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 purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the health properties of a dietary intervention carried on with an innovative low-salt bread. The hypothesis is that the introduction of a low-sodium bread as part of a low-salt diet may improve the compliance to the own regime and that the vascular function, the inflammatory and oxidative state, the composition of the intestinal microbiota and that neurocognitive and neurodegenerative processes can improve in hypertensive patients fed a low-salt diet with low-salt bread.
Restore a lost function is a special experience for people affected by neuromuscular evolutive diseases. "From the patient's point of view improvement is measured by regaining lost abilities,-by being able to do something -anything-today I couldn't do yesterday ". Upper limb pain, stiffness and activity limitations have a crucial role in reducing patients' autonomy and worsening quality of life. Real users' needs have been identified thought several workshops, and even if the commercial products might assure a benefit to some users and meet most of their requirements, so far a validation of the use of such devices by people with neuromuscular disease is missing. We aim at field-testing the improvement in arm functions provided by the use of some commercial devices and assessing their impact to users' quality of life and independence. This step is essential to assure a widespread accessibility to these devices for most of the potential users, possibly providing health providers with direction and guidance towards Health Technology Assessment. Clinical Trial design - The study proposes on-field validation of JAECO WREX, passive antigravity exoskeleton; and Armon Ayura, motorized arm exoskeleton for gravity compensation in a randomized controlled trial with crossover design. The clinical study will is multi-centric, involving both MEDEA and VALDUCE, and received the Ethical Committee approval.
This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A, an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) administered in combination with paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with paclitaxel in participants with previously untreated, inoperable locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed TNBC. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive atezolizumab or placebo plus paclitaxel until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or end of study, whichever occurs first (maximum up to approximately 40 months). In addition, the Sponsor may decide to terminate the study at any time.
This randomized, trial will tested the hypothesis that nutritional supplementation with whey protein, essential amino acids - mainly leucine - vitamin D and calcium would increase the efficacy of physical rehabilitation in old adults suffering from Parkinson's disease o parkinsonism
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase III B study to determine the safety and efficacy of CTL019 in pediatric/young adult patients with r/r B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following non surgical periodontal treatment in patients affected by periodontitis and high blood pressure.
The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following no surgical periodontal treatment in obese patients affected by periodontitis.
Prospective cohort study on adult cardiac surgery patients. Platelet function evaluated before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Bleeding and transfusion recorded. Primary endpoint is finding the association between postoperative platelet function and bleeding.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled supplementation trial tested the hypothesis that nutritional supplementation with muscle-target nutritional supplementation concurrent with regular, controlled physical activity would increase the efficacy of physical rehabilitation in old adults suffering from sarcopenia
Neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxias represent a group of disabling disorders for which we currently lack effective therapies. Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique, which has been demonstrated to modulate cerebellar excitability and improve symptoms in patients with cerebellar ataxias. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study, the investigators will evaluate whether a two-weeks' treatment with cerebellar anodal tDCS and spinal cathodal tDCS can improve symptoms in patients with neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxia and can modulate cerebello-motor connectivity, at short and long term.
