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.
Although it is demonstrated that nutritional support can improve clinical outcomes, the literature shows that approximately 50% of cancer patients are not able to meet their estimated energy requirements. Recent clinical studies suggest that a supplementary support for parenteral nutrition (PN) could significantly help to improve the nutritional status of malnourished cancer patients. International guidelines recommend the use of PN in malnourished, hypophagic, non-surgical cancer patients if enteral nutrition is not feasible and in patients affected by severe iatrogenic gastrointestinal complications and in whom inadequate food intake is anticipated for more than 7 days. However, there are no studies on the effects of integrative PN in hospitalized, malnourished, hypophagic, non-surgical cancer patients. Recent studies have reported on the validity of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis in monitoring the body composition of patients receiving nutritional support. Particularly, phase angle proved to be a superior prognostic marker than other nutritional screening tools.
Italian, retrospective, prospective, observational, multicentre, spontaneous, non-interventional, non-pharmacological The study aims to analyze in the national Italian experience 1. The compatibility level selected by the Italian Transplant Centres using an high resolution HLA typing at the start of search process for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from volunteer unrelated donor 2. The transplant outcomes in terms of Overall Survival, Disease Free Survival, Relapse Rate and Transplant Related Mortality and the correlation with the level of HLA matching pairs of donor/recipient included in the Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and Promise registry. 3. The possible identification of allelic mismatching combinations characterized by increased cross-reactivity associated with higher incidence of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease . 4. The possible identification of combinations of allelic mismatching characterized by higher permissiveness.

Long-term outcome in late-onset Pompe disease treated beyond 36 months (ATBIG-Pompe-Study), a multicenter, multinational, longitudinal, non-interventional observational study in subjects, at least 8 years old, diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease retrospectively and prospectively collects data to understand clinical progression in terms of muscle and respiratory function, and clinical symptomology treated with alglucosidase alfa more than 36 months in 100 subjects.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) has been recently included among the gluten-related diseases. Patients suffering from NCGS are diagnosed after carefully excluding celiac disease (CD), and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated wheat allergy. Then, in the absence of sensitive and specific diagnostic biomarkers for NCGS, a monitoring of the patient during elimination and re-introduction of wheat by a double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) challenge method has been suggested as diagnostic hallmark. Some studies seem to suggest that wheat components other than gluten can cause the symptoms, and therefore the term "non-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS) has been proposed instead of NCGS. While it is well known that CD is a long-life condition and a strict adherence to the gluten-free diet must be maintained, it is unknown whether this is valid for NCWS. On the year 2012, the researchers published a retrospective study, including 276 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms who had been diagnosed with NCWS using a DBPC challenge during a ten-years period (2001-2011). The present prospective study aimed to evaluate: A) how many of these patients are still following a wheat-free diet, and B) which percentage was still suffering from NCWS, diagnosed by DBPC wheat challenge, in a subgroup of that cohort.
