to three different pathologic entities that may influence each other and fuel the progressive exacerbation of symptomatology. These are: external snap hip, trochanteric bursitis, and tendinopathies of the tendons of the gluteus mediums and gluteus minimums muscles. Recent studies regarding GTPS have shown that in most cases this condition is due to degenerative tendinopathy of the tendons of the gluteus minimums and gluteus mediums muscles. Tendinopathy is defined as a pathological condition associated with histological changes that may result in a change in the organization of collagen fibrils, relative increase in the percentage of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and no collagenous components of the ECM accompanied by neo-vascularization and inflammatory state. Tendinopathies thus result in painful symptomatology that very often also results in biomechanical functional deficit. Clinically, GTPS presents as pain that is often debilitating and exacerbated by activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and lying on the affected side at night, associated with a progressive loss of stenia in hip abduction movements. On objective examination, a point of tenderness (trigger point) is noted at the level of the region of the greater trochanter, which may radiate to the lumbar area and along the lateral aspect of the thigh to the ipsilateral knee and a difficulty on strength versus resistance tests in hip abduction movements. Although it is a very common syndrome, the treatment of painful grand trochanter syndrome, as well as that of tendinopathies in general, is still a major hurdle because the specific cellular pathogenetic and biomechanical etiopathogenetic mechanisms are still partly unknown and many treatments are empirical. Traditionally, the treatment of GTPS is initially conservative and includes rest, ice, NSAIDs and physiotherapy with stretching exercises of the fascia late. The use of corticosteroids, with systemic or local infiltrative intake, for the treatment of tendinopathies is highly controversial and, in any case, does not seem to have long-term efficacy. MD-Tissue Collagen Medical Device is an injectable medical device based on porcine collagen type I; the collagen content is 100µg/2mL. Porcine collagen is like human collagen and highly compatible; it has very low risks of inducing adverse effects and is therefore used in several clinical settings.
Participants who are in clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib once daily (q.d.) for at least 2 consecutive quarterly visits in the ongoing SELECTION-LTE study (GS-US-418-3899, NCT02914535), are planned to be rolled over and randomized in this study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib in participants in stable clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib q.d. for whom the dose was decreased to 100 mg q.d. compared to participants remaining on 200 mg q.d.
The purpose of this study was to confirm a safe dose and schedule as well as the preliminary efficacy of siremadlin alone, and in combination with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), in adult participants with AML who are in remission following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) but are at high risk for relapse based on the presence of pre-transplant risk factors.
