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.
A study to evaluate the safety of Nivolumab given in combination with Ipilimumab in patients with advanced cancers. The initial group will enroll patients with newly diagnosed Stage 4 or non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.
This is an open-label randomized phase II multicenter trial. An estimated 350 patients deemed to be in complete remission at month 3 after curative treatment are considered for this trial. Two arms of intervention are foreseen: the experimental arm (arm A) based on dietary intervention in addition to standard recommendations and a control arm (arm B) including only standard recommendations. The intervention strategy is based on the AICR/WCRF recommendations for cancer and recurrences prevention and it is focused on decreasing inflammation, glycaemia and insulinaemia while promoting nutrient-rich diet. The reduction in the incidence of tumor recurrence will be analyzed comparing EFS curves between the two arms with the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method. Secondary analyses will describe the time trend in the prevalence of side effects and quality of life, as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 questionnaire. Translational analysis (cytokine, salivary and plasmatic miRNA) will be performed. The trial is coordinated by Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan and conducted in 6 European countries.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intra-tumor and interstitial therapy with hBMP4 in increasing doses in patients with progressive and/or multiple recurrent Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
Carcinomas of the salivary glands (SGCs) are rare tumors. Some selected salivary gland histotypes such as salivary duct carcinomas (SDC) and adenocarcinomas, NOS (not otherwise specified) distinguish themselves for the expression of androgen receptors (AR), which is reported in 21% to 43% of the cases. Thus, similarly to prostate cancer (Pca), androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been suggested to be beneficial in patients with recurrent or disseminated AR-expressing disease. No other therapy except palliative chemotherapy is available after progression on ADT, thus underling the necessity of alternative therapeutic approaches.
There are insufficient data on the safety and efficacy of edoxaban plus antiplatelet therapy in subjects with atrial fibrillation (AF) following percutaneous intervention (PCI) with stenting. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and to explore the efficacy of an edoxaban-based antithrombotic regimen versus a vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-based antithrombotic regimen in subjects with AF following PCI with stent placement. Bleeding is a central safety outcome in cardiovascular clinical trials, especially for antithrombotic strategies and invasive procedures.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate, for the first time in Literature, the effects of betadine washing versus normal saline washing after uterine closure in women undergoing cesarean section (CS) at ≥36 gestational weeks in terms of post CS infections, complication, fever and pain.
A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase 3 study for the correction or maintenance treatment of anemia in participants with incident dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (DD-CKD).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of andecaliximab (GS-5745) in combination with nivolumab versus nivolumab alone in adults with recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
On March 17th, 2011, the European Commission issued a marketing authorization valid throughout the European Union for Eribulin mesylate (Halaven; Eisai Limited), for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after at least two chemotherapic regimens for advanced disease. As the use of Eribulin will be widespread in this tumor setting, a better knowledge of its safety profile outside clinical trials is warranted. Indeed the possibility to select patients at risk for developing Eribulin-induced neuropathy, will allow the exclusion from these treatment of those patients harbouring the specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Given that Eribulin toxicity often results in treatment discontinuation, the ability to anticipate which patients will experience severe toxicity could allow for either early intervention or even possibly for prophylactic therapy, or for selection of the patients to be treated.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to investigate Efficacy and Safety of Oral Semaglutide versus Empagliflozin in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
