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.
Rationale and relevance for patients and the scientific community. In low risk early stage patients ≥70 years, exclusive radiation therapy (RT) approach might be superior in terms of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), when compared to exclusive endocrine therapy (ET) following breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Assuming an equal rate of disease control, unnecessary long-term toxicity of ET may be avoided.
REM is a retrospective and prospective registry, finalized to care and research. It is articulated in main sections - strongly related and mutually dependent on each other - corresponding to different data domains: personal information, clinical data, genetic data, genealogical data, surgeries, etc.. This approach has been individuated in order to corroborate and integrate data from different resources and aspects of the diseases and to correlate genetic background and phenotypic outcomes, in order to better investigate diseases pathophysiology.

A recent prospective observational clinical study conducted in an intensive care unit of a third level US university hospital showed that 94% of patients with ES and 50% of those with EC had an ARC for a duration of at least one day during the hospital stay. Although there is currently a great deal of evidence describing ARC in various subgroups of critically ill patients, on the other hand there is little documentation regarding the effect that ARC can have on exposure to renally eliminated drugs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the proportion of plasma under-exposure to hydrophilic antimicrobials in patients with ES or EC and with ARC, in order to verify whether the recommended dosage regimens for these drugs are adequate for reaching the pharmacodynamic targets of therapeutic efficacy.
This study is aimed to explore the antitumor activity, safety and efficacy profile of cabozantinib in pretreated, advanced RET-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer patients
Many patients with acid reflux disease do not improve with regular doses of proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole). The goals of this clinical trial is the to see if taking MARIAL®, in combination with omeprazole, for one month improves symptoms of acid reflux disease compared to taking omeprazole alone. Furthermore, this study will verify the effectiveness of MARIAL® as a maintenance treatment for the next five months. This trial is called by the registered name GENYAL®.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the outcome of two treatment approaches (immediate surgery or close follow-up) in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (mPTc) .
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) has a chronic, relapsing course with patients undergoing multiple, consecutive therapies. Treatment aims at the clearance of skin disease, minimization of recurrence, prevention of disease progression and preservation of quality of life. The treatment of CTCL is primarily determined by the disease extent. Prolonged complete remissions have been obtained with skin-directed therapies in early stage Mycosis fungoides (MF) (IA-IIA), whereas advanced stages CTCL (IIB-IVB) are often refractory to treatment and, thus, have an unfavorable prognosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment option for CTCL, especially for advanced stages, and the optimal treatment sequence is still debated with a large variability in the therapeutic approach across countries. Patients with advanced-stage disease or refractory cutaneous CTCL should be treated with systemic therapies and, whenever possible, should be offered to participate in clinical trials. Currently, there is a urgent call for new treatments in CTCL with higher response rate and prolonged time to progression; In this study, we propose a very innovative treatment schedule in which mogamulizumab is used before Total Skin Electron Beam therapy (TSEB) for systemic disease control and as a maintenance treatment after skin-directed therapy. We hypothesize that our regimen will show a more manageable toxicity profile than a combination treatment and allow for a long-term mogamulizumab administration.
People affected central nervous system (CNS) diseases often suffer from neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) that causes a reduction in the quality of life and participation in social life. Although some conservative approaches exist to treat NBD, none has shown to be effective in managing this complex condition. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) has shown to be efficient in CNS diseases such as epilepsy and migraine. This randomised trial aims at evaluating the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in supporting the management of NBD. The research will be conducted at the outpatient service of Neuro-Urology / Spinal Unit of the Città della Salute e della Scienza Hospital of Torino. A sample of 62 participants will be divided into two groups: standard (nursing intervention) and experimental (nursing intervention and OMT). A neuro-urologist will determine the eligibility for the study. The outcomes will include self-reported and instrumental measures that will be evaluated in 3 times (before, at the end of the intervention and the follow- up three months). The protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Città della Salute e della Scienza Hospital of Torino on 15.04.2019, protocol number 0040534. The standard intervention has been scheduled for 28.10.2019.
