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.
This is an open-label, multicenter study to confirm the safety and efficacy of durvalumab + daratumumab (D2) in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also explore the safety and efficacy of the addition of pomalidomide + dexamethasone to durvalumab + daratumumab (PD3). On 05 Sep 2017, a Partial Clinical Hold was placed on this study by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The decision by the FDA was based on data related to risks of anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody, pembrolizumab, in combination with IMiDs® immunomodulatory drugs in patients with multiple myeloma. As a result, enrollment into this study has been discontinued. Subjects who are receiving clinical benefit, based on the discretion of the investigator, may remain on study treatment after being reconsented.
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease may precede symptoms of Alzheimer's Dementia by over 20 years. The Investigators hope to be able to identify Alzheimer's disease at its very earliest stages when in theory treatments are most likely to be successful in preventing further spread of the disease in the brain and causing dementia. The aim of EPAD programme is to develop new treatments more quickly to prevent Alzheimer's dementia. A major component of the EPAD programme is the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study which can provide subjects for the EPAD trial as well as data to improve understanding of disease before dementia develops. The Investigators will approach a broad range of people over the age of 50 who have previously taken part in various research studies and consented to being recontacted for further research. Participants will be asked questions to assess their memory and other cognitive function. The participants will also undertake a brain scan, provide a sample of spinal fluid, blood, urine and saliva to look at markers in these bodily fluids that may change in Alzheimer's disease. The Investigators will then follow these participants until December 2019 repeating these tests annually. This will be called the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study (EPAD LCS). The main reasons for EPAD developing a cohort are to help the Investigators understand more about what happens to people before dementia develops, and to help recruit people more quickly into the EPAD trials of new medications or other interventions expected to prevent dementia. People in the EPAD LCS may be invited to take part in the EPAD Proof of Concept prevention studies to see if interventions can modify the probability of developing dementia or cognitive problems (this will be subject to separate ethics approval and consent). Together EPAD LCS and EPAD PoC make up the full EPAD Programme.
Unity NHL - A Phase 2b Randomized Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Ublituximab + Umbralisib with or without Bendamustine and Umbralisib alone in Patients with Previously Treated Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The study aims to compare the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of an optimised dosing to a standard dosing regimen of vancomycin in neonates and infants aged ≤ 90 days with late onset bacterial sepsis known or suspected to be caused by Gram-positive microorganisms
Chronic non-healing wounds represent a major source of morbidity, disability, and mortality in diabetic patients. Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic limb amputations worldwide. Many patients with ischemic or neuroischemic wounds are not candidate to surgical/endovascular revascularization, owing to anatomical vascular reasons or for the underlying conditions and co-morbidities. Therefore, identification of novel medical treatment strategies to improve wound healing in diabetic patients is a major challenge for clinicians, researchers, and health care systems. Defects in bone marrow (BM)-derive stem and progenitor cells, including EPCs (endothelial progenitor cells), contribute to diabetic complications. Stem cell mobilizing agents have been previously studied as an adjunctive therapy for critical limb ischemia and chronic non-healing wounds in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, as well as for the treatment of diabetic wound infections . Meta-analyses of such studies indicate that stem cell mobilization in these clinical conditions is safe and potentially effective in improving surrogate outcome measures and hard endpoints (such as rates of wound healing and amputation). This study plans to evaluate whether a single injection of Plerixafor improves wound healing in diabetic patients with stage III-IV (neuro)ischemic wounds.
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Sarizotan in reducing respiratory abnormalities in Rett Syndrome in an initial double blind 24 week period followed by an open label treatment phase of up to 168 weeks (the latter for patients with no safety and tolerability issues).
The objective of the PRELUDE study is to describe the use of lanreotide Autogel® (LAN ATG) combined with Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in the treatment of progressive neuroendocrine tumours located in the lung or in the digestive system as there is currently limited data on these treatments used together for these types of neuroendocrine tumours.
Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial infection. It can lead to severe stomach problems, including stomach cancer. Researchers want to look at samples of the bacteria. These H. pylori strains will be taken from chronically infected people. They want to identify the genetic and epigenetic differences in H. pylori strains. This could help predict which people who get infected with the bacteria will get stomach cancer. This could lead to the cancer being detected earlier. It could also mean less people get stomach cancer. Objectives: To study genetic variations of H. pylori strains based on samples from chronically infected people. To identify the features of strains that might lead to severe stomach problems or stomach cancer. Eligibility: People ages 30-70 years who need an upper endoscopy or who were recently diagnosed with stomach cancer Design: Participants will be screened by the doctor who does their procedure and a study nurse. Participants who have endoscopy will have ~6 biopsies removed. These are tissue samples. They are about the size of a grain of rice. Participants will allow the study team to access reports from their stomach exam. Participants with stomach cancer will donate some of the tissue that will be removed during their clinical care. They will allow the study team to access reports of their surgery. They will also allow them to access the microscope slides of their stomach.
The purpose of this study in AML patients is to test whether vadastuximab talirine (SGN-CD33A; 33A) combined with either azacitidine or decitabine improves remission rates and extends overall survival as compared to placebo combined with either azacitidine or decitabine.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug known as lanabecestat in participants with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.
