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.
This trial involves patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis treated with transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with resin microspheres loaded with 90Y. Patients will be divided in two groups based on prescription method to calculate the therapeutic radionuclide activity to be injected. In arm A, standard dosimetric approach such as Body Surface Area (BSA) method and Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry (MIRD) monocompartmental method will be used. In arm B, novel voxel-based dosimetry, based on pre-treatment simulation with 99m-Technetium (99mTc)-Macro Aggregated Albumin (MAA) injection and SPECT/CT image acquisition, will be used. The primary outcome will be the overall survival of patients included in arm A and arm B. Secondary outcomes will be adverse events, tumor response, biomarkers assessed from blood samples prior and after the treatment and voxel-based dosimetry obtained from post-treatment PET/CT images acquisitions.
A global, multi-center, Disease Monitoring Study (DMS) in participants with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1) or Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 2 (ADH2) designed to characterize ADH1 and ADH2 disease presentation and progression through retrospective (past) and longitudinal prospective (over time into the future) data collection.
The study aims at evaluating the effect of dark chocolate consumption on anatomy and functionality of retinal blood vessels by comparing these same parameters after milk chocolate consumption.
To prospectively study the effect of adherence to ERAS and PBM programs on early outcomes after colorectal surgery
The primary aim of REuBio study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of repeated endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy after a previous non-diagnostic or inconclusive EUS-guided sampling of solid pancreatic lesions.
INTRODUCTION: It is very common that migraine patients could refer neck pain during or after the pain phase of migraine, suggesting that migraine pathophysiological mechanisms could be effective in activating neck pain pathways and be part of the migraine attack. Due to the therapeutic effect of multimodal physical therapy (mobilization and/or manipulation plus exercises) on several pain conditions arising from articular and/or muscular structures such as neck pain, and given the close clinical, anatomical and pathogenetic bi-directional relationship between neck pain and migraine, it would be of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of the physical treatment of the neck region in migraine pain. PURPOSE: to evaluate the efficacy of a combined multimodal physical therapy approach plus usual care vs. usual care alone in subjects with episodic and chronic migraine with concomitant cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions. STUDY DESIGN: this is a prospective, parallel group, randomized clinical trial. METHODS: A total of 56 subjects aged 18-65 who meet criteria for episodic or chronic migraine with concomitant cervical musculoskeletal dysfunctions will be randomly assigned to receive, musculoskeletal focused multimodal physical therapy (16 sessions over 8 weeks) plus usual care treatment vs. usual care alone. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: not declared.
Gastrointestinal Emergency Surgery: Evaluation of Morbidity and Mortality
SURE-01 is a neoadjuvant phase 2, open-label, non-randomized, singlecohort study in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Patients will be consecutively enrolled and treated. The primary objective of the study is to assess whether sacituzumab govitecan results in pathological complete response (in patients with Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer who cannot receive or refuse cisplatin-based chemotherapy). Secondary objectives were to evaluate the radiological response of those patients with measurable disease; to evaluate the surgical and medical safety of neoadjuvant therapy; to assess survival outcomes (event-free survival and overall survival).
It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 45 patients with lateral fragility fractures of the femur treated by three different intramedullary nails. Patients were randomized in Group A (15 patients treated by Affixus Zimmer-Biomet), Group B (15 patients treated by EBA2 - Citieffe) and Group C (15 patients treated by Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation Synthes). One independent observer performed seven biochemical evaluations (hemoglobin serum value) from admission to patient discharge. Surgical time and Blood transfusions number were reported for each partecipant.
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose regimens of ARGX-117 versus placebo, in participants with MMN previously stabilized with IVIg (intravenous immunoglobulin).
