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 present study is an open-label, randomized, controlled, two-arm multi-center study of the efficacy of L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in advanced or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma patients. In the study, 102 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive doxorubicin treatment (Arm 1) or L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate if L19TNF in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2) given for unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma improves efficacy measured as progression free survival, as compared to doxorubicin alone (Arm 1).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of additional 6-week treatment cycles with rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
retrospective observational study of variation in incidence and clinical presentation of appendicitis during the pandemic in northern Italy, compared with the same period in the previous 2 years.
Use of rapid serological tests to assess the vulnerability to SARS-CoV-2 infection of subjects aged 4-16 years old and cohabiting with at least one family member who tested positive to SARS-CoV-2
Pronation seems feasible and effective in improving blood oxygenation in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Data are lacking on the effects of pronation on clinical outcome in this subset of patients.
Although the well-known detrimental effects of conventional cigarette smoking on oral health, there are still lack of evidences about the impact of less harmful alternatives (such as electronic cigarettes or heat not burn products), especially in young smokers with clinical absence of signs of moderate to severe periodontitis. This study aims to investigate whether cigarette smokers who switch to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS) undergo measurable improvements in oral health parameters and teeth appearance, comparing short- and long-term impact on periodontal health between smokers continuing with conventional cigarette smoking, those switching to combustion-free nicotine delivery systems (C-F NDS), and never-smokers. The investigator propose a prospective, multicenter, interventional, open label, randomized, controlled, three parallel-arms study assessing oral health parameters and teeth appearance of 18 months duration.
The objective of this study is to capture the change in pain intensity, physical/emotional function, and pain impact for patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain who undergo an Exablate treatment.
The investigators suppose that lung sliding could be reduced in the same lung region moving from less ventilated to overinflated condition. This is supported by theoretical arguments by some authors but so far it has not been demonstrated. The investigators suppose that speckle tracking applied to LUS is able to demonstrate a reduction or abolition in pleural sliding when lung tissue is overinflated by higher PEEP after lung recruitment maneuver. The overinflation is diagnosed by Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) and mechanical respiratory measurements (reduction in compliance as ratio between tidal volume over difference between plateau pressure and PEEP) and localized by EIT.
This study defines a standardized protocol inspired to the ERAS philosophy for the peri-operative treatment of patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Primary endpoint is the feasibility of the application of the standardized protocol; secondary endpoint is the safety
The CAvEAT study is a not for profit, international, multicenter study aimed to assess the feasibility of selective coronary angiography (CA) after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), to investigate predictors of successful selective cannulation (anatomical, technical, etc.) and to investigate if there is a significant difference among different type of transcatheter valves in selective coronary cannulation.
