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 study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on patients with previously treated aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has stopped responding to treatment (also known as 'refractory') or has returned (also known as 'relapsed'). The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is compared to standard of care (SOC) therapy. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug versus SOC - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - Comparing the impact from the study drug versus SOC on your quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV)before and after listening to music in patients scheduled for cataract surgery under topical anesthesia, compared to patients who do not listen to music. Our hypothesis is that the anxious population with a low HRV benefits from an anxiolytic effect of music to increase HRV levels.
Pilot study for the evaluation of the feasibility of pathogen detection in exhaled breath aerosols (XBAs) samples using the AveloCollect device. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of XBA collection and molecular detection of respiratory pathogens using the AveloCollect BlowTube device (index test) in subjects with a clinical presentation consistent with a respiratory infectious disease, compared to the same molecular assays performed on nasopharyngeal secretions (using commercially available swabs) and sputum (comparator tests).
Patients with respiratory insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, bronchiectasis, and, to a lesser extent, other pathologies that result in respiratory insufficiency and require rehabilitation are admitted to in-hospital Respiratory Rehabilitation. Several studies have assessed the impact of comorbidities in the most frequent respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis in terms of worsening mortality, morbidity, and disease progression. However, to our knowledge, there is no reliable quantification in Italy of the percentage of the presence of mental disorders (psychiatric/neurodegenerative) according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Diploma in Social Medicine (DSM)-5 classification in respiratory patients as well as the prevalence of mental disorders present among patients requiring in-hospital rehabilitation programs. The study hypothesizes that these disorders are present among patients admitted to rehabilitation centers and that they may impact the final rehabilitation outcome.
Cancer survivors experience a form of social discrimination that is described in numerous areas such as private life, educational and work paths and the achievement of personal goals. Starting from this scenario, more and more national legislative initiatives are emerging to reconcognize the right to be forgotten, defined as the right not to have to report one's, resolved, oncological disease in contact with institutions such as insurance companies, banks or others. The issue of the right to be forgotten is current and new, primarily in the AYA (adolescents and young adults) population. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the experience of adolescents and young adults affected by previous oncological disease with respect to the issue of the right to be forgotten. In particular, focusing on: - awareness (knowledge of the issue); - significance attributed and subjective perception; - implications/fallouts perceived or experienced on one's present and future history.
The association of clinical, pathogenesis and mutational profile of patients affected by ovarian cancer have improved the armamentarium of therapies available for medical doctors. One of most remarkable advancements is represented by the introduction of PARP inhibitors in the front-line setting of advanced ovarian carcinoma. It is necessary to continue with this effort and introduce novel approaches to improve the survival rate as well as predictive biomarkers to approved therapies. Given the absence of predictive biomarkers to standard therapy, patients derived organoid could be a promising platform to test clinically available drugs and/or promising new molecules to explore the tumor sensibility in an ex-vivo model. The aim of this study is to correlate treatment sensibility measured in tumor derived organoids to clinical sensibility seen in real world patients.
Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disease of the lymphatic vessels which affects about 300 million people worldwide. Patients may experience recurrent soft tissue infection of the limb affected by lymphedema, in terms of erysipelas, lymphangitis or cellulitis. No previous study has ever investigated the possible role of the gut microbiota in the genesis of acute infectious/inflammatory episodes in these patients. Our hypothesis is that lymphedema patients with recurrent soft tissue infections are characterized by pro-inflammatory changes in the microbiota.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the agreement between three different grids in detecting central visual field defect in early glaucoma patients with reduced ganglion cell layer thickness.
This project aims to introduce solutions for strengthening the management capabilities of two types of patients, in terms of care and prevention. Specifically, it is aimed at neurological patients with mild or minor neurocognitive decline (Mild Cognitive Impairment, MCI) and endocrinological patients diagnosed with obesity. The study want to enhance the predictive capacity of the care process management system through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. All patients diagnosed with MCI and obesity who, within 30 months, will be referred to the Neurology and Endocrinology clinics of the IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo in Messina will be evaluated. Study design Patients will not be subjected to any procedure that goes beyond normal clinical practice; the clinical and neuropsychological variables that will be collected for the study are those that are commonly collected in normal clinical practice. All patients diagnosed with MCI and obesity who, within 30 months, will be referred to the Neurology and Endocrinology clinics of the IRCCS Centro Neurolesi Bonino-Pulejo in Messina will be evaluated. All patients will undergo clinical, neuropsychological and psychological evaluation at the beginning (baseline T0), at the end (T1) and after ... months from the end of treatment (follow up T2).
Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) is used in pediatric brain tumors for purposes of diagnosis, evaluation of response to treatments, and monitoring of patients in follow-up. Through conventional imaging techniques it remains difficult to differentiate tumor recurrence from pseudo-progression or other iatrogenic changes after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but it remains a relevant and essential clinical need for patient management.
