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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different doses of ianalumab versus placebo in addition to first-line corticosteroids in maintaining platelet count ≥30 G/L in adult participants with primary ITP.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different doses of ianalumab added to eltrombopag to prolong Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) in adults with primary ITP who failed previous first-line treatment with steroids.
Despite the availability of evidence-based guidelines for disease management in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), the uptake of these guidelines in clinical practice is sub-optimal and adherence rates are disappointing. Within the HeartMan project, a personal e-health system was developed to help CHF patients manage their disease, with the ultimate goal to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The system uses wrist-band sensors to monitor patients' physical activity and physiological parameters. These data are connected to a decision support system, providing medical advice to patients concerning physical exercise, nutrition, medication intake, clinical measurements, environment management, and mental support. The decision support system is based on predictive models, clinical care guidelines and expert knowledge. The advice will be personalized according to each individual patient's medical and psychological profile, and will be presented to the patient through the user interface of a mobile application on a smartphone. A proof of concept trial with a 1:2 (control:intervention) randomization protocol was designed. The sample size calculation was based on primary outcome data from the previous CHIRON project, showing that 90 patients are needed to show at least -5.8 (± 6 to 8 s.d.) beats/min difference in average daily awake heart rate difference - as a fundamental parameter correlating with patient-reported HRQoL - with 90% power between the two groups. Data collection will include an estimation of exercise capacity based on a six-minute walking test, and questionnaire assessments using standardized instruments. The trial will be initiated in two countries. In order to account for possible drop-outs, 60 patients will be enrolled in Italy and 60 in Belgium (20 control and 40 intervention patients in each country). Target patients are stable ambulatory CHF patients (NYHA class 2-3; reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%). Eligible patients will be recruited by their treating physician from collaborating medical centers in both countries; they will be enrolled in the trial after giving informed consent for participation. After baseline assessment, patients will be randomized into either the intervention (duration of 6 months) or control (usual care) condition. Data collection will be repeated at the end of the trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ELVN-002 in people with cancers that have an abnormal HER2 gene. The main question the trial aims to answer is if ELVN-002 is safe and tolerable at different doses. A second main question is to evaluate the concentration of ELVN-002 in the blood at different doses and to see how this correlates with safety and see how the concentration of drug changes over time. The third main question is to see if ELVN-002 works to shrink cancers that have HER2 genetic abnormalities, particularly non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary goal of this non-profit single-centre randomized pilot interventional study is to evaluate the acceptability of a daily telemonitoring of five vital parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and body temperature) using a medical device in advanced cancer patients with relevant cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities assisted at home. In addition to the standard home care, participants in the intervention group will keep the medical device at home. They will register five vital parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and body temperature) once a day for eight weeks. Participants belonging to the control group will receive standard home care. The secondary goals of this study include the following: - Analyzing the effect of telemonitoring on patients' quality of life and psychological status. - Observing the possible effects of telemonitoring on the caregiver care burden. - Assessing the possible effects of telemonitoring on the caregiver perceived satisfaction with the home care received. - Comparing the number of physician and nurse home visits and phone calls between the patients using the device and patients in standard home care. - Comparing the number of emergency room visits, admissions, and hospitalization days between the patients using the device and patients in standard home care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orally administered M5049 in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, specifically dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) participants for 24 weeks.
An observational study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the hybrid approach DES/DCB in the treatment of long diffuse de novo coronary artery disease
Italian multicenter study, will enroll ~566 pts with oligometastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer who are candidates to receive treatment with apalutamide. After 6 months from the start of treatment, patients will be randomized to receive local treatment based on the investigator's choice ( either one between primary radiotherapy or cytoreductive prostatectomy), in addition to apalutamide, or to continue just with medical therapy.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the long-term use of TPIP in participants with PAH from studies INS1009-201 (NCT04791514), INS1009-202 (NCT05147805) and other lead-in studies of TPIP in participants with PAH.
To evaluate and compare the efficacy, activity and tolerability of a vaginal ova formulation containing tindalised cultures (Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus) (LOGUSGYN/CANDIDEP OVULES) and in vaginal lavage (LOGUSGYN/CANDIDEP LAVENDER) in patients with nonspecific vulvovaginitis compared to sterile saline-based vaginal irrigation (AELAV PURLING). The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the percentage of patients with therapeutic success, defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of vaginitis (total symptom score <4) at the end of treatment. For the overall assessment of clinical outcomes (resolution, improvement or failure): outcomes at the end of treatment will be considered. The treatment outcome will be measured after 5 days (V2) and after 10 days of treatment (V3) for groups A, B and C Also for group D (later, with a second randomisation, divided into groups E and F) the primary endpoint will be the same as for groups A, B, C at the visit after 30 days of treatment (V4) The treatment outcome will be measured after 5 days (V2) (after 10 days (V3) of treatment the SPT result will be re-evaluated and will be included in the secondary endpoints). The evolution of signs and symptoms of vaginitis is defined as the percentage of patients with resolution (overall score 4), improvement (decrease in overall score from baseline of 50%) or failure (decrease in overall score <50%). Ninety-one adult female subjects (aged 18-65 years) with a diagnosis of vulvovaginitis and the presence of at least two subjective symptoms and two objective signs (at least moderate) of vaginal inflammation were recruited. The study was planned with a randomised, controlled, parallel-group sequential design to test a vaginal ova formulation containing tindalised cultures (Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus) (LOGUSGYN/CANDIDEP OVULES) and vaginal douches (LOGUSGYN/CANDIDEP LAVENDER) in patients with non-specific vulvovaginitis to control treatment (AELAV PURLING- vaginal irrigation with sterile saline). The sequential design involves a first phase with randomisation into 4 groups (A, B, C, D) followed by a second randomisation of group D (patients with vulvovaginitis and positive for HPV at PAP test) into two subgroups (E and F). The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the resolution of vulvovaginitis signs and symptoms (total SPT symptom score at the end of the first Phase I treatment period (after 5 days of treatment) for groups A, B, C and D). For the overall assessment of clinical outcomes (resolution, improvement or failure): results at the end of treatment after 10 days (V3) will be considered as secondary endpoints. Phase II will always have the resolution of vulvovaginitis signs and symptoms (total SPT symptom score f4 at the end of treatment at 30 days (V4)) as the primary endpoint, compared to Phase I results in group D. The protocol involves 4 visits per patient over 10 days for the groups. For groups E and F only the visit at V4 after 30 days of treatment. At visit 1 (0 days, baseline visit), patients will have to sign a written informed consent before performing any procedure. Subjects will be screened for study eligibility, verifying that all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria are met. At V1, the investigator will collect demographic and anamnestic data and perform a vaginal swab; in case of specific growth of pathogenic organisms, patients will be treated after the 5-day follow-up visit with antibiotics or antimycotics according to the result of the antibiogram. Delivery of the information note to the GP and the study and treatment information sheet to the patient. The investigator will then assess subjective symptomatology (burning, pain, itching, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia and dysuria) Objective symptomatology (leucorrhoea, vulvar erythema, vulvar oedema and presence of abrasion/erosion) Vaginal PH PAP test. Patients will report their degree of satisfaction with the treatment using a 5-point semiquantitative scale. Patients will be interviewed to monitor adherence to the study protocol and symptom trends during the 10-day study period (groups A, B, C and D) and at 30 days (groups E, F) The safety and tolerability of the treatments will be assessed by reporting any local and anticipated adverse events
