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.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of adjuvant atezolizumab in combination with paclitaxel, followed by atezolizumab, dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice), and cyclophosphamide, compared with paclitaxel followed by dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice) and cyclophosphamide alone in patients with Stage II-III TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer)
The study is aimed at assessing IGF-1R-Abs in patients with Graves' disease, with or without GO, compared with healthy subjects and patients with autoimmune thyroiditis in a cross-sectional investigation.
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 dropouts, 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.
Antiviral treatment of G1b Treatment-Naïve HCV-Infected Patients, with non- severe fibrosis, with or without insulin resistance (IR) and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) with EBR/GZR Fixed-Dose Combination for 8 Weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of investigational doses of once weekly dulaglutide when added to metformin in participants with type 2 diabetes with inadequate blood sugar control.
The study is randomized and it will be conducted in the field of routine clinical practice. A total of 100 consecutive patients planned to receive radiotherapy for prostate cancer will be enrolled. The patients will enter the study as controls (50 patients that won't receive any experimental IMP) or as treated-group (50 patients that will be also treated with the experimental IMPs, Ialuril® and Ialuril® Soft Gels) according to a predefined, centre-specific randomization.
Carotid revascularization procedures are performed for more than 87% of cases in patients with asymptomatic internal carotid stenosis (ICS), who are assumed to have a life expectancy of at least 5 years. Hence, the investigators aim to compare carotid artery stenting (CAS) with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in terms of long-term prognostic endpoints in patients with uneventful perioperative course. CEA and CAS, as a consequence of either surgical trauma or mechanical stimuli related to the compliance mismatch between the stented segment and the native artery, may perturb carotid baroreceptors function causing an impairment of cardiovascular autonomic control. Also, CEA and CAS result in different postoperative geometric features of carotid arteries that entail relevant modifications of rheological parameters, that may be associated with the risk of local complications. Finally, long-term and sustained cognitive benefits after CAS as compared to CEA are yet to be demonstrated.
This is a global Phase III, two-arm, open-label, multicenter, randomized study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous (SC) administration in combination with chemotherapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.
This was a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BGB-A317 in participants with relapsed or refractory mature T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms. There were three cohorts: - Cohort 1: Relapsed or refractory (R/R) extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL; nasal or non-nasal type) - Cohort 2: Other R/R mature T-cell neoplasms, limited to the following histologies: peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) - Cohort 3: R/R cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, limited to mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sèzary syndrome (SS) Study procedures included a Screening phase (up to 35 days); Treatment phase (until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first); Safety Follow-up phase (up to 90 days following last study treatment for all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)); and Survival follow-up phase (duration varying by participant).
The purpose of this Phase I study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of ticagrelor in pediatric patients from 0 to less than 24 months with sickle cell disease. Ticagrelor dose level adjustment will require a Protocol amendment and regulatory approval.
