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.
Aim of the study was to evaluate by instrumental measurements the depigmenting activity of a cosmetic treatment for spotted hand skin; in particular it was investigated the synergic activity of an emulsion, with clarifying-antioxidant activity combined with an activator gel, with hydration and keratolytic activity. Female healthy volunteers aged 45-65 years old, presenting senile lentigo on the hands, were included in the study. It was also aim of this study to evaluate treatment efficacy and cosmetic acceptability by the volunteers and tolerance both by investigator and volunteers.
This protocol is a phase I/II multicenter study designed to assess the safety and the efficacy of the proposed combinations as up-front treatment in elderly Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients.
The most frequent diseases caused by wheat ingestion are T cell-mediated disorders, i.e. celiac disease and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions. However, besides celiac disease and wheat allergy, there are cases of gluten reactions in which neither autoimmune nor IgE-mediated allergic mechanisms are involved. These are generally defined as GS or Not-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS). Typically, NCWS diagnosis is made by exclusion, and an elimination diet and an "open challenge" (i.e., the monitored reintroduction of gluten-containing foods) are most often used to evaluate whether health improves or worsen with the elimination or reintroduction of gluten in the diet, respectively. In some circumstances, it is very difficult to distinguish between NCWS and celiac disease. The presence of positive celiac disease specific serum antibodies (anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG), and anti-endomysium (EmAs) antibodies) is of paramount importance to pose the diagnosis. However, it is well known that the frequency of a positive serology is dependent by the severity of the intestinal damage. Consequently, patients with less severe histology damage (Marsh 1) can have negative serum antibodies. Previous studies had demonstrated that EmAs are produced by the intestinal lymphocytes and previous data from our group showed that EmAs assay in the culture medium of the intestinal biopsies has higher diagnostic accuracy than serum EmAs in diagnosis. Therefore, the aims of our study are to evaluate the clinical-serologic-histology course of NCWS patients, showing positive EmAs assay in the culture medium of the duodenal biopsies at the time of the first evaluation, and the adherence to a gluten-free diet in NCWS patients after a previous full evaluation and a NCWS diagnosis based on double-blinded placebo-controlled (DBPC) challenge.
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks with that of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment regimen in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in adults with chronic genotype 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to prove that luteal phase supplementation with recombinant LH can solve the luteal phase deficiency after Gnrh agonist oocytes triggering in women at risk of OHSS
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BAY1841788 (ODM-201) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The aim of the study is determining the non-inferiority in the overall success rate and the safety for a combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine plus low dose glucocorticoids compared to that for high dose glucocorticoids at 3 and 9 months in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
This prospective pilot study of 40 pediatric patients with Crohn's Disease, that are candidates for endoscopic and imaging re-evaluation, examines the Given Diagnostic System and the second generation of colon capsule in comparison second generation of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE-2) to magnetic resonance enterography (MRE), small intestine contrast ultrasonography (SICUS) and endoscopy (upper and lower). This study aims 1. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of CCE-2 with MRE, SICUS and endoscopy in the evaluation of pediatric Crohn's disease. 2. To evaluate the safety of CCE-2 in pediatric CD.
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the association between residual disease activity at Baseline as detected by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the occurrence of flares in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) randomized to an adalimumab dose tapering regimen controlled by adalimumab withdrawal.
