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 study is a single-dose acute clinical trial aiming at identifying aggregate metabolic phenotypes for the main dietary (poly)phenols and assessing the factors associated with their formation. The treatment consists of a nutritional challenge representative of the consumption of (poly)phenols in Europeans (so-called oral (poly)phenol challenge test, OPCT) and foresees the supplementation of three standardized tablets rich in (poly)phenols, prepared from various commercially available plant extracts constituting sources of specific (poly)phenols. Urinary excretion of (poly)phenol metabolites will be evaluated at 24 hours after tablet consumption or, for two subgroups of volunteers, at different time points for 24 hours upon tablet consumption. Blood pressure and heart rate will also be measured and anthropometric data collected. Information will be collected on genetic polymorphisms related to the metabolism of (poly)phenols, gene expression, standard cardiometabolic health biomarkers, cardiometabolic risk scores and gut microbiota profile, through the collection of urine, blood and stool samples. Volunteers will follow a (poly)phenol-free diet before and after the OPCT. To check compliance with food restrictions, a 24-hour recall will be carried out on each visit. For a sub-group of 50 subjects, 3 months after the first challenge, the OPCT will be repeated with further urinary and fecal collection.
To compare the effect of a class I pullulan based medical device containing Allium cepa & HA versus a class I medical device silicone gel on new post-surgical wounds
implant stability is the first requirement for implant success. the aim is to assess whether different implant site preparation technique may impact the value of the primary stability.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with uncoordinated atrial electrical activation and consequently ineffective atrial contraction. Electrocardiographic characteristics of AF include: irregularly irregular R-R intervals (when atrioventricular conduction is not impaired), absence of distinct repeating P waves, and irregular atrial activations. Different AF classifications have been proposed but, traditionally, four patterns of AF are distinguished, based on presentation, duration, and spontaneous termination of AF episodes. Paroxysmal AF, that terminates spontaneously or with intervention within 7 days of onset. Persistent AF that is continuously sustained beyond 7 days, including episodes terminated by cardioversion (drugs or electrical cardioversion) after >7 days. Long-standing persistent (continuous AF of >12 months' duration) when decided to adopt a rhythm control strategy. Permanent AF, that is accepted by the patient and physician, and no further attempts to restore/maintain sinus rhythm will be undertaken. The purpose of this study is to perform assessments of local impedance before and after cryoablation performed with the new POLAR X cryoballoon, in order to characterize the quality of the lesion and possibly to associate it with the acute success and 12 months AF recurrence-free rate.
The progressive improvement of lymphoma treatment has led to an important prolongation of patient survival and life expectancy. Therefore, the principal International scientific societies of oncology, recommend Long-term Survivors of Lymphoma to join fertility programs. Specifically, fertile age patients should be assisted by a multi-disciplinary team including specialists dedicated to fertility preservation in oncology, in order to support the completion of the reproductive project. In general population, the use of Inositol was spready considered an effectives choice to contrast ovarian dysfunction with consequently improvement of reproductive outcomes, so it may represent an adjuvant strategy for this purpose. Therefore, the investigators conducted a pilot study to evaluate the potentialities of this nutritional supplement with the aim to optimize the reproductive function in Long-term Survivors of Lymphoma. Despite the limited number of cases and short observational time, this pilot investigation could represent a potential cornerstone for further insights, discussions, and applications
A multicenter longitudinal study with data collection at 4 and 8 months after hospital discharge.
Multicenter, cluster randomized, controlled, open-label trial to assess if AnapnoGuard System can minimize tracheal microaspiration and the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia when compared to standard treatment
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the use of probiotics in domiciliary oral hygiene procedures in pregnant women. Patients consenting to participate to the study will undergo periodontal evaluation at the baseline (T0). Then, professional dental hygiene will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned to: - Trial group: home oral application of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste + Biorepair Peribioma mousse twice a day - Control group: home oral application of Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste Patients will be evaluated after 1 month (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 (T3) months.
This research aims to explore the potential benefits of supplementation of a natural ingredient, the Monarda didyma extract, to reduce / delay the biological aging of a susceptible population, thus contributing to two relevant topics in science with important social and economic implications: anti-aging strategies for wellness and healthy aging and environmental sustainability using natural products.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate acute safety and efficacy of the S.M.A.R.T. RADIANZ™ Vascular Stent System, when used with the BRITE TIP RADIANZ™ Guiding Sheath and SABERX RADIANZ™ PTA Balloon Catheter, to deploy the S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent, in the treatment of patients with obstructive iliac or femoropopliteal arterial disease via radial artery access.
