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.

PREG2 is a randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate efficacy in preventing intrauterine adhesion recurrence after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis of a novel intrauterine barrier film named Womed Leaf
Self-management strategies for asthma, including patients engagement and adherence to personalised action plans with advice on recognizing and responding to deterioration in control with effective treatments can improve asthma outcomes and possibly reduce the risk of future exacerbations. However, the real-life evidence is that asthma control remains sub-optimal in the majority of cases, thus increasing the related socio-economic costs worldwide. Because an increased variability of lung function remains a hallmark of poor asthma control and exacerbations, its assessment over time could contribute to the success of self-management plans. Previous studies have shown the potential of Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) as a tool for monitoring increased variability of airway obstruction and for identifying the onset of acute deterioration of airway function. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that a personalised self-management plan including FOT improves asthma control and reduces number of days with increased symptoms compared to conventional asthma treatment.
Frailty is a multidimensional condition due to reserve loss leading to physical and cognitive impairment that is very common in older adults; in fact, its incidence increases with age. Frail older adults present a high risk of adverse events such as disability, hospitalization and mortality. It is very important to check comorbidities and complications to reduce the incidence of cognitive and physical impairment.
This study aims to investigate the effects of daily consumption for 4 weeks of a probiotic durum wheat pasta vs a conventional durum wheat pasta without probiotics on fasting metabolic parameters and inflammatory status, on gut permeability and functionality, on daily energy intakes, appetite feelings, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, blood pressure, body composition and wellbeing status in overweight and obese subjects.
This is a Phase III, global, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study evaluating the efficacy and safety of adjuvant giredestrant compared with endocrine therapy of physician's choice in participants with medium- and high-risk Stage I-III histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer. In addition, an open-label exploratory substudy will explore the safety and efficacy of giredestrant in combination with abemaciclib in a subset of the primary study population.
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study will focus on participants who have active disease and are already taking standard of care medications. These may include antimalarials, steroids, and immunosuppressants. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect litifilimab has on lowering the activity of the disease. The main question researchers want to answer is: - How many participants have an improvement in their symptoms after 52 weeks of treatment? Researchers will answer this and other questions by measuring the symptoms of SLE over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the SLE Responder Index (SRI), the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K), and the Patient Global Assessment - Visual Analog Scale (PGA-VAS). Researchers will also learn more about the safety of litifilimab. They will study how participants' immune systems respond to litifilimab. Additionally, they will measure the effect litifilimab and SLE have on the quality of life of participants using a group of questionnaires. The study will be done as follows: - After screening, participants will be randomized to receive either a high or low dose of litifilimab, or placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - All participants will receive either litifilimab or placebo as injections under the skin once every 4 weeks. The treatment period will last 52 weeks. Participants will continue to take their standard of care medications. - Neither the researchers nor the participants will know if the participants are receiving litifilimab or placebo. - There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts up to 24 weeks. - In total, participants will have up to 22 study visits. The total study duration for participants will be up to 80 weeks.
VOICE project aims to guide health services in their reorganization towards the provision of the highest value care for the patient at the best cost. VOICE is targeted to patients with breast and lung cancer. The purpose is to offer a new innovative strategic framework based on value-based healthcare model to these patients in Europe. VOICE Community consists of 13 hospitals across Europe working collaboratively to implement this approach. The Community addresses what matters most to patients by measuring patient reported health outcomes in routine clinical practice on a systematic and long-term basis, by including patients´ perspective in clinical decision-making, improving patient empowerment and physician-patient communication, assessing the impact on costs of the processes implemented, identifying factors for a successful implementation of value-based healthcare and boosting knowledge generation and best practice exchange across Europe. The VOICE ambition is to collect the health-related Quality of Life evidence from more than 1000 patients (patients with breast cancer and patients with lung cancer), by means of health related and patient reported questionnaires (ICHOM, International Consortium for Health Outcome Measurements, standard sets). Hospitals will go further by assessing the satisfaction, acceptability, relationship with professionals or decision-making process with patients. The VOICE Community will benchmark health outcomes and related costs to improve care delivery of these patients.
A global phase 3, multicenter, randomized, trial, to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Durvalumab in combination with Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab in combination with Enfortumab vedotin for Perioperative Treatment in Patients Ineligible for Cisplatin or who refuse Cisplantin Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. The goal of the study is to explore the triplet combination of Durvalumab, Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin in terms of efficacy and safety compared to the current Standard Of Care (SOC). Volga trial consists of two parts: Safety Run-In and Main Study. In total the study aims to enroll approximately 830 patients, who will receive triplet combination, duplet combination of Durvalumab and Enfortumab vedotin or currently approved SOC in the main trial. In the main part of the trial there is two out of three chances of being on a treatment arm and the treatment is assigned at random by a computer system. In this trial patients in the two treatment arms will receive either 3 cycles of neoadjuvant Durvalumab + Tremelimumab + Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab + Enfortumab vedotin and after surgery both treatment arms will continue with adjuvant Durvalumab.
The innovative aspect of this research is the possibility of combining the data collected with radiostereometric model based Radiostereometry with the data collected through the Galeazzi Institute Registry.This opens the prospect of an earlier identification of patients undergoing prosthetic knee replacement with initial aseptic loosening.
