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 open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study provided continued access to vemurafenib for eligible participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive malignancy, who were previously enrolled and treated in an antecedent vemurafenib protocol and did not meet the protocol's criteria for disease progression, or were treated beyond progression and were still deriving clinical benefit (as assessed by investigator), and may have therefore potentially benefited from continued treatment with vemurafenib. Participants received treatment with oral vemurafenib at 960 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID), 720 mg BID, or 480 mg BID, depending on the last dose in the antecedent protocol. Treatment continued until progression of disease or as long as the participant was deriving clinical benefit, as judged by the investigator (case-by-case decision with approval of the Medical Monitor), death, withdrawal of consent, unacceptable toxicity, loss to follow-up, or decision of the Sponsor to terminate the study, whichever occurred first.
The objectives of this multicenter, randomized trial is to assess the participation rate achievable through two different screening strategies (Computed Tomographic Colonography-CTC and sigmoidoscopy-FS), to compare detection rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma of tests and to evaluate their costs. The role of Computer-aided detection (CAD) for CTC screening will be also assessed. The trial involves 10 Italian centers located in the Piedmont Region and in Verona. Residents aged 58-60 years in those districts are target for recruitment. Exclusion criteria include: previous diagnosis of cancer or adenoma; family history or hereditary syndromes; personal history of inflammatory bowel disease; patients screened by colonoscopy or FOBT within 2 years; severe disease.
The objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of two different doses of NEFECON in the treatment of patients with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of developing end-stage renal disease, under rigorous blood pressure control with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and/or angiotensin II receptor I blocker (ARB).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate in patients with cystic fibrosis the effect of Lactobacillus Reuteri (LR) on the rate of respiratory exacerbations and of the infections of both upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inotersen given for 65 weeks in participants with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP).
Collection of data from different sites regardless of whether they use standard or tailored protocols for the application of high concentration iodinated contrast agents to assess if the individually patient-adapted protocols result in a similar diagnostic image quality.
The investigators plan an open label randomized controlled trial to compare short-course antibiotic therapy (<=7 days) versus longer treatment (>7 days). The investigators will include hospitalized patients with gram-negative bacteremia. The investigators primary objective is to investigate the safety and efficacy of short-course antibiotics.
This non-interventional study will evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, health related quality of life and use of health resources associated with QUTENZA treatment when QUTENZA is used in standard clinical practice. The patient's primary diagnosis of peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP) will be classified into subtypes: post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN); HIV-associated neuropathy (HIV-AN); neuropathic back pain; cancer-related neuropathic pain; post-operative & post-traumatic neuropathic pain; and 'other' neuropathies.
This is a prospective, multicenter phase II trial designed to evaluate the safety and activity of the combination of Bendamustine, Lenalidomide and Rituximab (R2-B) in patients with first relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the efficacy and safety of a maintenance treatment with Lenalidomide for 18 months from the end of R2-B (from month 7 to 24) for those responding to the induction.
The study is to demonstrate non-inferior thyroid remnant first ablation success of Thyrogen and 131I compared to thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) and 131I in patients with T4 tumour based on historical diagnostic whole body scan (DxWBS) records.
