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.
The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the study drug, remdesivir, and how safe it is in participants less than 18 years old with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
This study aims to develop - in collaboration with patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)- a psychosocial and physical activity intervention (i.e., ESPRIMO intervention) for young adults with MS targeted at improving patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Further, the study seeks to preliminarily test the effect, feasibility, and acceptability of the ESPRIMO intervention using a pilot sample of young adults with MS. Given that the ESPRIMO study will be conducted immediately after the COVID-19 emergency, it does not seem reasonable to start the co-creation of the intervention without taking into account the potential impact of this pandemic on the quality of life and well-being of patients with MS and on their management of care. Thus, the investigators seek to better understand the needs of the target population under these particular circumstances.
This is a prospective single-center observational study with the mail objective to identify specific subgroups of patients planned for pancreatic resection, at high risk for postoperative morbidity and impaired recovery through preoperative screening of physical, functional, nutritional and psychological risk factors using patient reported questionnaires and performance tests. Consecutive patients planned for pancreatic resection will be enrolled to screen for physical, functional, nutritional and psychological risk factors. The study duration is 3 years: 2 years of recruitment and 1 year of follow-up. The findings of the present study will enable researchers to identify specific risk categories to plan personalized prehabilitation programs and modulate oncologic treatment strategies in cancer patients planned for pancreatic surgery.
A clinical trial to assess the effect of a Zinc-L-Carnosine-based mouth rinse on periodontal tissues and pain after scaling and root planing
Purpose of the study will be to evaluate the effects of the s.c. administration of 300 IU of FSH in 16 healthy males. The endothelial function will be evaluated by the measurement with ecographic approach of the flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. The FMD will be measured before and 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours after FSH or placebo adiministration in the same subjects studied 2 weeks apart. The results will help to clarify whether perturbation of FSH, similar to the one observed in women after the menopause, affect endothelial function.
In this study, we will assess the efficacy and safety of a reduced dose of thrombolytic therapy given in addition to low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with intermediate-high-risk acute pulmonary embolism. Half of participants will receive thrombolytic treatment, while the other half will receive a placebo.
Observational, prospective, multicentre, international, non-profit, investigator-driven, outcome and diagnostic accuracy study performed in Emergency Departments. The study will evaluate the performance of diagnostic algorithms integrating pre-test probability assessment with a risk score, focus cardiac ultrasound and D-dimer, to rule-in/out acute aortic syndromes. For each patient, the outcome will be established after review of hospital and 30-day follow-up data. In participating centers, an acute aortic syndrome will be considered to be ruled out without advanced imaging by a D-dimer level lower than 500 ng per milliliter, in patients with a low clinical pre-test probability assessed using the aortic dissection detection (ADD) risk score. Using outcome data, the study will primarily assess the accuracy and efficiency of this diagnostic rule-out protocol (prospective management study). The study will also evaluate the performance of alternative rule out strategies based on a different clinical score and on a D-dimer cutoff adjusted on patient's age.
The objective of this study is to assess the outcomes between deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty using dehydrated versus standard organ culture stored donor corneas.
The objective of the study is the evaluation of the technical success and clinical outcomes of the surgical treatment of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by Jotec "TAAA spinal loop graft" "custom made "CE equivalent" branched prosthesis, compared with the patient cohort already treated with standard and / or bench-top prostheses Gelweave ™ Coselli Thoracoabdominal Grafts.
This is a postmarket clinical follow up study on the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System and the Edwards PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System in transcatheter mitral valve repair.
