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.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains an incurable disease with frequent relapses and no standard therapeutic options in case of relapse. Prolongation of remissions or induction of longer remissions is therefore crucial. Recently, a synergistic increase in the proteasomal inhibition of ibrutinib in both bortezomib-sensitive and refractory MCL cells was shown. These findings, along with the reported single agent activities of both drugs and the non-overlapping toxicities, are the rationale to combine ibrutinib and bortezomib in MCL in this trial
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of MEN1112, given as intravenous infusion, in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Pharmacokinetics, clinical activity and potential immunogenicity of MEN1112 will be evaluated as well.
This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study in children 2 to 17 years of age with OI to evaluate efficacy and safety of denosumab.
This extension study will allow participants to continue receiving treatment with HGT-1410 and to initiate treatment in patients who received no-treatment in Study HGT-SAN-093, and will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the study drug.
Recent evidences suggest that zoledronate (zol), one of the most used bisphosphonates (BPs) in the clinical setting for the prevention and treatment of bone metastasis in cancer patients, may have antitumor activity in early breast cancer in terms of improved disease free survival, overall survival and better response in BPs treated patients. BPs are mevalonate pathway inhibitors and one of the most intriguing hypothesis supporting their anticancer activity relies on the modulation of the mevalonate downstream metabolism. Biologically active mevalonate metabolites are involved in tumour cell proliferation and invasion and selected cancer subtypes may present a more pronounced mevalonate activity, able of maintaining an aggressive phenotype. The mevalonate pathway has deep impact on the function of YAP/TAZ, transcriptional regulators of tumour growth, and preclinical evidences suggest that BPs are able to interfere with YAP/TAZ expression, via mevalonate pathway. This study addresses the clinical role of BPs in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients selected by the level of mevalonate pathway regulation, namely the p53 expression. This study is a multicenter single-arm, phase II study primarily aimed at assessing the anti-tumor activity of pre-operative zol measured through its effect on the Ki67 proliferative biomarker, in TNBC patients classified according to the p53 expression (high vs low p53 expression). Patients with newly diagnosed, untreated, operable TNBC, intended to definitive breast surgery and suitable for pre-operative therapy with zoledronate will receive a pre-operative, single administration of zol (4mg i.v.), 7 days before definitive breast surgery. Ki67 levels will be assessed in tumor samples collected at the time of diagnosis and after zoledronate treatment at the time of definitive surgery. The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of zoledronate on critical genes/proteins related to p53 and mevalonate pathways, p53/PIN1 and YAP/TAZ, analyzed in the tumor tissue collected at the time of diagnosis and at definitive surgery. Zol safety profile will be evaluated by the NCI-CTCAE scale, version 4.0, and by the occurrence of serious adverse reactions. The total number of patients required is forty. The overall duration of the project is 32 months (30 months for accrual, followed by 2 months of follow-up after the recruitment of the last patient).
The aim of the investigators work is to describe the agreement between NIRS and ecodoppler, as monitoring systems of liver and kidney graft's perfusion in the immediate postoperative period in pediatric patients.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of natalizumab compared to fingolimod on the evolution of new on-treatment T1-gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions to persistent black holes (PBH) over 52 weeks. The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are to assess the effect of natalizumab compared to fingolimod on: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of central nervous system (CNS) tissue destruction as measured by the number of new T1-Gd+ lesions; various other MRI measures of disease activity; No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA); Relapse on treatment over 52 weeks; The change in information processing speed as measured by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, antitumor activity and pharmacodynamics of BMS-986148 administered alone and in combination with nivolumab in patients with mesothelioma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer.
This study will determine the effect of QPI-1007 on visual function in subjects with recent-onset NAION and assess the safety and tolerability of intravitreal injections of QPI-1007 in this population. This study will also evaluate the structural changes in the retina following administration of QPI-1007.
This international, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of taselisib + fulvestrant with that of placebo + fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative, oncogene that encodes for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PIK3CA)-mutant, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after recurrence or progression during or after an aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. There will be a 2:1 randomization to the taselisib arm versus the placebo arm. Enrollment will be enriched for participants with PIK3CA mutant tumors via central testing. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 3.5 years.
