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 non-interventional, multi-country, multi-centre, multiple cohort prospective study, with retrospective collection of prior medical/treatment history data from medical records, designed to assess the real-world outcomes and safety of atezolizumab for indications in the existing label in the real world setting of routine clinical practice.
A two-period, two-treatment, crossover study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of amifampridine phosphate in ambulatory patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) Type 3.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of two CFZ533 dose regimens in liver transplant recipients.
The TEMPLAR project is an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study involving several community pharmacies spread all over Italy. The aim of the project, the currently largest Italian ABPM Registry, is to analyze the 24-hour ABPMs performed in community pharmacies enabled for this service in accordance with the current Italian regulations, in order to evaluate the level of BP control in the community and to provide scientific evidence on the usefulness of a telehealth network involving the pharmacist for the screening and control of hypertension.
Stoma reversal is associated with high incidence of post-surgical complications, including Surgical Site Infections (SSI). Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been successfully applied to surgical wound management, reducing the SSIs incidence. This is a randomized open-label trial to assess the efficacy of NPWT in decreasing the rate of SSI after stoma reversal.
This is an observation pilot trial aimed to study to the association between mindfulness and other psychological factors, including both protective and risk factors, with recovery of functional ability following colorectal cancer surgery.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of ABBV-951 (Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa) in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). This was a single-arm study with preplanned analyses conducted by dose subgroup (Low Dose or High Dose) based on the modal total daily dose (most frequent dose) over the treatment period.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral administration of simvastatin plus rifaximin in patients with decompensated cirrhosis to halt the progression of the disease as assessed by prevention of the development of ACLF
This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A (AGN-151607) injections into the epicardial fat pads, foci of ganglionic plexi, to prevent Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing open-chest cardiac surgery.
Background. Depression is a highly frequent condition in the elderly, with a huge impact on quality of life, life expectancy, and medical outcomes. SSRIs are commonly prescribed in elderly depressed patients and, although generally safe, they may be associated with tolerability issues. Based on available studies, vortioxetine is likely to have a promising tolerability profile in the elderly, as it does not adversely affect psychomotor or cognitive performance, wakefulness, body weight, and electrocardiogram parameters. Objectives. Assessing the comparative tolerability, safety and efficacy of vortioxetine compared with the SSRIs as a group (including sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine) in elderly patients affected by major depression. The primary outcome will be the withdrawal rate due to adverse events. Methods. This is a pragmatic, multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, superiority, randomized trial. Twelve Italian Community Psychiatric Services will consecutively enrol elderly patients suffering from an episode of major depression who get in contact over a period of 12 months. By employing the web-based application RedCap, doctors will be able to randomize patients to vortioxetine or one of the SSRIs, chosen on the basis of clinical judgment, and to collect basic socio-demographic and clinical data. Trained and blinded assessors will administer five validated rating scales: Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Antidepressant Side-Effect Checklist (ASEC), EuroQual 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), Charlson Age-Comorbidity Index (CACI), and Short Blessed Test (SBT). Patients will be assessed after 1, 3 and 6 months. Expected results. On the basis of current literature, the investigators hypothesize vortioxetine to be superior to SSRIs as a group in terms of tolerability. As vortioxetine is expected to reduce the withdrawal rates due to adverse events of about 12% compared to SSRIs, and assuming that about 23% of the participants could be lost within 6 months, the investigators aim to enrol 358 patients (179 in each group).
