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.
Primary aim of the trial 1. to verify safety and tolerability of expanded human fetal neural stem cells 2. to verify safety and tolerability of a microsurgery human fetal neural stem cells transplantation model 3. to recognize each change in patient's quality of life Secondary aim of the trial 1. assessment of the impact of human neural stem cells transplantation on the disability of ALS in a clinically significant and measurable way 2. Assessment of the impact of human neural stem cells transplantation on mortality (all causes)
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of a new serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) nin functional recovery after ischemic stroke.
The project aims to develop a new approach to risky drinkers by providing a facilitated website access and creating a local integrated support network. In order to do so: 1) A non inferiority-randomised controlled study will be performed to test the hypothesis that: Brief intervention for risky drinkers delivered in primary care through facilitated access to an alcohol reduction website has non inferior outcomes to face to face brief intervention.
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of mirabegron 50 mg versus (vs) solifenacin 5 mg in the treatment of patients with OAB who were dissatisfied with their treatment due to lack of efficacy.
Patients with chronic constipation due to food hypersensitivity (FH) had an elevated anal sphincter resting pressure. No studies have investigated a possible role of FH in anal fissures (AF). We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a diet in curing AF and the clinical effects of a double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) challenge with cow's milk protein or wheat.
The purpose of this study is to assess differences in the risk profile and in the coronary angiographic presentation between STEMI and NSTEMI. Moreover possible relationship between myocardial infarction presentation and renal function will be investigated.
To understand the patients' meaning of the informed consent process in clinical trials. Objective of the study is: - to assess, in a cohort of subjects included in clinical trials, whether the information and the informed Consent Forms conveyed to the patients have been understood - to assess whether the choice to participate in a clinical trial is informed and aware
Adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and cardia are grouped among the thoracic tumors according to the TNM 7th ed., however controversy is pending on the unique or dual pathogenesis (GERD or gastric-like cancerogenesis). It has been shown that biological patterns differ according to the presence (+) or absence (-) of Barrett's epithelium (BIM) and gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) in the fundus and antrum. Lymphatic metastatic spreading may differ according to the type of tumor. The investigators retrospectively investigated the pathways of lymphatic spreading in 194 consecutive patients who received radical surgery for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and cardia with or without BIM and GIM.
This multi-center, open-label, Phase 1b study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of RO5045337 in combination with cytarabine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. In Arm A, cohorts of previously untreated patients deemed unsuitable for standard induction therapy will receive escalating oral doses of RO5045377 and cytarabine 20 mg/m2 subcutaneously daily for Days 1 to 10 of each 28-day cycle. In Arm B, cohorts of patients who have relapsed or are refractory after at least one cytarabine/anthracycline containing regimen will receive escalating oral doses of RO5045377 on Days 1 to 5 and cytarabine 1 gm/m2 intravenously on Days 1 to 6 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will receive up to 4 cycles of therapy, patients in Arm A who achieve hematologic response may continue additional cycles until disease progression.
Patients with suspected Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and a high clinical probability or a high D-dimer level should undergo a second level diagnostic test such as Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography (MCTPA). Unfortunately MCTPA involves radiation exposure, is expensive, is not feasible in unstable patients and has contraindications. UltraSound (US) is safe and rapidly available even in unstable patients. Many authors evaluated the diagnostic role of Compression Ultrasound Scan (CUS) for detecting limbs Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), TransThoracic Echocardiography (TTE) for detecting Right Ventricular Dysfunction (RVD) or Thoracic UltraSound (TUS) for detecting subpleural infarcts in patients with suspected PE. No previous studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of CUS, TTE and TUS combined (multiorgan US) for the diagnosis of PE. This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of multiorgan US. Methods. Consecutive patients that underwent MCTPA in the Emergency Department for clinical suspicion of PE and with a simplified Well's score>4 (PE likely) or with a D-dimer value ≥500ng/ml were enrolled in the study. MCTPA was considered the gold standard for PE diagnosis. A multiorgan US was performed by an emergency physician sonographer before MCTPA. PE was considered echographically present if CUS was positive for DVT or TTE was positive for RVD or at least one pulmonary subpleural infarct was detected with TUS. The accuracy of the single and multiorgan US was calculated.
