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 study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The investigators aim to examine the impact of changes in plasma lipoproteins induced by nutritional and pharmacological interventions on glucose homeostasis
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of inhalational sedation on cerebral perfusion in patients with SAH. It will evaluate whether the administration of isofluorane, by inducing direct vasodilation in the cerebral parenchyma, can improve the cerebral perfusion rates. Perfusional CT will be used to study the variation of cerebral blood flow to rule out the vasodilatory effect on territories with different cerebrovascular reactivity aggravating the phenomena of distrectual hypoperfusion (theft theory).
This study is open to adults with a type of kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 improves the health of the kidneys in people with FSGS. Three different doses of BI 764198 are tested in this study. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. Three of the groups receive different doses of BI 764198 and one group receives placebo. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. For about 3 months, they take BI 764198 or placebo as capsules once a day. Placebo capsules look like BI 764198 capsules but do not contain any medicine. Participants visit the study site about 10 times. You can participate in this study from your home. In this case a research nurse will visit you for the study visits. Kidney health is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the study, the results are compared between the different groups. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by inflammation and degeneration within the central nervous system. Over the course of the disease, most patients with MS successively accumulate inflammatory lesions and axonal damage with an increasing degree of disability. Thus, pharmacological treatment options are currently adopted to limit inflammation and to decrease the relapse rate, or simply to alleviate symptoms. On the other hand, neurorehabilitation aims to maintain and possibly improve the residual capacities of neurological patients in order to preserve personal and social activities, constituting an important part of quality health care for MS patients. However, to date, there is no definite agreement on which specific exercise therapy program can be considered the most successful in improving activities and participation. Several studies suggest that a training based on voluntary movements produces greater improvements than a passive treatment. Aerobic exercise training has been also shown to have significant neurophysiological effects in different populations. Furtherly, sports activity may increase adherence and motivation, especially in a young population such as the MS community. However, feasibility of sports activity has not been investigated yet and, in general, the potential interest of these approaches for MS patients remains to determine. This study aims at promoting physical activity in people with MS. Specific objectives are: (i) to evaluate the motor behavioral and neural changes induced by aerobic exercise combined with upper limb motor training based on task-oriented exercises; (ii) to assess the feasibility of leisure time physical activity (e.g. water sports activities) largely involving upper limb function. Participants will receive task-oriented treatment, but only the experimental group will perform also aerobic training in order to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise. Moreover, the role of sports activities will be preliminary investigated, by promoting the participation of the included patients to local or national events focusing on adapted aerobic sports specifically involving upper limb function (e.g., water sports such as sailing, windsurfing, canoeing). Clinical measures will be performed before and after interventions.
Primary objective: • To assess the efficacy of reparixin compared to placebo in limiting CRF in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer undergoing single-agent taxane chemotherapy, using FACITFatigue scale. The secondary objectives are: - To evaluate change in Quality of Life in the two treatment arms - To assess the percentage of patients treated with reparixin compared to placebo delaying and discontinuing chemotherapy - To assess Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) score and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) score associated with reparixin compared to placebo - To assess the effect of reparixin compared to placebo on ECOG PS - To assess the effects of reparixin vs placebo on Objective Response Rate (ORR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS) The safety objective is: • To assess the safety and tolerability of reparixin in adult patients undergoing taxane-containing chemotherapy. The pharmacokinetic (PK) objective is: • To define the PK profile of orally administered reparixin, its metabolites (DF2243Y, DF2188Y, ibuprofen) and concomitant antineoplastic agents (paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel or docetaxel) in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the main driver of surgical morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of the present study is to compare total pancretectomy (TP) and primary pancreatic anastomosis (PA) in a cohort of extremely high-risk patients, with regards to postoperative outcomes and quality of life (QoL).
This study is open to adults with schizophrenia who took part in a previous CONNEX study (study 1346-0011, 1346-0012, or 1346-0013). The purpose of this study is to find out how well people with schizophrenia can tolerate a medicine called Iclepertin in the long term. Participants take Iclepertin as tablets once a day for 1 year. In addition, all participants take their normal medication for schizophrenia. Participants are in the study for a little more than 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 13 times and get about 9 phone calls from the study team. The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Doctors also regularly check the participants' symptoms of schizophrenia.
This is a Phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) and domvanalimab (AB154) compared with durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable NSCLC whose disease has not progressed following definitive platinum-based cCRT.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rusfertide in subjects with polycythemia vera (PV) in maintaining hematocrit control and in improving symptoms of PV.
