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.
Indocyanine green is a fluorescent dye used for the intraoperative evaluation of tissue perfusion. The aim of this study is to evaluate a possible correlation between rectosigmoid vascularization and surgical and clinical data including pre and post-operative bowel symptoms in patients needing surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis.
This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and adenovirus (AdV) antiviral activity of multiple ascending doses of IV brincidofovir (BCV). Approximately 30 eligible subjects will be sequentially enrolled into 1 of 3 planned cohorts. Within each cohort, subjects will be randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive IV BCV dosed twice weekly (BIW) (on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11) or to receive investigator-assigned standard of care (SoC).
Chronic plaque psoriasis is frequently associated with obesity and previous studies have shown that a calorie-controlled diet inducing body weight loss improves symptoms and increases the response to pharmacologic treatment. Besides, clinical improvement has been directly correlated with the amount of weight loss. Short-term very low-calorie ketogenic diets are responsible for substantial weight loss and attenuate systemic inflammation to a higher extent than moderately hypocaloric diets. This intervention has been recently demonstrated to restore, after only 4 week, the response to biological therapy in a patient suffering from relapsing moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and obesity-related metabolic syndrome. We investigated the efficacy of an aggressive weight loss program with a ketogenic induction phase in a single-arm trial that could provide the rationale for a large randomized trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate MEDI5752 and carboplatin and pemetrexed or paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors, when administered as a single agent or combined with chemotherapy.
For this project the investigators ask, how the activation and organization of muscle synergies may be disrupted by brain lesions, and whether it is possible to modify synergy activations by means of specific therapies. Will be investigated whether there is a relationship between post-stroke cortical plasticity and changes in synergy activations due to a therapy.
In Siewert type I/II EAC, sensitivity/specificity of CT, PET-CT, EUS for assessment of N descriptor in defined groups of lymph nodes were investigated.
This study is designed to compare the anti-tumor activity as well as the safety and efficacy of DS-8201a versus T-DM1 in HER2-positive, unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer subjects previously treated with trastuzumab and taxane.
Multicenter global post-market registry of subjects diagnosed with drug resistant epilepsy and treated with the VNS Therapy System.
This observational retrospective study will enroll at least 158 patients affected by Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL) with previous HBV exposure (HBsAg negative, anti-HBc positive with or without anti-HBs) treated with Ibrutinib single agent according to the IWCLL criteria 2008. Patients will be divided into two cohorts, one encompassing patients who received lamivudine and the second one including patients who received no prophylaxis. Each patient will be observed for one year from the first administration of Ibrutinib.
Rational:Pancreatic cancer is a systemic disease at the time of diagnosis, even among patients with apparent localized disease. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative therapy for pancreatic cancer, but in patients who undergo surgery and postoperative therapy, metastatic relapse remains common and no more than 20% of patients achieve 5-year survival. Because of this aggressive biologic behavior, an increasing interest is growing about preoperative treatments in resectable pancreatic cancer. The combination chemotherapeutic regimen with irinotecan + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) + oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) is an effective choice for first line treatment in patients affected by advanced pancreatic cancer, and in this setting it achieved a Disease Control Rate of 70.2 % (10). In this regard, FOLFIRINOX is currently explored as preoperative regimen in a number of clinical trials in resectable pancreatic cancer. A critical challenge in this field remains the introduction in these combination treatments of the most novel and effective agents such as nalIRI, in order to obtain a more profound tumor shrinkage, to increase the rate of R0 resections, to allow an early treatment of occult micrometastatic disease, and eventually, to improve survival in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. This study proposal is designed to address this challenge. Preliminary results, collected during the Part 1 Dose Escalation of a current clinical trial performed in mPDAC, show that dose of nal-IRI: 60 mg/m2, Oxaliplatin: 60 mg/m2, 5-FU/LV: 2400/400 mg/m2 is safe.
