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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of ponatinib in children aged 1 to < 18 years with advanced leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors.
Gastric cancer is a worldwide challenge due to its spread, even epidemic in some areas, and the high mortality rates. Lymphadenectomy is considered the fundamental step during radical gastrectomy. In recent years, some researchers have tried to find a way to improve the surgical identification of the lymphatic drainage routes and lymph node stations. This new surgical frontier is the so called "navigation surgery". Among the different reported solutions, lately, the indocyanine green (ICG) has drawn attention. It is a fluorescence dye, that can be detected in the near infrared spectral band (NIR). The development of specific fluorescence imaging devices has allowed surgeons to visualize tumors, vascular and lymphatic structures. The Da Vinci Xi robotic system has an integrated imaging technology that has been used in colo-rectal and hepato-biliary surgery. However, up to date, the combined use of fluorescence imaging and robotic technology has not been evaluated during lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer. The general design of the present study is to evaluate the role of fluorescence imaging during robotic lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of CC-99282 alone and in combination with anti-lymphoma agents in participants with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
The aim of the study is to identify a pattern of chemoresistive sensors able to recognise the presence of a tumoral pathology from a health state through the analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds inside the specimen. The chemoresistive nanostructured sensors are into an innovative patented device SCENT B1 which can analyse different specimens: blood samples, tissue biopsies, cell cultures. In this study SCENT B1 wil be used to compare the measures of: - tumoral and health tissues taken from different neoplasms after their surgical resection - blood samples from healthy and tumor affected people - pre and post- operative blood samples of tumor affected people
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of HFNC on esophageal pressure and diaphragmatic function in patients with acute respiratory failure
Nutritional disorders are highly prevalent in gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing surgery and have shown to contribute significantly in short, mid and long-term clinical outcome. Although increasing evidence and expert suggestions there is still inadequate awareness about the clinical relevance of nutritional and metabolic alterations in surgical oncologic patients.
Background and rationale of the study: Patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery show a perioperative cardiac risk and postoperative complications, that can be stratified based on parameters linked to patient's conditions and to surgery types. An accurate identification of this risk could offer numerous advantages for these patients, who's 30-day mortality is around 2%. The identification of the correct risk could lead to a better pre- and postoperative management, that could guarantee a better surgery outcome and a faster postoperative recovery. To this day there is no perfect method to correctly estimate this risk. Various studies show that high BNP levels are linked to cardiac events at 30 and 180 days. Further investigations identify different groups, at low, intermediate and high risk, based on BNP levels. BNP is released by ventricular myocytes in response to a wall distress, due to an increased volume, pressure or myocardial ischemia. So BNP plasma levels could be used as a prognostic and diagnostic marker, improving the cardiac risk stratification in patients undergoing surgery and a much more precise management. This study is determined to do an evaluation of the correlations between pre- and postoperative BNP levels and the incidence of cardiac events in patients undergoing major vascular surgery.
The aim of the present investigation is to test of the modulation obtained with denosumab as "priming" therapy before the start of chemotherapy and as concurrent therapy in a population of first line NPC recurrent/metastatic patients
The hypothesis of this study is that neural regulations of the atherosclerotic plaque, identified in the murine model of atherosclerosis, could also exist in human pathology. The dysregulation status of the autonomic nervous system is typical of several cardiovascular diseases, but the role it exerts in the modulation of important mechanisms at the basis of the atherosclerotic process progression has not been investigated yet. The main aim of this study will be to investigate, in the atherosclerotic plaque, the alterations of inflammatory and immune processes, the neural modulations and the presence of dysregulations of the autophagic process. The investigators will also associate the potential presence of neural modulations of the plaque to its stability/instability, from a clinical-translational point of view. Finally, the investigators aim at providing a solid basis for the development of novel therapeutic strategies, which could reduce the elevated health and welfare costs for the clinical management of cardiovascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis.
The project will study a European cohort of individuals identifying themselves as transgender or non-binary and living with HIV. The study will collect both qualitative data on this cohort and clinical data over an 18 month period. The study will investigate the success of HIV treatment for this cohort through the primary outcome measure of HIV viral load recorded in routine blood tests. The results from this study will assist in informing future HIV treatment guidelines on the monitoring of HIV infection in transgender and non-binary individuals and assisting in the design of future interventional studies within this population.
