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.
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD) is an emerging condition with heterogeneous manifestations from both the microbiological and the clinical point of view. Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines are available but there are still unmet patients' and physicians' needs, including the exams to perform in the nutritional evaluation and intervention to improve health-related QoL and to control gastrointestinal side-effects during antimicrobial therapy, particularly in those with low body mass index and history of weight loss.
The clinical use of a flowable premixed calcium-silicate bioceramic sealer used in association with warm carrier-based/single-cone technique will be compared with epoxy resin-based sealer with carrier-based technique.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of UGN-301 (zalifrelimab) administered intravesically as monotherapy and in combination with other agents in patients with recurrent NMIBC.
This study represents a prospective, controlled and randomized clinical trial assessing the effects of L-PRF on the healing time of the donor area and on the patient's postoperative morbidity in the 4 weeks following the Apically Positioned Flap (APF) procedure in the uncovering phase of two-stage implants. A total of 40 patients were recruited and divided into two groups. The implant uncovering procedure in the test group was performed with APF and application of L-PRF on the donor area. Patients in the control group, on the other hand, were treated with APF alone, leaving the donor area to heal by secondary intention.
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 2 arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance and safety for the use of the investigational catheter for intracardiac mapping in the atria and ventricles.
Observational, noninterventional, 3-year study to examine the presence of detectable differences in neurocognitive, developmental, motor, neurophysiologic, and quality of life measures over time in patients with cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder.
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common learning disorder. Multiple cognitive and sensory domains contribute to the etiology of DD and develop before reading acquisition. Atypical brain functional responses and structural features have been found in the reading developing circuitry. Treatments addressing visual-spatial attention and motion perception (Visual Attention Training; VAT) are among the most effective interventions in Italian children with DD. The VAT seems to improve the efficiency of the visual attention system and the magnocellular (M) pathway which is crucial for learning to read. Evidence for impaired M function in subjects with DD in the visual striate and extra-striate cortex have been reported. How these treatments affect the brain functionality is still not clear. Since DD has a neurobiological basis, it is important to deeply investigate atypical functional responses and structural features in reading-related areas, and to understand how treatments operate at the neuronal level. A growing number of studies investigates structural and functional measures in neurodevelopmental disorders by using high-resolution MRI at high field (3T and 7T). Similarly, several studies examine the effects of different types of reading training upon brain activity. Better understanding of the relationship between structural/functional abnormalities and DD could disentangle the causes of reading difficulties and helps in developing effective treatments. The significance of this study is twofold: 1) NEURAL CORRELATES OF TREATMENT: The investigators expect TACHIDINO to specifically affect the underlying neurophysiological functioning which influences reading skills in children with DD; 2) BRAIN SIGNATURES: As integrated multi-domain data (behavioral and brain imaging) are complementary to each other, they could enhance the possibility to find unique treatment/brain functioning combinations to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention and to predict the treatment response.
- Collect a large number of samples with certain / suspected diagnosis of collecting duct carcinoma in order to confirm the diagnosis (centralized review) and standardize according to WHO 2016 criteria - Build an extensive tissue bank (DNA and RNA extraction) aimed at defining the molecular taxonomy of the tumor through 1) transcriptomic analysis 2) gene expression profile - Define specific molecular signatures
A malnutritional status is known to be associated with altered immune function, reduced function, and worsen outcomes after orthopedic surgery. Medical and surgical complications are not uncommon in Orthopedics and infection rates are potentially life-threatening complications, with the highest morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Most patients undergoing orthopedic surgery are elderly, malnourished, osteosarcopenic, sedentary, anemic, and suffer from low levels of vitamin D. A mono-nutrient supplement may be not sufficient for supporting the arthrodesis techniques, which are invasive open surgeries procedures with significant blood losses and the need of transfusions. In this therapeutic area, immuno-nutrition has been used in spine surgery, with the reduction of complications, revisions, and readmissions. In addition, prosthetic surgery outcomes have been observed to ameliorate by using this nutritional support. Therefore, preoperative oral immuno-nutrition therapy may be applied in older adults undergoing spine surgery to improve patients' outcomes and reduce complications. This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, 2-arm non-parallel-group, single-center interventional study to assess the efficacy of an immuno-nutrition therapy vs. hospital standard of care in spine surgery to improve patients' outcomes. This is a single primary endpoint study. A total of 136 patients from IRCCS Orthopedic Institute Galeazzi in Italy will be recruited and assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the treatment arm.
