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 is being performed to understand the effect of different doses of CK-3773274 on patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
A combination of correct interpretation of imaging and biopsy has given promising results in terms of detecting clinically significant cancer at radical prostatectomy.
This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of posaconazole (POS) intravenous (IV) and oral formulations in pediatric participants 2 to <18 years of age with invasive aspergillosis (IA).
Of all the determinants of lesion creation during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, left atrial wall thickness (LAWT), as measured with multi-detector cardiac tomography (MDCT) is one key element that has been evaluated in some retrospective analyses but is not yet used per protocol to modulate the radiofrequency delivery. Adapting ablation index (AI) to LAWT would be very useful in standardising the ablation procedure with parameters fitted to every patient, enabling the development of a personalized approach that will both: i) increase efficacy by performing transmural lesions to prevent the formation of conduction gaps in the initial lesion set, and ii) increase safety by preventing excessive RF delivery on thin wall areas related to procedural complications, such as cardiac perforation or atrio-esophageal fistula. The investigators sought to evaluate the feasibility, safety, efficacy and reproducibility of guiding AF ablation procedures with the integrated MDCT-derived LAWT information.
The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works in patients with irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that can lead to blood clots, stroke and other heart-related complications. In addition researchers want to compare the safety of the study drug to apixaban, a non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation. This study is also done to learn how the drug in this study moves into, through and out of the body. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor. Apixaban, works by reducing the production of blood clotting factors in our body and thins the blood and is a so called non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC). Thinning the blood can prevent you from blood clots which can cause a stroke.
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is accurate to identify acute myocardial damage (edema, hyperemia, and/or fibrosis) due to acute myocarditis (AM). Recently, two-dimensional strain echocardiography was also validated in order to provide important information on myocardial dysfunction in patients with AM, even if no wall motion abnormalities are detected. No data are available about incidence of longitudinal myocardial dysfunction and its prognostic role in AM.
Aim of the present study is to compare the response to furosemide stress test in term of diuresis and electrolytes and of the renal index in mechanically ventilated patients at admission and after 3 days in patients with and without the presence of AKI
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder with a significant impact on health and quality of life. The non-pharmacological interventions address to psychological sequalae currently available are limited and have poor efficacy. Well-Being Therapy (WBT) is a brief psychotherapy which has shown efficacy in decreasing the relapse rates of depression in adults, in generalized anxiety disorder and in cyclothymia. WBT has never been tested in SSc and it might represent a useful complementary therapeutic option to improve SSc patients' well-being. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the psychological status of the SSc patients and to test the efficacy of WBT in a sample of SSc patients if compared to a control condition.
Fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total hip arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, number of transfusions and analgesic consumption.
This retrospective study evaluates 52 cases of avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN) treated by core decompression, bone chips allograft, fibrin platelet rich-plasma (PRF) and concentrated autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).
