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 primary purpose of this registry is to prospectively collect data from different Mini-invasive Colo-rectal Units in Northern Italy with a standardization of the pre-operative, intra-operative and post operative setting for patients operated on for non metastatic rectal cancer with curative intent. The secondary aim is to collect in a registry the compliance to oncological treatments and the oncological outcomes for the same patients
This is a Phase 2 randomized, dose-blind, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of treatment with KZR-616 in patients with active Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or Immune Thrombocytopenia.
Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, lifethreatening, chronic disease of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) characterized by acute onset of renal impairment, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. The estimated incidence of aHUS is approximately 0.5 per million per year. aHUS affects both adults and children, but is observed primarily in children and young adults. Atypical HUS commonly develops due to dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway and can be sporadic (80%) or familial(20%). The clinical course of aHUS is often unpredictable and can be dependent upon the specific genetic abnormality present within the complement system, if any, and/or triggering events associated with complement activation or inflammation, including autoimmune disease, transplant, pregnancy, infection, metabolic conditions, and drug use. In patients with dysregulated complement activity, such as those with complement mutations commonly observed in aHUS, the kidney vasculature is often the site of thrombosis stemming from endothelial injury. Cemdisiran has been designed to reduce the level of C5 mRNA in the liver, thereby reducing levels of circulating C5 protein, inhibiting terminal complement pathway activity, and preventing formation and deposition of the MAC (C5-b9) on endothelial cells in the kidney. As a result, complement-mediated endothelial cell damage in patients with aHUS and subsequent progression to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) may be reduced.
The reason for this study is to see if the drug abemaciclib in combination with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole or letrozole) is effective in participants with Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer that have certain disease characteristics.
Gut-derived endotoxaemia, microbial imbalance and bacterial translocation play an increasingly recognized role in the progression from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to its more advanced state, NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis). Animal model studies confirmed that Yaq-001 reduces liver injury and prevents steatosis in these models which leads to the theoretical potential of Yaq-001 altering the microbiome and gut permeability in patients with NASH. The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the safety and tolerability of Yaq-001 in patients with NASH. Results from this study will lead to the design of future pivotal performance and safety trials for registration purposes. Candidate patients must be between 18-70 years old and have a clinical diagnosis of NASH, determined histologically or phenotypically, as well as meeting other clinical inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive standard of care treatment plus Yaq-001, or standard of care treatment plus placebo). The treatment lasts for 48 weeks. During treatment, the patient will have 6 study visits. At all the visits, the patients will undergo a routine physical examination, electrocardiogram, collection of blood and urine samples. On three occasions the patients will be asked to provide additional samples of blood, urine and stool for analysis outside the hospital. On two occasions the patient will have a liver Multiscan and on three occasions the patient will have a liver Fibroscan. 70 patients from 9 hospitals in UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland will participate in this study.
The CABG-REVOLUTION study is an investigator-initiated single-arm, multicentre, prospective study for patients with 3-vessel disease (with or without left-main involvement) referred to CABG treatment. Surgical revascularization strategy and treatment planning will be solely based on MSCT (with FFRCT) without knowledge of the anatomy defined by conventional cine-angiography.
An open label, monocenter, single-arm, phase 2 study of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and epacadostat, preceding radical cystectomy, for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Backgroung:Regional anesthesia in breast surgery is of paramount importance to reduce pain in perioperative period. PECS II block is an interfascial block that has been used widely as regional anesthesia technique in breast surgery. ESP block is a novel interfascial block proposed in 2016 by Forero. Several reports used this technique in breast surgery to provide analgesia but to date no studies comparing these technique exists. Our hypotesis is that this two technique are equally able to provide analgesia in breast surgery. Study type: RCT, single blind.
This is a randomized study for the prevention and acute treatment of migraine using open label nVNS and standard of care versus standard of care. .
Monocentric, phase I study for advanced sarcoma with adoptive immunotherapy with Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK). In the first part of the study Patient's' peripheral blood will be collected and CIK cell expansion and storage will occur at the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital Cell Factory. In the second part of the study the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be determined in order to find the Recommended Dose for Phase II (RP2D)
