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 the study was the evaluation of the effect of a treatment for highly-active relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). This was the extension study to CLARIFY MS (NCT03369665), to assess cognitive impairment and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with highly active RMS, at 4 years after initial dose of Mavenclad® tablets.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious pandemic disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Central Nervous System (CNS) complications associated with COVID-19 might be secondary sequelae due to exuberant systemic innate-mediated hyper-inflammation, which may impair neurovascular endothelial function, disrupt blood brain barrier (BBB), activates CNS innate immune signaling pathways, and induces parainfectious autoimmunity, potentially contributing to the CNS manifestations. Although the predominant clinical manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by dyspnea, unremitting fever and hypoxemic respiratory failure, neurologic manifestations do occur in most hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients and include non-specific encephalopathy, psychosis, meningitis/encephalitis, myelitis, cerebrovascular events, Guillain-Barre' syndrome, and cranial or peripheral neuropathies, such as anosmia and ageusia. To date, data about primary CNS involvement due to neurotropism and direct neuroinvasion are still lacking.
Paediatric anaesthesia care in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a challenge for clinicians. The recent debate about the role of anaesthetic agent on neural development, encouraged an evaluation of their actual activity in this environment. In this active call survey, the authors sought to delineate the Italian situation regarding national centers, staff involved, monitoring and tools available. The primary aim was to evaluate clinical practice in childhood management in Magnetic Resonance suite. This study was designed as prospective phone survey on the setting of a complete sample of all national centers performing almost a paediatric discharge in the 2014, obtained from Italian Health Ministery registers. The three section survey was fill out with the Physician in charge in Magnetic Resonance suite. The Main outcome was a descriptive and exploratory analyses about the organization setting of the Centers (procedures, performers, monitoring and tools).
Single-center, prospective, open-label, not randomized, diagnostic phase II trial in the management of patients with prostate cancer.
The study aims to investigate, through serial measurements of some biomarkers, the potential mechanisms through which yoga impacts on QOL and fatigue.
The EPYGON VALVE is an innovative mitral valve, intended for valve replacement of a native mitral valve through a minimally invasive implant procedure by means of a dedicated implant device. The EPYGON VALVE is a bio prosthesis, composed by a functional assembly of bovine pericardium on a NiTinol stent. The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of the Epygon™ Transcatheter mitral valve and the transapical delivery system, in adult patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation.
The purpose of this phase IV study is to identify innovative early imaging parameters as predictors of the long-term clinical response to brolucizumab in terms of fluid resolution in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) with the purpose to evaluate their potential in supporting the treatment regimen choice (q12w or q8w).
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of alectinib in children and adolescents with ALK fusion-positive solid or CNS tumors for whom prior treatment has proven to be ineffective or for whom there is no satisfactory standard treatment available.
Study to determine the safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab with platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) plus etoposide (EP) as first-line treatment in participants with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.
silicone oil tamponade removal after previous injection of complicated retinal detachment can be achieved with active suction followed by triple air-fluid exchange or prolonged lavage of the vitreous chamber to remove emulsification. Purpose of the study is to compare the amount of silicone oil emulsification droplets within the lavage fluid in case of air exchange and simple lavage to compare which technique removed the highest percentage of emulsion. This is achieved by comparing consecutive samples of lavage fluid
