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 primary objective of the study is to compare Trans-Perineal Laser Ablation of Prostate versus Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate in the immediate impact on post-operative pain; in terms of relief in benign prostatic obstruction and preservation of the ejaculatory function in the short term (at 1, 3 and 6 months). The secondary objective of the study is the evaluation of the long-term deobstructive effectiveness (12 months).
The aim of the study is to define the clinical and biochemical parameters that characterize COVID-19 patients with a negative prognostic evolution. Our clinical score will be capable to recognize patient with favorable prognosis or patient with poor prognosis by statistical data analysis.
This online-based, observational retrospective registry aims to (i) study the rate of cardiovascular events, encompassing venous thromboembolic and arterial events, in consecutive hospitalized patients with coronavirus (Covid19), (ii) investigate the prevalent use of thromboprophylaxis, (iii) describe the use of imaging tests for the detection of cardiovascular events in patients with Covid19. This will also facilitate and constitute the basis for the conduction of interventional thromboprophylaxis studies in patients with Covid19.
The study aims to retrospectively investigate the endoscopic resection procedures of cancerous and precancerous lesions of the upper and lower digestive tract in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes and to compare different resection techniques. In particular, the resection techniques investigated will be mucosectomy, en bloc and piecemeal, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and its variants, full-thickness resection. The anatomical districts involved will be the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon and rectum.
This is a phase 2 study in which subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will receive VIR-7831 (Sotrovimab) Generation 1 (Gen1) or VIR-7831 (Sotrovimab) Generation 2 (Gen2) and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.
A new coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) appeared in Wuhan, China and it arrived to Europe 2-3 months later. It infected millions of persons and led to the death of thousands until May 2020 where numbers of infections per week decreased significantly. However, starting September, number of infections started to escalate again and continued to rise until now. Hundreds of good quality articles were published during this period to study the relationship and effects of this virus on pregnancy and vice versa, as well as to determine the adverse neonatal and obstetrical outcomes following the infection. In a case-control study using propensity score matching at the level of age, body mass index and comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, asthma), pregnant women over 20 week's gestation had significantly higher risk for intensive care unit stay, endotracheal intubation, hospitalization for disease related symptoms and need for oxygen therapy. A new systematic review also demonstrated increased risk for ICU admission in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women and to non-infected pregnant women. On the other hand, many researchers have demonstrated that the rates of preterm delivery and cesarean delivery have increased as well, others reported a close relation between SARS-CoV2 infection and preeclampsia or preeclampsia like condition. Enormous effort was done in order to understand adverse outcomes related to this infection, however, most studies included patients in the third or late second trimester. Few studies stratified adverse outcomes of the patients according to the trimester of infection.
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe Crohn's disease will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with the vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no signs of inflammation. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive either a high dose or low dose of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. The study is also evaluating side effects of vedolizumab in the children and teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
The ability to walk independently is a primary goal when rehabilitating an individual with Parkinson Disease (PD). Indeed, PD patients display a flexed posture that coupled with an excessive joint stiffness lead to a poor walking mechanics that increase their risk of falls. Although studies have already shown the many benefits of robotic-assisted gait training in PD patients, research focusing on optimal rehabilitation methods has been directed towards powered lower-limb exoskeleton. Combining the advantages delivered from the grounded devices with the ability to train in a real-world environment, these systems provide a greater level of subject participation and increase subject's functional abilities while the wearable robotic system guarantees less support. The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the effects of an Over-ground Wearable Exoskeleton Training (OWET) on gait impairments in comparison with a multidisciplinary intensive rehabilitation treatment. As gait is a complex task that involves both central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS), targeted rehabilitation must restore not only gait mechanics (ST parameters) but also physiological gait pattern (joint kinematics and dynamics). To this aim the impact of OWET on both CNS and PNS will be evaluated. Thus, a quantitative assessment of an individual's gait and neuromuscular function to robustly evaluate recovery of altered sensorimotor function at both the PNS and CNS is proposed. To this aim, comprehensive GA (spatiotemporal (ST) parameter, joint kinematics, joint stiffness) and electromyography (EMG) will be combined to determine PNS improvements, and fMRI with EEG will be used to assess CNS improvements.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of the study drugs, magrolimab in combination with azacitidine, versus venetoclax in combination with azacitidine in participants with previously untreated TP53 mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
