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.
Dinamic intrinsic PEEP is
The purpose the study is to measure the effect of nivolumab (BMS-936558) in reducing tumor size in subjects with metastatic or unresectable bladder cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety outcomes following short-term exposure to rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 versus standard neonatal care in Study ROPP-2008-01 (NCT01096784).
In Italy, life expectancy at birth has reached 80 years in men and 85 in women; in about 50 years, life expectancy at the age of 80 has increased by an extraordinary 61% and 55%, respectively, due to more effective therapies and lower mortality of many diseases. Yet, chronic diseases are nowadays more important, and often coexist as comorbidity or multimorbidity, depending on whether an index condition has been considered. These conditions increase the risk of death and reduce functional autonomy in the elderly and, therefore, should be carefully considered within comprehensive geriatric assessment. The epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, as demonstrated among others by the Oxford Vascular Study, shows a clear trend in age-dependent, as the number of events and their incidence increases with age, and about half are concentrates over 75 years. In addition, some observational studies in elderly patients have suggested an association between frailty and cardiovascular disease: fragility and cardiovascular disease share a common biological pathway, and cardiovascular diseases may accelerate the onset of frailty. The frailty syndrome was identified in 25% to 50% of patients with cardiovascular disease, according to the rating scale used and the population studied. Frail patients with cardiovascular disease, in particular those undergoing invasive procedures or suffering from coronary artery disease and aortic valve disease, have a much higher adverse events and complications, suggesting the need for a more accurate functional stratification and a more careful evaluation of the risk/benefit ratio of some invasive procedures. Among the numerous tests proposed in the literature for the functional evaluation and objective measures of physical capability in elderly patient, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the evaluation of hand grip strength (grip strength) are those characterized by an improved prognostic ability and an easy administration. The present study is performed to assess if SPPB and handgrip are helpful to better stratify the prognosis (all-causes death and hospital admission for all causes) in elderly patients admitted to hospital for cardiac causes.
The purpose of the registry is to collect information regarding the number and type of coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgical procedure changes that are made based on intraoperative guidance information using transit time flow measurements (TTFM) and ultrasound image capabilities provided with the Medistim device.
The aim of the study is to compare the time of home discharge in day-case patients receiving either a spinal anesthesia or a combined sciatic-femoral nerve block for knee arthroscopy
The aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of SD-101-6.0 cream versus Placebo (SD-101-0.0) cream in the treatment of skin lesions in participants with Epidermolysis Bullosa. Funding Source - United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD).
Phase II study to investigate the antitumor activity in terms of objective response rate (ORR) of tipifarnib in subjects with advanced tumors that carry HRAS mutations and for whom there is no standard curative therapy available. Note; Only cohort 2 (Head & Neck SCC) and cohort 3 (Other SCC) are currently open
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-comparator, parallel-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab compared with MMF in participants with moderate-to-severely active PV requiring 60-120 milligrams per day (mg/day) oral prednisone or equivalent. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of PV within the previous 24 months (by skin or mucosal biopsy and immunohistochemistry) and evidence of active disease at screening. Approximately 135 participants will be enrolled at up to 60 centers worldwide. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either rituximab plus MMF placebo or rituximab placebo plus MMF. Randomization will be stratified by duration of illness. The study will consist of three periods: a screening period of up to 28 days, a 52-week double-blind treatment period, and a 48-week safety follow up period that begins at the time of study treatment completion or discontinuation.
This study aims to understand better the effective results from the IMELDA MO22223 P-trial (NCT00929240) and see if the anti-cancer therapies given during its follow-up time after study treatments were terminated possibly had an effect on efficacy results.
