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.
Multiple myeloma (MM) with chromosome 17 deletion (del(17p) represents one of the most dangerous genetic variant of this disease, since it is associated with a high level of genomic instability. Del(17p) is present in approximately 10% of patients at diagnosis, and its frequency increases with disease evolution. The adverse prognosis of del(17p) has been observed in patients treated with conventional chemotherapy and new drugs. Only very few studies have suggested an advantage in treating del(17p) MM patients with specific therapies. In particular, several recent trials combining lenalidomide plus dexamethasone with a new agent, suggested that high risk cytogenetics patients may benefit from newest generation drugs. Yet, in all studies, outcome of patients with high risk genetic features have been derived from subgroup analyses, with all the limitations of this approach. To date no trial has been designed with the specific aim to test genotype-adapted therapies. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the combination of daratumumab-pomalidomide-dexamethasone (DPd) in relapsed or relapsed/refractory MM patients harboring del(17p). Treatment of relapsed or relapsed/refractory MM patients harbouring del(17p) is a relevant unmet medical need. A clinical trial designed to test a tailored treatment for this patient population would be a major improvement. In this perspective the combination DPd seems attractive since: - both daratumumab and pomalidomide are therapies not interfering with DNA replication, thus not increasing the intrinsic genomic instability of del(17p) plasma cells. - the POLLUX study has shown that daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide is highly effective in relapsed and relapsed/refractory MM patients.10 - the IFM 2010-02 trial has suggested that pomalidomide may be effective in del(17p) patients. - the DPd combination has been successfully tested in MM patients with advanced disease.
The design of a phase I, open-label, dose finding study was chosen in order to establish a safe and tolerated dose of single agent WVT078 alone and in combination with WHG626 in patients relapses and/or refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM)
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with olaparib (MK-7339) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in adults with previously treated, advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) Homologous Recombination Repair Mutation (HRRm) and/or Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD)-positive solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to find out in the real-world setting, if darolutamide is safe and effective for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. When a patient is enrolled to the study, his/her physician would have already made the decision to treat patient with darolutamide per local standard practice.
The purpose of the study is to assess the incidence of inappropriate shocks at 2 years, in a population of patients undergoing a generator replacement (VR/DR/CRT) or upgrade from a previously implanted ICD (VR/DR)
The purpose of this study is to monitor the use of Altis Single Incision Sling (SIS) in a real world population and collect medical data on effectiveness and to monitor safety of Altis SIS at 12 and 36 months post device implantation in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The OPTIMAL study is a randomized, controlled, multicentre, international study. A total of 800 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI versus qualitative angio(QCA)-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Patients will be consented prior to the PCI procedure and then followed up to 2 years after the index procedure. Patients will be followed-up at 1 month (telephone contact), 12 months (outpatient clinic visit or telephone call) and 24 months (outpatient clinic visit or telephone call) after the index procedure.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Penumbra SMART COIL® System, including the WAVE™ Extra Soft Coils (WAVE) as a fill and finish coil, in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Imaging will be analyzed by an independent core lab to assess aneurysm occlusion rates and perform a comparative analysis between imaging modalities.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3295668 erbumine is safe in participants with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma.
The aim of the present observational study is to evaluate and describe the evolution over time of the fatigue and the quality of life of patients with bone tumor, in Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, Chemotherapy ward, during the chemotherapy treatment and in the first phase of follow-up and to identify possible prognostic factors. Such knowledge is a necessary precondition for identifying patients and the periods most at risk due to the onset of fatigue, so as to be able to hypothesize adequate containment strategies.
