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 choice of the sedation protocol has a massive impact on the duration of mechanical ventilation and the timing of extubation. Many sedation protocols are described in the literature. The investigators aim to assess if a transdermal fentanyl-based sedation protocol can have an impact on the global Work of Breathing (WOB)
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is one of the major types of cerebral small vessel disease, and a leading cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive decline in elderly patients. Although increasingly detected, a number of aspects including the pathophysiology, the clinical and neuroradiological phenotype and the disease course are still under investigation. The incomplete knowledge of the disease limits the implementation of evidence based guidelines on patient's clinical management and the development of treatments able to prevent or reduce disease progression. The SENECA (SEarchiNg biomarkErs of Cerebral Angiopathy) project is the first Italian multicentre cohort study aimed at better defining the disease natural history and identifying clinical and neuroradiological markers of disease progression. By a multidisciplinary approach and the collection of a large and well phenotyped series and biorepository of CAA patients, the study is ultimately expected to improve the diagnosis and the knowledge of CAA pathophysiological mechanisms.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety of nemolizumab (CD14152) in participants with prurigo nodularis (PN).
This study is investigating how Mim8 works in people with haemophilia A, who either have inhibitors or do not have inhibitors. Mim8 is a new medication that will be used for prevention of bleeding episodes. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). Mim8 will be injected with a thin needle in the skin of the stomach, using a pen-injector. The study will last for up to 44 months. It consists of a main phase (part 1 and part 2) and an extension phase. In part 1, participants will be injected only once with either Mim8 or a "dummy" medicine (placebo) - which one will be decided by chance. In part 2 and the extension phase participants will get an Mim8 injection weekly or monthly.
Here the investigators will perform a double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the synergic effect of low protein diet and prebiotics in reducing the microbial inflammatory uremic toxins.
The observational, non-interventional study will assess the efficacy, safety, prescription and utilization patterns of Tildrakizumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in routine clinical practice.
The EndoRotor® is intended for use (USA labeling) in endoscopic procedures by a trained gastroenterologist to resect and remove tissue, not intended for biopsy, of the gastrointestinal (GI) system including post-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) tissue persistence with a scarred base and residual tissue from the peripheral margins following EMR. In this trial investigators will conduct a post-market, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study for the treatment of subjects with the need for resection of recurrent flat or sessile colorectal lesions where EndoRotor is the primary resection modality of persistent adenoma with a scarred base.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is unavoidably typical of solid organ transplantation. Post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS), characterized by hemodynamic instability at reperfusion of the implanted graft, is a possible complication of liver transplantation. For sure, IRI plays a fundamental role in the multifactorial pathogenesis of PRS. IRI and PRS are associated with a higher risk of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and, consequently, graft failure. Liver grafts from both extended criteria donors (ECD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) are particularly susceptible to IRI and, accordingly, are at higher risk of PRS, EAD and graft failure. Anyway, in the present scenario of organ shortage, such donors greatly contribute to enlarge the organ pool. So, various strategies have been developed for the purpose of a safer use of this kind of grafts. Among them, ex vivo hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) reduces IRI and is beneficial for high-risk liver grafts. The pathogenesis of IRI is an extremely complex downstream inflammation process, involving many different cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. In particular, tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alfa), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and endothelin-1 (ET-1) are crucial in the development of IRI in liver transplantation. In experimental models, cytokine filtration during ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) was proved to be safe and effective in reducing inflammatory response and, thus, pulmonary edema development. Since - in liver transplantation, IRI and PRS are associated with a higher risk of EAD and graft failure - liver grafts from ECD and DCD are particularly susceptible to IRI and are at higher risk of PRS, EAD and graft failure - HOPE of high-risk liver grafts reduces IRI - in solid organ transplantation, various cytokines, chemokines and growth factors are involved in the pathogenesis of IRI - in experimental models of EVLP, cytokine filtration was proved to reduce inflammatory response and subsequent organ damage, our hypothesis is that cytokine filtration during HOPE of high-risk liver grafts may potentiate the beneficial effects of HOPE, further reducing IRI and, consequently, further decreasing the incidence of PRS and EAD. So, the aim of this study is to verify the feasibility and safety of cytokine filtration during end-ischemic HOPE of liver grafts.
The purpose of the present study is to observe and compare -through a biomolecular analysis- the differences in the gene expression and cellular behavior in the early wound healing process -24 hours after injury- between the following three oral tissues: alveolar mucosa, buccal gingiva and palatal tissue. The main hypothesis is that there is a difference in the gene expression and in the cellular behaviour between the three oral tissues studied and this difference can be observed at 24 hours post-injury.
