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 explore safety, tolerability, including the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), and antitumor activity of NMS-03592088 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML).
Gait impairments of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) limit the independence in the daily activities and sensibly increase the risk of falls. New gait analysis methods, based on wearable inertial sensors, have been proposed to track the gait features during treatment and in real-life conditions. Gait training based on auditory cues as Rhythmical Auditory Stimulation (RAS) have preliminarily shown positive effects improving gait velocity, stride length, step cadence of walking in PD. In the current project, the research group will aim to develop a smartphone application (Parkinson App Smartphone Aimed: P.A.St.A.) integrated with sensors and RAS. In a second time, investigators will analyze the spatio-temporal gait parameters obtained by the wearable sensors and the sociodemographic and clinical data, thus generating a big data set, to improve the knowledge about current pharmacological therapies and rehabilitation.
Inositol in involved in the insulin pathway. In literature it has been demonstrated to improve insulin sensitivity and ovarian function in women affected by PCOS. In a preliminary study conducted on obese children between 7 and 15 years, the investigators have demonstrated that Inositol administration (Myo-inositol 1100 mg + D-Chiro-inositol 27,6 mg + Folic Acid 400 μg) before a Glucose Oral Tolerance Test reduces the increase of insulin levels, particularly in subjects with basal insulin ≥ 15 uU/ml. So the aim of this study is to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of inositol, as non-pharmacologic agent, in preventing tipe II diabetes in children.
For patients with triple negative breast cancer, implementation of genetic testing in decision making might impact both risk management for the patient and her family, but also, importantly, therapeutic management. Identifying genetically predisposed subjects dictates risk-reducing strategies that may imply bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and mastectomy or long term medical approaches. In the advanced setting, genetic testing can influence decision for medical therapy (e.g. use of platinum derivatives, poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARP inhibitors) in breast cancer patients with breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutation. The selection of patients for testing has long relied on the presence of a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer. It is now clear that this criterion will result in substantial numbers of those with a BRCA mutation being missed. Systematic large-scale genetic testing, simultaneously on germline and somatic tissues, is likely to improve decisional algorithms in patients with ovarian cancer. Feasibility of such approach in the clinical setting, in terms of a turnaround time compatible with clinical needs and sensitivity comparable if not superior to single-gene testing needs to be demonstrated before such diagnostic platforms can be routinely implemented in the diagnostic workflow. This is the scope of the present study.
Nephropathic Cystinosis (NC) is an orphan inherited autosomal recessive disease characterised as a generalized lysosomal storage disease due to a deficiency of the cystine lysosomal transport protein, cystinosin. Patients with NC usually receive cysteamine. Bone impairment was recently recognized as a late complication of NC, occurring at adolescence or early adulthood. Even though the exact underlying pathophysiology is unclear, at least six hypotheses are discussed, and mainly cysteamine toxicity and/or direct bone effect of the Cystinosin (CTNS) mutation. Because of the potential dramatic impact on quality of life of this novel complication, research should aim to better understand bone disease in NC. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the action of cysteamine on osteoclastic differentiation and resorption activity of NC patients, depending on the underlying genotype. The Secondary objective is to describe the clinical bone status of NC patients depending on their underlying genotype.
Randomized, multi-center, double-blind, two-armed, parallel active groups, prospective trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of local anesthetic Chloroprocaine at two different concentrations ( at 1% and 2%) in a pediatric population subjected to peripheral nerve block due to Inguinal hernia repair or Flat foot surgery. The present Protocol is part of an extensive Pediatric Investigational Plan (PIP) in the contest of the marketing authorization application of chloroprocaine use for perineural block. The PDCO has adopted a positive opinion.
Subjects treated with Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin obtained improvement on blood pressure values, body weight and cardiovascular mortality but pathophysiological explanations of these effects are not yet known.
The jugular venous pulse (JVP) reflects changes in the right atrial pressure and its evaluation can be useful in managing many emergency conditions for guiding the fluid administration as well as in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of many heart and lung diseases. The present study aims: i) To validate a novel ultrasonographic (US) technique for obtaining the JVP from a high-resolution B-mode sonograms sequence, recording the changes of the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the internal jugular veins (IJV) over the cardiac cycle; ii) To develop physical and mathematical models capable of providing an indirect estimate of central venous pressure (CVP) from the changes in IJV-CSA acquired through the US investigation, and iii) To test the transferability of the novel US-JVP technique in a clinical setting.
This is a phase III randomized, multicenter study with two different arm: - experimental: prophylactic surgery plus HIPEC CO2 performed with mitomycin and cisplatin - comparator: standard surgery Adjuvant treatment after surgery is mandatory except for documented cases of non-eligibility in both arms. Patient will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be performed during surgery if the total resection of tumor will be reached according to center and neoadjuvant chemotherapy as stratification variables.
