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 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (also known as T-DXd, DS-8201a), either alone or in combination with pertuzumab, in treating patients with Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer as a first line of treatment in the metastatic setting.
The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between the assumption of systemic medications (such as SSRI, PPI, anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-hypertensive drugs) and the failure of dental implant therapy in terms of occurrence peri-implantitis and/or implant failure. The clinical records of all subjects treated with dental implants during the period between January 1st, 2005, and December 31st, 2020 in the Dental Clinic of the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi (Milan, Italy) will be screened for inclusion. Inclusion criteria: i) subjects who were 18 years old or older at the time of intervention; ii) subjects who provided their informed consent for the intervention iii) patients with total or partial edentulism treated with dental implants; iv) patients with at least 6 months follow-up, beginning from the date of placement of the prosthesis. Exclusion criteria: i) incomplete data (e.g. absence of periapical radiographs) Descriptive statistics will be provided by means of mean values and standard deviations. Correlation between baseline parameters and outcomes will be provided through logistic regression. Survival tables and Kaplan-Meier analysis will be elaborated for survival analysis, considering the occurrence of implant failure and the diagnosis of peri-implantitis as events. Cox regression analysis will be used in order to evaluate the influence of the use of each drug on survival curves. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The sample size was calculated in order to evaluate the hazard risk of patients exposed to each specific drug (SSRI, PPI, Anti-inflammatory drugs or anti-hypertensive) compared to non-exposed patients. The ratio of exposed/non-exposed patients is expected to be 1:4 in the cohort. On the basis of a hypothesized 5-year incidence of peri-implantitis of 0.16, HR = 2, and a 10% dropout rate, the sample should be made of 358 subjects (72 exposed + 286 not exposed).
Non-ampullary sporadic duodenal adenomas (SDA) are rare lesions, incidentally discovered in up to only 5% of patients during routine endoscopy. In any case, these lesions require treatment due to their potential malignant transformation because of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, occurring in 30-85% of cases. Endoscopic resection (ER) of SDA represents an attractive alternative to surgical resection in appropriately selected patients, with lower morbidity and mortality rates. However, most endoscopists are not keen to resect larger lesions due to the risk of complications. Indeed, endoscopic resection in the duodenum has unique challenges: thin wall, high vascularity, very limited space and harmful effects of bile and acid both acting on the ER defect. Cold snare endoscopic resection has been shown to be a viable method for removing colorectal lesions with comparable efficacy outcomes compared to conventional polypectomy/endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and a promising safety profile. As a matter of fact, adverse events associated with hot snare resection technique such as delayed bleeding, post-polypectomy syndrome, and perforation are all related to electrocautery-induced injury. Performing cold snare piece-meal resection and avoiding the need of thermal therapy, may have a major impact in the duodenum where the risk of delayed bleeding and perforation is consistent. The aim of this pilot study is to prospectively evaluate the feasibility and the efficacy in term of safety and efficacy of cold snare endoscopic resection.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of Mavenclad® tablets, in terms of disease activity and safety, in participants with highly-active relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) previously participating in the MAGNIFY MS trial MS700568_0022 (NCT03364036).
For patients with breast cancer subject to a mastectomy, preserving the morphology of the breast with immediate reconstruction is a crucial aspect to preserve the quality of life. There are several types of breast reconstruction: prosthetic in one or two stages and autologous reconstruction. Adjuvant radiotherapy has shown an improvement of the overall survival and of the local control for patients with positive lymph nodes. Despite the undoubted cancer benefits, several studies have shown the negative impact of radiotherapy on breast reconstruction. However, there are few studies with a significant number that evaluate the effect of radiotherapy on the three types of reconstruction. In particular, given the extreme variability in clinical approaches, there is no certainty about the best reconstructive timing compared to radiotherapy, the iterations with dermic matrices as well as the usefulness of ancillary procedures such as autologous adipose grafting. The aim of this study is to compare retrospectively these three types of reconstruction techniques to evaluate the effect of radiotherapy on different reconstructive modes.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of tolvaptan in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, multicenter trial. Participants will be screened within 6 weeks prior to the Baseline (Day 1) Visit. Approximately 300 participants who meet the trial eligibility criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive HZN-825 300 mg QD, HZN-825 300 mg BID or placebo for 52 weeks. The trial will include up to a 42-day Screening Period and a 52-week Double-blind Treatment Period. Participants will take their first dose of trial drug at the clinic and will participate in trial visits at Week 4 and every 6 weeks thereafter until Week 52. All participants who complete the Double-blind Treatment Period (Week 52) will be eligible to enter a 52-week extension trial (HZNP-HZN-825-302, NCT05626751). Participants not entering the extension trial will participate in a Safety Follow-up Visit 4 weeks after the last dose of trial drug.
This study is an open-label split-mouth study in which periodontal patients will be treated in order to obtain periodontal health. After non-surgical therapy and air-perio polishing, a periodontal in-situ gelling product (Biorepair Implant Bioactive gel) will be applied in periodontal pockets in two quadrants (Q1-Q3 or Q2-Q4) of the mouth of the participants. At the same time, pockets of the contralateral quadrant will be irrigated with chlorhexidine gel 1%. Patients will continue to use gels at home for the following 14 days and on the same quadrants. Professional ora hygiene session will be performed after 1, 3 and 6 months from the baseline. Patients are divided into two groups with inverted quadrants administration in order to evaluate the improvements of periodontal inflammation indices and to assess the efficacy of Biorepair Implant Bioactive gel compared to chlorhexidine 1% gel treatment.
This is a translational no-profit study. Our proposal aims at creating a noninvasive Horizontal Data Integration (HDI) classifier for early diagnosis of breast cancer, with the final goal of avoiding in most cases useless biopsies of suspect cases encountered during radiological screening. Women with radiologically identified lesions, BIRADS-3/4/5, smaller than 2 cm by radiological assessment (i.e., radiological T1), will be enrolled and invited to donate peripheral blood samples (35 ml) and urine samples (50 ml). Radiological images as well as demographic and anatomopathological data will be collected. Objective of this project is to develop a HDI classifier enabling early noninvasive diagnosis of breast cancer with similar accuracy compared to breast biopsies. Such classifier will be developed based on the correlation between the molecular profile of peripheral blood (ctDNA, proteins, exosomes) and urine (ctDNA) collected at T0 (baseline, before diagnostic biopsy) and bioptic diagnosis. The assessment of the profile of peripheral blood (ctDNA, proteins, exosomes) and urine (ctDNA) at two time points for diagnosed pT1 breast cancers (T0: baseline, before biopsy; T1: after diagnosis of pT1 breast cancer) will allow us to distinguish between tumor- and host-specific molecular alterations in connection with the presence/absence of breast cancer.
