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 study is designed to evaluate the discontinuation/re-treatment of pexidartinib therapy in previously treated participants with tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT).
This study will assess safety and treatment activity of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with pembrolizumab with or without platinum chemotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
The participants of this study will have confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) with inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (which is a medication used in the management and treatment of cholestatic liver disease). PBC is a slowly progressive disease characterized by damage of the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a buildup of bile acids which causes further damage. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. This study has two main parts; the first part will compare a daily dose of elafibranor (the study drug) to a daily dose of placebo (a dummy treatment), and will last between a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years. In the second part, all participants will receive elafibranor, for a period between 4-5 years. The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor is better than placebo at decreasing the levels of a specific blood test (alkaline phosphatase) that provides information about participant's disease. This study will also study the safety of long-term treatment with elafibranor, as well as the impact on symptoms such as pruritus and fatigue.
In Italy there are about 5000 patients with dependent transfusion thalassemia (source Italian Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathies - SITE) and a smaller number, currently not definable, of patients with sickle cell anemia in chronic transfusion. A recent study in the Lombardy region identified the positivity of anti-Covid-19 antibodies in 4.5-7% of asymptomatic donors (Valenti L et al). As already known, a preliminary study conducted in Italy (Motta I et al, Hussain FA et al, Taher A et al) reported only 11 cases of symptomatic infection all with benign evolution. Currently there are 15 reported cases (12 thalassemias and 3 sickle cell anemias). 75% of the cases have been identified in Lombardy. Our hypothesis is that in a percentage of polytransfused patients a transmission of the virus may have developed that stimulated the production of protective antibodies. This could be an explanation of the low contagiousness and severity of the infection in polytransfused patients. Currently no data are available for this purpose. This study will be conducted in collaboration with the Microbiology Unit and involves the determination of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (anti-s1 and s2) by CLIA method with a high sensitivity (94.7%) and specificity (98.5%).
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, FIH study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PDy), and antineoplastic activity of RLY-4008, a potent and highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor, in patients with unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and other solid tumors. The study consists of 3 parts: a dose escalation (Part 1), a dose expansion (Part 2), and an extension (Part 3).
Rationale: In preparation for treatment with gene therapy, this study is being conducted in order to investigate the natural history of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs) due to mutations in RPE65 gene. Such a study will help identify suitable patients for therapeutic intervention. Methodology: This is a multicenter retrospective, descriptive chart review study designed to assess retinal structure and function in subjects with IRDs due to mutation in RPE65 gene by visual acuity, visual field measurements, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and a number of other vision-related assessments.
The IMPACT study is a study to test a new experimental drug, IMCY-0098, for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In most people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas loses its ability to make insulin because some cells of the body's own immune system mistakenly attack and destroy the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin (islet beta-cells). The study drug IMCY-0098 is being developed to stop the body's own immune system attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells. When injected, it will induce new immune cells that will specifically destroy the bad immune cells responsible for the damage to the pancreas. IMCY-0098 has previously been tested on recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients in the first clinical study between 2017 and 2019 to collect information on the safety of IMCY-0098. The next step is to test the best dose and the best number of injections that show the drug can give a benefit. Two doses of IMCY-0098 will be tested and they will be compared to a placebo. Safety information will also be collected during the study for all the participants.
This is a multicentre real-world experience aimed at verifying the outcome of palbociclib plus ET in an unselected population of MBC patients. The primary endpoint is the clinical benefit rate (CBR); secondary aims are the median PFS (mPFS), overall survival (OS) and safety.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. This study will evaluate how well risankizumab works compared to ustekinumab. This study will assess change in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Crohn's Disease (CD). Ustekinumab is an approved drug for the treatment of moderate and severe CD. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to ustekinumab. Around 508 adult participants with moderate to severe CD will be enrolled in approximately 307 sites worldwide. In Part 1, participants assigned to risankizumab will receive intravenous (IV) doses of risankizumab at Week 0, 4,8 and subcutaneous (SC) doses every 8 weeks thereafter through Week 48. Participants assigned to ustekinumab will receive intravenous (IV) dose of ustekinumab at Week 0 and subcutaneous (SC) doses every 8 weeks thereafter through Week 48. In Part 2, participants who received risankizumab in Part 1 and completed the Week 48 visit will continue to receive SC risankizumab for up to an additional 220 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The primary objective of this phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of blinatumomab and AMG 404 in combination in adults with R/R B-ALL and to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AMG 404 when combined with continuous intravenous infusion (cIV) blinatumomab.
