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.
Background: venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in critically ill patients, admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). At the present time, there is no validated score to estimate risks and benefits of antithrombotic pharmacological prophylaxis in this subset of patients. Aim of the study: investigating potential harms and benefits of a protocol for systematic screening of DVT in critically ill patients, admitted to an ICU. Expected relevance: systematic screening for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) through ultrasound (US) lower limb veins examination could help defining the indication to antithrombotic pharmacological treatment, but no protocol of systematic screening has been validated so far. Furthermore, the screening could be associated with over-diagnosis and consequent over-treatment, as well as increased management burden for the caregivers and higher healthcare costs.
The primary objective of the trial is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of apraglutide in subjects with SBS-IF.
This study is being done to see if a combination of 2 medicines (called NNC0194-0499 and semaglutide) can reduce liver damage in patients with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NNC0194-0499 is a new medicine which works in the liver. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. It also helps with weight loss and may reduce liver damage, and so prevent future liver complications. It works in a different way to NNC0194 0499. The 2 medicines may work better together than on their own. The study will also look at a combination of semaglutide and another weight-loss medicine called NNC0174-0833, which may be another treatment option for NASH. Each week, participants will get 2 injections. These could be 2 of the 3 medicines OR 1 of the medicines and a placebo OR 2 placebo injections. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. A placebo is a dummy medicine which looks like the real medicine but doesn't contain any active medicine. The study will last for about 19 months. Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the study doctor. Participants will have 1 or 2 liver biopsies (tiny pieces of liver tissue) - one at the start (if participants have not had a biopsy recently) and one at the end of the study treatment. Women: Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of setanaxib on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at Week 24 in participants with PBC and with elevated liver stiffness and intolerance or inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).
The evaluation of the patient's experience is becoming increasingly important as a better patient experience can improve the quality of the delivered health service. Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are self-reported assessment tools provided by patients about their experience during any health event. There are few PREMs's instruments in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, and none is specific for Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). The aim of this study is to develop a questionnaire to evaluate the experience of patients undergoing EUS, identifying and prioritizing the factors related to the patient's experience. In order of it, expected results are developing a valid tool of question to value patients experience during EUS and, for ranking, it is iphotized that will be more correlation with patients's and nurses's answer that clinicians's one. In literature is described that nurse's view and patient's view are more similar especially in those aspects concerning empatics and psychological aspects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) monotherapy, followed by chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab consolidation. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the complete response (CR) rate at the end of study intervention according to Lugano 2014 response criteria is higher than conventional chemotherapy.
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of oral dersimelagon.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (MK-7684A) in hematological malignancies. This study will also evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), the duration of response (DOR), and disease control rate (DCR) following administration of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. In addition, this study will characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of vibostolimab (MK-7684).
This is a double-masked, randomized, parallel-assignment, multicenter trial examining the safety and tolerability of teprotumumab in the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) in adult participants. This international, Phase 3b/4 trial is being conducted to fulfill an FDA post-marketing requirement for a descriptive trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy and need for re-treatment of 3 different teprotumumab treatment durations for TED. In addition, serum samples from participants with a Baseline Clinical Activity Score (CAS) ≥3 will be evaluated for biomarkers of disease.
This is a single group treatment, Phase 2, open-label, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of rilzabrutinib in adult patients with wAIHA. All participants will receive rilzabrutinib orally. The screening period is up to 28 days, followed by a treatment period of 24 weeks for Part A. Participants who complete Part A and are deemed eligible for Part B will continue to receive the study medication for 52 weeks following the Last Patient In (LPI-Part B). There will be a 7-day safety follow-up period after receiving the last dose of study drug either in Part A (for those not eligible for Part B or early terminated) or Part B. The estimated total duration of the study is approximately 137 weeks (Parts A and B), including the follow-up period. For participants deemed ineligible for Part B, the total length of the study will be 29 weeks (Part A only), including screening and the follow-up period. In Part B, participants who temporarily stop rilzabrutinib treatment and maintain a durable response from W50 to W74, will have their EOS visit at Week 75. In this case, participation will be for 79 weeks including the screening period.
