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 is a phase 3, randomized, controlled study of IMC-F106C plus nivolumab compared to standard nivolumab regimens in HLA-A*02:01-positive participants with previously untreated advanced melanoma.
This is a randomized, parallel group, double-blind Phase 2 study that consists of 2 parts. In Part A the safety of the highest dose-level of frexalimab in adults (age range 18-35 y.o.) will be established. In Part B, a dose-finding study (adolescents and young adults, 12-21 y.o.) evaluating the safety and efficacy of 3 age-adjusted dose-levels of frexalimab in comparison with placebo in participants with newly diagnosed T1D on insulin treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of different dose-levels of frexalimab, by assessment of preservation of endogenous insulin secretion in participants with newly diagnosed T1D aged 12 to 21 years compared with placebo on top of standard insulin therapy, and to determine the dose-response relationship and minimal efficacious dose in Part B. Study details include: - Screening period: at least 3 weeks and up to 5 weeks (Up to 11 days may be required to get investigational medicinal product [IMP] on site. Enrollment date of the participant must take into consideration this constraint.) - Double-blind treatment period (104 weeks): -- Main treatment period: 52 weeks -- Blinded extension: 52 weeks - Safety follow-up: 26 weeks (not applicable for participants entering the open-label study) The treatment duration will be up to 104 weeks, the total study duration will be up to 135 weeks.

It is estimated that approximately 15% to 20% of the subjects with sigmoid diverticulosis will develop acute diverticulitis, with diverticular abscess as the most common complication of sigmoid diverticulitis. While cases with free perforations and diffuse peritonitis require emergency surgery, in cases with contained perforation and abscess formation, the approach is initially conservative. Due to its relative rarity, the treatment of diverticular abscess is not based on high-quality scientific evidence. Abscess size of 4-6 cm is generally accepted as reasonable cutoff determining the choice of treatment between antibiotic therapy and antibiotic therapy plus percutaneous drainage of the abscess. A subgroup of patients will fail the conservative approach and require a surgical rescue strategy. However, the real incidence for conservative treatment failure after non-operative management of acute diverticulitis with abscess remain poorly understood, the knowledge of which could improve decision-making processes, treatment strategies, patient counseling, and even modify the planned treatment strategy in patients deemed at highest risk. The early recognition of patients who show clinical signs of ongoing and worsening intra-abdominal sepsis due to perforation is important to ensure the success of this strategy. In the light of these, knowledge of risk predictors for failure is of utmost importance. Owing the contrasting evidence summary, we set up a multicenter retrospective cohort study that merges the cases from twelve high-volume centers for emergency surgery in Italy to assess the short-term outcomes of initial non-surgical treatment strategies for AD with abscess formation (Hinchey Ib and II) in a large number of patients, and identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes, to help facilitate appropriate patient selection and assess the optimal treatment strategy for this peculiar subgroup of patients. The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence and risk factors for conservative treatment (antibiotics alone or antibiotics plus percutaneous drainage) failure after non-operative management of acute diverticulitis with abscess using a large multicenter patient series. The present study is designed as a multicenter retrospective observational study conducted at twelve secondary and tertiary Italian teaching surgical centers on CT-diagnosed hemodynamically stable patients (≥18 years) with perforated acute diverticulitis with abscess (with or without extraluminal air) initially treated non-surgically. The rate of failure of non-operative treatment for complicated acute diverticulitis patients with abscess formation and the risk factors of failure of the non-surgical treatment will be assessed. Failure of the conservative treatment is defined as lack of clinical improvement in the general conditions of the patient during index hospital admission, requiring urgent surgery to treat intra-abdominal sepsis.
The neuro-psychomotor development of children is influenced by multiple factors that play a crucial role in determining normal development or the onset of difficulties and atypicalities. Among these, the environmental context plays a fundamentally relevant role in modulating the child's abilities. Previous studies have compared children who have lived in foster care for at least 8 months with children who have always been within their own family nucleus, highlighting deficits in growth, development, and cognitive and behavioral skills in the former. The aim of this project is to assess the effect of the environmental context on the development of executive functions and adaptive abilities in adopted children. Executive functions involve cognitive processes such as initiation, planning, organization, and regulation of behavior, while adaptive abilities include skills that allow the child to respond to demands from the external environment. The project is conducted in two phases: a retrospective and a parallel prospective phase. The retrospective phase involves the analysis of the clinical records of adopted children in school age at the Pediatric, Child Neuropsychiatry, and Clinical Psychology units of the Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli IRCCS. The prospective phase consists of evaluating executive functions and adaptive abilities using specific tools recommended by the Italian Society of Child Neuropsychiatry, including the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales for adaptive abilities and a series of specific tests for executive functions, included in the document "Assessment of attention and executive functions in developmental age: review of Italian instruments and proposal of a battery for in-depth analysis." Additionally, to assess internalizing or externalizing behavioral aspects, parents will complete the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) questionnaire. Through this study, the investigators aim to deepen the understanding of the role of the environmental context in the neuro-psychomotor development of adopted children, with particular attention to executive functions and adaptive abilities. The results obtained may provide valuable information for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and for the implementation of targeted interventions aimed at the optimal support of these children during their growth and development journey.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of Connettivina Bio, when used in the management of wounds.

The study will include Italian healthcare facilities.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop an artificial intelligence-based model to assess radiogenomics signature of colon tumor in patients with stage II-III colon cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can artificial intelligence-based algorithm of radiomics features combined with clinical factors, biochemical biomarkers, and genomic data recognise tumor behaviour, aggressiveness, and prognosis, identifying a radiogenomics signature of the tumor? Participants will - undergo a preoperative contrast-enhanced CT examination; - undergo surgical excision of colon cancer - undergo adjuvant therapy if deemed necessary based on current guidelines
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the lateral sinus lift procedure using the tunnel technique flap in comparison to the traditional lateral sinus lift in partially or totally edentulous patients with loss of teeth in the maxillary premolar or molar areas and severe alveolar atrophy. The primary questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the tunnel flap technique more suitable for lateral sinus lift than the trapezoidal flap technique in terms of post-operative symptoms? 2. Is the tunnel technique safer and more effective than the trapezoidal flap technique in terms of complication rate and the effectiveness of bone grafting? Participants will undergo the lateral sinus lift procedure using the tunnel technique, which involves making a vertical anterior incision. Patients will receive follow-up care, including phone contact the day after the procedure to detect any issues, and they will keep a diary during the week after surgery to record visual analog scale (VAS) pain values and analgesics taken. Follow-up surgical visits will be scheduled for suture removal and at 30 days after suture removal. After 6 months, dental implants will be inserted, and prosthetic rehabilitation will take place 6 months later. Implants will be monitored for up to 12 months after prosthetic rehabilitation. Researchers will compare the outcomes of tunnel flap technique lateral sinus lift with the trapezoidal flap sinus lift.
Some research studies have demonstrated that autologous micrografts made out of different oral tissues may enhance tissue regeneration. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a combined approach using an autologous micrograft derived from the palatal mucosa with an alloplastic scaffold for periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects in terms of clinical attachment level gain (primary outcome) and other secondary outcomes (probing pocket depth reduction, radiographic bone fill) compared to a scaffold alone. Moreover, this study aims to compare early wound healing and patient-reported outcome measures between the two groups.
