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.
In the present investigation, in 50 COPD with persistent hypercapnia after an acute exacerbation, the investigators want to assess the acceptability of HFNC and its effectiveness in further reducing the level of PaCO2, and to eventually verify the hypothesis, based on previous physiological studies, that the response to HFNC is dependent on the level of baseline hypercapnia and eventually on the presence of overlap syndrome. This latter parameters to eventually calculate the sample size and the target population to perform future definitive randomized long term trials vs NIV.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of alternating Non Invasive Ventilation NIV and High Flow Oxygen HFO compared to High Flow Oxygen HFO alone on gas exchanges and prognosis in pneumonia-associated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
The aim of the present study is to investigate and analyze the perception of pain and function impairment during the first week of activation with two different palatal expansion screw to identify an effective pain prevention protocol.
This international observational study aims at examining the patterns of health-related quality of life differences between long-term acute myeloid leukemia patients and their healthy peers from the general population.
The therapeutic advantage of the association of ATRA + Arsenic Trioxide is more favorable and manageable as compared to ATRA + chemotherapy. Nevertheless, at present, there is not enough information on the incidence of long-term side effects. This study, as well as other similar studies conducted around Europe, will focus on following patients treated with this therapy on a long-term basis. Once all studies in Europe will be concluded, all data will be analyzed together.
The present study aims to evaluate, with non-invasive methods, the relationships existing between PEEP and renal perfusion in patients undergoing surgery and requiring ventilatory support and monitoring in intensive care. Renal perfusion will be assessed at baseline (PEEP 0), subsequently ,at the application of progressive increases of PEEP. At the end of the measurements, the implications of the use of PEEP on the renal vascular system will be analyzed.
This is a prospective and randomized trial to compare two different techniques used in normal practice for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in arthroscopy. The experimental group (group 1) will undergo a reconstruction technique where semitendinosus and gracilis will preserve their insertion at the level of the hamstring whereas in the control group (group 2) the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons will be disengaged from their insertion on the hamstring .
Study aims to prospectively evaluate if the pressures normally applied during mechanical ventilation in laparoscopic surgery induce stress on the pulmonary wall. To do this is used measure the variation of esophageal pressure, as indirect index of the pleural pressure and therefore of the transpulmonary pressure, in response to changes in airway pressures in a group of patients undergoing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy or videolaparoscopy.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is often complicated by elevation of cardiac troponin, a marker of myocardial injury, that can be isolated or associated to myocardial infarction (MI). A retrospective study showed that corticosteroid treatment lowers incidence of MI during the hospital-stay. The aim of this clinical trial is to examine whether in-hospital treatment with iv methylprednisolone (20 mg b.i.d) may reduce myocardial injury, as assessed by serum high-sensitivity cardiac T Troponin) and eventually cardiovascular events during a short- and long-term follow-up in patients hospitalized CAP.
This is an open-label, multicenter, nonrandomized Phase 1 and 2 clinical trial evaluating various combinations of BGB-A425 and/or LBL-007 with tislelizumab.
