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.
Anorexia Nervosa inpatient treatment has often a short-term success as weight is restored to a healthy level, but high percentage of patients relapse during the first year following the discharge. The development of strategies to overcome this problem represents a priority for clinicians. Aim of this trial is to evaluate the effects of a relapse prevention program based on cognitive dissonance theory developed for hospitalized patients.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate of KW-0761 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. KW-0761 targets CCR4. CCR4 is the receptor for macrophage derived chemokines MDC/CCL22 and TARC/CCL17. Chemokines are considered to play a role both in the recruitment of immune and inflammatory cells for anti-tumor response and in the selective homing of neoplastic B and T cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals' vaccine GSK1437173A in the prevention of Herpes zoster (HZ) in autologous haematopoietic cell transplant recipients 18 years of age and older. To this end, the study will evaluate vaccine efficacy (VE) of the GSK1437173A vaccine, administered on a 2-dose schedule, compared to placebo in reducing the risk of developing HZ in this population.
This study assessed the safety and efficacy of escalating doses INC280 when added to gefitinib in patients with lung cancer that were known to have dysregulation of the c-MET pathway and who had failed after benefiting on a prior treatment with either gefitinib or erlotinib.
This study was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of treatment with buparlisib plus fulvestrant versus fulvestrant plus placebo in postmenopausal women with hormone Receptor-positive (HR-positive), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative), locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) whose disease has progressed on or after aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment.
With conventional treatments (i.e. iv Ig, steroids) the overall response rate of ITP secondary to LPD is generally lower than in primary ITP, and usually not higher than 50% (95% CI 27-72). Eltrombopag which has proved very effective in primary ITP could be effective also in ITP secondary to LPDs. This novel ITP specific treatment might spare these patients not only from bleeding risk but also from toxic or inappropriate cytotoxic therapies, not otherwise demanded by the burden of the underlying disease.
The objective of this prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, post-market, observational study is to compile clinical data on percutaneous techniques used to obtain tibiopedal access and to cross infrainguinal arterial occlusions.
In a crossover, single blind, randomized trial the calcium bioavailability of two calcium supplements will be compared.That is AlgaeCal®(Algaecal Inc, Vancouver, Canada)(1 dose is 3 capsules of 180 mg calcium), derived from ocean algae and the proprietary calcium supplement Caltrate 600® (Wyeth Consumer Healthcare, Inc). After a screening visits 20 healthy male subjects aged 20-50 years will spend a day at the research center to examine calcium bioavailability data. They will be randomized to consume either first the AlgaeCal® supplement or the Caltrate 600® supplement. After a one week wash-out period subjects will be supplemented with the other supplement. During the examination day blood and urine samples will be collected before and until eight hours after the supplementation for analyses of calcium, creatinine, phosphorus, albumin and 25 Hydroxy vitamin D. Subjects are instructed to avoid taking calcium and/or vitamin D supplements 1 week before and during the entire study period. In addition, they are not allowed to take medication that may affect calcium metabolism. The hypothesis of the study is that calcium bioavailability of the AlgaeCal® supplement will be higher than that of the Caltrate 600® supplement.
The purpose of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data on the IN.PACT Admiral™ Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) in treatment of atherosclerotic disease in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries in a "real world" patient population.
