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 immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' Infanrix hexa, given in the primary vaccination schedule to infants born to pregnant women who participated in study 116945 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-047]. This study will help us evaluate if the presence of transplacentally transferred maternal antibodies interfere with the immune response to primary vaccination with Infanrix hexa and a co-administered pneumococcal conjugate vaccine given as a part of this study in infants.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or 'wheat sensitivity' (NCWS) is included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders. No data are available on the prevalence of oral lesions in NCWS. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of oral lesions in NCWS patients and search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. This prospective observation study will include 90 NCWS patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)- like symptoms, 90 IBS and 90 celiac controls. Patients will be recruited at the Internal Medicine and at the Gastroenterology Units of the University of Palermo. Elimination diet and double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) wheat challenge proved the NCWS diagnosis. All subjects underwent oral examination to assess the presence or not of oral soft and hard tissue lesions potentially associated to NCWS and CD.
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or 'wheat sensitivity' (NCWS) is included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders. No data are available on the prevalence of low bone mass density (BMD) in NCWS. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition in NCWS patients and search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. This prospective observation study will include 90 NCWS patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, 90 IBS and 90 celiac controls. Patients will be recruited at the Internal Medicine and at the Gastroenterology Units of the University of Palermo. Elimination diet and double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) wheat challenge proved the NCWS diagnosis. All subjects underwent nutritional parameters measurement, duodenal histology, Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) DQ typing and body mass index (BMI) evaluation.

Our primary hypothesis is that a two weeks high-intensity task-oriented circuit training followed by a structured 3 months home exercise program would have higher benefits compared to a delayed-treatment group as control in people with multiple sclerosis and mild to moderate gait impairment. Our secondary hypothesis is that there could be retention of clinical gains in subjects that underwent TOCT plus structured 3 months home exercise program.
Gait disabilities affect personal activities and quality of life of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. A robot-driven gait orthosis allowing a more effective support of walking movements and imitation of a nearly normal gait pattern during treadmill training at a higher speed has been developed and recently introduced in clinical settings. However, until now few studies evaluated the effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) in a group of stroke, spinal cord injury and MS subjects. In addition, the training-induced neural and biological changes potentially related to the mechanisms of recovery remain undefined. The primary aims of this study are: to test the feasibility of RAGT in a group of progressive severely disabled MS patients and to test the hypothesis that this intensive intervention could have higher benefit, compared with conventional therapy alone, in mobility improvement as assessed by the Timed 25 Foot Walk (T25FW) The secondary aims of this study are: to determine whether fatigue, Quality of life, balance and locomotor function are improved by RAGT; to determine whether gait training influences markers of plasticity including clinical and circulating biomarkers to search for a possible correlation between clinical outcomes and clinical and circulating biomarkers
This Phase 3 study was intended to demonstrate superiority of either Sotagliflozin high dose or low dose versus placebo on glycosylated hemoglobin A1C (A1C) reduction at Week 24 when used as an adjunct in adult participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) who have inadequate glycemic control with insulin therapy.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased fracture risk despite normal to increased bone mass, thus suggesting poor bone quality. This study is aimed at weighing the effect of an exercise intervention program on parameters of bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Two hundred patients with T2DM will be randomized to supervised exercise training on top of standard care (exercise, EXE, group; n=100) versus standard care (control, CON, group; n=100) for 24 months.
This multi-center, randomized, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sunitinib in participants with inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic RCC who have not received prior systemic active or experimental therapy, either in the adjuvant or metastatic setting.
A multi-center, retrospective study of cases of serious bacterial infections including complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) or Acute Pyelonephritis (AP), Hospital Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP), Ventilator Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP), and/or bacteremia caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
