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 is a study comparing the defibrotide prophylaxis arm vs standard of care arm for the prevention of aGvHD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous givosiran (ALN-AS1), compared to placebo, on the rate of porphyria attacks in patients with Acute Hepatic Porphyrias (AHP).
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is characterized by pain over the greater trochanter, which can refer down the lateral aspect of the hip. Historically, conservative treatments such as rest/activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, physiotherapy and local corticosteroid injection, are employed as first-line management, with some refractory cases requiring surgical intervention. Acknowledging the unpredictable response and frequent recurrences associated with traditional non operative treatment, the risks and prolonged rehabilitation associated with surgery, and the favorable results from prior studies involving radial pressure waves as a treatment for GTPS, the aim of this study is to investigate the dose-related effect of focalized shockwave treatment at different total energy influx in patients with chronic GTPS.
The aim of this study was to evaluate if the positive effects recorded on glycemic control with CSII were maintained on the long term compared to multi-daily injections (MDI). The secondary objective was to evaluate if there is a reduction of type and number of cardiovascular events (CV) in CSII group compared to MDI group after 8 years of observation. This retrospective, observational trial evaluated 104 diabetic patients with prior treatment with MDI initiating CSII therapy compared to 109 diabetic patients continuing MDI.
To evaluate the use of damage control surgery by performing bowel resection and laparostomy in the treatment of Hinchey III or IV diverticulitis.
The first 1,000 days of life, from the conception to 24 months, are crucial to achieve long-term health outcomes and represent a strategic period to intervene under prevention and public health perspective. Nutritional exposures during this critical period of life can influence the future disease susceptibility. Maternal diet during pregnancy has been linked to offspring overweight/obesity risk and it could represent a potential target for overweight/obesity prevention. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is considered one of the healthiest dietary models, which impacts beneficially the gut microbiome (GM), providing high amounts of fiber, antioxidants polyphenols and vitamins, and a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids (ω6:ω3). Notably, the MD beneficial effects are due to the synergistic and interactive combinations of nutrients, and the modulation of gene expression through epigenetic changes. Unofrtunately, the MD mechanisms during pregnancy in the prevention of childhood overweight/obesity are not yet fully known.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of ipatasertib + paclitaxel versus placebo + paclitaxel in participants with histologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and in participants with locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+)/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast adenocarcinoma who are not suitable for endocrine therapy.
The study is designed to determine if ZS 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalemia will prove tolerable and efficacious. Patients will receive ZS or Placebo on top of standard of care treatment with insulin and glucose.
The persistence of blood may significantly affect final sealing with the persistence of microleakage (Zmener et al. 2008, Roggendorf et al. 2007). In cases of copious bleeding from root canals, calcium hydroxide, anesthetic solution with 1:50,000 epinephrine or ferric sulfate placed on a sterile paper cone, are recognized as effective hemostatic agents (Magnusson 1971, Kouri et al. 1969, Dannenberg 1974). The purpose of this study was to test the reduction of root canal bleeding in terms of significant percentage change for millimeters of blood in the canal at 2 different time points (baseline and after treatment with HybenX )
Patients with Parkinson's disease show a gait disturbance which is considered as one of the most disabling aspect of the disease that strongly impacts on patients' autonomy and quality of life. The mechanism underlying gait impairment is multi-factorial, reflects the global motor impairment of patients with PD and is mainly related to a neurotransmitter deficiency inducing bradykinesia, rigidity, abnormal trunk control and postural instability. For this reason, and considering the impact of social and economic costs, one of the main foci of intervention in patients with PD should be treating gait abnormalities. This need is further reinforced by the knowledge that gait outcomes are correlated with longevity, cognitive decline and adverse events. Besides the shorten-step gait clinical description of the gait disorder in PD, in the last years, studies using modern 3D motion analysis systems have further detailed the gait pattern in PD disclosing abnormalities in cadence, stance duration, swing duration, double support duration, leg length, step length, velocity, hip, knee and ankle ROMs. Such abnormal gait parameters seem to correlate with the clinical outcomes of UPDRS score, H-Y stage and milliequivalents of levodopa taken. Importantly, gait parameters can either normalize or improve after several rehabilitative treatment strategies including physiotherapy, assistive equipment, sensory cueing, treadmill training, physical activity, home base exercises. However, none of the previous studies specifically investigated which biomechanical factor can be modified after rehabilitation and which clinical characteristic can predict the rehabilitation-induced gait improvement. This would be extremely important to typifying, grouping and selecting patients, optimizing the rehabilitative strategies and cost management. The aims of the present study were to evaluate in a sample of patients with PD: i) which gait parameters can be modified after a short-term rehabilitation program; ii) which, if any, clinical variable can predict the improvement of the gait function after rehabilitation. At this aim we quantitatively evaluated the gait performance of PD patients by means of a 3-D motion analysis system.
