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 primary objective of Part 1 of this study is to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on disability improvement over 72 weeks. The primary objective of Part 2 of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in participants with MS. The secondary objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the effects of BIIB033 versus placebo on additional measures of disability improvement. The secondary objective of Part 2 is to investigate long-term efficacy (disability improvement) and additional safety measures of BIIB033 as an add-on therapy in participants with MS.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a life-long inflammatory bowel disease disease with an unknown pathogenesis. The ultimate goal of therapy is to modify the natural history of CD thus reducing complications. Thalidomide is a small molecule with immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenetic properties. It is currently approved for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum, an immunological complication of leprosy and multiple myeloma. It has also been used in several other inflammatory diseases of the skin and of the mucosal membranes, such as Behcet disease, oropharyngeal ulcers in AIDS, cutaneous lupus, and graft versus host disease. Many case series and one pediatric randomized controlled trial proved the efficacy of thalidomide in the treatment of children with CD refractory to standard treatments. In these patients, clinical remission was achieved in about 50% of the cases and was maintained for a mean time superior of 3 years. Mucosal healing after 52 weeks of treatment was observed in 40% of the patients in clinical remission. Moreover, thalidomide was found to have a steroid-sparing effect and to decrease the need for surgical interventions. The clinical and endoscopic efficacy of thalidomide was also observed in children with failure to respond or intolerance to anti-TNF biological drugs. The aim of this multicentric prospective randomized controlled is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide vs infliximab in changing the natural history of CD in patients with poor prognostic outcome. Moreover, the study will evaluate the immunological and genetical mechanisms of CD, the mechanisms of action thalidomide in CD and will the pharmacokinetics, metabolomics and pharmacogenomics of thalidomide, and their impact on thalidomide safety and effectiveness.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 14-day course versus a 28-day course of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI) in pediatric participants with new onset Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory tract infection or colonization.
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common disabling condition in Parkinson's disease (PD), causes falls, and impairs quality of life. Therapeutic options for this symptom are limited and of limited efficacy. Besides, the pathophysiology has been not clarified yet. Proprioceptive sensitivity is likely to play a role and recent studies have reported that high-frequency microfocal vibratory stimulation exert a modulatory effect of proprioceptive reflex circuits and could be considered a valuable treatment strategy. However, evidence is not available. The present study was designed to collect preliminary evidence of efficacy of a vibrotactile device (Equistasi) for the treatment of FOG.
The aim of the study is to assess the tolerability, efficacy and safety of a new lithium sulphate prolonged release formulation (Lithiofor®) in patients affected by Bipolar Disorder poor tolerant to lithium immediate-release treatment in terms of lithium-induced tremor when switched from therapy with a lithium carbonate immediate release formulation (Carbolithium®) to a new lithium sulphate prolonged release formulation (Lithiofor®).
The purpose of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIR178 in combination with PDR001 in multiple solid tumors and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and further explore schedule variations of NIR178 to optimize immune activation through inhibition of A2aR.
In patients with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), bacterial fragments leak from the gut into the blood and cause harm. This study looks into a new way to lower the leakage of bacterial fragments into the blood. Yaq-001 is a new type of carbon that in previous laboratory studies has been shown to have the ability to bind these bacterial fragments and so confine them to the gut. The purpose of this clinical trial is to test the product Yaq-001 for the first time in patients with cirrhosis. This trial will assess if the treatment with Yaq-001 is safe, is well tolerated, and if it helps improve the overall health status of the cirrhotic patients. Candidate patients must be at least 18 years old and have a clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis for any cause. Only postmenopausal women or with surgical sterilisation are eligible. Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria of medical nature will be determined with the investigator at the screening visit, by means of standard care routines plus an additional test to assess the bowel transit time. Eligible patients will be randomly grouped to receive standard care treatment plus Yaq-001, or standard treatment plus placebo (non-active treatment). The use of placebo is necessary to better understand how safe and tolerable Yaq-001 really is. The treatment lasts for 12 weeks. During treatment, the patient will be visited by a study doctor 5 times. At all the visits the patients will undergo a routine physical examination, electrocardiogram, collection of blood and urine samples. On three occasions the patients will be asked to provide additional samples of blood, urine and stool for analysis outside the hospital. 56 patients from 9 hospitals in UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland will participate in this study.
Primary Objectives: Dose escalation (Part 1) Part 1A (SAR439459 monotherapy) - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or maximum administered dose (MAD) of SAR439459 when administered intravenously as monotherapy in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. Part 1B (SAR439459 and cemiplimab combination therapy) - To determine the MTD and/or MAD of SAR439459 administered intravenously in combination with cemiplimab administered intravenously in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. Dose expansion (Part 2) Part 2A (SAR439459 monotherapy) - To determine optimal dose of SAR439459 administered intravenously in adult patients with advanced melanoma who have failed a prior therapy based on anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death-1) or anti-PD-L1. Part 2B (SAR439459 and cemiplimab combination therapy) - To determine the objective response rate (ORR) of SAR439459 in combination with cemiplimab in adult patients with selected advanced solid tumors by evaluation of antitumor response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).

This is an EU sponsored trial and independent of the US trial registered under Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02009644. The purpose of this registry is to gather clinical data on the safety and performance of the TREO Stent-Graft in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The registry is part of TREO's EU post-market surveillance plan providing long-term systematic clinical follow-up.
This randomized, controlled, prospective, crossover, open-label, two-treatments, two-period trial aimed to evaluate the preference expressed by the patient concerning the subcutaneous administration of progesterone versus the vaginal one. The couples, scheduled for performing 2 In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) cycles will be randomized to receive, as luteal phase supplementation, Pleyris 25 milligram (mg) (a single subcutaneous administration per day) or Prometrium 200 mg (3 vaginal administrations per day).
