There are about 20733 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.
Many patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain. The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to: - predict the severity of pain; - select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.
This study aims to evaluate the activity and safety of the combination of platinum-pemetrexed based chemotherapy plus Lorlatinib in ALK positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with exclusively extracranial disease progression on Lorlatinib. Platinum-pemetrexed based chemotherapy plus Lorlatinib will be administered for an induction phase of four cycles. Subsequently, patients with response or stability of disease at radiological assessment will start the maintenance phase with pemetrexed-Lorlatinib in 21-day cycles until progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent.
The rationale of the study is to collect structured data in the neuropsychological, clinical neuroradiologic and neurorehabilitation fields in children/young people affected by congenital and juvenile myotonic dystrophy. Children affected by the congenital form (CDM1) present important brain alterations present since birth while, on the contrary, patients with the adult form of DM1 often present a degenerative, slowly progressive neurocognitive picture. Promising therapies that aim to correct the molecular mechanism underlying the symptoms of adult forms of DM1 are under development, but their potential role at the level of the nervous system and in particular in forms of CDM1 (which appears to be a distinct disorder of neuronal development) is also to be clarified. To this end, a better definition of neurocognitive profiles and their evolution is essential for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of experimental therapies.
Until twenty years ago physical exercise in muscular dystrophies was considered harmful to the muscle cells, inducing an acceleration of cell necrosis. In fact, it is now certain and validated that an active lifestyle and the practice of controlled and regular physical activity are to be considered therapeutic in neuromuscular pathologies with the aim of optimizing muscular and cardio-respiratory function and preventing atrophy In particular, it seems that the optimal care is extensive and can be carried out in a safe and controlled manner even at home. It is well documented that exercise has beneficial effects on muscle with increased strength and muscular endurance.
The goal of this clinical trial is to implement a personalized training program to prevent functional decline in frail subjects but not yet disable. The purpose of the project is to test the training in a subject at particularly high risk of entering the disabled condition. A total of 80 frail subjects, divide the participants into two groups "Divida Senso Group" (experimental group) and "Standard of care Group" (Control group) will be recruited. The expected outcome is to slow down a functional decline not only in isolation in the domains trained by the program.
This study will be a multi-institutional, prospective, observational study of patients with localized primary AS of any site within ISG and RTR centers. Patients will be treated according to clinical practice of the center and according to ISG clinical recommendations on localized AS.
Many patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain. The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to: - predict the severity of pain; - select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.
The aim of the research is to evaluate clinical outcomes of a two stage muscle sparing prepectoral breast reconstruction using tissue expander (TE) entirely covered by an ADM. The authors aim to report surgical indications, technical tips, clinical and histological outcomes with the final objective of delineate a decision-making algorithm for immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction.
This is a monocentric, experimental, non-pharmacological and non-device no profit study. The study is experimental because all the visits and blood withdrawals foreseen by the protocol do not fall within the normal clinical practice.
Multicentre no-profit, national, (cross-sectional diagnostic) retrospective study, promoted by the Italian Society for Rheumatology. The main objective of the study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-criteria aPL (anti-vimentin/cardiolipin and anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin) in identifying APS in patients with thrombosis/recurrent adverse pregnancy outcomes. The recruited patients have the following criteria: (i)Patients fulfilling the classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (seropositive APS, SP-APS) or patients with seronegative APS (SN-APS) or patients with clinical criteria (thrombotic or obstetric) for APS, negative for aPL, but without clinical features highly suggestive of APS; (ii) Age <65 years; (iii) less than 5 years from the first event to the beginning of the study.
