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 purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the DopaFuse System can reduce the fluctuation of plasma levodopa levels compared to participants' standard intermittent doses of oral LD/CD tablets (background treatment). It will also assess whether the system is safe, well tolerated, and can relieve motor symptoms.
REPLACE is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib and pembrolizumab (Rego-Pembro) versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for the first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC or liver cancer). Approximately 496 patients in around 80 clinical sites worldwide will be randomized to receive either: - Investigational arm: Regorafenib in combination with pembrolizumab - Control arm: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or transarterial radioembolization (TARE) In both arms, patients will receive trial treatment until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, deterioration of patient's condition that warrants permanent trial treatment discontinuation or other treatment discontinuation criteria is met. After trial treatment discontinuation, subsequent treatment will be administered according to the Investigator's clinical judgment.
This study is done to find out whether the medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a "dummy" medicine which does not contain any study medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by an equal chance. The study will last for up to 173 weeks (about 3 years and 4 months). Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans. At 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sub-study will be performed as a part of the study. The sub-study will be performed on a selection of sites based on their experience with CSF sampling and willingness to participate in this sub-study. The endpoints related to this sub-study are exploratory only.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) prasinezumab versus placebo in participants with Early Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are on stable symptomatic PD medication.
This main long-term extension study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of faricimab 6 milligrams (mg) administered by intravitreal injection at a personalized treatment interval (PTI) to participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who enrolled in and completed one of the Phase III studies: GR40306 (NCT03823287) or GR40844 (NCT03823300), also referred to as the parent studies. Eligible patients who consent to participate in this main study will be enrolled upon completion of the end-of-study visit in the parent study. Additionally, there is a substudy that is being conducted. The aim of this substudy is to evaluate the impact of intravitreal faricimab on the health of the corneal endothelial cells in the study eyes of patients with nAMD to fulfill a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) post-marketing requirement. The fellow eyes of the same enrolled participants in the substudy will serve as the controls.
Graves' disease (GD) is the most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism in iodine sufficient countries and Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is its most common extrathyroidal manifestation. Restoration and maintenance of euthyroidism are imperative in Graves' disease patients with GO. The main treatment options for Graves' hyperthyroidism are antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine (RAI), and surgery. Whether one or the other therapy for Graves' hyperthyroidism offers the best protection against GO is not established. The study is aimed at comparing the effects of a conservative approach (antithyroid drugs, ATDs, experimental arm) vs an ablative approach (radioiodine or total thyroidectomy) of thyroid treatment on the overall outcome of GO in patients with GD and moderate-to-severe and active GO treated with intravenous glucocorticoids.
This study is a prospective, randomized phase III, to evaluate if in patients with mCRC RAS/BRAF wild type on tumor tissue and RAS mutations on liquid biopsy, treating in first line with antibody anti-VEGF (bevacizumab) plus chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) is superior in terms of PFS compared to standard treatment with antibody anti-EGFR (cetuximab) plus FOLFIRI, and then in patients RAS/BRAF wild type on tumor tissue who develop RAS mutations on liquid biopsy after the beginning of the first line treatment with cetuximab plus FOLFIRI, in the absence of a clinical or radiological progression disease, to anticipate a change of treatment with bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI further impacts on the PFS.
This study will evaluate whether eye-tracking assisted teaching (EMME, Eye Movement Modeling Examples) changes the visual patterns and improve the inexperienced trainee's performance in executing an epidural block on an epidural simulator.
The safety and tolerability of MK-8591A, a 2-drug fixed dose combination (FDC) of doravirine (DOR 100mg) and islatravir (ISL 0.75mg) will be evaluated in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) who were treated with DOR and ISL in earlier clinical studies.
