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.
Migraine is the 2nd most disabling neurological disease. It affects 14.7% of the population (children and adults) of whom 80% are female. In the European Union, the total annual cost of migraine is of 111 billion euros. If not adequately treated, migraine can evolve into the more severe chronic form (CM), defined by >15 headache days/month, where burden and costs increase exponentially. Until very recently, available preventive treatments for migraine were non-specific, of limited efficacy and scarce tolerability. In 2018, monoclonal antibodies (mABs) against calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor have been approved. Since CGRP is one of the main modulators of the trigeminal system, mABs against CGRP are the first specific preventive treatment for migraine ever developed. They are highly effective in a subgroup of patients, well tolerated, but costly. In this frame, the main objective of BIOMIGA project is to identify predictive biomarkers of response to CGRP-mABs in patients with severe forms of migraine. To this end, the investigators will use an integrated hypothesis-based and data-driven, multidisciplinary approach that combines' omic testing in a deep-phenotyped migraine population and parallel fundamental research in a validated animal model of migraine. Three partners, Headache Science Centre, IRCCS C. Mondino Foundation, University of Pavia, Italy, Headache Research Group Vall d'Hebron Institute of Research, Barcelona, Spain and Institut für Systemische Neurowissenschaften, Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany with an established long-standing and complementary expertise in neuroimaging, biochemical profiling and epigenetics in humans and in animal modeling of migraine will collaborate to achieve the Project's objective. The investigators expect important spin-offs to the improved management of migraine, both in terms of increased efficacy and cost saving, but also to understand CGRP-based mechanisms underlying migraine pathophysiology and to set the basis for a pathophysiologically driven classification. Healthcare providers and the pharmaceutical industry will be engaged once the biomarker(s) have been identified to optimize access to care and the use of resource, as well as to reduce disability and socio-economic impact of migraine.
Over the past century, lifestyles and eating habits have rapidly changed, helping to increase the onset of conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Recently, dietary regimens such as calorie restriction and intermittent fasting have been promoted as new strategies for reducing obesity and related co-morbidities. These strategies have proven effective in reducing body fat, improving blood pressure, lipid profile and insulin resistance in overweight individuals. However, due to the rigidity of these food protocols, the adherence of subjects to the diet is often limited or maintained only for short periods. Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) is a less extreme form of intermittent fasting, in which the subject's daily calorie intake is consumed only in a certain period of time during the day (normally 8-12 hours). TRE have been able to reduce fat mass, pro-inflammatory markers (eg IL-6, TNF-a) and have improved some biomarkers related to cardiovascular risks (eg Insulin, HDL, TG). The literature offers numerous versions of intermittent fasting, and the role of fasting duration is not yet fully clear. Thus. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect od different duration of fasting in a TRE protocol on body composition and lipid and inflammatory profile. Moreover, the study intended to explore the effect of 2 month of TRE on long term maintenance of diet habits, body composition, lipid and inflammatory profile.

Helmet noninvasive ventilation and high-flow nasal cannula are novel tools for the first-line treatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Compared to face-mask noninvasive ventilation in randomized trials, both have improved clinical outcome of patients with moderate-to-severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. As compared to high-flow nasal cannula, helmet noninvasive ventilation improves oxygenation, reduces inspiratory effort, respiratory rate and dyspnea. Whether these physiological benefits are translated into improved outcome remains to be established. The investigators designed a randomized trial to establish whether first line treatment with Helmet noninvasive ventilation is capable of increasing the number of 28-day respiratory-support-free days, as compared to high-flow nasal cannula in patients with moderate-to-severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of poractant alfa (Curosurf®), administered by endotracheal (ET) instillation in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with SARS-COV-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, combined with acalabrutinib for the treatment of adults with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Participants must be relapsed/refractory (having failed prior therapy)
Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Panzyga in Primary Infection Prophylaxis in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The strict rules applied in Italy during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, with the prohibition to attend any regular outdoor activity, are likely to influence the degree of metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this observational, prospective, single centre study was to evaluate the immediate impact of the lockdown rules on the metabolic profile of a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of nemolizumab (CD14152) compared to placebo in participants greater than or equal to (>=) 18 years of age with prurigo nodularis (PN) after a 16 week treatment period.
This study is about an anticancer drug called ponatinib which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor given with chemotherapy to children, teenagers, and young adults up to 21 years of age with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia who have relapsed or are resistant to other treatment. The main aims of this study are to confirm the highest dose of ponatinib tablets and minitablet capsules that can be given to participants with acceptable side effects, and to evaluate if participant's leukemia achieves remission. Participants will take ponatinib tablets with chemotherapy. For participants who cannot swallow tablets or who are receiving less than a 10 mg dose, a capsule with small ponatinib minitablets inside will be provided. Participants will take ponatinib for 10 weeks in combination with chemotherapy (reinduction and consolidation blocks) and will be followed up for at least 3 years.
