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 study's major aim is to investigate the ability of a commercial Electronic Nicotine Delivery Device (E-Cigarette) loaded with low dose nicotine to induce long-term smoking reduction/abstinence in smokers unwilling to quit. Secondary aims are to investigate changes in withdrawal symptoms and cravings and to examine whether concomitant use of the E-Cigarette and smoking is safe. The study will monitor smoking reduction/abstinence effects, changes in withdrawal symptoms, and adverse events of a currently marketed device in Italy ("Categoria" electronic cigarette) using initially for 6 weeks "ORIGINAL" 7.4 mg nicotine cartridges followed by a further 6 weeks of "CATEGORIA" 5.2 mg nicotine cartridges. The primary hypothesis is that the E-Cigarette used in a structured protocol is a safe device that allows smoking reduction or abstinence in smokers possibly by suppressing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
This Phase 3 study has been designed to confirm that adding custirsen to standard first-line docetaxel/prednisone treatment can slow tumor progression and enhance survival outcomes compared to standard first-line docetaxel/prednisone treatment alone. This will be a randomized, open-label, multicenter, international trial. Treatment will consist of docetaxel/prednisone/custirsen vs. docetaxel/prednisone. A total of at least 1000 patients will be randomized. Patients will be randomly assigned with equal probability to the two arms.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCP-Tacro (tacrolimus) Tablets administered once-a-day compared to Prograf (tacrolimus) Capsules twice-a-day as immunosuppression for the prevention of organ rejection in newly transplanted adult kidney transplant recipients. Patients will be treated for a 12 month study period followed by a 12 month, blinded extension treatment period To show that LCP-Tacro Tablets are clinically similar to Prograf Capsules in the prevention of acute rejection.
Hypothesis of the study is that patients undergoing major cardiac surgery can develop extracardiac complications correlated to cardiopulmonary by pass.
At the conclusion of study AZA PH GL 2003 CL 001 (NCT00071799), eligible participants could be enrolled in an optional extension phase in order to continue treatment with azacitidine until it became commercially available; the continued treatment was for ethical and safety reasons only and not to provide additional efficacy data.
The purpose of the Phase IIA study are to: 1. define the safety profile 2. evaluate the efficacy of a sequential infusion of unmanipulated Donor Lymphocyte Infusions (DLI) and Cytokine Induced Killer (CIK) cells for the treatment of molecular, cytogenetic or hematologic relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and The progression free survival and the overall survival after the sequential infusion of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions (DLI) and Cytokine Induced Killer(CIK) cells.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of two doses of FBS0701, a new oral iron chelator, and its effectiveness in clearing iron from the liver. FBS0701 is a medication taken by mouth that causes the body to get rid of iron. Iron chelators are used in patients with β-thalassemia and other forms of anemia who experience iron overload - iron increases in the body as a result of regularly required blood transfusions. Patients who qualify will be randomized to receive one of two doses of FBS0701 for up to 24 weeks (6 months) with a total study duration of up to 33 weeks. These patients will be eligible to participate in a dosing extension for up to 72 weeks. The maximum duration of dosing will be up to 96 weeks. The safety of patients will be monitored frequently during the study by physical exams, ECGs, and blood tests. To assess the amount of iron in the liver and heart, each patient must undergo 6 MRI scans during the study. Patients will not need to stay in the hospital for this study but will need to visit the outpatient clinic up to 28 times over the 96 week period. Patients currently taking an iron chelator will be required to stop for a total of up to 26 weeks. The results of this study will help to determine if FBS0701 may be effective as an iron chelator.
This open-label study, prospective, randomized trial evaluating the acute (in-hospital) pleiotropic and clinical effects of a hydrophilic statin (rosuvastatin) in patients with acute coronary syndrome
This open label, 2-part study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO5083945 in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy. In Part 1 patients will receive RO5083945 intravenously and standard chemotherapy (cisplatin plus either gemcitabine or pemetrexed) for up to 6 cycles of 3 weeks and then RO5083945 until disease progression. In Part 2 patients will be randomized to receive either RO5083945 in combination with standard chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone for up to 6 cycles. In the absence of disease progression, patients receiving RO503945 can continue treatment with RO5083945 as monotherapy.
This study consisted of a two year dose blinded phase during which patients received one of five doses of siponimod (10, 2, 1.25, 0.5 or 0.25mg) following which patients were switched to open label treatment with siponimod 2mg for approximately a further 3 years. It will provide data on long term safety, tolerability and efficacy of siponimod in the RRMS patient population
