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 Phase 2, randomized, open-label, 3-arm trial in the ratio of 1:1:1 to either Sym004 (Arm A) versus each of its component monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), futuximab (Arm B) or modotuximab (Arm C), in genomically-selected patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) and acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) mAb therapy. The study is designed to evaluate the relative antitumor activity of each agent as assessed by imaging studies performed after 8 weeks of treatment.
Preterm birth (PTB) is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Worldwide, about 15 million babies are born too soon every year, causing 1.1 million deaths, as well as short- and long-term disability in countless survivors. Different strategies have been studied for prevention of spontaneous PTB (SPTB) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), including progesterone, cerclage, cervical pessary, as well as lifestyle modification, such as smoking cessation, diet, aerobic exercise, and nutritional supplements. Most successful effort to reduce the incidence of SPTB have focused on asympatomatic women with risk factors, such as prior SPTB or short cervix. However, most SPTB occur in symptomatic women, i.e. women with preterm labor (PTL). Women with arrested PTL are at increased risk of SPTB. The cervical pessary is a silicone device that has been used to prevent SPTB. The leading hypotheses for its mechanisms are two: that the pessary helps to keep the cervix closed, and that the pessary changes the inclination of the cervical canal so that the pregnancy weight is not directly above the internal os. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of pessary in reducing preterm birth in women with arrested preterm labor

Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic pathology characterized by exacerbations and remissions. Recurrent inflammation can cause bowel strictures, fistulae (often perianal) or abscesses. CD often requires intestinal resection. Surgery in CD is not curative, Therefore, endoscopic follow-up 6-12 months after surgery is recommended. Given the association between enteric bacteria and postoperative CD recurrence, antibacterial agents were shown to be effective in reducing the severity of endoscopic recurrence, but prolonged administration causes significant toxicity. The efficacy of "systemic antibiotics" and the experimental evidence of the central role of luminal flora as an essential factor in the development of post chirurgic CD recurrence provide the rationale for evaluating a locally acting antibiotic like Rifaximin.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with casimersen or golodirsen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
RATIONALE: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is known to improve cardiac performance and to reduce morbidity and mortality in reduced-ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF) despite optimal medical therapy (OMT). Several studies have shown that patients with with left bundle branch block (LBBB) respond favourably to CRT, whereas there is less certainty about non-LBBB morphology. Specifically, whether patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and HFrEF benefit from CRT is unclear. Some studies suggest lack of favourable outcomes. It follows from this that VVI implantable defibrillator are implanted in most RBBB patients.On the other hand right ventricular bifocal stimulation could be useful as an alternative approach in patient with RBBB. It consists of two endocardial leads implanted in right ventricle. The first lead is implanted in His bundle area, and the second lead is in the right ventricle apex. In this way bifocal pacing could decrease the inter- and intraventricular delays, thus improving left ventricular hemodynamics. However no specifically randomized studies are designed to date. PURPOSE: To demonstrate the superiority of right ventricular bifocal stimulation over placebo (VVI implantable defibrillator) in RBBB and HFrEF despite OMT. DESIGN Multicenter prospective randomized, double blind cross-over study. MASKING Investigator responsible for device programming is masked from having knowledge about clinical, functional, and echocardiographic data. On the other hand echocardiographist is masked from having knowledge about stimulation mode. Patients are masked from having knowledge about their clinical, functional, and device data. POPULATION At least fifty patients would be enrolled. The enrollment period should be one year. Study overall duration should be two years. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA RBBB and HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%) in sinus rhythm, in NYHA class II-III or ambulatory IV despite OMT. EXCLUSION CRITERIA -Refusal or withdrawal of informed consent.Renal failure (glomerular filtration rate ≤ 60 ml/min).Life expectancy < 12 months.Active neoplasm.Permanent atrial fibrillation.40 days following acute coronary syndrome.Atrio-ventricular block (from second degree AV block).Valvular heart disease with surgery indications. PROTOCOL Each patient undergoes baseline assessment. Pharmacological therapy, hospitalization,NYHA functional class, QRS complex informations, type of heart disease and comorbidities are collected. Quality of life (QOL) is defined by Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire. Functional capacity is assessed by 6MWT (optionally by cardiopulmonary exercise test). Trans-thoracic echocardiogram is performed, analyzing: left-ventricle diameters and volumes, left-ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), left atrial diameter and area, TAPSE,valvulopathy,systolic pulmonary artery pressure. All patients undergo bifocal right ventricular resynchronization therapy: right atrial lead is implanted, whereas the first ventricular lead is placed in His bundle area, and the second ventricular lead in the right ventricle apex. Then the leads are connected to the respective channels of a CRT-D generator.After the implant, all devices are programmed in VVI mode. After the first 40±10 days (first f-up) patients are 1:1 randomized to VVI mode 40 beats/minute (placebo arm) or bifocal DDD-mode 60 beats/minute (with VV delay 0 msec and optimal AV delay). After six months (second f-up) a clinical and instrumental assessment equal to baseline is performed, as well as devices electrical parameters control. Then arms cross-over is performed (from VVI-mode to bifocal DDD-mode and vice versa). At 12 months (end of follow-up) an evaluation equal to that performed at 6 months is assessed. Echocardiographic data are unravelled to the investigator responsible for device programming. In this way the stimulation mode able to determine the best clinical improved (VVI or bifocal DDD mode) is programmed and the study closes. PRIMARY ENDPOINT The main assumption is that bifocal stimulation can increase of at least 20% the distance walked during 6MWT in respect of baseline and VVI-mode.The primary endpoint is the distance walked (expressed by meters) during 6MWT, as assessed at baseline, 6-months follow-up and 12 months follow up. Specifically changes in 6MWT observed during bifocal DDD-mode compared to baseline and to VVI mode would be significative if there is an increase of at least 20%. SECONDARY ENDPOINT Secondary endpoint is bifocal stimulation therapy response, defined by at least one of the following criteria, evaluated at baseline, 6-months follow-up and 12 months-follow-up in comparison to baseline and VVI mode: NYHA functional class improvement; changes in 6MWT, defined by an increase in distance walked major or equal to 30%; LVEF improvement major or equal to 25%;Left ventricular telesystolic volume reduction major or equal to 15%
