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 Observational study aims at the evaluation of stroke subjects with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) during the execution of a 6-Minute Walking test, to evaluate the associations between the kinematic parameters retrieved trough an IMU and the classical outcome scales. Moreover compare the stroke subjects with age-matched healthy subjects, and detect the differences of gait kinematic.
Literature experiences demonstrated the impact of medically-assisted pulsed fasting on olfactory behavior in both the animal and human models and - conversely - the lack of homogeneous results linked - up to now - to administrations of pulsed fasting which are not widely codified. Thus, objective of this study protocol is to evaluate the olfactory-gustatory aspects and blood patterns of a group of subjects suffering from obesity / overweight after a 6-month period of Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) (Group A) - consisting of a caloric restriction regimen - compared to a group of homogeneous subjects observing their own eating habits (Group B) which - according to a "cross-over" model - will undergo FMD in the following semester during which the subjects belonging to Group A will observe their eating habits.
SARS-CoV-2 infection seems to induce in most critical cases an excessive and aberrant hyper-inflammatory host immune response that is associated with a so-called "cytokine storm", moreover pro-thrombotic derangements of haemostatic system is another common finding in most severe forms of COVID19 infections, which may be explained by the activation of coagulative cascade primed by inflammatory stimuli, in line with what is observed in many other forms of sepsis. Targeting inflammatory responses exploiting steroids' anti-inflammatory activity along with thrombosis prevention may be a promising therapeutic option to improve patients' outcome. Despite the biological plausibility, no good evidence is available on the efficacy and safety of heparin on sepsis patients, and many issues have to be addressed, regarding the proper timing, dosages and administration schedules of anticoagulant drugs. The primary objective is to assess the hypothesis that an adjunctive therapy with steroids and unfractionated heparin (UFH) or with steroids and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are more effective in reducing any-cause mortality in critically-ill patients with pneumonia from COVID- 19 infection compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone. Mortality will be measured at 28 days. The study is designed as a multicenter, national, interventional, randomized, investigator sponsored, three arms study. Patients, who satisfy all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned in a ratio 1:1:1 to one of the three treatment groups: LMWH group, LMWH+steroids or UFH+steroid group. A possible result showing the efficacy of the composite treatment in reducing the mortality rate among critically ill patients with pneumonia from COVID-19 infection will lead to a revision of the current clinical approach to this disease.
RT-CoV-2 is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation multicenter clinical trial to assess safety and immunogenicity of the candidate Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine GRAd-COV2 in Italian healthy volunteers aged 18-55 years and 65-85 years inclusive. GRAd-COV2 is based on a novel replication defective Gorilla Adenovirus and encodes for SARS-COV-2 Spike protein.
The aim of this study is to estimate the efficacy of apremilast compared to placebo in the treatment of oral ulcers in pediatric participants from 2 to < 18 years of age with oral ulcers associated with Behçet's disease (BD) through week 12.
The primary objective of this study is to assess overall survival (OS) with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in comparison with treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable urothelial cancer (UC).
To determine the efficacy of four different oral hygiene protocols involving adjunctive interdental cleaning devices in periodontal patients in terms of plaque and gingival inflammatory scores.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug ixekizumab is safe and effective in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories of enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) (including juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis [JoAS]) and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA).
Part A of the study is conducted to select the THR-149 dose level. Part B of the study is conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of the selected dose level compared to aflibercept, up to Month 3. As from Month 3, in about half of the subjects, the effect of a single flip-over injection (aflibercept or THR-149) will be evaluated when administered 1 month after the 3 monthly injections of THR-149 or aflibercept. In the other subjects, the durability of 3 monthly injections of THR 149 or aflibercept will be evaluated.
This is an open-label, randomized, multi-site, Phase II, interventional trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of BNT111 + cemiplimab in anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD-1)/anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-refractory/relapsed patients with unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. The contributions of BNT111 and cemiplimab will be delineated in single agent calibrator arms. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to Arm 1 (BNT111 + cemiplimab) and calibrator Arm 2 (BNT111 monotherapy), and Arm 3 (cemiplimab monotherapy). Patients in single agent calibrator arms (Arms 2 and 3), who experience centrally verified disease progression under single agent treatment, may be offered addition of the other compound to the ongoing treatment after re-consent.
