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.
Supplements and functional foods are now readily available and usable by the general population. Many supplemnets are commonly used in poly-treated patients where interactions or adverse events may develop, therefore we evaluate in the rela life the use of nutraceuticals, their clinical effects and the development of adverse drug reactions
The study aims to evaluate the clinical, laboratory and instrumental differences that exist between beta-thalassemia patients with atrial fibrillation and those not affected by arrhythmia.
Prospective, international, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicentre, parallel group study. Patients will be randomised in a 2:1 allocation ratio to receive either IFB-088 + riluzole 100 mg or placebo + riluzole 100 mg. This clinical trial is an exploratory study, designed to show a signal of efficacy of IFB-088 through ALSFRS-R, MITOS and King's College. Respiratory function will be followed through SVC. Biomarkers and quality of life will also be evaluated throughout the study. Patients will be treated over a 6-month period. After a screening/consent visit, patients will undergo clinic visits at randomisation (V0), at 2 weeks (V1), and at months 1 (V2), 3 (V3) and 6 (V4). One week after V0, the patient will undergo urine analysis (dipstick)and blood sampling for measurement of creatinine , as well as blood sampling for measurement of creatinine and calculation of eGFR at months 2, 4 and 5. At the V2 visit, in addition to other assessments, patients will undergo blood sampling for PK measurements and urine sampling for crystalluria examination. Blood and urine chemistry, as well as physical examination and vital signs assessment to assess safety will be performed at each visit for safety purpose and crystalluria examination will be repeated at the follow-up visit, performed one month ± one week after V4.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition that may cause a rash and itching due to inflammation of the skin. Therapies spread over the skin may not be enough to control the AD in trial participants who require systemic anti-inflammatory treatment. This study evaluates the dosing flexibility of upadacitinib in adult participants with moderate to severe AD. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for the treatment of moderate to severe/active immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's Disease (CD), and AD. The study is comprised of a 35-day Screening Period, a 12-week double-blind period and a 12-week single-blind period. During the double-blind period, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms and will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive upadacitinib. At 12 weeks during the single blind period, participants will be blinded to the upadacitinib dose based on their EASI response and reassigned to in 1 of 4 arms. After the last study visit, there is a 30-day follow-up visit. Approximately 454 adult participants ages 18 to 64 with moderate to severe AD who are candidates for systemic therapy will be enrolled at up to 160 sites worldwide. The study is comprised of a 12-week double-blind period, followed by a 12-week single-blind period. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily for up to 24 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABX464 given at 25 or 50 mg QD in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies [corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)] and/or advanced therapies [biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors].

Paraprosthetic cardiac valve leaks are a progressive complication after after surgical or percutaneous heart valve replacement. These leaks can lead to heart failure and/or life-threatening hemolysis. Percutaneous closure of para-prosthetic leaks has been developed as an alternative to surgery in high-risk patients. These procedures remain technically challenging with a significant risk of failure and complications, but this risk is improved since the development of dedicated prostheses and the increased experience of the operators. The data in the literature concerning percutaneous leak closure remain limited and disparate and mostly retrospective.The impact of the procedures on the quality of life of patients is not known. Beyond the technical aspects and the follow-up of major cardiovascular events, investigators also wonder what is the impact of these procedures on the quality of life of patients. Investigators hypothesize that even a partial reduction in paraprosthetic leakage may be associated with an improvement in quality of life through reduction of transfusion needs and/or reduction of dyspnea. A prospective study is warranted to assess the technical and clinical and clinical results of these procedures, together with the evaluation of the the possible benefit on the quality of life of the patients.
This is an open-label, multicenter extension trial to evaluate the long-term safety of KVD900 in patients who are 12 years or older with HAE type I or II.
The study will investigate the prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) features and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients among those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving cangrelor infusion.
Preoperative anemia is detrimental in surgical patients, and its treatment with transfusions can further worsen outcomes, including increased hospital stay and mortality. Transfusions are also highly costly. In 2010, the World Health Organization endorsed the adoption of Patient Blood Management (PBM) programs, i.e., patient-centered multidisciplinary activities, including recognition and treatment of preoperative anemia. While the latter has been proved effective in reducing transfusions in setting like elective orthopedic surgery, widespread adoption is still lacking. Moreover, little is known about surgical oncology, a particular setting posing unique challenging. This change-promoting project attempts to fill this knowledge gap by establishing a multidisciplinary team aimed at optimal management of preoperative anemia in hepatobiliary/pancreas/gastrointestinal/renal surgical oncology. The primary endpoint is the reduction of transfusions, along with safer patient outcomes as compared to the historical series.
