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 purpose of this study is to evaluate subjective and objective clinical outcomes and imaging data of subjects undergoing reconstruction or revision of LCA reconstruction using OrthoPure XT
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of aQIV (an MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine) compared with a non-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate aQIV compared with QIV in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.
The main purpose of this study is to measure the amyloid burden, defined as extracellular volume (ECV) assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) over time in a subset of up to 150 participants enrolled in ION-682884-CS2 (NCT04136171).
Lower third molar extraction is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in dentistry. Common sequelae, including pain, swelling and trismus, can severely affect patients' quality of life during the immediate postoperative period. The aim of this randomized-controlled trial is to clinically evaluate the reduction of lower third molar extraction-related complications, such as swelling and pain, and wound healing, following submucosal infiltration of injectable platelet rich fibrin.
The goal of this randomized non-pharmacological Intervention study is to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplements (Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001) on children affected by upper respiratory tract infections. The main questions it aims to answer are: - probiotic formulation can reduce intensity and duration of fever in children affected by upper respiratory tract infections - probiotic formulation can influence the gut microbiota composition in children affected by upper respiratory tract infections Participants will be asked to take probiotic supplements or placebo for 14 days and to collect three fecal samples: before probiotic supplementation (T0), 14 days after probiotic supplementation (T1), and 12 months after the enrollment (T2).
In our previous study (title: Expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex Molecules class II- HLA-DR in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. ID 2222)the Authors verified that the epithelial cells of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck acquire the ability to express HLA-DR. Although the role of the expression of these molecules on neoplastic cells still remains controversial, a positive association between HLA-DR expression and clinical outcome was observed by us in analogy to what was reported by several studies on various types of tumors : in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, colorectal cancer , stomach cancer and others. In these tumors the expression of HLA-DR correlates with the presence of immune cells such as CD16+/CD11c macrophage myeloid cells, associated with a good prognosis and T cells which, recalled in the damaged tissue, they determine the formation of an immunogenic microenvironment that could support an anti-tumor immune response. Oncology studies are in fact focusing on the role of the tumor microenvironment which is characterized by different cell populations, among which the most abundant population is represented by tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAF). CAFs are fibroblasts which, in a tumor context, assume a phenotype similar to that of myo-fibroblasts and are distinguishable from normal fibroblasts by a greater expression of α-sma, FAP and FSP-1, which represent their specific markers, as well as a greater expression of vimentin, fibronectin, and type XI collagen. Numerous evidences in different types of tumors have reported both the immunosuppressive role, as these cells are capable in vitro of inhibiting the proliferation of T lymphocytes, to favor their apoptosis or to induce the phenotype of regulatory T lymphocytes; and the pro-tumor role, as they are capable of promoting tumor proliferation and invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis, thus contributing to the worsening of the prognosis. Many studies are directing their research on which factors secreted by CAFs are responsible for their function. In particular, among the many factors secreted by CAFs, there are the interleukins IL-17 and IL-33 which, as it has been demonstrated, can induce the activation of HLA-DR molecules on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells . It therefore seems interesting to investigate the role of HLA-DR in relation to the presence of the tumor microenvironment represented by CAFs.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the antiviral activity of orally administered VH4004280 and VH4011499 monotherapy over 10 days in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infected Treatment-Naïve (TN) participants.
This study is an open-label, single-arm, run-in study in patients with RRMS treated with first line therapies (interferon-beta, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide and dimethyl fumarate), assessing the feasibility and tolerability of 3 cycles of Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD) over 6 months. All eligible patients will receive 3 cycles of the FMD once every 60 days in addition to their standard therapy with first line therapies. The diet provides 1100kcal on day 1 and 800 kcal on days 2-7. The diet consists of ingredients which are Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) selected for their fasting mimicking properties.
GenoMed4All 'Genomics and Personalized Medicine for all though Artificial Intelligence in Haematological Diseases' aims to advance on individual SCD patients' disease characterisation and to improve the monitoring of patients' health status, optimise clinical therapy guidance and ultimately improved health outcomes by the identification of biomarkers and the development of individual (risk) models in SCD. Genomed4All supports the pooling of genomic, clinical data and other "-omics" health through a secure and privacy respectful data sharing platform based on the novel Federated Learning scheme, to advance research in personalised medicine in haematological diseases thanks to advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and standardised interoperable sharing of cross-border data, without needing to directly share any sensitive clinical patients' data. The SCD Use case will gather multi-modal clinical and -OMICs data from 1,000 SCD patients in 4 EU-MS: France, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands. In close collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Hematological Diseases (ERN-EuroBloodNet, GA101157011), GENOMED4ALL involves multiple clinical partners from the network, while leveraging on healthcare information and repositories that will be gathered incorporating interoperability standards as promoted by ERN-EuroBloodNet central registry, the European Rare Blood Disorders Platform.
The study is a single-arm, retrospective, chart review with a patient questionnaire intended to supplement the patient chart, when necessary. The population will consist of patients who underwent an index gynecologic surgery (performed at least 2 years prior to the start of the study) during which COSEAL was used as an adjunct to good surgical technique to reduce the incidence, severity, and extent of post-surgical adhesion formation. The purpose of the study is to detect the incidence of adhesion-related morbidities as measured by the proportion of adhesion-related readmissions, including reoperations in these patients. Patient charts will be reviewed to collect the data on readmissions related to adhesions, If the patient chart has no record of adhesion related readmission within approximately 2 years of the index surgery, then a patient questionnaire will be sent. A questionnaire may still be sent if a patient chart has a record of adhesion related readmission within approximately 2 years of the index surgery and further clarification is needed. The questionnaire will collect information regarding readmission or reoperation directly or possibly related to adhesions following the index gynecologic surgical procedure at a hospital or outpatient clinic other than that of the index surgery.
