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.
Oral selexipag is commercially available in several countries for the treatment of a particular group of pulmonary hypertension (PH) called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether selexipag could be helpful to treat patients with another form of PH called sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension (SAPH).
The problem of anastomotic leak is particularly relevant in rectal surgery. Many risk factors have been recognized in the onset of this complication. Preventing the anastomotic leak can bring benefits to the patient and the health system. Several attempts have been proposed to reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer surgery including suture protection with omental flap and external suture reinforcement by biological glue or mesh. Cyanoacrylate (Glubran 2®) is a synthetic glue with sealing, adhesive and hemostatic properties widely used in surgery. The sealing effect creates an antiseptic barrier against bacteria. The hypothesis is that the application of nebulized cyanoacrylate to the colo-rectal anastomosis in open or laparoscopic/robotic rectal surgery can prevent the leakage
The analgesic effects of Quadratus Lomborum Block II type after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, will be assessed.
Patients scheduled for mastecotmy will be randomized to receive either an ultrasound-guided double space paravertebral block or a PECSII + parasternal block. In both groups, blocks will be performed with 20 ml of ropivacaine 0.75%, plus ropivacaine 0.375% 10 ml for parasternal block only. Postoperative, all patients will receive a morphine PCA. They will follow at 6, 12, 24 months for persistent postoperative surgical pain (PPSP) and cancer recurrence.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment with pamrevlumab or placebo in combination with either gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (G/NP) or FOLFIRINOX in the treatment of participants with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Aim of mechanical ventilation is to improve gas exchange and to unload the respiratory muscles delivering a form of mechanical support to the ventilation. At the same time, it is essential that the support is individually-tailored to avoid the development of muscular atrophy, a process called "ventilatory-induced diaphragm dysfunction" Aim of the present study is that the continuous ultrasonographic assesment of diaphragm function, as obtained by the device under investigation (DiaMon, Respinor AS, Oslo, Norway) is related to the degree of effort of inspiratory muscles, as measured by gold-standard indices such as esophageal and gastric pressure measurement. A secondary aim is that the data assessed by the device are related to a standard ultrasonographic examination performed by expert operators. In particular, we will enroll a population of critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in assisted mode, and we will perform a decremental pressure support trial, with the following aims: 1. to evaluate the performance of a continuous and automated device for the monitoring of diaphragm contractile activity, as compared to standard mechanical indices of respiratory effort such as the pressure-time product (PTP) 2. to evaluate the performance of a continuous and automated device for the monitoring of diaphragm contractile activity, as compared to the ultrasonographic assesment of muscle function performed by an expert operator.
This study was to assess the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the Mesenchymal-epithelial Transition Factor (MET) inhibitor tepotinib combined with the 3rd generation EGFR inhibitor osimertinib in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is a phase 1b, multi-arm, open-label study of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in subjects with AML or high-risk MDS. For all subjects, TP53wt status must be characterized by, at a minimum, no mutations noted in exons 5, 6, 7 and 8. Two treatment arms will enroll subjects in parallel to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary antitumor activity of HDM201+MBG453 (treatment arm 1) and HDM201+venetoclax (treatment arm 2). - In the treatment arm 1, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with MBG453. - In the treatment arm 2, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with venetoclax. Venetoclax dose will be gradually increased (ramp-up) over a period of 4 to 5 days to achieve the daily target dose tested that will be subsequently continued. Upon the completion of the escalation part, MTD(s) and/or RD(s) of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in AML and high-risk MDS subjects will be determined for each treatment arm.
A randomized phase II clinical trial (RADIOSA trial: Radioablation with or without Androgen DeprIvation therapy in metachronous prostate cancer OligometaStAsis). The aim is to compare time to progression between the two study arms: SBRT only or SBRT and hormonotherapy (ADT). The primary objective is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) defined as the absence of new metastatic lesions (local, regional or distant) between the two arms. The secondary endpoints include the comparison of overall survival (OS), biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS), ADT-free survival, local control, treatment-induced acute and late toxicity, time to castration-resistant disease and QoL between the two arms; the development of a dedicated biobanking (collection of plasma and serum) for further biological investigation of predictive/diagnostic factors for personalized treatment; the preliminary evaluation of prognostic biomarkers; the correlation between imaging-derived parameters and treatment outcome.
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) concomitant with weekly paclitaxel for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer . The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
