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.
Research hypothesis: Switching from dual regimens based on dolutegravir plus a RTI to a single tablet regimen of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF), lowers the exposure to Residual Viremia (and hence the risk of viral rebound), without increasing treatment toxicity.
This was a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BGB-A317 in participants with relapsed or refractory mature T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms. There were three cohorts: - Cohort 1: Relapsed or refractory (R/R) extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL; nasal or non-nasal type) - Cohort 2: Other R/R mature T-cell neoplasms, limited to the following histologies: peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) - Cohort 3: R/R cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, limited to mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sèzary syndrome (SS) Study procedures included a Screening phase (up to 35 days); Treatment phase (until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first); Safety Follow-up phase (up to 90 days following last study treatment for all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)); and Survival follow-up phase (duration varying by participant).
The purpose of this Phase I study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of ticagrelor in pediatric patients from 0 to less than 24 months with sickle cell disease. Ticagrelor dose level adjustment will require a Protocol amendment and regulatory approval.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease associated with uncontrolled inflammation and autoimmunity and for which there is still an unmet need for new diagnostic and therapeutic options, especially for the progressive forms. Recent studies suggest that chronic inflammation can be a consequence of failure to resolve inflammation, the resolution of which is mediated by a newly discovered genus of highly potent anti-inflammatory lipids derived metabolically from omega-3 essential fatty acids and termed specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs). Herein, we propose to identify SPMs as leads for the control of MS pathology and progression and to propose them as novel disease-modifying treatments by assessing their ex vivo/in vitro and in vivo role in modulating the balance of effector and regulatory cells and/or the mechanisms leading to chronicity as wells as in promoting activation of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective pathways.
The aim of the study is to set up a pilot study to investigate the effects of treadmill training in preventing the onset and worsening of walking impairments, balance deficits and fatigue.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol in amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
In obese patients the superficial adipose tissue works as an endocrine active tissue to express different cytokines, and multiple molecular pathways implied in the cross talking with different part of the human body, such as the cardiovascular system. To date, adipocytes and adipose tissue-derived macrophages and adipose tissue synthesize, and secrete several cytokines, and sirtuins. In this setting, the excess of body fat is linked to heart contractile dysfunction. All these pathways are differently expressed in obese diabetic patients as compared to obese non diabetic patients. Intriguingly, in diabetic obese patients the hyper-expression of inflammatory cytokines is associated to a hypo-expression of sirtuins. Furthermore, microRNAs (miRs) as miR 195 and miR 27 could be implied in the regulation of this complex cellular and molecular axis.Therefore, this molecular pattern in diabetic obese patients may correlate to altered myocardial performance, and to the development of heart failure disease. In this study authors will evaluate at baseline by peripheral blood samples and by the abdominal fat tissue, and than at 12 months of follow-up by perupheral blood analysis, the expression of cytokines sirtuins and miR 195/27 comparing pre-diabetics obese patients vs. non pre-diabetics obese patients.
The study is an open-label, single-arm, Phase I/II multi-center study to investigate the PK, activity and safety of ruxolitinib added to the patient's immunosuppressive regimen in infants, children, and adolescents ages ≥28 days to <18 years old with either grade II-IV aGvHD or grade II-IV SR-aGvHD. The trial design includes four age groups: Group 1 includes patients ≥12y to <18y, Group 2 includes patients ≥6y to <12y, Group 3 includes patients ≥2y to <6y, and Group 4 includes patients ≥28days to <2y.
In the BN40031 OLE study, a dose of crenezumab of 60 mg/kg intravenous (IV) every 4 weeks (Q4W) will be offered to all participants who complete Study BN29552 or BN29553 and who meet eligibility criteria in order to evaluate safety in participants on long-term crenezumab treatment and to investigate the effect of crenezumab on the underlying disease process and disease course as an exploratory efficacy objective.
Diverticular disease is a chronic pathology, characterized by recurrent abdominal symptoms and a high social impact, with a high prevalence in developed countries, especially among the elderly. Diverticula are thought to develop from age-related degeneration of the mucosal wall and segmental increases in colon pressure resulting in bulging at points of weakness, typically at the insertion of the vasa recta. Classification of diverticular disease is largely based on symptoms: it begins with the development of diverticulosis, to asymptomatic disease, to symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) and finally to complicated disease when patients develop abscesses, phlegmon, bleeding, fistula and sepsis. Approximately the 20% of the patients with diverticular disease has symptoms, such as abdominal pain, fever and altered bowel movement and, in the last decades, a significant increase of the incidence of complications related to the disease has been recorded, in particular of intestinal perforation. Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein present in several secretory liquids - i.e. milk, saliva and tears - with antimicrobial properties that it exert to seizing iron, thus preventing the use by the pathogens, or altering their plasma membrane through its highly cationic charge. The investigators hypothesize that the antimicrobial and immunoregulatory characteristics of the Lf can be used to maintain an adequate homeostasis of the intestinal mucosa in patients with SUDD resulting in an improvement of both symptoms and quality of life.
