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.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about quality of life, fatigue, and other symptoms from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes may help doctors learn more about the disease and may help plan treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life and symptoms in patients with newly diagnosed myelodysplastic syndromes.
In many Northern European countries oat-based products have been used in the dieto-therapy of coeliac disease for many years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical tolerance and liking of gluten-free products containing oatmeal from a specific oat variety (not contaminated with gluten) in a sample of Italian celiac patients in pediatric age.
The use of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) allows us to perform new conservative hepatectomies. The investigators previously reported the systematic subsegmentectomy by IOUS-guided finger compression for segments 2-3, which is currently applied for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)on cirrhosis. The investigators herein describe a novel technique, which consists in the systematic right posterior sectionectomy by IOUS-guided finger compression.
The purpose of this multicenter clinical trial is to assess the clinical impact of dose intensification performed very early during treatment in a subset of poor prognosis, advanced-stage Hodgkin Lymphoma patients, defined as PET-positive after two courses of conventional adriamycin (doxorubicin), bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic properties (what the body does to maraviroc) and to determine a suitable dosing schedule of maraviroc in HIV-1 infected children and adolescents. This study will also determine whether maraviroc is safe to use in children and adolescents.
Study of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability of mycophenolate mofetil in renal transplant patients already on long-term MMF treatment (at least 6 months post-transplant; at least 3 months in therapy). Study hypothesis: to investigate whether long-term MMF therapy alters IMPDH biological activity and if there are any correlations with the risk of AR.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dasatinib is safe and effective in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), or in children with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), accelerated or blast phases CML who relapse after imatinib or who are resistant or intolerant to imatinib. The side effects of this oral investigational drug in children and adolescents will be evaluated
The purpose of this study is to define an improvement and theassessment of the Time to Treatment Failure in patients randomized in three different arms: R−CVP vs R−CHOP vs R−FM.
The purpose of this multicenter, single-arm, exact binomial single-stage, phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Nilotinib in patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors
The Systemic Necrotizing Vasculitides (SNV) encompass a group of rare diseases which include Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG), Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS), Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)and Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Common histological findings are inflammation with fibrinoid necrosis of the small vessels and sporadic or absent immune-deposits. The gold standard therapy for SNV is currently represented by the association of Cyclophosphamide and Prednisone. The limits of this approach are the high frequency of recurrent disease and an increased incidence of malignancy and infections. The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of Methotrexate vs Cyclophosphamide for Remission Maintenance in SNV.
