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.
Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration represents the gold-standard for the pathological diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions. New needles design allowed to obtain samples suitable for histological evaluation (endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy). the aim was to compare two different techniques during ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy, for diagnosis of suspect pancreatic solid lesions.
To evaluate the efficacy of cannabidiol oral solution (GWP42003-P, CBD-OS) in reducing symptom severity when compared with placebo, in participants with Rett syndrome.
A total of 40 Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients at clinical relapse who progressed during Proteasome Inhibitors (PIs) or Immunomodulating Drugs (IMiDs)-based therapies and who are assigned to antiCD38-based salvage treatments, will be enrolled. We will collect bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) samples from patients at specific timepoints: - baseline (BM, PB and buccal swab) - every 3 month (PB) - achievement of response (≥ Very Good Partial Response (VGPR)) (BM and PB) - relapse or refractory status to antiCD38-based treatments (BM and PB) Samples will be processed and stored in the "Hematological Laboratory" located in the University of Turin (Italy) for various proposed analyses: at specific time-points CD138+ (Plasma Cells-PCs) and marker CD138/19+ (B cells) will be immunomagnetically enriched from the BM mononuclear cells and frozen as viable cells in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); PB mononuclear cells (PBMCs) will be isolated from whole blood by density-gradient centrifugation, and frozen as above; plasma fraction from PB and BM will be obtained by centrifugation and stored frozen; a buccal swab will be obtained at the time of enrollment as a source of control germline DNA and stored frozen.
Patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) require dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Preliminary assessment of the PRECISE-DAPT score is mandatory in order to assess the risk of bleeding while on DAPT. The score takes into consideration age, creatinine clearance, haemoglobin, white blood- cell count and previous spontaneous bleeding. One should consider, however, that some of the variables included in the PRECISE-DAPT score might change with time. As a consequence, the PRECISE-DAPT score should not be considered a static score as it might vary after the initial computation. It remains unknown, however, if the use of the delta PRECISE-SCORE, which reflects the change in score between baseline and follow-up, might help to improve the management of PCI patients in order to decrease the bleeding risk during follow-up.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of oral hygiene changes (drastic plaque and gingival inflammation reduction) on markers of systemic inflammation and indicators of oral health related quality of life and other aspects related to overall well-being. The primary objective is to assess a possible reduction of systemic inflammation as measured through blood bio-markers one month after drastic changes of plaque accumulation. As primary outcome measure, the level of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCR-PHXC in Children and Adults with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) and Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2 (PH2)
A global study to assess the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with bevacizumab or durvalumab alone in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who are at high risk of recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, durability and long-term safety of reloxaliase in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria.
in the last decade, lots of attemps have been done to identify new technologies able to reply the efficacy of gold standard technique for treating BPH, but with a better safety profile. The introduction of laser techniques allowed to reduce complication rates. Among these, considerable importance had Holep and PVP. Aquablation is a recent technique for LUTS treatment. It is minimally invasive, robot-assisted and ultrasound-guided to ablate the prostate in targeted way and in "heat-free" way. It works with high pression water jet. However, in literature informations about disobstructive capacity of minimally invasive techniques, evaluated with invasive urodynamic tests, are low. The enrolled subjects will undergo surgical treatment with one of the techniques under study: Aquablation, HoLEP or PVP. Outpatient visits will be performed at 1, 3 and 6 months after the surgical treatment. During the sixth month visit an invasive urodynamic examination will be performed
This is a single arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of zanubrutinib (BGB-3111) in participants with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma (R/R MZL).
