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.
This is a registry study in children with achondroplasia, age 0-10 years, to be conducted at multiple clinical centers in several countries. Information collected will include in anthropometric characteristics, related symptoms, tests, & treatments Children's information will be collected in the registry for a maximum of 5 years.
Study D9108C00002 (NeoCOAST) is a platform study assessing the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant durvalumab alone or in combination with novel agents in participants with resectable, early-stage (Stage I [>2cm] to IIIA) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The CHARISMA study is a non-randomized, multicenter, prospective study in which consecutive patients indicated for arrhythmia will be enrolled. Patients can be treated with any market released catheter for ablation and diagnostic examination. The decision to perform the ablation will be made based on clinical evaluation of the investigators according to their clinical practice. The study does not require specific surgical techniques. The study has been designed to describe the Italian clinical practice in relation to the ablation approach of different kind of arrhythmias. In particular, the investigators will analyze the percentage of acute and long-term success in clinical practice, predictors of arrhythmias recurrence and they will describe the methods for the validation of ablation success, the techniques adopted, and the patient management approaches in the participating centers
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a 6-weeks treatment of a CE-marked combination oral formulation of hyaluronic acid with chondroitin sulphate and aluminium hydroxide (GERDOFF®), in addition to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) at the standard dose, versus PPI only, in patients with first diagnosed clinical presentation of extra-esophageal GERD symptoms. The investigators verified the reduction of symptoms frequency, using a Likert questionnaire, and severity, using the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) questionnaire, to evaluate the proportion of Responders and Non-Responder patients in these two groups after 6 weeks of treatment, compared to baseline. Moreover investigators evaluated the persistence of effects of GERDOFF® + PPI treatment on extraesophageal symptoms, after a 12-weeks follow up, only in responder patients.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Children or young adults with a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML) might be able to join this study if it has come back after remission or is not responding to treatment.
PIRAMIDE study design will test the hypothesis that simultaneous interactions between DNA methylation and microRNAs may hit T2D candidate genes and predict the development of T2D-related cardiovascular complications.
A Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of paltusotine (formerly CRN00808; an oral selective nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2 biased agonist) in subjects with acromegaly that are responders to octreotide LAR or lanreotide depot.
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is one of the oldest and most common proctologic diseases that has been described with an estimated prevalence between 4.4% and 86%. Despite the proposal of three mechanisms that might underlie haemorrhoidal development - the varicose vein theory, the vascular hyperplasia theory and the sliding anal-lining theory, the exact pathophysiology of symptomatic hemorrhoid disease is poorly understood. HD seems to be the most common cause for rectal bleeding, or hematochezia, and the second most frequent cause for severe rectorrhagia after diverticulitis. The blood is bright red and coats the stool at the end of defection. Other symptoms include pain, mucous discharge, itching or the sensation of tissue prolapse. The most widely accepted classification is the Goligher classification: - Grade I: hemorrhoids bleed but do not prolapse out of the anal canal; - Grade II: hemorrhoidal cushions prolapse outside of the anal canal on straining or during bowel movements, but reduce spontaneously; - Grade III: hemorrhoidal cushions prolapse outside the anal canal on straining and require manual reduction; - Grade IV: hemorrhoidal prolapse is irreducible even with manipulation
The Multicenter FAST (Fast Assessment of STenosis severity) study is a prospective observational multicenter study designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of offline 3D-QCA based FFR, using CAAS Workstation (Pie Medical Imaging, Maastricht, the Netherlands) in identifying hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease with pressure wire-based FFR (≤0.80) as the reference standard.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and obesity tend to coexist and are often associated with arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and insulin resistance [1]. Polysomnography (PSG) is the standard technique for diagnosing OSAS and determining its severity [2]. The results of the examination provide the Apnea-Hypopnea Index [AHI], or the Respiratory Disturbance Index [RDI]), which will be used to quantify apnea and classify its severity based on an international score. In general, an AHI scoring less than 5 is considered "normal" (5-15 mild sleep apnea; >15 moderate sleep apnea; ≥30 severe sleep apnea). In order to improve those parameters in obese patients who have been diagnosed with OSAS and are candidates for BS (BS), national and international guidelines recommend preoperative CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treatment in order to reduce anaesthesia risks [3-6]. Furthermore, several studies report that obese OSAS patients benefit from preoperative weight loss [1,7] (in terms of AHI index, night snoring and arterial hypertension). Obese patients who are candidates for BS often go on a preoperative diet in order to decrease weight and liver volume (especially of the left lobe) and correct any vitamin/mineral deficiency. The results of a recently published study show that 4 weeks of Ketogenic Micronutrient Enriched Diet (KMED) significantly reduce body weight, liver lobe volume and vitamin/mineral deficiencies in obese patients who prepare to undergo BS [8], with resulting foreseeable reduction of intraoperative complications and surgical time. To date, there are no prospective multicenter randomized trials demonstrating whether a preoperative ketogenic diet associated with CPAP use improves OSAS versus treatment with CPAP alone, with the possibility of reducing the preoperative treatment period. Aim of the study: To assess the clinical advantage in combining two preoperative strategies (CPAP + KMED) compared to preoperative treatment with CPAP alone, for the reduction of surgical risks in morbidly obese patients with severe OSAS who are scheduled for BS.
