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.
In the treatment of complex anal fistulas transplant of freshly collected autologous adipose tissue mechanically fragmented or centrifuged adipose tissue (CAT) might be an alternative to in vitro expanded autologous or allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells, showing remarkable efficacy in diverse therapeutic indications. The aim of our study is to evaluate randomly the efficacy and safety of the use of CAT in the healing process of complex anal fistulas, except for Crohn's disease (CD) related fistulas.
To analyze heterogeneity in ADHD experts in last decade advised to look beyond the lists of existing symptoms towards phenotypic measures that can be represented dimensionally and have well-theorized relationships with neurobiological systems, (Sonuga-Barke & Halperin, 2010; Insel et al, 2010; Fair D, Bathula D, Nikolas M, Nigg JT, 2012; Georgiades S, Szatmari P, Boyle M, 2013; Sanislow CA, Pine DS, Quinn KJ, et al, 2013). This is the nucleus of RDoC aims because children and adolescents with ADHD can be characterized in terms of several features that are best represented as dimensions and have well-theorized relationships to biological systems (Cuthbert & Insel, 2013).
The study aims at clarifying whether early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation is able to reduce the need for intubation or death in patients visiting an emergency department (ED) with known or suspected COVID-19 infection and insufficiency respiratory.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the analgesic properties of dexamethasone and to quantify the possible associated postoperative complications, such as wound infections and hyperglycaemia, in patients who underwent lobectomy, segmentectomy or atypical resection surgery with a mini-thoracotomy approach or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
This is a pilot, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-part safety and efficacy study. Subjects will consist of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with persistent hypotension.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of CC-90010 when combined with standard of care treatment, temozolomide (TMZ) with or without radiotherapy (RT) in the newly diagnosed WHO Grade IV glioblastoma (ndGBM).
Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests a role for the dysregulation of endocannabinoid system (ES) in migraine pain, particularly in subjects with chronic migraine. The gene expression of ES components were assayed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with episodic migraine (EM), chronic migraine with medication overuse (CM-MO) and age-matched healthy controls (CT). It was evaluated the protein expression of cannabinoid receptors (CB) 1 and 2 as well as DNA methylation changes in genes involved in ES components.
It has been reported that nearly half of the patients who are hospitalized for Covid-19 pneumonia have on admission old age or comorbidities. In particular, hypertension was present in 30% of the cases, diabetes in 19%, coronary heart disease in 8% and chronic obstructive lung disease in 3% of the patients. Amazingly, in the two major studies published in the Lancet (Zhou F et al Lancet 2020) and in the New England Journal of Medicine (Guan W et al 2020), the weight of the subjects as well their body mass index (BMI) were omitted. However, obesity, alone or in association with diabetes, can be a major predisposition factor for Covid-19 infection. The primary end-point of our prospective, observational study is to assess the recovery rate in patients with diagnosis of Covid-19 pneumonia. Among the other secondary end-points, we intend to find the predictors of the time to clinical improvement or hospital discharge in patients affected by Covid-19 pneumonia.
Hyper-inflammation, caused by a cytokine storm resulting from an exaggerated response of the immune system in the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is considered to represent one of the most important negative prognostic factors in patients infected with sSARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to investigate new treatment options to reduce the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This is intended to address the most urgent need to preserve the access to intensive care unit support to the lowest possible number of patients and may potentially reduce mortality.
The present study is aimed at detecting and measuring mRNA levels of genes involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in biological samples, i.e. in peripheral blood samples of pancreatic cancer (PC) patients and healthy controls, to determine the presence of disease, its progression and risk of recurrence.
