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 clinical study is aimed at assessing the accuracy of the in silico methodology BBCT-hip. BBCT-hip takes as inputs the subject-specific height and weight, and the CT scan of his femur to predict the risk of fracture for the femur upon falling. In the study, 150 subjects who suffered from a fracture will be enrolled, in addition to 150 control subjects. CT scans will be carried out for both groups (no later than 3 months for the fracture group) and BBCT-hip run,in order that the risk of fracture will be obtained. First, a transversal study will be performed, where the stratification accuracy of BBCT-hip will be assessed in terms of the ability of the predicted risk of fracture to separate fracture and control subjects. Furthermore, the control subjets will be followed up to assess BBCT-hip predictive accuracy through a longitudinal study.
The present study is a retrospective-prospective observational and multicentric study aiming to collect data relating to all patients included in the ROC platform. All ROC centers will be involved in the present study.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of oral sucrosomial iron on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID). The main question the study aims to answer is whether oral sucrosomial iron improved exercise capacity, assessed by six-minute walk test, and quality of life, assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, compared with placebo. One group of participants will receive treatment with oral sucrosomial iron and the other group will receive treatment with placebo.
The use of home automation system may be useful in rehabilitation to collect data about the environment and the amount of therapy. Then, the data may be stored in a cloud and integrated with data collected during training provided by technological devices. The main goal of this longitudinal pilot study is to define the productivity of the rehabilitation room (i.e., HoSmartAI room) in the IRCCS San Camillo Hospital (Venice, Italy) service, where the investigators will install home automation sensors and treat patients with neurological disease using technological devices (e.g., robotic and virtual reality). The secondary goals are to define the patients' satisfaction, usability of the system and the clinical effect of treatments delivered with technological devices in the HoSmartAI room. The patient will be assessed to personalized the treatment based on their needs. The treatment will consist of 15 sessions (1h/day, 5day/week, 3 weeks). At the end of the study, the patients will be assessed to define any clinical improvements. Finally, the investigators will define the characteristics of the patients who will benefit from the rehabilitation provided in the HoSmartAI room.
Children born preterm are recognized to be at higher risk of short and long term complications and a formal follow-up of infants and children born preterm is recommended by international and national scientific societies. However, in Italy as well as in Tuscany, such a follow up is not usually done, and data are not collected in a structured way. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the association between a large number of early life exposures and health outcomes and access to care during childhood in infants born preterm. The main questions it aims to answer are: • what is the role of prenatal and perinatal factors in influencing health outcomes during childhood in preterm infants? • What is the role of prenatal and perinatal factors in influencing access to care during childhood? Participants will be asked to attend a follow-up visit for the purpose of collecting health data.
This is a Phase IIb multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety of zibotentan/dapagliflozin in combination as compared to zibotentan monotherapy as well as zibotentan/dapagliflozin and zibotentan monotherapy as compared to placebo in patients with cirrhosis.
This study will compare the new medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, taken once a week, to insulin glargine (mentioned as insulin glargine in this form) taken daily in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well IcoSema controls blood sugar levels as compared to insulin glargine in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have their blood sugar properly controlled with other oral diabetes medicines. Participant will either get IcoSema or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. IcoSema is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. Doctors can already prescribe insulin glargine in many countries. The study will last for about 11 months (47 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat/dapagliflozin in participants ≥ 18 years of age with CKD and HTN. This study consists of a screening, a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period for participants naïve to SGLT2i at baseline; a 24-month double-blind period in which participants will receive either baxdrostat/dapagliflozin or dapagliflozin; and a 6-week open-label period in which all participants will discontinue baxdrostat/placebo and receive dapagliflozin alone. Site visits will take place at 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16- weeks following randomisation. Thereafter visits will occur approximately every 4 months, until the 24-month visit at which time baxdrostat/placebo will be discontinued. Participants will continue open-label dapagliflozin for another 6-weeks (approximately), where reassessment of GFR will occur for the primary efficacy endpoint. In the event of premature discontinuation of blinded study intervention, participants will continue in the study and receive open-label dapagliflozin monotherapy, unless the participant meets dapagliflozin specific discontinuation criteria, in which case all study interventions will be discontinued.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity (efficacy), pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the agent RVU120 when administered to adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or relapsed or progressing high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) and who have no alternative therapies available. The study consists of two parts. Part 1 will assess the safety and tolerability of the dosages given and the level of anti-tumor activity or clinical response. Based on the results from part 1 the study will continue to enrol patient into Part 2 which will continue to evaluate safety and tolerability and anti-tumor activity in a larger number of patients.
Desmoid fibromatoses are rare (1-2 cases/million per year) and locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors. For asymptomatic disease, current guidelines suggest an initial period of active surveillance. The current scientific evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of the treatment of desmoid fibromatosis by arterial embolization is constituted by several retrospective and prospective studies. Embolization of desmoid tumors alone, without chemotherapy, on the contrary, has been shown to be inefficient. Using Doxorubicin in desmoid fibromatosis is effective but associated with systemic toxicity. Consequently, this drug is reserved for symptomatic, nonresponsive, rapidly growing or life-threatening tumors. The intrinsic hypervascularity of desmoid tissue can be exploited as a conduit to achieve local distribution of Doxorubicin by navigation of a catheter endovascular.
