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.
Sunitinib is the registered treatment for first-line therapy of metastatic clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney.Data from the Expanded Access Study have shown activity also in non-clear cell renal cancer (NCCRC). The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the anti-tumor activity and safety of sunitinib as a first-line therapy in metastatic NCCRC patients.
The purpose of this phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy of orally-administered panobinostat in reducing the risk of relapse in patients with classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma who achieved a complete response following high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) with Autologous stem cell transplant(AHSCT).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the effects on liver iron of Deferasirox when given for a long treatment period in patients with transfusion dependent iron overload.
A two-arm, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, single dose placebo-controlled parallel groups study evaluating efficacy and tolerability of 800 mg Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirina C) in adult patients with a common cold during a two hour in patient phase; and a follow-up period of five days of home treatment as required.
To demonstrate that Intrathecal Baclofen (ITB) Therapy, compared to Best Medical Treatment (BMT), has superior efficacy in the treatment of severe spasticity in adult post-stroke patients with generalized spastic hypertonia who have not reached their therapy goal with other treatment interventions assessed by a decrease in the average Ashworth Scale (AS) score in the lower extremities.
The purpose of this explorative trial is to collect preliminary data on efficacy and safety of thymosin alpha 1 given at different doses as an adjuvant to egg-derived H1N1sw monovalent influenza vaccine in hemodialysis patients. The final aim is that of gathering information needed for planning a following confirmatory study on the efficacy and safety of Thymosin alpha 1 in the same indication.
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with or metastatic urothelial cancer or bladder cancer that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-national, multi-center, parallel-arm trial comparing tivozanib to sorafenib in subjects with advanced RCC. The study is designed to compare the PFS, OS, ORR, DR, safety and tolerability, and kidney specific symptoms/health outcome measurements of tivozanib and sorafenib.
The purpose of this study is to identify one or more doses of BMS-650032 that, when used in combination with pegylated-interferon alpha and ribavirin are safe and demonstrate sufficient activity against hepatitis C virus (Genotypes 1 and 4).
Primary Objectives: Aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different sequences of chemotherapeutic agents in order to optimize the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer progressed to a first line chemotherapy with FOLFIRI and bevacizumab. Primary endpoint will be overall survival, defined as the time elapsed from the date of randomization to the date of patient death due to any cause, or the last date the patient was known to be alive. Secondary Objectives Progression free survival, Quality of life, Health resource utilisation and economic evaluation, Toxicity and incidence of adverse events The study regimen includes: Strategy A: FOLFOX-4 followed, after progression, by irinotecan/cetuximab Strategy B: irinotecan/cetuximab followed, after progression, by FOLFOX-4 Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment sequences (with 1:1 ratio) using a block design randomization procedure stratified according to center. The patient accrual period is planned for approximately 36 months. To assess OS, all pts will be followed for up to 18 months after the last patient is randomised. The maximum estimated study duration is approximately 54 months.All statistical analyses will be based on an intention-to-treat approach. CONSORT rules will be applied to describe study flow and protocol deviations.
