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.
Dual antiplatelet therapy is essential in patients following ST-Elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug eluting stent implantation. Current guidelines recommend prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PPCI. We sought to investigate the superiority antiplatelet effect in terms of PR level of loading dose (LD) of Prasugrel (60 mg) versus LD of Ticagrelor (180 mg) in diabetic patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI at 1 and 2 hours post drug administration. Secondary end-points will be: PR level measured at 6 and 12 hours post study drugs administrationin hospital. All consecutive diabetic patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI with stent implantation will be considered for PR assessment at 1-2-6-12 h after the drug LD administration. All patients must will be naïve for platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibition therapy. A subanalysis will be performed between two study groups according to insulin treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic activity of capecitabine alone or in combination with mitomycin C as second-line therapy in patients with advanced/metastatic biliary adenocarcinoma in progression after gemcitabine and platinum compounds
the primary objective is to characterise the impact of gefitinib on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) based assessments; objective response rate (ORR ; confirmed complete response(CR) or partial response (PR)) and disease control rate (DCR; confirmed complete response(CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)) in patients with EGFR M+ NSCLC
The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients receiving E7080 + Best Supportive Care (BSC) with those receiving placebo + Best Supportive Care.
This is a postmarketing study to assess the overall performance and survivorship of the SIGMA HP® PARTIAL KNEE SYSTEM.
This is a Natural History study to characterize key aspects of the clinical course of late onset Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency/ Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD).
The objective of this study is to intra-individually compare the performances of two pacemaker algorithms designed to reduce unnecessary right ventricular pacing: Intrinsic Rhythm Support Plus (IRSplus) and Ventricular Pace Suppression (VpS). The study will compare ventricular pacing percentage, long-term atrio-ventricular conduction time, occurrences of atrial tachyarrhythmic events and atrial fibrillation burden percentage in patients implanted with a pacemaker for Sick Sinus Syndrome.
This is a multicentre, open, randomised, and controlled trial conducted in sixty (60) patients diagnosed with refractory or recurrent ascites. Patients will be randomised (enrolled) to either treatment arm A- implanted with the ALFApump System or treatment arm B-standard of care with evacuation large volume paracentesis. The main aims of the study are to determine the paracentesis free survival, defined as the time to the first large volume therapeutic paracentesis > 5 litres. The secondary aims are to assess non-inferiority of cirrhosis-related complications in the group of patients randomized to the ALFApump system group, as well as nutritional effects, resource utilisation, patient quality of life and survival non-inferiority.
This trial is designed to enroll postmenopausal patients with locally advanced or metastatic, HER2- and HR+ breast cancer not amenable to curative treatment by surgery or radiotherapy, and whose disease has progressed on or after prior endocrine therapy. Patients must undergo molecular pre-screening prior to entry.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the initiation of a vildagliptin plus metformin combination regimen would result in more durable glycemic control than metformin monotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
