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.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of certolizumab pegol in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as part of routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Camidanlumab Tesirine (ADCT-301) in participants with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib cream in adolescent and adult participants with non-segmental vitiligo for whom total body involved vitiligo area (facial and nonfacial) does not exceed 10% body surface area (BSA).
The purpose of the protocol is to assess the longitudinal attainment of person-centered and function related goals of patients who receive AbobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) injections for adult lower limb spasticity over a period of 16 months.
Depression has to be considered as a systematic illness involving the whole body, it is often associated with low-grade inflammation and alterations of the microbiome. In this regard, an unhealthy diet increases the risk of the onset of this disorder, therefore an integrated treatment including a healthy diet could be more effective. The aim of our study were to verify the efficacy of a structured FT program, delivered in individual setting, for patients with depression (PSY group), and to verify whether the association of a FMD protocol with the structured FT program significantly improves clinical outcomes (PSY-FMD group). After a psychiatric, psychological and anthropometric assessment, depressed patients were randomly assigned to psychotherapy and diet (PSY-FMD) or just psychotherapy (PSY). PSY-FMD participants received 20 individual sessions of Functional Psychotherapy. Each session attended twice a week for the first 8 weeks and once a week for the remaining 4. Furthermore, they received a nutritional consultation and prescription of a Fasting Mimicking Diet. PSY group received just the psychotherapy protocol and the nutritional consultation. All patients were retested at the end of the treatment and at follow-up 3 months after the last session. In both groups was highlighted a strong effectiveness of treatments on depression, self-esteem and quality of life. In the PSY-FMD group compared to PSY a significant effect was found on the improvement of self-esteem and quality of life. Furthermore, a significant reduction of BMI was found in the PSY-FMD group. The current study supports the effectiveness of the combination of psychotherapy with a fasting mimicking diet in adult depressed patients.
The study evaluates differences in perceived and objective workload in anesthetists during intubation procedure with a direct (Mcintosh) or indirect (Glidescope) laryngoscope. Expert anesthetists will perform 3 intubations per device, while completing a secondary task, during which reaction times to an auditory stimulus will be recorded, and will complete a questionnaire (the NASA-Task Load Index) to evaluate their perceived workload at the end of each procedure.
AIM: to investigate the influence of different music genres on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of preterm infants. Neonates undergo a daily randomized music listening program. An electrocardiogram is performed to evaluate HRV parameters in each neonate with and without music exposure.
This study will evaluate the performance of the VIDAS® Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ) Release Assay (TB-IGRA) assay, which is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection. This study is designed to assess (1) the sensitivity of this assay, (2) its percent agreement with other diagnostic tests, (3) its measurement precision , and (4) any potential interference of the presence of other non-tuberculosis mycobacterial bacterial infections with this assay.
The project aims at unraveling the role of organ-specific endothelia mediating the preferential metastasisation of breast cancer cells to bone by using a multi-faceted approach, integrating microfluidics and transcriptomic profiling. Based on a recently study published by the investigators [Jeon et al., PNAS 2015], it can be hypothesized that phenotypic differences at the level of organ-specific endothelial cells are able to drive the preferential extravasation of breast cancer cells to specific sites. Hence, the transcriptional profile of primary organ-specific endothelial cells derived from healthy patients (i.e. non-affected by breast cancer) will be analyzed to identify phenotypic differences between organ-specific populations of endothelial cells. These analyses will allow to identify potential target genes involved in the organ-specific extravasation of cancer cells (i.e. genes differentially expressed by endothelia of preferential and non-preferential metastasisation sites). The selected genes will be silenced and the effect of gene silencing will be evaluated through microfluidic in vitro organ-specific 3D models designed to study cancer cell extravasation.
The purpose for the study consists in the assessment of the role of Neurotidine® (citicoline oral solution) on the dopaminergic pathway and particularly its potential implications on psychophysical performance and quality of life. Other objectives are the assessment of the tolerability and safety of Neurotidine®.
