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 primary objective of the study is to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen (ISIS 396443) administered intrathecally (IT) to participants with infantile-onset with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The secondary objective of the study is to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally to participants with infantile-onset SMA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and anti-tumor effect of rociletinib with erlotinib in patients whose tumors have specific EGFR mutations and who have not previously received any treatment for advanced/metastatic EGFR mutated NSCLC. This study is a 'Randomized' Study. This means that upon entering the study, patients will be randomly assigned to be dosed with either rociletinib twice a day or erlotinib once a day. Patients will continue to take either rociletinib or erlotinib until it is no longer beneficial.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group clinical trial with adaptive dose selection in subjects with post-polio syndrome (PPS). The main purpose of this study is to select a dose of Flebogamma 5% DIF and confirm the efficacy of the selected Flebogamma® 5% DIF dose by assessing physical performance, as measured by Two-Minute Walk Distance (2MWD) test. The study will consist of 2 stages, with each stage consisting of a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a treatment period (52 weeks), and a follow-up period (24 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of ixazomib when administered as multiple oral doses at escalating dose levels in participants with lupus nephritis.
No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have yet been performed comparing different treatment options for AmpC or ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. During the last 10 years we have seen an exponentially increasing rate of carbapenem resistance worldwide, including Australia and New Zealand. The investigators urgently need data from well-designed RCTs to guide clinicians in the treatment of antibiotic resistant Gram-negative infections. The investigators face a situation where a commonly used antibiotic for these infections (meropenem) may be driving carbapenem resistance. For this reason, the investigators are seeking to compare a carbapenem-sparing regimen with a carbapenem for the treatment of these infections. Formal evaluation of safety and efficacy of generic antibiotics in the treatment of infection is of immense clinical and public health importance, and no formal trial has yet been conducted to address these issues. The international collaboration between teams of clinician researchers, some of whom are leaders in their field, makes it highly likely that the outcomes of this trial will have a significant impact on clinical practice. The investigators' hypothesis is that piperacillin/tazobactam (a carbapenem-sparing regimen) is non-inferior to meropenem (a widely used carbapenem) for the definitive treatment of bloodstream infections due to third-generation cephalosporin non-susceptible E. coli or Klebsiella species.
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of roniciclib when given in combination with chemotherapy Carboplatin / Etoposide or Cisplatin / Etoposide as first line treatment in patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer. Approximately 140 patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with either roniciclib or placebo in combination with chemotherapy. Roniciclib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. By specifically targeting these proteins, roniciclib in combination with chemotherapy may stop cancer growth. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the progression free survival, i.e. the time the disease is not worsening. The aim is to show that the therapy with roniciclib in combination with chemotherapy prolongs the time the disease is not worsening in this patient population compared to patients receiving placebo in combination with chemotherapy.
Eltrombopag olamine (SB-497115-GR) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that may be beneficial in medical disorders associated with thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in patients with thrombocytopenia from various etiologies (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP], liver disease, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia). Approximately 350 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (175 into the eltrombopag arm and 175 into the placebo arm). Approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled into the azacitidine. Subjects with intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high risk MDS by IPSS, and baseline platelet count of <75 Giga (10^9) per liter (Gi/L) will only be enrolled. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the platelet supportive care effects of eltrombopag versus placebo in combination with the standard of care hypomethylating agent, azacitidine. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of eltrombopag versus placebo on the proportion of subjects who are platelet transfusion free during the first 4 cycles of azacitidine therapy. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease response, and disease progression.
Primary Study Objective(s) The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Rivaroxaban 20 mg (or 15mgqd in case of moderate renal insufficiency) versus warfarin (INR 2.0-3.0) with respect to the occurrence of the cumulative end point of incident acute thrombosis (arterial or venous) confirmed by appropriate imaging studies, major bleedings, and death in triple aPL-positive APS patients. Study Design A multicentre, interventional, prospective, parallel, randomised, controlled, open-label, Rivaroxaban 20 mg qd (or 15mg qd in patients with moderate renal insufficiency) vs warfarin (INR target 2.5), non-inferiority study, in 535 triple aPL-positive APS patients in approximately 40 Internal Medicine and Thrombosis centres. Each local Institutional Review Board will approve the study. Study Population Patients of both sexes, of age 18-75, affected by anti-phospholipid syndrome, with a high probability of recurrences as defined by triple aPL-positivity, are eligible for this study. Primary Outcome variables The primary cumulative outcome measure will be incident acute thrombosis (arterial or venous) confirmed by appropriate imaging studies, major bleeding, or death. Secondary Outcome variables Separate evaluation of arterial and venous thrombosis and all-cause death. 04.27.2015: An amendment has been made. Enrollment permitted till 75 years of age.
Open-label, multi-dose, single-arm, multi-center, Phase 1/2 study conducted in three segments: the Single Patient Dose Escalation Segment (complete), followed by the Multi-Patient Dose Escalation Segment (complete) and the Maximum Tolerated Dose and Schedule (MTDS) Expansion Cohort Segment (closed). Having characterized safety and determined the maximum tolerated dose and schedule, the primary objective of this study now is to assess the anti-neoplastic activity of flotetuzumab in patients with PIF/ER AML, as determined by the proportion of patients who achieve CR or CRh. Starting with Cycle 2, patients who are benefiting from flotetuzumab may receive up to a maximum of 8 cycles of treatment. Patients will receive daily increasing doses of flotetuzumab for the first week of Cycle 1 (Lead-In Dosing) followed by 3 weeks of continuous intravenous infusion at a the assigned dose. Subsequent cycles are each 4 weeks of continuous infusion at the assigned dose. Dosing may continue for up to 8 cycles. Follow up visits may continue for 6 months after treatment is discontinued.
