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 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS) previously treated with single-arm, open-label levoketoconazole that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of levoketoconazole.
Prospective, multi-center, randomized, single blind study
The purpose of this study is to show that subcutaneous (SC) administration of daratumumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Dara SC) is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab (Dara IV) in terms of the overall response rate (ORR) and maximum trough concentration (Ctrough).
Reaching a peripheral venous access or making a blood sample in a scared infant or toddler can be challenging even for experienced nurses o pediatricians. Up to 60% of children report pain and distress during venipuncture and multiple attempts can result in more difficult physical and emotional conditions for subsequent insertions so that the procedure should be performed with the less number of punctures as possible. In about one third of children, more than one attempt is required to achieve peripheral intravenous cannulation. In the last years, specific tools have been developed to enhance the success in venipuncture or incannulation. Near-infrared (NIR) technology consists on light-emitting diodes placed underneath the hand, that makes vessels visible by projecting the processed image in a green light directly on to the puncture site. According to previous studies, NIR had shown a trend in reduction of time employed for a blood sample, in children younger of 6 yr. The aim of this trial is to investigate if the use of the VeinViewer® in a pediatric blood drawing center could decrease time spent to perform the procedure and improve the rate of first attempt success.
Efficacy and Tolerance Evaluation of a"revitalizing" face treatment consisting of a day and a night cream
This observational study aims at developing and validating a simple questionnaire to be routinely applied in the clinical practice, for the evaluation of the quality of life in children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis. The study consists of two phases: Phase 1: Development of the RAPP-children questionnaire starting from the validated RHINASTHMA-children questionnaire. Phase 2: Administration and validation of the RAPP-children questionnaire. 150 children with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis will be followed-up for one month. Both at baseline and after one month, the RAPP children and several other standardized questionnaires will be administered.
This is a randomized controlled monocentric study on 114 diabetic patients with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of the lipofilling with Lipogems® system in diabetic patients that are candidates for a minor amputation in the foot. In particular, it will be evaluated whether the lipofilling will be able to shorten the healing times and to reduce the number of major amputations, with consequent positive impact on the quality of life. Patients will be randomized to the treatment group with Lipogems® (local injection of autologous micro-fractured adipose tissue) or to the control group, thus, treatment according to standard clinical practice.
Prospective randomized study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 0.08% polihexanide (PHMB) eye drops in patients affected by acanthamoeba keratitis. 130 subjects were assigned to one of the following 2 treatment groups: Group 1: 0.08% polihexanide (PHMB) + placebo Group 2: 0.02% polihexanide (PHMB) + 0.1% propamidine
A dietary intervention trial will be performed on patients affected by Behçet's syndrome. Three different diets will be compared, analyzing their effects on the gut microbiota composition, on endogenous butyrate production and on the general symptoms in Behçet's patients.
The accuracy of real-time histology prediction (hyperplastic vs. adenomas) of colonic polyps using white light high-definition endoscopes is suboptimal. Blue laser imaging (BLI) is a new system for image-enhanced endoscopy using laser light, that is incorporated in the last generation Fuji high- definition videocolonscopes ELUXEO. Blue laser imaging (BLI) utilizes two monochromatic lasers instead of xenon light: a 410 nm laser visualizes vascular microarchitecture, similar to narrow band imaging, and a 450 nm laser provides white light by excitation.This system should enhance the microvascular pattern of superficial lesions, making the histological prediction easier. Aim of the study is to compare the accuracy of white light and BLI systems in real-time histology prediction of colonic polyps. For this purpose all colonscopies will be performed in a standard fashion using white light. When a polyps <10mm in size will be identified, patients will be randomized in two groups. In the Group 1 (White Light Grroup), all polyps <10mm will be evaluated with white light and prediction of histology (hyperplastic versus adenomatous) will be made by means of white light. In the Group 2 (BLI Group) , all polyps <10mm in size will be evaluated with BLI and scored as hyperplastic (type 1) or adenomatous (type 2) by applying the NICE (Narrow-band Imaging International Colorectal Endoscopic) classification, indicating color/vessel/surface pattern. The level of endoscopist's confidence in predicting histology (high or low confidence) for any polyp will be also recorded. Diagnostic performances of the endoscopists (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) will be calculated comparing endoscopist's prediction and pathology report, considered as reference standard in both study groups in order to evaluate the accuracy of real-time histology prediction by using BLI or white light.
