There are about 20844 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.
The objective of this observational clinical study is to evaluate the variations in ascorbic acid during the transplantation phases and how these variations influence the oxidative status and patient outcome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how many patients arrive at the transplant in a state of hypovitaminosis C? - how does hypovitaminosis C affect the patient's oxidative status? - how does hypovitaminosis C affect the length of stay in intensive care and post-transplant complications?
Primary objective To document the occurrence of fungal infections during the early stages of chemotherapy (from onset to TP2, i.e., week 16) in adult Ph-neg ALL patients Secondary objectives - To document the occurrence of IFI in relation to antifungal prophylaxis adopted - To document the occurrence of IFI in relation to the age of the patients - Document the occurrence of IFI in relation to the duration of neutropenia - Document the occurrence of IFI in relation to the type of steroid treatment adopted (dexamethasone yes vs no) - Document any delays in the initiation of consolidation chemotherapy in LLA patients with IFI - Document the outcome of patients with ALL with IFI Study design The study is prospective and observational, multicenter, real-life study involving 26 centers afferent to the SEIFEM group. All Ph-neg ALL patients aged 18 years or older treated with intensive chemotherapy starting from 01.06.22 for the duration of 18 months (+12 months follow-up) will be enrolled. The diagnosis of IFI will be defined according to EORTC 2019 criteria. Clinical information will be collected in paper CRFs, compiled anonymously. The incidence of IFI and pulmonary aspergillosis during induction chemotherapy will be related to the following variables: - Age - Sex - Type of AF prophylaxis performed - LLA risk classification according to ESMO 2016 criteria - Dose of dexamethasone administered - Duration of neutropenia - Hematologic and molecular response
Study RAD-GRIN-201 is a phase 1B/2A trial to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential efficacy of radiprodil in participants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) type II. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil. Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A and one year in Part B/long-term treatment period. The treatment period in Part B may be extended based on a favorable benefit/risk profile.
The Rhea-study is a multicenter prospective diagnostic proof-of-concept study There is an unquestionable need for improved diagnostic approaches for (incidental) SVT. The researchers plan to evaluate the MRDTI technique, that has been shown to be accurate in other settings of difficult-to-diagnosis venous thrombosis, for the notoriously challenging diagnosis of incidental SVT. This study targets an important unmet need and will provide the basis for precision medicine for patients with SVT in the near future, i.e. the possibility of assessment of the age of the thrombus in patients with incidental SVT, which is of utmost importance for determination of the indication for anticoagulant therapy. If this hypothesis is proven true, i.e. sensitivity of MRDTI for SVT is indeed >90%, the investigators will proceed with performing a randomized controlled outcome study in which patients with possible/probable chronic SVT with normal MRDTI test results and no other indications for anticoagulant therapy. These patients will be randomized between active therapeutically dosed anticoagulation versus no anticoagulation, to compare clinical outcome with regard to the occurrence of venous thromboembolism and/or Progressive symptomatic SVT as well as major bleeding.
The research aims to collect data in order to report the main problems related to the testicular cancer; To reach this aim, this study proposes to create a database of the testicular cancer condition. From this perspective, the aim of this project is the improving of scientific knowledge of the disease and develop appropriate and effective procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
The Study will be a prospective multicenter randomized trial, focused on the management of acute and chronic Osteomilytis in Diabetic Foot patients. The aim of this Study will be to compare the effectiveness and safety of S53P4 bioactive glass, medical device class III used as per its CE mark indication and Instruction For Use, in the surgical management of OM in the forefoot performed as per local surgical standard of care, in the same indications in a group of Diabetic Foot patients admitted in highly specialized dedicated centers. Participants will randomized into two groups: - Patients in Group A will be treated with surgical removal of the affected bone, debridement of infected soft tissues and systemic antibiotic therapy targeted on the sampling on the bone during the surgical procedure, with or without use of bone substitutes (with the only exception of Bioactive glasses) according to the judgement of the operator as per normal practice. - Patients in Group B will be debrided as well and the infected bone will be debrided without eliminating completely the structure of the bone, but instead preserving the cortex, while all the soft bone visibly infected will be removed and then replaced with Bioactive glass, as per IFU, (S53P4 - Bonalive® granules and putty, Bonalive Biomaterials Ltd. Finland) and then closed for primary intention whenever possible.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of an Antimicrobial Stewardship program in Regione Lombardia: "RF-net2018" is a prospective, experimental, multicenter, pre-post study, whose objectives are the evaluation of the efficiency of economic resources allocated to the antimicrobial stewardship program (AMS) in patients with infection and in patients with infections caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative (CR-GN) bacteria, identified in a network of 18 hospital facilities participating in our study. Moreover, this study aims to compare hospital mortality among patients admitted to the facilities participating in the study before and during the implementation of the AMS project. The study will include two main phases of analysis: the pre-intervention-phase and the intervention phase, both of 6 months duration. The pre-intervention phase will serve as a control for the intervention phase. The intervention phase is represented by antimicrobial stewardship activities which have been implemented in the network of 18 hospital facilities and that include a group of activities listed above (Hospital commitment, Tracking and reporting, Action and Education). Data source and analysis for the cost-effectiveness analysis, using month-department as statistical unit, are regional data: Discharge record ICD-9 codes (identification of target population 1, 2, 3, average days of hospitalization and mortality), R file (for antibiotic drug consumption month-ward) and Microbio (identification of target population 2, CR-GN and MRSA bacteremia and Cases of C. difficile infection). For what concerns healthcare costs data, each Management control office of the 18 facilities has to provide: AVERAGE HOSPITALISATION DAYS, NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZED AND TRANSFERRED PATIENTS and HEALTHCARE COSTS (healthcare personnel, diagnostic services, surgical interventions and consumption of operating rooms).
TrEnd trial is aimed to collect data from consecutive patients undergoing segmental sigmoid colon/rectal resection for deep endometriosis. The main purpose of this project is to gather a large series of cases treated using standardized surgical procedures, allowing a precise evaluation of complications and long-term outcomes.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent degenerative musculoskeletal disease and a major cause of chronic disability worldwide. Its multifactorial origin contributes to determine the heterogeneous phenotypes and one unmet need is the lack of biomarkers to predict the individual response. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection is a minimally invasive autologous blood-derived approach for which we plan to define specific knee profiles predictive of response. We will take advantage of a unique multidisciplinary approach aimed at analysing clinics, imaging, and biomarkers of associated with clinical response. We will focus on inflammatory (Wnt system, IL1 pathway, PTX3) and antioxidant (primarily, DPP3/Keap1/Nrf2) pathways. We foresee that our results will allow a better allocation of immunomodulatory and regenerative therapies for a personalized approach in knee OA thus maximising the effectiveness of the healthcare allocation.
Despite extensive research on periodontitis, little attention has been given to the symptoms and perception of peri-implant diseases and their impact on oral health-related quality of life. The study aims to assess patient perception of these diseases and their impact on quality of life through a cross-sectional observational study. Patients will be recruited from the Unit of Periodontics at "Le Scotte" University Hospital and will undergo diagnosis followed by questionnaire assessments. No follow-up visits are planned, and validated questionnaires will be administered to evaluate perception and impact on quality of life. Study procedures will include recording biometric peri-implant parameters and administering questionnaires such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).
