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 objective of this extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of treatment with DE-109 (440 μg) in subjects with non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment of the eye who have participated in the SAKURA development program.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 or 24 weeks in adults with chronic genotype 1 or genotype 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have had a kidney transplant.
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate and describe the long term safety of tolvaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost sustained-release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The study includes a 12-month treatment period with an 8-month extended follow-up.
Evaluate the percentage of patients optimized at least once every month by the SonR automatic optimization method, until M6 follow-up, in Heart failure (HF) patients prevalently in sinus rhythm
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of second/third-line treatment with nab-paclitaxel in combination with the epigenetic modifying therapy of CC-486 or immunotherapy of durvalumab, and nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The management of patients with uterine leiomyosarcomas poses many difficulties. Despite 60% of women present with disease limited to the uterus, cure rates range from 20 to 60%. Patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis or who recur after initial treatment have a dismal prognosis and, except for a subset of selected patients with completely resectable disease, the median survival is less than one year. Treatment options for recurrent/metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma are limited. The most active drugs are doxorubicin ± ifosfamide and gemcitabine + docetaxel (GD) with response rate of 25-55% and 27-53%, respectively. Both these regimens have been increasingly used in the last years also in the adjuvant setting. For relapsed patients other drugs have been tested as single agent but negligible activity was observed. Trabectedin (Yondelis® -T) is a marine-derived cytotoxic approved by EMEA. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, after failure of anthracyclines and ifosfamide or who are unsuitable to receive these agents. Among STS, activity has been mainly detected in synovial sarcoma, liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Although the response rate did not exceed 10%, T was demonstrated to provide disease control, with progression arrest rates exceeding 50% and progression-free survival rates exceeding 20% at 6 months. So far no phase II studies tested the activity of T in uterine leiomyosarcoma specifically. This study is aimed at evaluating the activity of T (arm A) in advanced uterine leiomyosarcomas, having GD (arm B) as an internal control In parallel translational studies will be performed to identify factors predictive of the activity of T in this specific histotype.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-based reaction to dietary gluten (storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye) that primarily affects the small intestine in genetically predisposed patients and resolves with exclusion of gluten from the diet. Patients with CD show circulating autoantibodies (anti-transglutaminase, anti-tTG) and suffer from the destruction of a specific tissue cell type (the enterocytes) by CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, other autoimmune diseases have been reported in association to CD in 20-30% of the cases. In the last few year, a new clinical entity emerged, which seems include patients who consider themselves to be suffering from problems caused by wheat and/or gluten ingestion, even though they do not have CD or wheat allergy. This clinical condition has been named "Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity" (6), but, in a recent paper, the investigators suggested the term "Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity" (NCWS), since, to date, it is not known what component of wheat really causes the symptoms. The doubt areas about the NCWS regard also its pathogenesis as, despite some papers evidenced an intestinal immunologic activation, others excluded it. To explore the presence of autoimmunity in NCWS, the investigators evaluated: a) the frequency of autoimmune diseases and b) the frequency of serum anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) positivity in newly diagnosed NCWS, compared to CD patients.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate, in obese and hypogonadal patients eligible for bariatric surgery, the effect of testosterone replacement therapy in improving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) assessed using the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) questionnaire, compared to hypogonadal untreated subjects and eugonadal subjects.
