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 the study is to test the technical functionality, safety, and feasibility of a bimanual robotic exoskeletal platform and associated serious games in order to offer information on technological and functional advances that will be included in the device's finalization. In addition, a secondary goal will be to assess the therapeutic effects of a rehabilitation therapy based on the bimanual configuration, comparing it to a unimanual treatment delivered on the same platform (using the specific configuration).
This is a multicenter Phase 1b, open label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study, evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK, preliminary antitumor activity, and effect of biomarkers of XL092 administered alone, and in combination with nivolumab (doublet), nivolumab + ipilimumab (triplet) and nivolumab + relatlimab (triplet) in subjects with advanced solid tumors. In the Expansion Stage, the safety and efficacy of XL092 as monotherapy and in combination therapy will be further evaluated in tumor-specific Expansion Cohorts.
The objective of this observational study is to assess clinical benefits of innovative features (e.g. Bluetooth technology and smartphone patient applications) in a patient population that is implanted with standard indication for implantable cardiac defibrillator.
Background: Several studies suggest that SARS survivors still presented with high levels of psychological distress overall at 1, 3, 12, and 18 months after hospital discharge. Nonetheless, there are no data available in the literature regarding the implementation of interventions that are psychological interventions, let alone specific ones. In particular, the practice of mindfulness, formalized in the protocols such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), have proved to be very effective in reducing stress related to chronic conditions and of depression. However, these protocols typically require a high level of engagement for participants, which is why, in the present exploratory study, the investigators opted to evaluate the implementation of a Mindfulness-based protocol that is short and less intense, but which has shown good results on health-related outcomes, even with a single session. Objectives: In this perspective, it becomes important to detect the presence of psychological distress in those who have contracted COVID-19 and are now undertaking a rehabilitation program, from the perspective of promoting well-being and prevention of possible aggravation if not prolongation of mental suffering in the long term. Study Design: Randomized and Controlled (RCT), two-arm pilot study with three data captures (baseline=T0, 3 weeks=T1, 3 months=T2). Participants: People who have previously tested positive for COVID-19, now negative and hospitalized at the IRCCS Santa Maria Nascente of the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi in Milan.
Study ACTIVATE-Kids (AG348-C-023) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of orally administered mitapivat as compared with placebo in pediatric participants with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) who are not regularly receiving blood transfusions. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive either mitapivat or matching placebo. Randomization will be stratified by age (1 to < 6 years, 6 to < 12 years, 12 to < 18 years). Participants will be dosed by age and weight during a double-blind period consisting of an 8-week dose titration period followed by a 12-week fixed-dose period. Participants who complete the double-blind period will be eligible to receive mitapivat for up to 5 years in the open-label extension (OLE) period.
Anastomotic insufficiency remains one of the most significant problems after rectal resection.The complications following anastomotic insufficiency leads to increased morbidity and mortality with subsequent prolongation of hospital stay and higher costs. This study is an investigation of the benefit of using an autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix (Obsidian ASG®) for treatment of anastomosis during rectal surgery - a single-blind, randomized, multicenter pilot study with enrollment of 2x220 patients The main objective of the study is to investigate on an exploratory basis whether the use of Obsidian ASG® during rectal resection reduces the frequency of postoperative anastomotic insufficiency compared to standard anastomotic technique. The secondary objectives of the study are to investigate on an exploratory basis: - The frequency of anastomotic insufficiency (ISREC Criteria) severity - Staple line bleeding requiring surgical intervention - The duration of postoperative hospitalization are reduced when using Obsidian ASG ® compared with standard anastomotic treatment alone. are reduced when Obsidian ASG ® is added to the standard of anastomotic treatment compared with standard anastomotic treatment alone.
The INROAD is an investigator-driven, prospective, study in which patients undergoing coronary sinus reducer implantation (Reducer) for chronic refractory angina undergo evaluation of the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) at the time of implantation, and at 4 months follow-up
In light of the controversy that are already approved but that however still exists regarding the efficacy and influence the management of Periodontitis, the aim of this study was to evaluates, at 6-months follow-up, the post-treatment clinical and serum parameters in patients with periodontitis, treated by either Intensive scaling and root planing (SRP) treatment versus conventional oral hygiene treatment on serum CRP and NT-proBNP levels. The null hypothesis to invalidate was that there were no variations, in relation to clinical and serum CRP and NT-proBNP.
This study will have two parts. The main aims are to: - check the side effects from mezagitamab. - check for long-term side effects from mezagitamab. Before starting the study, participants will be asked to provide a 24-hour urine sample. A few weeks later, if enrolled they will begin receiving a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) of mezagitamab once a week for 8 weeks then once every 2 weeks for 16 weeks. When treatment has ended, there will be a 24-week follow-up period. Participants who receive benefit from the treatment may continue in the second part of the study where they will be monitored for up to 96 weeks and possibly retreated for another 24 weeks.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of vestibular rehabilitation on metabolic aspects when evaluated by means of bioelectrical impedenzometry analysis, smart watch device and actigraphy in a group of vestibular hypofunction patients previously studied by means of video head impulse test, posturography and clinical validated scales
