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.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of raloxifene orally administered compared to placebo in patients with early diagnosis of paucisymptomatic COVID-19. Primary objectives: - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who still have viruses in the upper airways after 7 days of therapy - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who requires supplemental oxygen therapy and/or mechanical ventilation within 14 days of starting therapy Secondary objectives: - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who still have viruses in the upper airways after 14 and 28 days of therapy - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subject patients who requires supplemental oxygen therapy and/or mechanical ventilation within 7 or 28 days of starting therapy - 7, 14 and 28 days drug safety and tolerability profile - Assessment of body temperature, blood and biochemical parameters between T0 and T28
A randomized, double-blind, study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of Dexketoprofen trometamol and Tramadol hydrochloride combination versus placebo on moderate to severe acute pain in patients with acute low back pain.
The study aims at evaluating the feasibility and the efficacy of the Teen On-line Problem Solving program (TOPS) in improving executive functioning and behavior problems in adolescents with neurological condition aged 11-19 years. In order to control for placebo effects, participants are randomized into two intervention conditions. Group 1 performs the regular version of the TOPS, while Group 2 performs a modified version containing no activities on executive functions, behavioral strategies and social skills.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, tolerability, and toxicity of docetaxel alone, in combination with BMS-986218, or in combination with nivolumab plus BMS-986218 in men who have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that progressed after novel antiandrogen therapy and have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC.
The goal of asthma management is to achieve and maintain optimal asthma control. The NEWTON study assesses the evolution over time of patient reported outcomes (PROs) in asthmatic patients, not adequately controlled with ongoing treatments and initiating therapy with extrafine beclometasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate (BDP/FF) via NEXThaler.
This study will investigate the correlation of fecal calprotectin (FC) values to quiescent ulcerative colitis and to disease activity (relapse) as assessed by clinical data and endoscopy.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, reaching the 31% of deaths in 2012. CVDs represent also the major cause of disability in developed countries and has been estimated that their growing burden could lead to a global increase in loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALY), from a loss of 85 million DALYs of 1990 to a loss of ~ 150 million DALYs in 2020, becoming a major cause of no psychic responsible for lost productivity. Several risk factors contribute to the aetiology and development of CVD. These factors have been traditionally stratified into modifiable risk factors through the lifestyle changes or by taking a pharmacologic treatment (e.g. hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia) and not modifiable risk factors (age, male sex and family history). Essential hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor in the general population, with a prevalence in Western Countries -including Italy- ranging between about 25-45%. Given the large prevalence of the disease of the general population, hypertension is responsible for the vast majority of CVD in individuals with different CV risk profiles, despite the availability of effective and well tolerated antihypertensive therapies. In this regard, several reports have shown that hypertensive patients often present additional CV and metabolic risk factors, mostly hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, which further contribute to increase the individual risk of developing hypertension-related complications, including stroke, end-stage renal disease, congestive heart failure, and CVD death. The concomitant presence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia is also responsible for the objective difficulty in achieving the recommended therapeutic targets for BP and cholesterol levels in a setting of clinical practice. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been proposed for ameliorating the relatively low rates of control of hypertension. Among these, an extensive use of nutrients and food supplements has been shown to provide favourable effects in the management and control of high-normal blood pressure (BP) (or pre-hypertension), that increases the risk of developing hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and renal failure.
Invasive blood pressure (IBP) is the gold standard for arterial pressure (AP) monitoring in critically ill patients. Nevertheless, IBP may be affected by underdamping/resonance artifacts, that eventually lead to AP overestimation. In these cases, when a pulse contour method is applied, wrong hemodynamic data are also delivered by the monitor. In order to overtake this issue, MostCareUp (a PCM powered by Pressure Recording Analytical Method, PRAM), has been implemented with a dynamic electronic filter (EFMC) that automatically corrects the resonant AP waveform. In order to test the EFMC, the electronically corrected AP and the derived cardiac output were compared with respective raw data corrected with the Accudynamic, an adjustable damping device specifically manufactured for normalizing the pressure waveform (in our study: the reference method).
This aim of this study is to investigate the LUS in the pregnancy following a previous cesarean section with the use of barbed or conventional smooth suture.
Aim of this study is to implement the intestinal microbiota by perioperative administration of probiotics, oral antibiotics and low volume mechanical preparation in order to reduce the incidence of colorectal anastomotic leaks and dehiscences.
