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 main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, to establish the recommended dose, and to evaluate the antitumor effect of CD7-CART01 in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL).
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity and safety of novel immunotherapy combinations compared with dostarlimab in participants with Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive Recurrent/Metastatic (R/M) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC).
Insomnia, defined as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early at least three times a week for at least 3 months, (American Psychiatric Association 2013) is a common disorder both in the general population and in cancer patients, but it is particularly common in breast cancer patients. (Davidson JR, 2002) (Savard J, 2001). Unfortunately, this issue is often not recognized and is not adequately addressed in common clinical practice (Zhou ES, 2017). Emotional distress, stress after surgery, and side effects of cancer treatments, particularly those related to hormone therapy, all contribute to the onset of insomnia, which, in turn, can contribute to a poor quality of life, to greater fatigue in carrying out daily life activities, to worsening physical and emotional discomfort (Kyle SD, 2010) (Bolge SC, 2009) (Sarsour K, 2011). To date, insomnia in common clinical practice is an often overlooked problem. Patients report that healthcare providers rarely pay attention to sleep disorders and even if they are evaluated, treatment recommendations tend to focus primarily on prescribing medications (Siefert ML, 2014). Gemmotherapy is a young branch of phytotherapy developed in the second half of the last century. This branch bases its principles on the therapeutic potential of the meristematic tissues of plants and uses products called glycerine macerates (GM) obtained according to the method of cold maceration of meristematic tissues in water, alcohol and glycerol created by Dr. Pol Henry in the last century or according to the Pharmacopoeias. The use of concentrated GM (C-GM) has spread (Andrianne, 2008 and 2012). These C-MGs are approximately 10 times more concentrated than traditional GMs, and are therefore traditionally used at lower doses (adults: approximately 5-15 gtt/day) than those used for diluted extracts (adults: up to 1 gtt/kg/day ). Tilia tomentosa, whose fresh buds are used, is traditionally indicated in all cases of insomnia in adults and children. Its action is carried out by inducing sleep and increasing its duration. In phytotherapy it is recommended in neuroses but also as an antispasmodic, in heart palpitations and in spasmophilia. No type of acute or chronic toxicity is known for this C-GM. In the proposed study we want to evaluate the action of C-GM from Tilia tomentosa, extracted according to the Pharmacopoeias, for the treatment of insomnia in patients with breast cancer on hormone therapy.
Walking difficulties are common symptoms after stroke, significantly reducing quality of life. Walking recovery is therefore one of the main priorities of rehabilitation. Wearable powered exoskeletons have been developed to provide lower limb assistance and enable training for persons with gait impairments by using typical physiological movement patterns. Exoskeleton were originally designed for individuals without any walking capacities, such as subjects with a complete spinal cord injury. Recent systematic reviews suggested that lower limb exoskeletons could be valid tools to restore independent walking in subjects with residual motor function, such as persons post-stroke.The aim of the study was to identify the end-users needs and to develop a user-centered-based control system for the TWIN lower limb exoskeleton to provide an efficient post-stroke rehabilitation of gait. The investigators thus carried out the development and validation through evaluation sessions performed on healthy clinical experts and persons with stroke to evaluate TWIN-Acta usability, acceptability, and barriers of usage. A phase two includes a pilot study of efficacy of using the TWINActa for gait rehabilitation for persons with stroke.
Currently, despite the advent of next-generation imaging has improved the detection of Oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC), prognostic biomarkers able to stratify patients and monitor treatment response are lacking and urgently needed. Mounting evidence suggests that molecular profiling of the disease and host immune activity evaluation can reveal OMPC heterogeneity and address the above unmet clinical need. This study aims at combining the analysis of several biomarkers to improve the prognostic stratification of OMPC patients
The aim of the "626 Giochiamo" project is to realise and evaluate the effectiveness of a training course involving the use of games, which helps to convey the basic principles of health and safety in the workplace.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with a prevalence of up to 30% among adults over 45 years old. Moreover, elderly people over 60 years are more prone to develop a chronification of pain symptomatology. Chronic pain in OA enormously restricts patients' ability to perform their daily activities, eliciting psychological distress and mood alterations, and producing massive socioeconomic consequences. For these reasons, any non-invasive drug-free treatment that decreases chronic pain in OA requires serious evaluation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA).
The NOVAMag® membrane is a medical device approved in the EU, and is a completely resorbable and biodegradable metal membrane. This medical device is used in the treatment of bone defects in the oral cavity. The membrane ensures sufficient stability of the bone augmentation material and provides a barrier to the soft tissue. This enables new bone to form in the defect space and for the subsequent placement of dental implants. In this clinical trial, the NOVAMag® membrane is compared with the Jason® collagen membrane, another medical device for supporting bone regeneration, with the aim of demonstrating the non-inferiority in terms of radiographically measured volumetric bone gain of the NOVAMag® membrane to the comparator membrane.
Accurate preservation of neuro-vascular bundles is crucial in guaranteeing erectile function recovery after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, the nerve sparing approach is associated with higher rates of positive surgical margins (PSM) at final pathology. Augmented reality (AR) RARP was previously associated with a 10-15% reduction in the rates of PSMs in two retrospective series. However, prospective studies are needed to demonstrate clinical utility and to validate these technologies. The hypotheses of this study are that: 1) AR RARP reduces the rates of PSMs, if compared to standard approach; 2) AR RARP can guarantee a more accurate preservation of neurovascular bundles and, in consequence, a greater recovery of erectile function; 3) the lower rates of PSMs will translate in greater oncological control of the disease.
Superior cluneal nerve entrapment (SCN) is a painful symptomatic condition related to compression by the thoracolumbar and gluteal bands of nerve outcrop, above the iliac crest. This syndrome is not considered in the classical differential diagnosis of lumbosacral spine disorders and is almost unknown in Italy. It is a neuropathic pain, acute, subacute, or chronic, evoked by mechanical stress at the level of the sensory territory corresponding to the superior cluneal nerve, easily found anatomically and evoked at a trigger point on the posterior iliac crest approximately 70mm from the midline and 45mm from the posterior superior iliac spine. SCN entrapment syndrome represents a not so infrequent syndrome. It is easily framed and treatment is effective in most cases. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome represents an excellent option in all those patients with low back pain that cannot be otherwise framed and resolved.
