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 trial is open to all patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) who are PCR-positive for the PML-RARα transcript and less than 18 years of age.
Liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for acute and chronic end-stage liver disease. Neurally Adjusted Ventilator Assist (NAVA) may be a feasible solution to guide the liberation from mechanical ventilation reducing asynchronies between patient and ventilator, and optimizing ventilator cycling. Cardiovascular and respiratory effects during NAVA ventilation are very limited after major abdominal surgery. The purpose of this application is to explore the efficacy of NAVA to reduce the asynchronies between the ventilator and pediatric patient admitted in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) after major abdominal surgery, and the relationship between an optimal level of NAVA and cardiac and pulmonary function.
Post-operative loco-regional (LR) hypofractionated radiotherapy (Hypo-RT) is an attractive approach in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).
In this pilot observational study the primary outcome is to assess, in a Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit, if there is an association between sarcopenia, assessed by handgrip strenght and BIA, and a delayed decannulation time in patients who underwent tracheostomy. Secondary outcomes are to assess if there is an association between an increased malnutrition risk (assessed by MUST), a poor nutritional status (assessed by GLIM criteria) and a delayed decannulation time and the gut microbiota composition.
Multicenter Study assessing the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of the candidate vaccine GRAd-COV2, compared to placebo, for the prevention of COVID-19. Participants will be adults ≥ 18 years of age who are healthy or have medically stable chronic diseases and are at increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 acquisition and COVID-19. In the phase II part approximately 900 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive i) 2 repeated (21 days apart) intramuscular (IM) doses of GRAd-COV2 at 1x10^11 viral particle (vp) (n = approximately 300 subjects) ii) 1 single IM dose of GRAd-COV2 at 2x10^11 vp plus 1 dose of placebo after 21 days (n= approximately 300 subject) or 2 doses of placebo (n = approximately 300 subjects) on day 1 and day 22. There will be 3 strata for randomization: ≥ 65 years, < 65 years and categorized to be at increased risk ("at risk") for the complications of COVID-19, and < 65 years "not at risk". Risk will be defined referring to the study participants' relevant past and current medical history. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board will provide oversight, to ensure safe and ethical conduct of the Study; a Steering Committee will revise safety data (collected for 900 participants 1 week after dosing) and immunogenicity data (collected for 450 participants 5 weeks after the first dosing) generated in phase II part. Jointly DSMB and SC will recommend the expansion to phase III and the best regimen to be used.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of RO7049665 on time to relapse following forced corticosteroid (CCS) tapering as measured by the hazard ratio between RO7049665 7.5 milligrams (mg) and placebo arm.
This Phase Ib, open-label, multicenter study evaluates the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of venetoclax in combination with Pola + R-CHP in previously untreated participants with BCL-2 IHC-positive DLBCL. Approximately 50 participants will be enrolled in this study in five consecutive cohorts each consisting of approximately 10 participants.
Periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease have been associated by meta-epidemiologic evidence, although their mechanistic connection needs to be further explored. Oral-gut axis is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory conditions, but to date no studies have evaluated the impact of periodontal treatment on gut ecology. Thus, the present randomised clinical trial is aimed at investigating the effect of intensive or conventional periodontal therapy on the gut microbiome and parameters of systemic inflammation of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease.
The rationale behind the purpose of this study lays on: - the evidence that PRRT could represent a valuable treatment for the majority of patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in disease progression, operated or inoperable, presenting lesions expressing somatostatin receptors and for which standard treatments are not already available; - the current impossibility of acquiring on the market radiolabelled analogues of somatostatin used for PRRT with marketing authorisation; - the need to collect a larger case history than in previous studies; - the need to stratify the various histotypes based on the response obtained; - the need to define new treatment schemes that guarantee the maximum efficacy and the lowest possible toxicity - with low cumulative (and per cycle) activities radiopharmaceutical and according to the concept of dose hyperfractionation - with a view to an optimal balance between risk and benefit.
In this phase III study, the primary objective is to test with a one-sided significance of 5% whether for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients, brain MRI surveillance alone is non-inferior in terms of overall survival compared to prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) combined with brain MRI surveillance in the entire study population.
