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 purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and activity of zilucoplan (ZLP) in pediatric study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
This study will monitor patients during the first year following their stroke. Stroke is a very serious condition where there is a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain. The main aim of the study will be to find out how many of those who experience their first-ever stroke then go on to develop spasticity that would benefit from treatment with medication. Spasticity is a common post-stroke condition that causes stiff or ridged muscles. The results of this study will provide a standard guideline on the best way to monitor the development of post-stroke spasticity.
Stroke is the third most common cause of disability worldwide and leads to upper limb motor disease in more than half of people affected. Recent data demonstrate that upper limb rehabilitation can be pursued using techniques such as the observation of action (Action Observation Therapy - AOT) or the stimulation of limb musculature using surface electrodes (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation - NMES). To date, no rehabilitation studies used both the treatments (AOT-NMES) for the rehabilitation of upper limb after stroke. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy of this combined approach (AOT-NMES) in people who developed upper limb motor impairment after stroke. The main question this study aims to answer is if the rehabilitation performed using both action observation and neuromuscular stimulation has an higher efficacy than the use of AOT alone and higher than the observation of non-motor stimuli. Participants will be people with upper limb impairment after stroke and will perform 15 rehabilitation sessions (5/week, 6 weeks, 60 minutes each). Each participant will be casually included in one of following three rehabilitation groups: - Action observation associated with neuromuscular stimulation (AOT-NMES, experimental condition): they will observe upper limb movements while their arm muscles will be stimulated. After the observation phase they will try to perform the same movements with the impaired arm. - Action observation alone (AOT): subjects will observe upper limb movements and after the observation phase then they will try to execute them with the impaired arm. - Motor-neutral observation (MNO): subjects will observe non-movement videos and after the observation phase they will try to execute upper limb movements with the impaired arm. Each participant will be evaluated for motor function before and after rehabilitation treatment and researchers will compare the motion improvement between the groups to assess the efficacy of AOT-NMES over other treatments.
Re-irradiation in gliomas is a therapeutic option at recurrence before of 2nd-line chemotherapy. The dose of re-irradiation with conventional fractionation is unfortunately limited by the risk of symptomatic radionecrosis that is significant for cumulative doses above 100 Gy. The use of unconventional low dose rate pulsed radiotherapy (pLDRT) can reduce the risk of radiotoxicity while taking advantage of the cellular hyper-radiosensitivity that occurs at low dose-rates. The present study therefore aims at evaluating whether the use of pLDRT in the re-irradiation of recurrences of gliomas allows maintaining a low risk of symptomatic radionecrosis even for cumulative doses greater than 100 Gy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of forimtamig when administered alone or in combination with carfilzomib or daratumumab or other combination partners in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM). The study consists of two phases: a dose exploration phase and a dose-expansion phase.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with Nivolumab in Subjects with Treatment-Naïve Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of ALE.C04 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, to characterize pharmacokinetics profile of ALE.C04, recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) for ALE.C04 in combination with pembrolizumab and as monotherapy and to assess anti-tumor activity of ALE.C04 monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with Head and Neck Cancer.
In Italy, the incidence of lung cancer for the year 2020 has been estimated at about 41.000 new diagnoses. Patients with lung cancer experience debilitating symptoms caused by the disease itself and cancer treatments, such as dyspnea and fatigue, which reduce physical function and quality of life (QoL). It is estimated that 90% of patients undergoing chemotherapy and 57% of patients undergoing lung resection suffer of Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF). Previous studies have shown that educational interventions and aerobic and resistance exercise are effective in improving CRF and QoL in patients with lung cancer. However, to date the optimal dose, mode and timing to deliver the intervention during the care pathway for lung cancer patients is unknown. Tolerability and frequency of cancer treatment could be a barrier to adherence to the intervention. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a rehabilitation intervention aimed at improving CRF with respect to timing of delivery: early vs delayed rehabilitation in lung cancer patients.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility of a single cell mutation research method in a panel of known oncogenes, using the Tapestri method. Tissue samples will be obtained after surgical treatment in patients with I-II-III stage NSCLC.
The goal of this observational, cross-sectional, prospective study is to compare the quality of the image obtained on the upper abdomen organs with a low-field 0.4 T MRI system with the one obtained with a high-field 1.5 T MRI system, taken as a comparator and reference device. The study is conducted on 40 consecutive adults, not vulnerable, patients who are already scheduled for diagnostic imaging examinations on the upper abdominal organs with the reference device.
