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.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety of bimatoprost 0.01% ophthalmic solution compared with bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this two-stage phase II study is to assess the efficacy of BKM120, as measured by determining the progression free survival (PFS), in patients with pretreated metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that exhibits PI3K pathway activation. BKM120 will be investigated in two groups of NSCLC patients according to the histology of the cancer: squamous and non-squamous.
This is a multicenter, multi-national, randomized, open-label comparative trial. After screening, the subjects will start down-regulation treatment on Day 21-22 of the cycle. Down-regulation treatment will start within 2 months following the screening visit. The routine long luteal phase protocol for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist treatment will be followed. Once down-regulation has been confirmed, a pregnancy test will be performed just before randomization and start of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) treatment to rule out any pre-existing pregnancy. If the result is negative, the subject will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment arms of the trial: - GONAL-f®: (Liquid Pen; 300 international unit [IU] of per day) stimulation Day 1-5 followed by Pergoveris® (vial/powder, 300 IU per day) from stimulation Day 6 and until required recombinant human chorionic hormone (r-hCG) criterion is met. The dose can be adjusted from stimulation Day 6 (increased or decreased) based upon the subject's ovarian response and according to the center's standard practice. - Pergoveris®: (vial/powder, 300 IU per day) from stimulation Day 1 and until required r-hCG criterion is met. The dose can be adjusted from stimulation Day 6 (increased or decreased) based upon the subject's ovarian response and according to the center's standard practice. Randomization across the two treatment arms will be kept balanced in a 1:1 ratio. Follicular development will be monitored according to the center's standard practice by ultrasound (US) and/or estradiol (E2) levels, until the protocol r-hCG requirement is met (i.e., at least one follicle greater than or equal to [>=] 18 millimeter [mm] and two follicles >=16 mm). After this, a single injection of r-hCG will be administered in order to induce final oocyte maturation. At a time of 34-38 hours after r-hCG administration, oocytes will be recovered vaginally under US monitoring. Oocytes will then be fertilized in vitro and embryos replaced 2-5 days after oocyte recovery. Ovum pick up (OPU), in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer (ET) and luteal support will be performed as per center's standard practice. A post-treatment safety visit will be performed for all subjects who received r-hCG (pregnant and non- pregnant) on Day 15-20 post-hCG. For subjects who have withdrawn from treatment (i.e. after starting Pergoveris® or Gonal-f® but before hCG is given) this visit will take place 20-30 days after their first Pergoveris® or Gonal-f® treatment injection (excluding pregnancy testing).
This observational prospective study will evaluate, according o usual local clinical practice, feasibility of endoluminal revascularization in diabetic patients with type C and D lesions, according to TASC II Criteria. About 300 patients will be treated with usual revascularization procedure. Each patient will be followed at least 12 months to evaluate clinical outcome and limb salvage interventions.
By hypothesising that Interstitial Cystitis is an allergic disorder of the urogenital system that is linked to mast-cells, current therapy with omalizumab may represent a potential non symptomatic strategy for the treatment of IC/BPS
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of KRP203 in clinically active subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus patients, who have demonstrated inadequate response to standard treatment, such as antimalarials.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of deoxycholic acid injection in the reduction of submental fat (fat below the chin).
Study FDC114615 is a two year, multi-centre, randomised, open-label trial to assess the efficacy of Dutasteride plus tamsulosin when compared to the standard practice of watchful waiting, with a defined escalation to tamsulosin in treatment naive men with symptomatic benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Once consented, each subject will undergo screening procedures to ensure the prostate volume and post void residual are within eligible range. If all entry criteria are met, subjects will be randomised (1:1) to receive Dutasteride plus tamsulosin with lifestyle advice or watchful waiting, with lifestyle advice, with a defined escalation to tamsulosin. Escalation will be initiated when no improvement from baseline is scored using the International Prostate Symptom Score (version 2) (IPSS) questionnaire. After randomisation, the subjects return to site at one month, then every 13 weeks until two years of treatment is complete or they are withdrawn. Key assessments, such as Adverse Events (AE's) and concomitant medication monitoring and completion of the quality of life questionnaires are performed at each visit and the data recorded.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BMS-936557 is effective in the treatment of moderate to severely active ulcerative colitis in patients who have had insufficient response and/or intolerance to other medical therapy for ulcerative colitis
Xenon is a gaseous anaesthetic agent registered in several European countries. It has been administered safely during cardiac surgery in pilot studies. In animal studies, xenon decreases the size of experimental myocardial infarction. This 3-arm study will compare xenon, sevoflurane and a propofol-based total intravenous anaesthesia for maintenance of anaesthesia during coronary artery bypass graft surgery conducted with extra-corporeal circulation. Xenon and sevoflurane will be administered before and after extracorporeal circulation. Propofol will be administered during extracorporeal circulation in the three groups of patients. The study will compare the postoperative myocardial damage observed 24 hours after surgery from blood levels of troponin I, a largely accepted biomarker of myocardial necrosis. The main hypothesis is that the myocardial damage observed after xenon administration will not be superior to the damage observed after sevoflurane administration (non-inferiority). The second hypothesis is that the myocardial damage observed after xenon administration will be inferior to the damage observed after total intravenous anaesthesia.
