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 open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This study is open to adults with a lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are 40 years or older. If they already take nintedanib or pirfenidone for their IPF, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with IPF. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of implant survival of the PrimeTaper EV implant in single tooth restorations 1 year after permanent restoration.
This clinical program aims to evaluate the activity and efficacy of cetuximab continuation of treatment for three lines of therapy with rotation of chemotherapy (FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, irinotecan) in mCRC patients, whose tumors remain RAS/BRAF WT. The study will also evaluate the activity and efficacy of cetuximab re-introduction in combination with irinotecan as third line therapy in the concept of re-challenge for those patients that will be treated in second line with chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenic drugs (FOLFOX plus bevacizumab), having a RAS or BRAF mutant disease at the time of progression after FOLFIRI plus cetuximab first line treatment. A novel characteristic of this program is that the therapeutic algorithm will be defined at each treatment decision (first line, second line and third line) in a prospective fashion in each patient by liquid biopsy assessment of RAS/BRAF status.
Both periodontitis and plaque psoriasis are non communicable chronic inflammatory diseases. They share genetic polymorphysms (IL-1, IL-6 e TNFalfa) and risk factors (smoking, diabetes, obesity), as well as a great resemblance in terms of pathophysiological pathways. In fact, they are both characterized by an hyperactivation of the innate immune response which induces an excessive production of cytokines such as IL-17/TNFalfa. While non-surgical periodontal therapy consists in the mechanical removal of supra and subgingival calculus, psoriasis treatment involves the administration of either systemic or biologic drugs. Evidence is scarce regarding the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal therapy in ameliorating the clinical outcomes of plaque psoriasis. The biological plausibility relies on the important reduction of systemic inflammation caused by periodontal treatment, which could ameliorate psoriasis phenotype.
The primary objective of this study is to verify the clinical benefit of monthly doses of aducanumab in slowing cognitive and functional impairment as measured by changes in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score as compared with placebo in participants with early Alzheimer's disease.
This study is designed to define a dosing regimen and assess the pharmacokinetics(PK) and safety of the granule formulation; the study will also include descriptive analyses of exploratory efficacy endpoints. The study will inform the benefit risk profile of the granule formulation in children aged ≥ 1 to < 7 years with NF1 related symptomatic, inoperable PN.
People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), especially those with diarrhea (IBS-D), often describe worsening symptoms after eating certain foods. A structured dietary approach may represent a reliable strategy to improve their symptoms. In this framework, the diet low in oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and fermentable polyols (FODMAPs - LFD) has been demonstrated to mitigate symptoms and reduce inflammatory status, increase vitamin D content, and affect the lipidomic profile. Unfortunately, adherence to LFD can be somewhat problematic, needing continuous nutritional support. Other dietary approaches with putative beneficial effects have been proposed to overcome these limitations. Among them, Tritordeum-based foods (TBD, bread, bakery products, and pasta) in substitution of other cereals seem to achieve promising results. TBD may represent a valid alternative, with high palatability, especially among Italian patients for whom pasta is considered one of the main assets of dietetic culture and easier to manage in their daily habits. Given these premises, this study aims to evaluate, in a randomized single-blinded controlled trial, the effects of 12-weeks of TBD compared with LFD and dietary advice of the same duration in improving the symptom profile well as the intestinal permeability and reducing putative dysbiosis of IBS-D patients. Along with the clinical study, an evaluation of gluten and proteomic composition will be performed to examine more in detail the intrinsic characteristics of Tritordeum.
Study RNLC3132 is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of rifaximin SSD-40mg IR for the delay of the first episode of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) decompensation in liver cirrhosis, defined by the presence of medically controlled ascites.
This is a randomized, double-blind and vehicle-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical TMB-001 0.05% ointment for the treatment of CI in subjects with either the RXLI or ARCI subtypes. In addition, a subset of preselected centers will recruit subjects in parallel with either the RXLI or ARCI subtypes for enrollment into an Optional Maximal Use arm for evaluation of the systemic exposure and safety of topical TMB-001 0.05% ointment for the treatment of CI. The Phase III Study is designed in three periods: • Period 1 - Induction (3 weeks): At the beginning of the 3-week Induction Period, eligible subjects will be randomized (2:1 ratio) to either TMB-001 0.05% once-a-day (QD) or Vehicle QD treatment, with use of mandatory standardized bland emollient (Cetaphil™) provided by the Sponsor. • Period 2 - Treatment (9 weeks): The dosing frequency in the 9-week treatment period will be increased in each treatment group to TMB-001 0.05% BID or Vehicle BID. Mandatory bland emollient will be discontinued. • Period 3 - Maintenance (12 weeks): At Week 12, eligible subjects in the TMB-001 treatment group will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to an open-label treatment with TMB-001 0.05% BID or TMB-001 0.05% QD. To be eligible, subjects must have achieved a ≥1-point reduction in IGA score from Baseline. Subjects with less than a 1-point reduction in IGA score from Baseline will be discontinued from the study. Vehicle-treated subjects who achieved <1-point reduction in IGA score from Baseline are eligible to cross over to the TMB-001 0.05% BID treatment group. Subjects with a ≥1-point reduction in IGA score from Baseline will be discontinued from the study. Subjects at the end of the study or subjects discontinued from the study at any time will be followed-up for additional 2 weeks for AEs.
