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.
BACKGROUND: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disorder. The Ca/P ratio is an accurate tool to differentiate patients with PHPT (>3.5 if Ca and P are expressed in mg/dl) from healthy subjects. The reliability of this index is based on the fact that serum Ca and P are inversely related together. However, other disorders of the Ca-P metabolism, such as hypophosphoremia (HypoP) not related to PHPT, might also impair the Ca/P ratio. OBJECTIVE: To validate the accuracy of Ca/P ratio in the diagnosis of Ca-P metabolism disorders, including also patients with documented HypoP not related to PHPT. METHODS: A single-center, retrospective, case-control study will be carried out. Biochemical measurements will include parathormone (PTH), vitamin D, serum Ca and P, serum albumin and creatinine.
Research shows that low-dose Aspirin prevents diseases of heart and blood vessels as well as cancer of the colon and rectum and it is also associated with risk of bleeding. In this study, they want to learn how patients regard the benefits and risks of low-dose Aspirin for the prevention of these diseases. The researchers also want to learn how patients balance these risks and benefits.
A 52-week, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of seladelpar in subjects with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response to or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) The participants might enter the ongoing open-label safety study (NCT03301506) following this double-blind study.
The study was conducted to gain knowledge about a new dose of a diagnostic drug that is used for contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the human central nervous system (CNS). MRI can visualize the anatomy of the body and is used to detect medical conditions. Diagnostic drugs like gadobutrol and gadoterate contain an element called gadolinium that is applied to improve the analysability of MRI-images. The purpose of this study was to examine if contrast-enhanced MRI using a reduced dose of the gadolinium-based contrast agent gadobutrol delivers images of similar quality to those obtained when a full dose of the gadolinium-based contrast agent gadoterate was used.
To evaluate two different supra-aortic trunks debranching techniques during open repair of aortic arch aneurysms by means of Frozen Elephant Trunk procedure with two configurations of the Jotec E-Vita hybrid graft.
This is a study to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of bimekizumab in adult subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (PSO).
The aim of the study is to explore the effect of a curcumin formulation in combination to intravitreal dexamethasone therapy in patients with diabetic macular edema on morphological retinal characteristics and retreatment times.
The aim of this study is to determine vitreous levels of nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prostaglandinE2 (PGE2) in eyes scheduled for vitrectomy. All patients received the study drugs for 3 days before surgery. 0.5 to 1.0 mL of undiluted vitreous was removed using the vitreous cutter positioned in the midvitreous cavity. Samples were immediately frozen and stored at −80°C until analysis. Sample analyses were performed using an high-performance liquid chromatography system. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.8 ng/mL. PGE2 levels were analyzed using the Prostaglandin E2 Monoclonal EIA Kit (Cayman Chemical Company) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of INCMGA00012 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic squamous carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) who have progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.
This is a pilot, single arm prospective trial assessing feasibility, safety and effects on patient nutritional status of a 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) in patients with different cancer types and concomitant anticancer treatment.
