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.
Retrospective observational study to investigate acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology and outcomes in patients hospitalized in University Hospital San Martino, Genova, Italy.
This is a phase III, multi-center international, single blind randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of pulsed intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone versus standard therapy on top of maximal support in patients with Acute myocarditis (AM).
The study aims to collect the clinical activity and management data of the Orthogeriatrics and Orthopedics Units participating in the study on a continuous and long-term basis. By collecting clinical data and comparing the performance of the various centers, the study aims to guide the participating centers towards the principles of good clinical practice in orthogeriatrics.
Evaluate the correlation between altered glycometabolic status and joint inflammation in diabetic patients with osteoarthritis undergoing knee replacement surgery
Obtain safety and effectiveness data to support indication expansion for the Medtronic TAVR System to include patients with moderate, AS.
According to World Health Organization, worldwide one in 160 children has an ASD. About around 25% to 30% of children are unable to use verbal language to communicate (non-verbal ASD) or are minimally verbal, i.e., use fewer than 10 words (mv-ASD). The ability to communicate is a crucial life skill, and difficulties with communication can have a range of negative consequences such as poorer quality of life and behavioural difficulties. Communication interventions generally aim to improve children's ability to communicate either through speech or by supplementing speech with other means (e.g., sign language, pictures, or AAC - Advanced Augmented Communication tools). Individuals with non- verbal ASD or mv-ASD often communicate with people through vocalizations that in some cases have a self-consistent phonetic association to concepts (e.g., "ba" to mean "bathroom") or are onomatopoeic expressions (e.g., "woof" to refer to a dog). In most cases vocalizations sound arbitrary; even if they vary in tone, pitch, and duration depending it is extremely difficult to interpret the intended message or the individual's emotional or physical state they would convey, creating a barrier between the persons with ASD and the rest of the world that originate stress and frustration. Only caregivers who have long term acquaintance with the subjects are able to decode such wordless sounds and assign them to unique meanings. This project aims at defining algorithms, methods, and technologies to identify the communicative intent of vocal expressions generated by children with mv-ASD, and to create tools that help people who are not familiar with the subjects to understand these individuals during spontaneous conversations.
The purpose of the study is to assess PK, Pharmacodynamics (PD), Efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in patients with TA-TMA after HSCT.
Anticoagulation is an essential component of all extracorporeal therapies. Currently locoregional citrate anticoagulation is the recommended technique for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, low clearance of citrate restricts its use to blood flow up to 150 mL/min, preventing its use in ECMO. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is commonly provided to ECMO patients with AKI. In presence of systemic heparinization for ECMO, additional anticoagulation for the CRRT circuit (i.e. RCA) is usually not employed. Nevertheless, thrombosis occurs more frequently in the CRRT circuit than the oxygenator because of the slower blood flow. The aim of this prospective, cross-over study is to assess, in patients undergoing CRRT during veno-venous ECMO (vv-ECMO), the efficacy and safety of adding regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) for CRRT circuit anticoagulation.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been rising rapidly with an increased burden to the healthcare system. As such T2D prevention is highly recommendable, and, theoretically, it can definitely be successful. However, though feasible T2D prevention is difficult to implement due to the heterogeneity of the disease that make response to population intervention (and treatment) only partially successful. Precision medicine aims to prevent chronic diseases by tailoring interventions or recommendations to a combination of a genetic background, metabolic profile, and lifestyle. Classification of individuals at risk into clusters that differ in their susceptibility to develop T2D may foster the identification of preventive interventions. Recent advances in omics technologies have offered opportunities as well as challenges in the use of precision medicine to prevent T2D. Moreover, new mobile health (mHealth) technologies have enhanced how diabetes is managed. However, little is still known about the effectiveness of mHealth technology as intervention tools for reducing diabetes risk.
The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) compared with placebo on pulmonary vascular resistance.
