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.
IMPAHCT: Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial is a Phase 2b/Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AV-101 (dry powder inhaled imatinib) in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The Phase 2b part of the study will assess three doses to establish an optimal dose for the Phase 3 part of the study. The Phase 2b primary endpoint will be the placebo corrected change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). The Phase 3 primary endpoint will be the placebo corrected change in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) after 24 weeks of treatment.
This study is a multicentric randomized controlled trial comparing two groups of patients undergoing single or dual kidney transplantation from deceased donors. To reduce perioperative complications optimal fluid management is essential in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Heart rate, Medium Arterial Pressure (MAP), Central Venous Pressure (CVP), and urine output have been proposed in the literature to guide perioperative fluid therapy. These criteria are routinely applied in clinical practice; however these criteria have shown low sensitivity and poor predictive of postoperative complication, especially if used alone. The traditional approach in renal transplantation is the volume infusion guided whit CVP to the point of no further fluid responsiveness, but this can lead to excess fluid which can damage the endothelial glycocalyx and lead to organ failure for a fluid shift into the interstitial space. As a way to reduce postoperative complications in surgical patients, in recent years, several studies have examined Perioperative Goal Directed Therapy (PGDT) as fluid administration guided by optimization of preload with the use of algorithms based on fluids, inotropes and/or vasopressors to achieve a certain goal in stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI), or oxygen delivery (DO2). However results regarding the potential role of PGDT cannot be considered definitive, because the various studies on the subject have not all conformed to the same methods and have not uniformly applied the same measurements, so their results regarding the potential role of PGDT cannot be considered definitive. The aim of this work is to compare the effects of PGDT with conventional fluid therapy in patients undergoing kidney transplantation achievable through implementation of the non invasive monitoring.
An Open Label Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Odevixibat (A4250) in Patients with Alagille Syndrome (ASSERT-EXT)
The aim is to compare the effect of reducing the conventional pulse width or frequency of stimulation for axial symptoms occurring after Subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN DBS) treatment. The participants will be assessed with chronic stimulation with conventional stimulation parameters, namely 60 us and 130 Hz, and after random allocation to short pulse width (30 us) or low frequency (80 Hz).
This study is for women in menopause who have moderate to severe hot flashes. It is for women who are unable to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Menopause, a normal part of life, is the time after a woman's last period. Hot flashes often occur during menopause. They can disrupt a woman's daily life. The study medicines (also called investigational products, or IP) are tablets of fezolinetant or placebo. An investigational product means that the product is not yet licensed. In this study, a placebo is a dummy treatment that looks like fezolinetant but does not have any medicine in it. The study will compare fezolinetant with the placebo to learn if fezolinetant reduces the number and severity of hot flashes. Women that want to take part in the study will be given an electronic handheld device with an app to track their hot flashes. Some women may be able to use the app on their own smartphone. In the last 10 days before their next clinic visit, the women will record information about their hot flashes. They can take part in the study if they have an average of 7 or more moderate to severe hot flashes each day. Women will be picked for 1 of 2 treatments (fezolinetant or placebo) by chance alone. Women who take part in the study will take 2 tablets every day for 24 weeks. Treatment will be double-blinded. That means that the women in the study and the study doctors will not know who takes which of the study medicines (fezolinetant or placebo). The women will continue recording information about their hot flashes on the electronic device or their phone. They will also use another device to answer questions about how hot flashes affect their daily life. During the study, the women will visit their study clinic several times for a check-up. This will happen during Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 27. Some women may be able to have home visits instead, from Week 2 to Week 20. At the check-up, they will be asked if they have any medical problems. Other checks will include vital signs (heart rate, temperature and blood pressure) and some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. At some check-ups, the women will have a physical exam. In Week 2 and Week 24, the women will have an ECG to check their heart rhythm. Women who have a uterus will also have a test called a transvaginal ultrasound. A probe is gently placed inside the vagina. Sound waves will create a picture of the organs in the pelvis. This will allow the study doctor to look more closely at the uterus and surrounding organs. The last check-up (at Week 27) will be 3 weeks after they take their last tablets of study medicine (fezolinetant or placebo).

This is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of WVE-003 in adult patients with early-manifest HD who carry the targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) - SNP3.
HZNP-HZN-825-303 (HARBOR) comprises of 2 parts. Part 1 (Core Phase) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HZN-825 in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Part 2 (Extension Phase) is an optional, open-label, repeat-dose, multicenter extension of the Core Phase. The trial will include up to an 8-week Screening Period and a 52-week Double-blind Treatment Period in the Core Phase and 52 weeks of open-label HZN-825 treatment in the Extension Phase. During the Core Phase, participants will be screened within 8 weeks prior to the baseline (Day 1) Visit. Approximately 135 participants who meet the trial eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio on Day 1 to receive HZN-825 300 mg QD, HZN-825 300 mg BID or matching placebo orally for 52 weeks using the following 2 stratification factors: 1. Concomitant use of approved IPF therapy (i.e., nintedanib or pirfenidone): yes or no 2. Forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted at Baseline: ≥70% or <70% Participants who complete the 52-week Double blind Treatment Period of the Core Phase of the trial will be invited to extend their participation in the 52-week Extension Phase of the trial.
Surgical resection is curative for 75% of stage II and 50% of stage III colon cancer patients. The magnitude of benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) varies according to TNM stage and microsatellite status. Standard adjuvant chemotherapy includes fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin regimens for up to six months. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected after surgical resection reflects the presence of micrometastatic disease and pivotal observational studies addressed the prognostic value of ctDNA in the post-surgical setting. Adjuvant chemotherapy can promote the clearance of ctDNA, and ctDNA clearance after adjuvant chemotherapy is prognostic for better DFS in patients with stage III resected cancers and post-operative positive ctDNA. ctDNA may be investigated as a potential real-time surrogate biomarker of the efficacy of adjuvant therapy, but suggest that patients with ctDNA persistence after standard chemotherapy might be "molecularly metastatic" and may benefit from additional "consolidation" non-cross resistant strategies aimed at clearing micrometastatic disease. Temozolomide has modest but non-negligible activity (about 10%) in chemo-refractory patients with MGMT methylated mCRC. The response rate to temozolomide-based therapy in pretreated patients is increased to up to 20% when restricting the focus on those with MGMT IHC-negative/MGMT methylated and MSS cancers Significant activity (ORR 26%) and favorable safety profile were reported by the combination of temozolomide and irinotecan (TEMIRI regimen) in patients with pretreated MGMT methylated/MSS mCRC, thus suggesting that the two agents may have synergist activity in line with preclinical data. Based on all these considerations, there is a strong rationale for investigating TEMIRI regimen as consolidation non-cross resistant therapy in a liquid-biopsy driven interventional trial. Eligible patients with MGMT-silenced, MSS, radically resected CRC and detectable ctDNA after standard chemotherapy will be enrolled and will receive 6-month post-adjuvant/consolidation TEMIRI (given for up to 6 monthly cycles).
This clinical trial is a Phase 2/3 study that will determine the recommended dose of mitapivat and evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in sickle cell disease by testing how well mitapivat works compared to placebo to increase the amount of hemoglobin in the blood and to reduce or prevent the occurrence of sickle cell pain crises. In addition, the long-term effect of mitapivat on efficacy and safety will be explored in an open-label extension portion.
