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.
A cross-sectional survey will be conducted among 200 volunteering women aged 18- 45 years and having had prior sexual activity living in the target villages of Itilima and Maswa districts, North-western Tanzania. A single midday urine sample and two cervical-vaginal swabs (both self-collected and speculum-aided collected by a female healthcare worker) will be obtained from participating women and processed using urine filtration and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for cervico-vaginal samples. A pre-tested structure questionnaire will be used to collect sociodemographic, clinical, and sampling acceptability information from participants.
The present project is an evolution of the previous RIN 2019 study aimed at validating and standardizing the Uniform Data Set (UDS) for dementia, a battery of tests exploring various cognitive domains (memory, language, praxis, executive functions) and involving partial tablet-based computerization for data collection. In the present study, a UDS-based instrument that can be used in remote examiner-assisted telematic administration will be validated. This will be followed by standardization of the same on a sample of healthy subjects.
This study is comparing 200 milligrams (mg) of filgotinib a day with a placebo to see if filgotinib helps to treat Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and is safe to use. The study will also be comparing 200 mg with 100 mg filgotinib a day to see if the lower dose also helps to treat axSpA.
This is a multicenter prospective observational study that aims to determine the natural history of patients with early diagnosis (within 6 hours of life) of mild hipoxic ischemic encephalopaty (HIE), who are not candidates for treatment with therapeutic hypothermia. The goal of this study is to learn about the early neurological outcome in babies with mild encephalopathy, as recent studies have shown how there is an increased risk of brain damage with a high incidence of resonance magnetic nuclear (RMN) anomalies and possible neurodevelopmental complications including learning or neuropsychological disorders, epilepsy, visual and sensory deficits. The main question aimed to answer is the identification of early possible predictive factors for an unfavorable outcome in order to undertake early rehabilitation programs and for the future planning of trials on early neuroprotection in the investigated population. Babies with early diagnosis (within 6h of life) of mild grade HIE not candidate for hypothermic treatment are subjected to clinical and instrumental assessments during the neonatal period: - neurological objective exam according to the modified "Sarnat" score, Thompson score and Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HINE) within 6 hours of life, 24 hours of life and before resignation; - an Amplitude Electroencephalogram (aEEG) study within 6 hours of life, for 6 hours; - cerebral ultrasound within 6 hours of life, in the third and seventh day of life; - a brain magnetic resonance imaging study between the seventh and 14th day of life; - an Electroencephalogram (EEG) evaluation within 7 days. After resignation, all patients will be included in a minimum duration follow-up program of 12 months, with assessments at 3rd, 6th and 12th month of age: - Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HINE) and evaluation of the General Movements; - evaluation of psychomotor development through Griffiths/Bayley III scales at the 12th month; - EEG evaluation at the 6th and 12th month.
This study aims to identify how many patients who have atrial fibrillation, also have sleep apnoea. This is important because sleep apnoea can be a trigger to atrial fibrillation and it can be corrected with a simple intervention. Therefore it is important to understand its prevalence (how many patients with atrial fibrillation are affected by it). Also, obesity and sleep disorders are often associated, therefore the evolution of atrial fibrillation is studied in patients who also have obesity and have lost weight compared with patients who did not loose any weight or are not obese. As medications or therapy are not changed, this is an observational study.
In the western world the prevalence of myocardial infarction is estimated at around 1-2% of the population; increases progressively with age, reaching a percentage of 10% after the 75 years. It is therefore considered the first cause of hospitalization and mortality in Western countries, as well as expenditure for the health system. It is therefore very important to have cardiac biomarkers that allow to confirm the diagnostic suspicion of coronary heart disease and/or heart failure, carry out prognostic evaluations and stratify patients as precisely as possible in relation to their actual risk. Currently as biomarkers of heart failure, natriuretic peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) are widely used in clinical practice but, considering the complexity of heart failure and its clinical and pathophysiological heterogeneity, it is reasonable to think that a single biomarker is not sufficient . For these reasons, there is increasing interest in the scientific community in the search for new biomarkers useful for early diagnosis, for correct prognostic stratification and for evaluating the response to therapy.
This study is investigating the safety and efficacy of eneboparatide (AZP-3601) in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHP). During the first 24 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomized to receive eneboparatide or placebo. Study treatment is blinded: patients and doctors will not know which group each patient has been randomized to. All patients will start with a fixed dose of study treatment (eneboparatide or placebo), administered subcutaneously with a pre-filled pen. Study treatment will be individually titrated. After completion of the first 24 weeks, patients will be treated in the open label extension part of the study for 28 weeks. During this phase, all patients (including patients that were in the placebo group) will receive eneboparatide.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction nowadays affects about half of all patients with heart failure. In the general population, the prevalence of this subclass of heart failure (HFpEF, ed.) increases as the age of patients increases, especially in those over 65 years of age, and it has a significant gender. The study is to investigate the molecular pathways, predominantly protein patterns, involved in cardiac remodeling peculiar to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by comparing them with remodeling pathways and protein pattern alterations in patients with HFrEF. In addition, the study aims to identify molecular alterations that would allow early identification of the development of PH-HFpEF and PH-HFrEF, affecting the female gender more
It is a single-center, non-profit experimental study, intended to evaluate the viral load of SARS COV 2 in nasal and oral samples of positive subjects to evaluate any variation and understand which is the most suitable site for carrying out the swab.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of setrusumab vs intravenous bisphosphonates (IV-BP) on reduction in fracture rate, including morphometric vertebral fractures in pediatric participants.
