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.
TrRaMM-TMI is a phase I trial to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an original sequential TMI/TrRaMM (Total Marrow Irradiation/Treosulfan-Rapamycin-Mycophenolate Mofetil) schedule in patients with hematological malignancies in advanced stage of disease undergoing an allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (SCT). The aim is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of TMI when combined with conditioning chemotherapy to transplant according to TrRaMM schedule.
Background. Viral bronchiolitis is a common cause of hospitalization for acute respiratory insufficiency in young infants. Despite several RCT have tested the effectiveness of various agents, currently there is no proven specific therapy for bronchiolitis, treatment remaining mostly supportive. Based on available studies, exogenous surfactant replacement in bronchiolitis is likely to have a promising safety and efficacy profile. Primary objective. To evaluate whether Curosurf treatment is effective compared to placebo (air) in reducing the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in the first 14 days of hospitalization, in infants less than 12 months suffering from acute hypoxemic bronchiolitis. Methods. a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. 19 Italian PICUs will enroll children less than12 months with hypoxemic acute bronchiolitis, with need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Once the patient has been recruited, randomization should occur as quickly as possible. The first dose of Curosurf or placebo should be administered within 60 minutes of randomization. The treatment may be repeated once, not before 12 hours and not later than 24 hours after the initial dose. The assignment of the type of treatment will be communicated by the Coordinator center to the researcher attending the patient's bed. The same medical researcher will then take care of administering the assigned treatment, masking the procedure with appropriate precautions, for example with screens or closing the patient's room whenever possible. The preparation and administration of treatment, medication or placebo, can be done by a nurse who must not disclose the assigned treatment and will not be involved in the patient's care until the conclusion of the study. Patient evaluation will be carried out by other physicians and/or nurses who will not be aware of the assigned treatment. Regardless the received treatment, all patients will be assisted according to standard practice of the Unit. For the purposes of the study, several parameters will be collected 15 minutes before, and 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after administration of the drug: oxygenation indexes such as OI, OSI, PaO2 and SatO2; Invasive ventilation parameters, i.e. current volume, positive end expiratory pressure, peak pressure, respiratory rate, FiO2 and mean airway pressure; and ventilation indexes such as PaCO2 and End Tidal CO2. If it is necessary to repeat the treatment, the above parameters will be re-collected with the same timepoints. During the study all the AE/ADR will be recorded.
The primary objective is to determine if BIIB093 reduces brain contusion expansion by Hour 96 when compared to placebo. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effects of BIIB093 on acute neurologic status, functional outcomes, and treatment requirements, to further differentiate the mechanism of action of BIIB093 on contusion expansion by examining differential effects on hematoma and edema expansion, and to determine if BIIB093 improves survival at Day 90 when compared to placebo.
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis in which lesions affect retroperitoneal tissue and pelvic organs wall. It is often characterized by pain (dysmenorrhea, dysuria, dyspnea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain) and infertility, drastically impacting on women' quality of life. It is typically multifocal, involving uterosacral ligaments, the upper third of posterior vaginal wall, bowel, bladder, and ureters. Indocyanine green (ICG) is an anionic tricarbocyanine molecule able to bind to plasma proteins into the vascular system and to become fluorescent if excited by near-infrared light (NIR). NIR-ICG imaging is used in gynecology for the intraoperative diagnosis of occult peritoneal and deep endometriosis at white light and to assess tissue perfusion and guide surgical strategy.
This study provides an opportunity for subjects in the REFALS (3119002; NCT03505021) study to continue treatment with oral levosimendan. The study will also provide more information about long-term safety and effectiveness of oral levosimendan in patients with ALS. This is an open-label study, so that all eligible subjects that complete the double-blind REFALS study (48-weeks of treatment) will have the opportunity to receive oral levosimendan treatment. The primary objective, in addition to continuing treatment for subjects enrolled in the REFALS study, is to evaluate long-term safety of oral levosimendan in ALS patients. Another important objective is to explore long-term effectiveness of oral levosimendan in the treatment of patients with ALS. This study is open only to patients taking part in the REFALS study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986165 compared with placebo with regard to measures of kidney function in participants with lupus nephritis (LN).
Oral selexipag is commercially available in several countries for the treatment of a particular group of pulmonary hypertension (PH) called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether selexipag could be helpful to treat patients with another form of PH called sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension (SAPH).
The purpose of the current study is to assess the efficacy and safety/tolerability of three dose regimens of RVT-1401 in the treatment of active, moderate to severe GO participants. In addition, the study is designed to characterize the effect of RVT-1401 exposure on reduction in anti-TSHR IgG
The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT) in a clinical care setting when used by participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The purpose of this study is to enable patients with solid tumors, who received anetumab ravtansine in a Bayer-sponsored clinical trial, to continue treatment after their respective study has been closed. The patients will be observed to collect information on how safe and efficient the drug is.
