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.
Prospective clinical study with two parts: PART A: a prospective biomarker-based risk screening study in coronary heart disease (CHD) subjects PART B: a nested randomized clinical trial (RCT) in an enriched subpopulation of high-risk stable CHD subjects PART A: 12 000 subjects with stable CHD PART B: 2000 subjects with high risk of CV events will be randomized to usual care (UC) or personalised prevention program (PPP) i.e. 1000 subjects per arm. Study purpose is to assess the clinical value and cost-effectiveness of a personalised prevention program (PPP) in high-risk, stable coronary heart disease (CHD) subjects and to prospectively validate risk screening biomarkers
Ultrasound imaging of the lung (LUS) and associated tissues has demonstrated clinical utility in COVID-19 patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibilities of a portable pocket-sized ultrasound scanner in the evaluation of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, in comparison with a high end ultrasound scanner. Statisical analysis will be performed with Stata for Windows V 16 (Stata corp, Texas College, TX). Power size estimation using Medcalc 19.3.1, (MedCalc Software Ltd, Ostenda, B) showed that hat 34 patients would be required for the comparison of the two methods using the Bland-Altman method assuming a mean difference in total score of 1±1, a false positive rate (α) of 0.05 and a false negative rate of 0.1 (β=0.9).
A study designed to evaluate the safety of crovalimab with eculizumab in participants with PNH currently treated with complement inhibitors. This study will enroll approximately 190 participants.
This multicenter open-label randomized controlled trial is set up to evaluate the effect of fetoscopic laser surgery on the gestational age at birth for monochorionic twin pregnancies diagnosed with twin anemia-polycythemia sequence. Half op the patients will be treated with fetoscopic laser surgery, while the other half will be managed with standard treatment. The hypothesis is that fetoscopic laser therapy will improve neonatal outcome by prolonging pregnancy.
Purpose of the study will be to evaluate the effects of the s.c. administration of 300 IU of FSH in 16 healthy males. The endothelial function will be evaluated by the measurement with ecographic approach of the flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. The FMD will be measured before and 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours after FSH or placebo adiministration in the same subjects studied 2 weeks apart. The results will help to clarify whether perturbation of FSH, similar to the one observed in women after the menopause, affect endothelial function.
In this study, we will assess the efficacy and safety of a reduced dose of thrombolytic therapy given in addition to low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with intermediate-high-risk acute pulmonary embolism. Half of participants will receive thrombolytic treatment, while the other half will receive a placebo.
The objective of this study is to assess the outcomes between deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty using dehydrated versus standard organ culture stored donor corneas.
This is a postmarket clinical follow up study on the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System and the Edwards PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System in transcatheter mitral valve repair.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of three different ablation strategies in patients with persistent AF: 1. PV antral isolation alone (PVAI) 2. PV antral isolation plus ablation of drivers (PVAI+drivers) 3. PV antral isolation plus isolation of posterior wall (PVAI+box) All three strategies will employ contemporary catheter ablation technology using more efficient open irrigated tip cooling and contact force sensing.
Inguinal hernias are associated with problems related to the venous system by the linking to extracellular matrix alterations (ECM). On the other hand, arterial diseases (arterial aneurysms, carotid, stenosis, peripheral artery disease) are widespread in the general population and may share others pathological pathways related to ECM impairment. Aim to this study is to evaluate the prevalence of arterial diseases in patients with inguinal hernia.
