Active clinical trials for "Disease Progression"

This is a national multicentre observational study with retrospective and prospective data collection to assess the time to hospitalisation of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection receiving treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies. The subjects enrolled will be patients with early infection of SARS-CoV-2, paucisymptomatic, with risk factors for evolution to the severe form (according to AIFA criteria). Also, hospitalised subjects will be enrolled to receive SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies because of negative serology (according to AIFA criteria). It is estimated to enrol about 1000 subjects. Patients will be evaluated at enrollment and 28 days following administration to collect data on symptoms, possible hospitalization and final clinical outcome (alive with symptoms, alive without symptoms, alive with symptoms and hospitalized or deceased). Data will be collected using a dedicated electronic Case Report Form (eCRF).

Recent clinical introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents may change the clinical course of macular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), diabetic macular edema (DME), and so forth. Patients with such macular diseases are registered and and are followed up for 5 years with appropriate treatment for each patient. By the analysis of the correlation between initial examinations and final visual acuity, factors associated with good visual prognosis will be elucidated.

The goal of the present research is to identify an "EMT signature", associated with long term disease-free survival after surgery in NSCLC. This study will potentially lead to specific treatment recommendations, thanks to an integrated molecular approach including DNA, RNA and miR profiling In vitro analyses using lung cancer cell lines will subsequently be conducted to validate markers identified in tumor screenings.

The study aims to retrospectively collect epidemiological and clinical data in patients with solid tumors and SARS Covid2 infections belonging to oncology centers within the Veneto Oncology Network

Pneumonia is a common infectious disease of the lung, often requiring treatment in the hospital. Clinical scoring systems are available, identifying patients not requiring hospitalization. However, the course of disease of patients in the hospital remains hard to predict. While most patients will recover quickly, some will, despite appropriate treatment, develop a severe course leading to sepsis and systemic responses resulting in organ dysfunction. The PROGRESS consortium aims to identify clinical, genetic, and other molecular markers and combinations there of predicting a severe course of pneumonia in the hospital. Such predictors will, for instance, support decisions on earlier transfer of patients to intensive care and thus improving outcome. PROGRESS-COMORB aims to extend findings from the previous PROGRESS study to patients with more severe preexisting conditions and immunosuppression.

The purpose the study is to successfully characterize the recovery phase of acute exacerbations of COPD in the outpatient setting using remotely captured physiologic data from wearable devices, to compare this with patient self-reported symptom data, to determine which physiologic variable(s) best correspond with AECOPD recovery, and to further document the feasibility, data quantity, data quality, and COPD outpatient usability experience with wearable devices.

A single-center study on the effect of systemic/selective lymph node dissection on the prognosis of ground glass nodules smaller than 3cm and with components with consolidation/tumor ratio between 0.5-1

This study will be carried out to examine the effect of telephone-assisted smoking cessation program on self-efficacy, smoking behavior, tumor recurrence and progression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Intro Huntington's disease (HD) patients suffer from motor, cognitive and behavioral impairments, with heterogeneous phenotypes and variable time course. This leads to a high variance of HD markers, none of which is currently sensitive enough to 1) measure disease progression from small cohort data, 2) predict disease entry in carriers of the HD mutation (during the prodromal phase or in patients considered asymptomatic: pre-HD patients), and 3) measure a significant evolution of the state of pre-HD patients over a time window compatible with the realization of clinical trials (about 2/3 years). Moreover, the markers of HD do not allow a fine stratification of the patients. Hypothesis/Objective Our objectives are 1) to evaluate the sensitivity of new markers and assessment tools for symptomatic (HD) and presymptomatic (pre-HD) patients, 2) to define a model of disease progression, and 3) to establish an enrichment strategy to improve patient selection for future therapeutic trials. Method We will evaluate newly developed cognitive tests, multimodal imaging techniques, biological markers and use innovative statistical approaches. We will follow 60 patients with the mutation responsible for MH (40 presymptomatic pre-MH patients, 20 symptomatic MH patients) and 20 healthy volunteers (controls) over a 24-month period.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the effect on brain tau of the study drug LY3202626 in participants with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.
