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 aim of this prospective study is to assess the prognostic value of bioactive plasma adrenomedullin (ADM) in 600 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in an international multicenter study and to validate the findings concerning the association of ADM concentration and the use of vasopressor therapy, organ failure and outcome.
A study to assess safety and efficacy of evolocumab (AMG-145) in paediatric subjects aged 10-17 years diagnosed with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor (IVA, VX-770) and IVA monotherapy in participants with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for F508del-CFTR allele and a second allele with a CFTR mutation predicted to have residual function.
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of insulin degludec (Tresiba®) in a real world population with type 1 (T1DM) and 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus.
Major hepatectomies are generally selected for tumors involving the hepatic vein (HV) at the caval confluence (CC). As alternative, HV reconstruction has been proposed. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a HV-sparing policy guided by intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) in a cohort of patients having at least one colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) in contact with a HV at CC. HV section can be avoided in the large majority of cases thanking to CLMs detachment or to HV partial resection or reconstruction: this policy seems feasible, safe, reduces the need of major hepatectomies, and oncologically provides an adequate local control.
To assess the potential efficacy (in terms of objective response) of single agent copanlisib in patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and assess the relationship between efficacy and a potentially predictive biomarker
The objective of the study is to assess the incidence of safety outcomes in patients treated with Pipeline™ Flex embolization device with Shield Technology™.
The primary objectives of the study are: -To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe active Crohn's Disease（CD）
A novel method (PCT n. WO 2010/007502 A2, 2010) has been developed to obtain platelet gel from umbilical cord blood (CBPG). The main advantages so far identified in CBPG as compared to platelet gel derived from adult platelets relate to the lack of microbiological contamination in the former and to a different profile of growth factors concentrations, such as a higher content of VEGF and lower content of TGF in CBPG. Recent developments have led to a procedure in which CBPG can be prepared, stored in a cryopreservation bag and applied to the skin ulcer without breaking the sterility chain. In spite of promising results on allogeneic CBPG, a randomized clinical trial of sufficient statistical power to detect significant advantages (clinical and economical) will be performed in patients affected by diabetic foot ulcers and randomly treated with CBPG versus standard local medications (SLM).This study is a multicenter (8 centers) controlled randomized clinical trial. Outcomes: (1) primary objective is to evaluate the number of closed skin ulcers within 4 weeks of treatment with CBPG vs standard local medications; (2) secondary objectives are percent skin ulcer closure area, number and type of adverse events and cost of treatment. Sample size calculation: 95 + 5 (dropout) test and 95 + 5 (dropout) control patients ensure 80% power to detect as statistically significant (p<0.05) >60% healing in test vs 40% healing in control.Each clinical centre has been invited to enrol 15 treated and 15 control patients, according to local availability in 12 months. CB units are routinely collected after mother's informed consent before and after placenta delivery in accredited public cord blood banks belonging to the Italian Cord Blood Network (ITCBN) coordinated by the Centro Nazionale Sangue (CNS). After storage and transportation at monitored room temperature, the units will be processed for the preparation of CBPG within 48 hours of collection. CBPG will be prepared according to standard procedures with a defined final platelet concentration (0.8-1.2 x 109/L). The CBPC units will be finally cryopreserved in a -80°C freezer in view of the clinical use of the CBPG, which will require thawing at 37°C in a waterbath and activation with Calcium gluconate. For SLM, each clinical center will use their validated standard procedures.
