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 demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by > 30% from baseline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.
The objective of the study is to compare different deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings using the commercially approved Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Vercise system.
The main objectives of this large phase IIb/III paediatric study are to assess the efficacy and safety of dabigatran etexilate relative to standard of care and to document the appropriateness of the proposed dabigatran etexilate dosing algorithm for use in patients from birth to less than 18 years of age.
The postoperative course of the decompression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel syndrome can sometimes be complicated by pain, paresthesias and other unpleasant symptoms, or may be characterized by a slow recovery of nerve function. Lipoic acid is considered to be a powerful and effective antioxidant with neuroprotective and neurotrophic properties. Dietary supplementation with lipoic acid helps reduce the damage to the nervous structure. Its action as a dietary supplement may positively modulate and accelerate healing after decompression of the median nerve. The aim of the study is to explore any possible effects of this molecule in the postoperative period after decompression of the median nerve at the wrist. Patients will be enrolled with proven carpal tunnel syndrome. By means of randomization, patients will be placed into one of two groups: Group A: surgical decompression of the median nerve followed by alpha lipoic acid, 800 mg daily for 40 days. Group B: surgical decompression of the median nerve followed by treatment with placebo The primary endpoint of the study will be Nerve conduction velocity at 3 months after surgery after 50 days of discontinuing treatment with alpha lipoic acid (TIOBEC) / PLACEBO.
Primary Objective: To describe efficacy, tolerability and convenience of teriflunomide treatment through the evaluation of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs). Secondary Objectives: To describe disease progression using Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs). To describe clinical outcomes (ie, treated relapses) in teriflunomide treated patients. To describe the change in cognition in teriflunomide treated patients. To describe safety of teriflunomide in patients treated (based on adverse events reporting). To describe adherence and persistence to teriflunomide treatment. To describe quality of life, activity and leisure over the period of teriflunomide treatment. To compare Patient Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) in assessing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease progression.
The main objective of this clinical trial is to collect human milk samples from 0 to 4 months after delivery in order to characterize human milk components. The secondary objectives of this study are: 1. To assess whether there is a correlation between human milk composition and mothers' diet 2. To assess whether there is a correlation between human milk composition and maternal clinical parameters 3. To assess whether there is a correlation between human milk composition and mother and infant clinical parameters
Our previous findings support the notion that group activity program, based on cognitive stimulation, recreational-occupational activities and physical-psychomotor exercises, can lead to an improvement in behavioral aspects for people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to clarify the efficacy of a rehabilitation program in outpatients affected by AD in mild to moderate stages.
The objective of this survey is to establish the clinical course of vision loss and recovery in patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). Visual acuity changes over time from onset of symptoms and from visual acuity nadir will be the main endpoint analysed. The survey will collect historically documented visual acuity data for all patients at participating sites with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of LHON. No exclusion criteria apply. Patients are not required to attend the clinic for the survey. Data will be collected in a completely anonymous manner. Ethical approvals and data release agreements will be obtained as required by local regulations.
This is a single-arm, Simon 2-stage, phase 2 clinical study conducted in subjects with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously received ≥ 1 prior line of systemic therapies and are resistant to EGFR inhibitor (cetuximab or panitumumab). This trial will be conducted to determine objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall-survival (OS) of cetuximab plus tivantinib in patients with wild-type KRAS CRC that is resistant to anti-EGFR antibody treatment (cetuximab or panitumumab) and shows overexpression of cMET.
Femoral head avascular necrosis is a relatively common disease (10,000 - 20,000 yearly new United States of America cases) characterized by ischemic cell necrosis in a hip proximal epiphysis area frequently requiring total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Even though THA resolves symptoms and restores good joint function, young patients are prone to major disabilities and require prosthesis revision surgeries. In this clinical trial a comparison between two groups of patients, treated with the same procedure but with two different regenerative techniques, will be performed: 1. 52 patients with necrosis in an early stage, without deformity of the femoral epiphysis (stage 2A-B-C in Association for Research on Osseous Circulation (ARCO) classification, will undergo wide decompression of the necrotic area and reconstruction with homologous Lyophilized Bone Chips (LBC), growth factors from platelet concentrate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Concentrated Bone Marrow (CBM). 2. 52 patients with necrosis of similar features, without deformity of the femoral epiphysis, will undergo wide decompression of the necrotic area and reconstruction with Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM), growth factors from Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) and Concentrated Bone Marrow (CBM). Patients will be evaluated post-surgery at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to assess joint damage evolution by ARCO classification, and hip function by clinical scores (Harris Hip Score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Score, and Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)).
