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.
In the early years of life and during adolescence, physical activity is crucial for good development of motor skills. It is even more so for those children and young people who are forced to undergo anti-cancer therapies and therefore undergo long periods of hospitalization (often bedridden) and prolonged periods of physical inactivity. The research project "Sport Therapy" was born with the aim of demonstrating that, through targeted physical activity administered by the sports physician in collaboration with the pediatrician hematologist, it is possible to facilitate the full recovery of these patients, avoiding the high risk of chronic diseases related to a sedentary lifestyle and allowing them to better reintegrate, once healed, in their community of origin (school, sport and social relations). The research project "Sport Therapy" was born within the Maria Letizia Verga Center at the Pediatric Clinic of the University of Milan Bicocca, at the Foundation for the Mother and Her Child, San Gerardo Hospital in Monza. Every year, around 80 children and adolescents with leukemia, lymphoma or blood disorders leading to bone marrow transplantation are treated here.
The RESPOND Outcomes study is a research study around use of antiretroviral and other relevant drugs and long-term clinical outcomes in patients living with HIV. Data collected in this study will be used to answer key unanswered questions regarding treatment of people living with HIV.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib is safe and effective in participants from 1 year to less than 18 years old with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive baricitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive baricitinib.
Registration of all ACS patients (STEMI and NSTEMI) admitted to the cardiology ward and scheduled for early invasive strategy. The aim is to evaluate the protective effects of early (on admission) high-dose high-potency statin therapy on early and mid-term cardiac and renal events in this subset of patients.
The final goal of the present study is to propose a new approach and an innovative therapeutic plan in the post-stroke rehabilitation of elderly patients, focused on the use of robotic device, in order to obtain the beneficial effects of this treatment.
The final goal of the present study is to propose a new approach in the Parkinson's Disease rehabilitation, focused on the use of robotic devices and to check the results not only at the end of the treatment but also in the long term, foreseeing 3 follow-up.
The objective of the study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL® as a means of reducing intra- as well as post-operative CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective cranial intradural surgery with a dural closure procedure to show noninferiority compared to a control group.
This is a prospective, single-center, study. A targeted number of 181patients with persistent AF will be included according to pre-defined criteria. The ablation procedure consists on the identification of the arrhythmic substrate using a novel integrated mapping technique. We hypothesize that such approach may potentially lead to a mechanisms-targeted ablation strategy of persistent AF.
To evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of GEN1042 in patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.
This is a prospective phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study to evaluate activity of an innovative sequence on capecitabine plus concomitant radiation therapy followed by durvalumab in patients with operable rectal cancer. The enrollment period will be of 12 months. Eligible patients will be initiated to a standard concomitant chemoradiation therapy for 5 weeks. One week after the end of CT/RT patients will be treated with durvalumab for 3 administrations. Patient will undergo surgery after 10-12 weeks from the end of CT/RT and the surgical piece will be analyzed. After surgery patients will be followed up for 5 years, according to clinical practice.
