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 this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemigatinib versus gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy in first-line treatment of participants with unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 rearrangement.
Septic shock is a devastating condition often observed in ICU. It is characterized by pro-inflammatory and immune responses, organ failures, high incidence of AKI and lethality. Fluid resuscitation is pivotal as supportive therapy. At present, there are no effective therapies to improve survival of such clinical condition, often characterized by a mortality as high as 40% during the first 90 days from diagnosis. This project proposes a large 2-by-2 factorial randomized clinical trial testing the efficacy of albumin and the low- chloride balanced crystalloid solutions (either Ringer Lactate, Ringer Acetate, or Crystalsol - BAL) in septic shock. The investigators have recently concluded a multicenter, randomized trial, the ALBIOS trial, in which, in a post-hoc analysis, albumin, in addition to crystalloids, reduced 90-day mortality in patients with septic shock, as compared to crystalloids alone (Caironi P et al, 2014). Crystalloids with supra-physiological chloride content may deteriorate renal perfusion, increasing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality.
Nocturnal hypertension (i.e. blood pressure values >120/70 or 10% higher than diurnal values, as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ABPM) is particularly frequent in renal transplant recipients (RTR), despite the use of antihypertensive drugs. Since RTR are also affected by several sleep disorders (like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnoea) that frankly impair their quality of sleep (SQ), the aim of the present study is to ascertain whether a relationship exists between nocturnal hypertension and SQ. In fact, both nocturnal hypertension and sleep disorders may favour the onset or the progression of cardiovascular diseases, the first cause of death in RTR.
Each Investigator will have to record data concerning 70 patients. In particular 40 patients "outliers" and 30 patients "control".
Right colectomy (hemicolectomy) involves the removal of the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure, the first one-third of the transverse colon, part of the terminal ileum, and the associated regional fat and lymph nodes, and is the accepted treatment for malignant neoplasms of the right colon. A minimally invasive approach is commonly used for right colectomy, with studies reporting reduced complications, less blood loss, and hospital stay when compared to an open approach. However, there remains controversy regarding whether robotic assistance is advantageous for this technique and whether an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) is best. MIRCAST is a prospective, observational, international, multi-center, 4-parallel-cohorts study. Sites or surgeons will select a cohort of the study for which they are qualified. Four cohorts will be the subject of study: 1. Robotic Right Colectomy with ICA 2. Robotic Right Colectomy with ECA 3. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ICA 4. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ECA All patient assessments will be done according to the sites standard of care. Parameters routinely recorded during right colectomy surgery will be collected prospectively. Enrolled subjects will undergo assessments at the following intervals: pre-operative, operative, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery.
This retrospective and prospective study intends to evaluate the epidemiology and effectiveness of ankle joint surgery in patients operated from January 2011 to March 2026, evaluating the results both clinically and radiographically.
Pain (spontaneous pain) is a fundamental non-motor symptom (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) that is prevalent throughout the condition and often unrecognized and undertreated. The study of the scalp laser-evoked potentials (LEPs) (evoked pain) allows a non-invasive exploration of pain central pathways in humans. This technique proved useful in elucidating the physiopathology underlying different pain syndromes. This study has been conceived to study spontaneous pain (and/or evoked pain by laser stimulation) in PD patients (with or without pain) with motor fluctuations under drugs-on (Safinamide Metansolfonato or Rasagilina Mesilato).
The purpose of this study is to investigate and characterize the association of lenalidomide with tumor flare reaction and high tumor burden in participants with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
The SPINEREG study is a prospective observational registry. Eligible patients are subjects undergoing spine surgery at the participating institutions. Baseline health status and follow-up health status are recorded at pre-established steps.
The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity to evaluate results on a macro-data basis and to give index allowing stratifying, evaluating and improving the outcomes.
