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 is a Phase 2b study investigating the efficacy and safety of mesdopetam as adjunct therapy on daily ON-time without troublesome dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson disease. Mesdopetam is taken for 84 days.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zimura (avacincaptad pegol) intravitreal administration in patients with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Pneumonia is a recurrent element of COVID-19 infection, it is often associated with development of respiratory failure and patients frequently need various degrees of oxygen therapy up to non invasive ventilation (NIV-CPAP) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Main purpose of this study is to evaluate with non invasive clinical instruments (pletysmography, Diffusion lung capacity for carbon monoxide -DLCO-, six minute walking test and dyspnea scores) and radiological tools (chest X-ray and chest CT scan) the development of medium-to-long term pulmonary sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
Actually, there are few data about the effectiveness of remote monitoring (RM) and patient centered alarms setting in patients with unexplained syncope underwent implanted loop recorder (ILR) monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate the time from onset of first physician's evaluation of asyntomatic ECG events lead to medical treatment in ordinary clinical practice for syncope patients with ILR patients and compare it between patients followed with RM or conventionally with annual in-hospital visits.
The aim of this study is the characterization from epidemiological, radiomics and molecular point of view of lung metastasis of patients at beginning affected by pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which after the resection of primitive tumor have met with initial recurrence of the disease exclusively at the lung level.
Burnout, fatigue, distress and negative issues are in health care providers with different percentages. To date, little is known about the experience of burnout, fatigue and distress related with end of life and bioethical issues. The main aim of this study is to quantify burnout and identify a set of variables (meaning of life, stress, moral distress, ethical climate, resilience, positive and negative affects) that may impact on professionals dealing with end-of-life and bioethics issues in their working life. The project is an observational multicentre cross-sectional study, population-based. The target population is composed by psychologists, nurses and other healthcare providers dealing with end-of-life/palliative care and other conditions. The study will be conducted using a mixed methods, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Regarding the quantitative approaches, standardized questionnaires will be administered anonymously to each participant in one time only. Concerning the qualitative approaches, semi-structured interviews will be carried out until the saturation of categories is reached according to the Grounded Theory methodology It is mainly attended that this project may shed light on wellness and distress related to end-of-life and bioethical issues faced in working life by health care providers, considering not only risk factors but also protective and positive ones. The quantitative part of the research is supposed to identify the dimension of burnout in this health-care professionals category and to better clarify the role of some variables (meaning of life, stress, moral distress, ethical climate, resilience, positive and negative affects) that may modulate and affect wellness and distress experienced by this category of workers. The qualitative part of the study will help to frame better the issue, detecting the main demanding aspects.
In COVID-19 pandemic, it is of critical importance to identify a rapid and simple diagnostic method to be used in clinical settings to timely inform and refine strategies that can prevent, control, and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The 2019-nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. Clinical specimens from patients who were suspected of being infected with 2019-nCoV will be used to evaluate the performance of the assay.
Background: Sacubitril/valsartan, a novel therapy in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), has recently proved efficacy in improving exercise tolerance and cardiac performance. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) provides functional prognostic parameters for patient with HFrEF (i.e. peakVO2 and ventilation/CO2 production [VE/VCO2] slope) and it is a well-recognized, valuable, accurate tool for risk stratification. Aim of the study and methods: The aim of the study is to prospectively enroll a cohort of 100 HFrEF outpatients eligible for sacubitril/valsartan and perform serial CPET, laboratory and echocardiographic assessments before and during the gradual titration of the treatment, in order to evaluate its effects on cardiopulmonary function and left ventricular remodeling. The procedures will be repeated along the follow-up at 1, 2 and 3 months after the enrollment (titration period) and at 6 months after the reach of the maximum tolerated dose.
In pediatric patients (newborns and infants weighing less than 10 kg) undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation postoperative bleeding represents a known complication with a significant impact on outcome. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for bleeding management is associated, particularly in this kind of patients, to volume overload and a significative increase of Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI), further worsening the postoperative outcome. In the adult patient FFP employment could be almost completely canceled by administration of concentrated hemostatic components - the fibrinogen concentrate and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). We designed this phase II pilot study to establish whether an analogous strategy, modified accordingly to pediatric physiology, could be safely and successfully applied in newborns and infants.
A single-arm, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study of the Amplatzer™ Trevisio™ Intravascular Delivery System for facilitating percutaneous, transcatheter implantation of the Amplatzer™ Occluder Devices. NOTE: The enrollment for the VSD cohort is still recruiting (3 subjects at this moment); therefore, the overall status of the study is Recruiting.
