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 multi-center, non-interventional, prospective, post-market clinical study is to collect real world data on patient outcomes and evaluate the procedural success and performance of the Lifetech CeraFlex™ occluders for patients with secundum type Atrial Septum Defect (ASD), Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) or Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA).
This is an observational, multicenter, cross sectional study, collecting clinical and metabolic informations about patients treated with CSII in Italy.
The purpose of this study is to determine safety, feasibility and efficacy (with respect to sensor- augmented pump therapy) of an Artificial Pancreas (AP) prototype in day and night closed-loop control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
This study that aims to evaluate the addition of MPDL3280A (atezolizumab) to carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel in patients with early high-risk and locally advanced triple negative breast cancer. compared to the control arm of carboplatin and abraxane. Half of participants will receive MPDL3280A in combination with carboplatin and abraxane, while the other half will receive only carboplatin and abraxane.
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) in treating motor and phonic tics in medically refractory Tourette's syndrome (TS). Secondary objectives are to individuate and standardize the best electrical parameters for STN stimulation in TS, to evaluate the efficacy and safety on non-motor TS features, such as behavioral abnormalities and psychiatric disorders, during chronic STN stimulation, to correlate the improvement of TS motor and non-motor symptoms to the modification in brain activity recorded by PET study and to explore the pathophysiology of TS, and to evaluate the safety of STN DBS in TS patients.
Some women have a higher risk than others of developing breast cancer. Unhealthy lifestyles, high breast density, family history, obesity, the presence of biomarkers associated with early neoplastic changes (considered alone or in combination) are just some of main factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. Women with a higher risk may need to undergo more intensive screening activities, which include more frequent inspections and the possibility of experiment different types of tests. Instead, low risk women could be screened at longer intervals in order to reduce the screening harms (false positive results, overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, discomfort caused by the test itself, etc.) The ANDROMEDA Study aims at creating the possibility to customize the screening paths through a combined analysis of the above mentioned risk factors. Women consenting to be involved in the study will be asked to provide information on their lifestyle habits and reproductive history. Furthermore a blood sample will be collected for further bio-molecular analysis purposes.
Non-contrast enhanced (NCE) structural MRI enables to investigate renal anatomy. Additional NCE-MR acquisition modalities (e.g. Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) MRI, Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL), MR Angiography (MRA), phase-contrast MRI), which could be used in combination with structural MRI in a single acquisition session, have been identified to investigate in more detail renal function and structure, opening the possibility to estimate local renal diffusion and blood perfusion, beyond providing high-resolution anatomical accuracy. Preliminary to the identification of novel imaging biomarkers of renal disease progression, perfusion and diffusion MR sequences need to be optimized for the renal compartment. Moreover, NCE-MRIs acquired on healthy volunteers are required to investigate perfusion and diffusion changes in pathological kidneys as compared to normal and physiological condition. The objective of this study is to provide normal control NCE-MRI sequences to be used as reference for the investigation of perfusion and diffusion changes in the kidney of patients affected by chronic kidney disease (e.g. diabetic nephropathy, nephrosclerosis, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with glioblastoma that is MGMT-unmethylated (the MGMT gene is not altered by a chemical change). Patients will receive Nivolumab every two weeks in addition to radiation therapy, and then every four weeks. They will be compared to patients receiving standard therapy with temozolomide in addition to radiation therapy.
To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of two different doses of istaroxime, a new agent with lusitropic and inotropic activities that improves the cardiac contraction-relaxation cycle. The 2 doses of istaroxime (0.5 and 1.0 µg/kg/min) will be infused via i. v. for 24 hours in comparison with placebo, in treatment of Chinese and Italian patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/ tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) relative to unchanged current antiretroviral therapy (ART) by assessing spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) measured at Week 48 in virologically-suppressed, HIV-1 infected participants aged ≥ 60 years.
