This study tests the safety of an antibiotic called Vabomere in children aged 3 months to 12 years who have complicated urinary tract infections, including kidney infections. The children receive the medicine through an IV while in the hospital. Researchers monitor for side effec…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study tests whether a daily dose of alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant supplement, can lower the risk of heart problems in 50 children who are on regular hemodialysis. Participants will either take the supplement or a placebo pill for a period, and researchers will monitor fo…

This study tests whether using personalized dosing (based on drug levels in the blood) for the antibiotic teicoplanin works better than standard dosing for treating bacterial infections. About 74 adults in hospital intensive care or other units will take part. The goal is to see …

This study tests whether a pharmacist-led program can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. Over 1,000 adults with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity are taking part. Pharmacists use a step-by-step guide to assess risk and support lifestyle change…

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used in adults for diabetes and kidney protection, can reduce protein leakage in the urine of children with chronic kidney disease. Ten children aged 4 to 18 with persistent proteinuria despite standard therapy will take the drug, an…

This study follows up to 500 people with acute or chronic inflammatory disorders, such as infections or immune problems, over time. Researchers will monitor participants with standard tests and may screen them for other studies. The goal is to better understand these conditions a…

This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from 330 adults with advanced lung or head and neck cancer to improve precision medicine. Researchers will analyze genetic changes in these samples and grow some tumors in mice to compare DNA. The goal is to refine liquid biops…

This study follows 28 kidney transplant recipients who are switching from one anti-rejection drug (anticalcineurin) to another (belatacept). Researchers want to see how this change affects the immune system's ability to fight the common CMV virus. Participants will have blood tes…

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study watches a single gynecology resident as they learn to perform a hysterectomy through the vagina using a special camera, leaving no belly scars. The goal is to see how quickly the resident improves, measuring surgery time and any complications. Nineteen women with benig…

This study tests whether using rapid, advanced lab tests to identify the exact bacteria causing a severe infection can help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster. About 190 adults with sepsis in Greek ICUs will either get standard care or the new testing strategy. The goal …

This study is creating a biobank—a collection of blood samples and health data—to help researchers better understand gynecological disorders, infertility in men and women, and pregnancy-related conditions. Up to 3,000 participants will provide samples at San Raffaele Hospital in …

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…

This study gathers MRI, CT, and ultrasound images from 300 adults—some healthy, some with kidney or brain disease—to build a collection for future not-for-profit research. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to make medical images available to scientists for advancing…
