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.
Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic pelvic malignant lesions
Prospective study of active surveillance, non-randomized, multicentric, in asymptomatic patients over the age of 50 years, not affected by other tumors, with occasional diagnosis of single monolateral solid renal mass equal to or less than 2 cm of diameter. Diagnosis will be performed with chest CT abdomen with contrast and / or MRI abdomen with Gadolinium (Gd); during the first year of active surveillance, the patient's status will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from the diagnosis and, subsequently, according to the schedule of events shown in the table "Event Planning" At the end of the 5 years of follow up, the patient will be entrusted to his / her own treating physician, with indication to perform abdomen and chest x-ray echography every 6 months and thoracic abdomen TAC with contrast and / or MRI abdomen with (Gd) every 2 years up to 10 years from instrumental radiological diagnosis and registration and communication of the possible date of death and cause The primary caregivers and the patient will be contacted annually by the promoter center of the study at the end of the first 5 years of study follow up and the data will be entered in the database by the promoter center. The indication to surgical treatment or ablative treatment will be considered in the following cases: 1. appearance of metastasis 2. increase of the maximum diameter of the renal mass equal to or greater than 4 cm 3. time of doubling of the tumor mass size less than or equal to 12 months 4. appearance of symptoms associated with renal disease (pain, haematuria) 5. appearance of paraneoplastic syndrome (fever, cachexia, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, ranulocytosis) 6. willingness expressed by the patient to undergo surgery or ablative operation In the presence of at least one of the aforementioned criteria, the attending physician can evaluate the possible execution of renal biopsy. The finding of renal biopsy proved negative for neoplasia may allow the continuation of the active surveillance procedure undertaken, independently indi - ding from the presence of one of the above mentioned criteria. If the renal biopsy is negative, the therapeutic decision (continuation of the follow up within the protocol in question, surgery or exit from the protocol) will be agreed between the patient and the patient. In the case of a positive renal biopsy for renal neoplasia, the patient may be a candidate for renal tumorectomy / radical nephrectomy.

The MAS Study is an observational, multicentre, prospective cohort study in Non valvular Atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients treated with one of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) available in Italy for NVAF patients. The general aim is to deepen the knowledge of DOAC treatment in NVAF patients, by measuring the plasma concentration of anticoagulant drugs and their correlation with any adverse events that may occur during treatment.
Damage in vasculitis, as well as in other chronic inflammatory disorders, accrues over time resulting in impairment of quality of life, development of disability and increased mortality. For these reasons, damage represents an important outcome to be assessed and measured both in trials and clinical practice. Currently, the most widely used assessment tool for damage in vasculitis is the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI). However, VDI was developed for a no specific type of vasculitis and it appears to be more suitable for damage assessment in ANCA-associated vasculitis than in Behçet' disease (BD). BD is a chronic and multisystem inflammatory disorder classified among vasculitides. As well as in other vasculitides, disease activity and treatment in BD can result in the development and accumulation of irreversible organ damage, such as blindness, tissue loss and a wide range of neurologic disorders. Recently the OMERACT has defined the Core Set domain of Outcome Measures for BD. Despite damage is included in the OMERACT outcome core set for rheumatic disease, a specific assessment tool for BD is currently not available. The aim of this study is to develop and validate the first tool for describing and measuring organ damage in patients with Behçet Disease (Behçet's disease Overall Damage index - BODI).
The COLT trial is an investigator-driven, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, controlled, prospective, parallel trial, aimed at assessing the efficacy (in terms of overall survival: OS) of liver transplantation (LT) in liver-only CRC metastases, compared with a matched cohort of patients bearing the same tumor characteristics, collected during the same time period and included in a phase III Italian RCT on triplet chemotherapy+antiEGFR
The study aims at assessing that theophylline is effective in patients with no prodromes, normal heart and with low values of plasmatic adenosine compared with a propensity-score matched untreated control population who have received an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) for diagnosis of unexplained or atypical reflex syncope.
