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.
Cushing's syndrome is a relatively rare disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Cushing's syndrome may result from elevated endogenous or exogenous sources of cortisol. Endogenous Cushing's syndrome resulting from cortisol overproduction by the adrenal glands is the subject of this protocol. Patients with exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which develops as a side effect of chronic administration of high doses of glucocorticoids, were not eligible for enrollment in this study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CORT125134 for treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. The multicenter study was conducted in the United States and in Europe.
This study is a phase 2, single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm parallel group (1:1:1) intervention trial to determine the efficacy of 4 weeks rapamycin treatment and 4 weeks rapamycin treatment plus 3 months vildagliptin treatment versus placebo in increasing endogenous insulin production and correcting glycemic lability. It will involve 60 patients with long standing type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients will receive for one month placebo (Group 1), rapamycin plus placebo (Group 2), or rapamycin plus Vildagliptin (Group 3). Rapamycin will be administered at an initial dose 0.2 mg/kg orally on day 0 followed by 0.1 mg/kg/die (target trough levels: 8-10 ng/ml). Vildagliptin will be administered at a dose of 50 mg x2/die starting from day 0. After 4 weeks of treatment (period A), patients will discontinue rapamycin or relevant placebo treatment, but continue Vildagliptin or placebo for a further 8 weeks and be monitored over this period (period B).
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the characteristics, management and clinical course of patients with IPF as treated under real-world in Italian Pulmonary Centres, in terms of symptoms, lung function and exercise tolerance during 12 months of observation.
To assess efficacy and safety of concomitant treatment with nintedanib and sildenafil in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients with advanced lung function impairment.
To prospectively document the performance of a FCSEMS for treatment of pancreatic duct strictures in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis.
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurs when the main blood vessel that transports blood away from the retina (the very back portion of the eye) becomes blocked, causing the leakage of fluid into the retina and thereby causing a swelling of the macula (the portion of the retina responsible for fine vision). This swelling is called macular edema. When the macula swells with fluid, central vision becomes blurry. The study drug aflibercept has been shown to reduce the amount of fluid and blood leaked into the retina. It can help to stabilize, and in many cases, improve the vision loss related to CRVO. Aflibercept has been approved for the treatment of macular edema secondary to CRVO in the United States (US), European Union (EU), Japan, and other countries. The study was considered research because, although the study drug was already on the market for macular edema secondary to CRVO, there were no studies available that addressed the questions of what were useful intervals for treating and assessing patients, how did they differ among patients, and how were criteria applied for retreatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, treatment interval, and safety of the treatment regimen (pattern for administering treatment) in subjects with macular edema secondary to CRVO. In addition, this study explored new imaging methods for assessing the affected eye.
To evaluate the effectiveness of subthreshold laser treatment on retinal sensitivity in patients with reticular pseudodrusen and incipient Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Secondary objective is to investigate changes in best-corrected visual acuity, atrophy progression and safety.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of BAY1841788 (darolutamide (ODM-201)) in combination with standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effect of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) compared with optimized medical treatment (OMT) on dyskinesia in participants with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD).
The main purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of galcanezumab administered up to once monthly in participants with episodic or chronic cluster headache who have completed study I5Q-MC-CGAL (NCT02397473) or study I5Q-MC-CGAM (NCT02438826).
