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 main objectives of the study were to assess the effects of Obeticholic Acid (OCA) on serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin, together as a composite endpoint and on safety in participants with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
Primary Objective: Participants achieving an Objective Response Rate Secondary Objective: - Progression Free Survival - Overall Survival - Response Duration - Safety
The GIMEMA FOUNDATION promotes an observational (retrospective) study on number and outcome of pregnancy in childbearing age female patients treated with chemotherapy for APL. These patients were enrolled in studies AIDA0493, AIDA2000 and were in CR.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) in pediatric and adolescent patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and to assess whether this dose of blinatumomab is effective.
Prospective, randomized, double blind trial. The rationale of the study is the concept that fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is still largely used in cardiac surgery, despite the fact that prothrombin complexes and fibrinogen are available.The experimental hypothesis is that cardiac surgery patients may be operated with no use of FFP and with a coagulation factors replacement based on fibrinogen and prothrombin complexes (when needed). Primary endpoint: Transfusion avoidance Secondary endpoints: Transfusion limitation, massive blood transfusion, bleeding. Study population: high-risk adult cardiac surgery patients Sample size : 2 groups of 60 patients each
The purpose of this open label study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daclatasvir plus pegylated interferon-alfa 2a and ribavirin in untreated hepatitis C virus in patients coinfected with HIV
The purpose of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine the best management strategy for higher-risk patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial with 5179 randomized participants with moderate or severe ischemia on stress testing. A blinded coronary computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) was performed in most participants with eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 to identify and exclude participants with either significant unprotected left main disease (≥50% stenosis) or those without obstructive CAD (<50% stenosis in all major coronary arteries). Of 8518 participants enrolled, those that had insufficient ischemia, ineligible anatomy demonstrated on CCTA or another exclusion criterion, did not go on to randomization. Eligible participants were then assigned at random to a routine invasive strategy (INV) with cardiac catheterization followed by revascularization, if feasible, plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) or to a conservative strategy (CON) of OMT, with cardiac catheterization and revascularization reserved for those who fail OMT. SPECIFIC AIMS A. Primary Aim The primary aim of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine whether an initial invasive strategy of cardiac catheterization followed by optimal revascularization, if feasible, in addition to OMT, will reduce the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure in participants with SIHD and moderate or severe ischemia over an average follow-up of approximately 3.5 years compared with an initial conservative strategy of OMT alone with catheterization reserved for failure of OMT. B. Secondary Aims Secondary aims are to determine whether an initial invasive strategy compared to a conservative strategy will improve: 1) the composite of CV death or MI; 2) angina symptoms and quality of life, as assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire; 3) all-cause mortality; 4) net clinical benefit assessed by including stroke in the primary and secondary composite endpoints; and 5) individual components of the composite endpoints.

This non-interventional retrospective study aims to describe the therapeutic procedures and modalities received by patients and the correlation to hormone status, during a one year follow up from completion of the 2-79-52030-207 study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the performance of the Agili-C implants. The study hypothesis is that Agili-C implants are effective in the treatment of focal cartilage and cartilage-bone joint surface defects.
A single arm, single treatment study is proposed to assess the feasibility of a portable artificial pancreas system outside of a hospital based clinical research center. Adult T1DM patients will use a newly developed platform in conjunction with a subcutaneous insulin infusion pump and a continuous glucose monitor for 18 hours is quasi free conditions (hotel).
