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.
Over time, the accumulation of carbon dioxide reduces the pressure gradient for the alveolar transfer of oxygen, limiting the successful duration of apneic oxygenation. NIRS (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) technology is able to provide an estimate of the regional balance between demand and supply of brain oxygen. The primary hypothesis of this study is that although high-flow oxygen therapy may be associated with transiently higher PaCO2 values than those found in patients undergoing tracheal intubation and traditional mechanical ventilation, due to the brevity of this phenomenon the variations in the average values of frontal cerebral tissue oxygen saturation are expected to be of similar magnitude between the two groups. Secondary objectives will be the comparison of the success rate of high-flow oxygen therapy compared to traditional airway management by mechanical ventilation. The success rate will be defined as blood pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) <= 65 mmHg and/or peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) >= 94% throughout the procedure, in the absence of adverse events (haemodynamic alteration, dyspnea, discomfort). The data will be analyzed according to an intention-to-treat principle. Continuous variables with repeated measurements will be compared with a mixed-effect linear regression model. Normality of distribution will be verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Continuous variables will be compared with Student t- or Mann-Whitney test; categorical variables with the Chi-square test.

In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB080. The study will focus on participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if BIIB080 can slow the worsening of AD more than placebo. It will focus on what dose of BIIB080 slows worsening of AD the most. To help answer this question, researchers will use the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes, also known as the CDR-SB. - Clinicians use the CDR-SB to measure several categories of dementia symptoms. - The results for each category are added together for a total score. Lower scores are better. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB080. The study will be split into 2 parts. The 1st part is the Placebo-Controlled Period. The 2nd part is the Long-Term Extension Period. The 2nd part of the study will help researchers learn about the long-term safety of BIIB080, and how it affects the participant's daily life, thinking, and memory abilities in the longer term. A description of how the study will be done is given below. - After screening, participants will first receive either a low dose or high dose of BIIB080, or a placebo, as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - Participants will receive BIIB080 or placebo once every 12 weeks or 24 weeks. - After 76 weeks of treatment in the Placebo-Controlled Period, eligible participants will move onto the Extension Treatment period, which will last 96 weeks. - In the extension period, participants who received placebo will be switched to high dose BIIB080 every 12 or 24 weeks. - Participants may be in the study for up to 201 weeks, or about 4 years. This includes the screening and follow-up periods. - Participants can continue to take certain medications for AD. Participants must be on the same dose of medication for at least 8 weeks before the screening period. - After the screening period, most participants will visit the clinic every 6 weeks.
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase I study, which primary objective is to characterize the safety and tolerability of PIT565 and to identify maximal tolerated doses (MTDs) and/or recommended doses (RDs), schedule and route of administration in relapsed and/or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R B-NHL) and relapsed and/or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL).
This is a clinical prospective, no-Profit, Interventional, Premarket Medical Device "early phase", multicentre, single-arm study, based on collecting data on predictive biomarkers of mCRC patients, integrate them with the results of the retrospective evaluation of outcomes and profiles of historical mCRC patients previously treated in the Oncology Units, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the best administered treatment. Results from the retrospective evaluation, will serve to build an AI-based profile capable to identify "good" or "poor" responders to therapy and to support the clinician towards the best treatment option. AI is a software based on algorithm defined as Medical Device Class IIa.
In this clinical trial, the aim is to determine if regular screening with pooled saliva tests (Lolli-Method) is useful to support school opening and to reduce clusters and attack rates in schools, compared with the standard of care (SoC) regular surveillance based on symptoms and contact tracing by public health departments.
Patients with vulvar cancer who underwent multiple treatments (surgery and radiation therapy or chemoradiation, radiation therapy or chemoradiation and chemotherapy), or patients not eligible for standard therapies. The study aims to: - Evaluate the oncology response to electroporation after administration of Bleomycin (BLM) + carboplatinum (CBP )to BLM alone in terms of local progression-free survival (LPFS) in women with relapsed vulvar cancer after multimodal treatments. - Compare quality of life (HR-QoL) in the two groups of patients with questionnaires (FACT-V, FACT-PAL, E5-5L-D5). - To compare Overall Survival in the two study arms. - To compare local and systemic toxicity, morbidity and mortality, intraoperative and post-operative complications among the two study arms. - To compare costs and cost-effectiveness between the two study arms.
HPI monitoring and the adoption of therapeutic interventions before hypotension occurs should be ensure a shorter time of intra-operative hypotension (MAP < 65 mmHg) during deceased-donor kidney transplant surgery. The control group is represented by patients undergoing the same surgical procedure with hemodynamic monitoring with invasive blood pressure monitoring which represents the gold standard for this surgery. HPI monitoring has not yet been investigated during this surgery.
This is a multi-centre, multi-national, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel, randomised Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of a fixed dose combination of Spironolactone, Pioglitazone and Metformin (SPIOMET) for adolescent girls and young adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Study description: Currently, there is no European Medicines Agency /U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescent girls and young adult women. Oral contraceptives (OCs) are prescribed off-label to approximately 98% of AYAs with PCOS, including those without pregnancy risk. OCs alleviate key symptoms by inducing a pharmacological combination of anovulatory subfertility, regular pseudo-menses, and extreme elevations of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), but OCs do not revert the underlying pathophysiology, and patients remain at risk for post-treatment subfertility and possibly, for lifelong co-morbidities. Given the key role of hepato-visceral fat excess in the pathogenesis of PCOS, the prime aim of the treatment should be to achieve a preferential loss of central fat, which should in turn normalise the entire PCOS phenotype. Recent evidence disclosed that a treatment consisting of a fixed low-dose combination of two insulin sensitisers [pioglitazone (PIO) and metformin (MET), with different modes of action], and one mixed anti-androgen and anti-mineralocorticoid (spironolactone), was superior to an OC in normalising the PCOS phenotype, including ovulation rates and hepato-visceral fat. The study's main goals are to assess the efficacy, tolerability and safety of a new treatment (SPIOMET) for adolescent girls and young adult women with polycistic ovarian syndrome; the comparison (in this order) of each SPIOMET, spironolactone and pioglitazone (SPIO) and PIO over placebo; and in addition, the comparison of SPIOMET over PIO and over SPIO (in this order). Primary Objective: To test the efficacy of SPIOMET in normalising ovulation rate in adolescents and young adult women with PCOS. Secondary Objectives: To test the efficacy of SPIOMET in normalising the endocrine-metabolic status, to describe the drug safety profile and to assess the adherence and subjective acceptability, as well as the quality of life of the participating subjects.
