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 Phase 1 part of the study is conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of eribulin mesilate in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory solid tumors (excluding central nervous system [CNS] tumors). The Phase 2 part of the study is conducted to assess the objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) of eribulin mesilate in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) and ewing sarcoma (EWS).
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis has been studied in the critically ill patients although it is affected by several uncontrolled variables in the clinical conditions. The aim of this trial is to measure the effects of mildly reduced central volume and cyclic variation of intrathoracic pressure on the variables frequently used to describe the HRV.
Atkins diet is a nutritional regimen characterized by ad libitum protein and fat intake, but carbohydrate restriction. It is followed by millions of people around the word as a life-style, but in the last years was proposed as a treatment for the epilepsy, by its capacity to induce the state of ketosis. Since Authors observed that ketosis could be also useful in migraine, and migraine shares some pathophysiological features with cluster headache, The aim of the study is to test the efficacy of Atkins diet in Cluster Headache by an open label one harm observational study.
There is no specific therapy for acute kidney injury. It is presumed that supportive measures improve the care and outcome of patients with acute kidney injury. The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of a bundle of supportive measures adapted to patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery reduces the occurence of AKI. A Randomized prospective multicenter trial is needed to investigate whether the implementation of the bundle of measures is effective to prevent AKI in high risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this feasibility trial the investigators will analyze the compliance rate to the trial protocol in a multicenter, multinational cohort in preparation for a large randomized controlled trial.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin 200 milligrams (mg) and Sotagliflozin 400 mg versus placebo on HbA1c reduction at 26 Weeks in participants with Type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control and moderate renal impairment. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the effects of Sotagliflozin 200 mg and 400 mg versus placebo with respect to additional measures of glycemic control, blood pressure, and body weight. - To evaluate the safety of Sotagliflozin 200 mg and 400 mg versus placebo.
Cardiovascular disease and malignancies account for more than 70% of all causes of mortality and morbidity in Italy. There is a subtle balance between genetic determinants and lifestyle, that often defines the line between health and sickness. So far studies aiming at identifying risk factors have mainly come from Northern Europe and the USA. It was to understand this balance between genetics and environmental determinants better, and to tailor appropriate preventive strategies for Italian and other Southern European populations, that the Moli-sani study was launched, transforming a small Italian region into a large scientific laboratory: the "Molise lab". Each participant received a thorough medical check-up at no cost to either him/her or the national health service, resulting in thousands of hours of free public health care. With a completely computerized system, Moli-sani is a "paperless" study, in which researchers and participants communicate using recently developed technologies such as mobile phone text messages (SMS). The biological data bank (the "MoliBank") is one of the largest in Europe. Paying particular attention towards innovation and new technologies, the Moli-sani study has placed itself at the cutting edge of a new paradigm crossing research and prevention
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin 400 milligrams (mg) versus placebo with respect to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction at Week 26 in participants with Type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control and severe renal impairment Secondary Objectives: - To assess the effects of sotagliflozin 200 mg versus placebo based on change from baseline in HbA1c - To assess the effects of sotagloflozin 400 mg and 200 mg versus placebo - To evaluate the safety of sotagliflozin 400 mg and 200 mg versus placebo
For the treatment of stage I-II NSCLC, two mini-invasive techniques are mostly utilized: uni-portal and three-portal VATS. In the uniportal approach, the injury on a single intercostal space could determine a lower level of pain than the three-portal approach, allowing a better postoperative course. Few studies in Literature compare these techniques, and most of them are retrospective. The main purpose of this randomized study is to compare uni-portal VATS with three-portal VATS, in terms of postoperative pain. Secondary objectives of the study are valutations of: - respiratory and functional capacity between the two groups - operative time - number of resected lymphnodes - intra and postoperative complications, such as conversions to open surgery, amount of bleeding, prolonged air leaks, surgical site infections, pulmonary complications.
This pilot study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of CCM therapy in heart failure patients with baseline EF≥50% (HFpEF) who have New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or III symptoms despite appropriate medication. The terminology of the HF classification HFpEF is based on the 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Heart Failure Guidelines.
This 3-part study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oral kallikrein inhibitor, BCX7353, in the treatment angioedema attacks in subjects with Type I or II hereditary angioedema (HAE). In each study part, subjects will treat 3 attacks with BCX7353 (2 attacks) or placebo (1 attack), in a randomly allocated order. In Part 1, the dose of 750mg will be assessed relative to placebo in up to 36 patients. If this is shown to be effective, then a further 12 patients will be enrolled at a 500mg dose (Part 1), followed by a further 12 (if efficacy still shown) at a dose of 250mg (Part 3) to determine the minimum effective dose of BCX7353 compared to placebo for treating HAE attacks. Efficacy will be determined by subject diary entries completed at pre-defined times post-dose.
