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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept when administered at the maximum approved dose in low-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome participants who require red blood cell transfusions.
IMPORTANT study is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized-controlled, non-inferiority trial with a pragmatic approach involving older patients (≥ 70 years old) with advanced hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, not amenable for curative treatment and without prior therapy for advanced disease, who are suitable to receive CDK 4/6-inhibitors plus endocrine therapy as first line therapy. The study implements two approaches with high level of evidence, namely the use of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) approach in treatment decision making and the use of CDK 4/6-inhibitors as the initial treatment of choice, to investigate whether a common clinical practice (starting dose reduction of CDK 4/6-inhibitors in older patients) with evidence of low certainty can be standardized using a more individualized-based approach. On the basis of baseline CGA assessment, patients will either receive full dose of CDK 4/6-inhibitors plus endocrine therapy (if patients are fit according to CGA) or be randomized to full dose vs. reduced initial dose of CDK 4/6-inhibitors (if vulnerable or frail according to CGA). The study hypothesis is that adjusting the dose according to vulnerability will allow patients to tolerate treatment better without jeopardizing the treatment efficacy. This project has received funding from the European Union's HORIZON 2022 research and innovation actions supporting the implementation of the Mission on Cancer under grant agreement No 101104589.
Pilot study to assess the effect of L-Arg and Vit C liposomal supplementation on mitochondrial function in patients with heart failure, through analysis of the viability of mitochondria isolated from peripheral blood of mononucleate cells (PBMC).
The study aims to investigate the feasibility and adherence of long-term, moderate-intensity different types of physical activity programs for individuals with schizophrenia. Secondary outcomes are related to the control of non-communicable disease risk factors and the improvement of exercise capacity, body composition and cognitive function.
The purpose of this study is to measure the safety and effectiveness of deucravatinib in participants with non-pustular palmoplantar psoriasis and genital psoriasis.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of remibrutinib (LOU064) 25 milligrams (mg) twice a day (b.i.d.) over placebo for 24 weeks and in comparison to omalizumab 300 mg every 4 weeks (q4w) for 52 weeks in participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines (H1-AH).
This three parallel-arms, randomized, multicenter trial is aimed at investigating the value of AI-assisted optical biopsy for differentiating between neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps which will lead to the implementation of cost-saving strategies in screening programs. A cost-effectiveness analyses with the use of modern trial emulation analyses of large observational and clinical trial datasets and real-cost data will be conducted. To improve personalized treatment with a novel colonoscopy CADx risk-prediction tool, the investigators will even develop a novel deep learning algorithm for the optical biopsy of the alternative pathway of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis, namely the serrated pathway and develop cost-effectiveness models of AI-assisted optical biopsy in colorectal cancer screening that provides reliable information to identify cancer risk regardless of physicians' skill.
RENOIR Study: This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Rosnilimab in subjects with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
The MAST-GR study is a randomized controlled interventional trial with parallel treatment arms and 1:1 allocation The primary objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular infiltration of Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with one of minimally manipulated adipose tissue (MM-AT) so as to determine the most effective cellular product in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The secondary objective is to demonstrate whether intra-articular infiltration of BMAC or MM-AT can induce disease-modifying effects in knee OA by imaging and biological assessments on peripheral blood. The tertiary objective of the study is to identify factors that influence the clinical response to treatment (baseline characteristics of patients, biological characteristics of the treated knee, characteristics of cellular products, BMAC and MM-AT).
The goal of this observational study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN®, Ca.Di.Group S.p.A) in the treatment of symptomatic patients after an episode of both complicated and uncomplicated acute colonic diverticulitis. The main question it aims to answer are: - Is the studied probiotic able to significantly reduce symptoms, assessed by means of a validated and dedicated score? - Is there any difference in microbiota among the study group at baseline and a selected cohort of patients subdivided in subjects with diverticulosis and asymptomatic subjects after an episode of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis or an episode of complicated diverticulitis submitted to surgery with colonic resection without stoma? - Is there any difference in microbiota in the study group at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of treatment with the probiotic? - Is there any correlation between microbiota modification and symptoms during follow-up? - Is there any impact on fecal calprotectin values before and during probiotic therapy? - Is there any modification of evacuation before and during follow-up? - Is probiotic able to prevent recurrent episodes of acute diverticulitis during follow-up? - The safety of the probiotic will be assessed during the follow-up. The study group will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up with a dedicated clinical score and Bristol stool scale. Microbiota and fecal calprotectin values will be also assessed at baseline and during follow-up. Microbiota at baseline will be also evaluated for comparison in the three selected groups with diverticulosis and both asymptomatic and symptomatic after an episode of acute diverticulitis.
