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 management of chronic diseases requires a constant monitoring of treatment adherence, in order to obtain an optimal disease control. However, this is often difficult to achieve, especially in pediatric age. In this sense, for asthmatic patients treated by Symbicort Turbohaler, "AstraZeneca" developed the "Turbo+", an electronic device attached to the Turbohaler, which allows to feel whether the patient does the inhalation, and to register it on a specific application. The present randomized trial aims to compare the treatment adherence between asthmatic children/adolescents aged 6-17 years treated with Symbicort Turbohaler plus Turbo+ or Symbicort Turbohaler without Turbo+.
This study aims to evaluate the rate of patients submitted to pancreatic resection for pancreatic cancer, who fail to access to adjuvant therapy or do not complete adjuvant therapy. The purpose is to give an overview concerning the most frequent conditions and/or reasons associated with failure or omission of adjuvant therapy.
The ARCANGEL study evaluates the feasibility of introducing ARC (Assisted Rehabilitation Care), a new device for home-based post-stroke rehabilitation in the current clinical practise. All the stroke survivors included in the study will received their own equipment to be used at home for 6 months.
The objective of this post-market, clinical follow up (PMCF) study, is to confirm the long-term safety of the Tendril STS and Isoflex leads, implanted with the Assurity MRI™ or Endurity MRI™ pacemakers, in patients undergoing a clinically indicated 3T MRI (3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan.
The purpose of the study is to register the occurrence of cardiovascular disease among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients across five selected countries in Europe. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. Participants will continue their normal way of life and will not get any medication other than what has been prescribed to them by their doctor. Participants' participation will be one day/one visit at study doctor. The study will last for about 3 months in total.
This study is a retrospective comparative evaluation of six main periodontal pathogens and total bacterial load in chronic periodontitis patients affected or not by type 2 diabetes mellitus by polymerase chain reaction analysis.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with nivolumab by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) in cisplatin ineligible, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability data in eligible CLCZ696B2319 (PANORAMA-HF) patients receiving open-label sacubitril/valsartan.
To evaluate the effectiveness of melatonin and essential aminoacid supplementation on body composition, protein metabolism, strength and inflammation. The investigators performed a Randomized controlled parallel groups preliminary trial in 159 elderly sarcopenic people (42/117 men/women) assigned to 4 groups: isocaloric placebo (P, n=44), melatonin (M, 1 mg/daily, n=42,), essential aminoacids (eAA 4 g/daily, n=40) or eAA plus melatonin (eAAM, 4 g eAA and 1 mg melatonin/daily, n= 30). The period of intervention was 4 weeks. Data from body composition (DXA), strength (handgrip test) and biochemical parameters for the assessment of protein metabolism (albumin) and inflammation (PRC) were collected at baseline and after the 4-week intervention
A recent systematic review (Lee et al, 2016) reported that placement of a soft tissue graft concurrent with immediate implantation may contribute to the stability of gingival level and the augmentation of soft tissue contour. However, most included studies did not have a control group to directly demonstrate the benefit of an immediate implant combined with soft tissue graft (IMITG) compared to immediate implant alone.The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial with a parallel design is to evaluate the influence of the connective tissue graft on the buccal bone alterations after tooth extraction and immediate implant placement by means of cone beam computer tomography (CBCT).
