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.
Prevention of invasive fungal infection in high risk patients following liver transplant.
Magnetic Esophageal Sphincter implant is intended to reinforce Esophageal Sphincter function in the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
A medical device to augment weak lower esophageal sphincter function.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with metastatic prostate cancer who have not received chemotherapy live longer when treated with ipilimumab than those treated with a placebo
The purpose of this trial is to estimate progression free survival in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer that have not received chemotherapy in this setting.
There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of proliferating IHs with a good benefit/risk profile. Based on the recent findings of encouraging results obtained with propranolol in a series of infants with severe Infantile Hemangioma (IH), propranolol is expected to be of significant benefit in the management of the condition. The present study has been designed to confirm efficacy of propranolol in severe IH by demonstrating superiority over placebo and to document the safety profile of propranolol in this indication.
The primary endpoint for this study is the clinical response after 12 weeks of treatment, defined as a change in total score from baseline depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-Amended (BDI-IA) total score.
The aim of this study is to describe Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in adolescents and adults with Hemophilia A treated prophylactically or on-demand with Helixate NexGen. The study will also assess the kinds of determinants, including key transitional life events, that might impact HRQoL in this patient population.
STUDY AIMS 1. To determine the 10-year conversion rate from pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) to pigmentary glaucoma (PG) 2. To evaluate the possible protective effect of a Yag-laser iridotomy
The impact on cardiovascular events achieved by statin therapy seems to be mostly attributable to the cholesterol-lowering effect with a highly debated contribution of the lipid-independent pleiotropic effects. However, a short-term benefit has been documented for patients treated with statins in acute coronary syndromes and other clinical settings. These observations strengthened the hypothesis of additional, so-called pleiotropic actions of statins. The investigators therefore sought to investigate how different lipid-lowering strategies (non-statin therapy, low-dose statin and high-dose statin) affects cellular composition of carotid plaque over a short-term period of three months. Specifically the investigators tried and dissect the LDL-C lowering impact on plaque cellular composition as compared to the lipid-independent contribution on plaque macrophage and smooth muscle cells.
