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 was to demonstrate superiority of treatment with avelumab plus best supportive care (BSC) versus physician's choice (chosen from a pre-specified list of therapeutic options) plus BSC.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of treatment with avelumab versus continuation of first-line chemotherapy.
The purpose of the Valiant Evo International Clinical Trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Valiant Evo Thoracic Stent Graft System in subjects with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) who are candidates for endovascular repair.
This is a national, multicentric, prospective, observational trial. The decision to prescribe FOLFOX or FOLFIRI plus panitumumab or FOLFOX or FOLFIRI plus cetuximab must have been freely taken by the clinician prior to the study entry for each patient included. Each physician will see his/her patients within the context of routine visits, without any special visit being organised for the purposes of the study. Therefore, the doctor-patient relationship and patient follow-up are not modified. Physicians are totally free to decide on their patients' therapeutic management. EORTC QLQ-C30 and DLQI questionnaires will be completed by the patients at baseline (Day 1 of Cycle 1), at the first day of every other cycle (every 2 weeks) thereafter, and at ""End of Study Visit" (within 28 days from the end of treatment with anti-EGFR or withdrawal from study for any reason). Before every cycle, adverse events will be recorded and graded according to NCI CTCAE v4.0. Treatment's modifications in terms of cycles' delay, dose reductions or drugs' interruptions will be recorded. Concomitant approaches to prevent or treat dermatological toxicities during the treatment will be registered.
The main purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of 80 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab when added to standard of care in children 10 to 17 years of age with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Part 1 (Phase Ib) Primary objective: To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 836826 in combination with GemOx. Secondary objectives: To evaluate pharmacokinetics of BI 836826 when given in combination with GemOx and to investigate preliminary efficacy in terms of the overall response rate based on investigator's assessment. Part 2 (Phase II randomized) Primary objective: To investigate the efficacy by means of the overall response rate (PR+ CR) based on central review assessment in patients with relapsed DLBCL treated with BI 836826-GemOx compared to R-GemOx. Secondary objective: To investigate the efficacy by means of the complete remission rate based on central review assessment in patients with relapsed DLBCL treated with BI 836826-GemOx compared to Rituximab + gemcitabine + oxaliplatin (RGemOx).
The primary objectives of Parts A and B of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ascending doses of tofersen in adults with ALS and a documented superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation. The primary objective of Part C of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tofersen administered to adults with ALS and a confirmed SOD1 mutation. The secondary objective of Parts A and B of this study is to evaluate the effects of tofersen on levels of total SOD1 protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The secondary objectives of Part C are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic (PD), and biomarker effects of tofersen.
A growing amount of reports has consistently evidenced that a sustained inhibition of the angiogenesis is an effective therapeutic strategy, able to improve the outcome of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. In the last decade different biologic agents targeting angiogenesis have been approved for the treatment of mCRC, such as bevacizumab, aflibercept and regorafenib, and, more recently, solid evidences have demonstrated the efficacy of a sustained antiangiogenic approach even beyond the first progression to a bevacizumab-containing regimen. In particular, two phase III randomized trials proved the effectiveness of prosecuting bevacizumab in second-line switching the chemotherapeutic regimen in patients already treated with bevacizumab in first-line. Preliminary experiences evidenced that circulating levels of angiogenesis-related markers are significantly modulated during first-line chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. In particular, a wide variability of plasma soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) levels is observed at the time of disease progression and retrospective data suggest that benefit from the continuation of bevacizumab may be restricted to patients with high levels of soluble VEGFR-2 at the first evidence of disease progression. This study aims at prospectively validating those retrospective data.
The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of a 6-month intervention (counseling) focused on weight loss in a group of overweight or obese women previously treated for early breast cancer. Intervention is designed to improve adherence to a healthy diet or/and to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary time, taking advantage of a pedometer-like device.
This multicenter, open-label study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of prophylactic emicizumab treatment in participants previously treated with episodic or prophylactic bypassing agents. Episodic bypassing agent participants will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive emicizumab prophylaxis (Arm A) versus no prophylaxis (Arm B) and will be stratified across Arms A and B according to the number of bleeds they experienced over the last 24 weeks prior to study entry (less than [<] 9 or greater than or equal to [>/=] 9 bleeds); Arm B participants will have the opportunity to switch to emicizumab prophylaxis after at least 24 weeks on-study. Prophylactic bypassing agent participants will switch to emicizumab prophylaxis (Arm C) from the start of the trial; enrollment will be extended for 24 weeks after the last participant has enrolled in Arms A or B or until approximately 50 participants have enrolled in Arm C, whichever occurs first. Episodic bypassing agent participants who previously participated in the non-interventional study BH29768 (NCT02476942) who were unable to enroll in Arms A or B, or participants on prophylactic bypassing agents who were unable to enroll in Arm C, prior to their closure will have the opportunity to enroll in Arm D. Like participants in Arms A and C, Arm D participants will receive emicizumab prophylaxis from the start of the trial. All participants will continue to receive episodic bypassing agent therapy to treat breakthrough bleeds, preferably with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa).
