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.
Xerostomia is defined as the subjective complaint of dry mouth. Symptoms of dry mouth may range from mild oral discomfort to significant oral disease that can compromise patients' health, dietary intake and quality of life. Xerostomia is accompanied by numerous signs and symptoms mainly in the mucous membranes, lips, tongue, salivary glands and teeth. This study was designed to verify efficacy and safety of a novel dietary supplement (Aqualief),designed with the aim of stabilizing the saliva flux and pH at a neutral level and to improve the acid buffering capacity of saliva.
In the early stages of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), oocyte retrieval was performed via laparoscopy, a cumbersome and expensive process requiring general anesthesia. Today, transvaginal oocyte retrieval for ART is a routine procedure performed under ultrasound guidance. Double-lumen retrieval needles, which are capable of flushing ovarian follicles, were developed to overcome the possibility of oocyte retention within the ovarian follicles and retrieval collection system. Single lumen needles have been introduced and are routinely used by most groups due to their supposed ability to retrieve the same number of oocytes in a shorter operation time.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the experimental medication BMS-986165 compared to placebo and a currently available treatment in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tisagenlecleucel in pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia. For pediatric patients who have r/r B-NHL including Burkitt Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia, survival rates are dismal, only ~20-50% subjects are alive at 2 years with overall response rate (ORR) of 20-30% after conventional salvage chemotherapy.
This study is to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate (determined from the time of randomization in the study) of subjects who receive dendritic cell immunotherapy with MesoPher plus best supportive care (BSC) compared to BSC alone.
This is a feasibility and acceptability study of a 16-month single-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to test the initial effectiveness of a well-being and small lifestyle changes intervention aimed at promoting weight loss and stress reduction in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Primary goals of this study are to 1) evaluate study feasibility and patient acceptability, 2) develop a tailored protocol of a behavioral intervention for overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes that takes stress and well-being into consideration, 3) evaluate appropriateness of research procedures and measures, 4) examine effect size estimates of key outcomes to provide essential data to inform a larger efficacy trial, 5) determine whether clinically significant improvements occurred in any key outcomes.
Although open repair (OR) is currently reported as the gold standard of treatment, fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) is being increasingly applied for the treatment of proximal abdominal aortic aneurysms (p-AAA) such as hostile-necked, juxta-, para- and supra-renal aortic aneurysms.1 Nevertheless, advantages of FEVAR in terms of lowering postoperative complications, should be balanced with the need of both complex device configurations and operators with large endovascular expertise. The aim of this study is to report the experience of Data from patients treated will be prospectively collected. All post-operative results will be recorded. Major adverse event (MAE) are defined as the presence of one of the following: all-cause mortality, bowel ischemia, myocardial infarction, paraplegia, respiratory failure, stroke and renal insufficiency. Furthermore, the pre-operative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans (CTA) of all patients, stored in the hospital PACS, will be analyzed on the dedicated workstation with OsiriX software (Pixmeo sarl, Bernex, Switzerland) currently employed in our Unit for imaging assessment. Patients will undergo standard control with the execution of a Doppler ultrasound and creatinine serum levels at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. A CTA will also be performed at 12 months as per standard clinical practice. of p-AAA treatment.
The study evaluates the efficacy of 3 weeks of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), 5 sessions/weekly, in reducing cocaine consumption immediately after and within the 8 weeks following the treatment in addicted patients with cocaine use disorders (CUD) versus placebo.
The purpose of this study is the evaluation of long-term safety of osilodrostat in patients who have already received osilodrostat treatment in a previous Global Novartis-sponsored trial and who, based on investigators' judgement, will continue benefiting with its administration.
Immune therapy represents a promising option for the treatment of an increasing number of malignancies. New immunotherapeutic strategies are currently under development and will be further studied starting from refractory settings of heavily pre-treated mCRC patients. On this basis, a specific immunological characterization of CRC metastasis will be relevant to direct future clinical and pharmacological research. As surgery is a therapeutic option in the treatment of mCRC, a percentage of mCRC patients undergo to resection of metastasis before or after medical treatment. These tumour samples could be useful to define the immune signature of colorectal metastatic disease. On the basis of the above reported considerations, an exploratory, prospective, observational study for the immunophenotypical characterization of colorectal cancer metastasis from pre-treated vs chemo-naive patients has been planned.
