Aim of this phase 2 study is to explore the safety and efficacy of thoracic re-irradiation +/- SBRT to oligometastases (<3) followed after an interval of 2 weeks by durvalumab and ceralasertib for patients with thoracic relapses +/- oligometastases after PACIFIC or PACIFIC-like (concurrent or sequential chemo-radiotherapy followed by maintenance durvalumab) regimens.

Tracheal intubation (TI) is associated with a high risk of adverse events in critically ill patients and peri-intubation hemodynamic collapse is the most commonly observed. The primary aim of the PREVENTION trial is to compare the effect of the pre-emptive use of noradrenaline versus no peri-intubation use of noradrenaline on incidence of cardiovascular collapse following TI in adult critically ill patients. Patients with absolute indication or contraindication to vasopressor support will be excluded from this trial. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to a continuous infusion of noradrenaline started before induction titrated according to baseline mean arterial pressure. The primary outcome will be the incidence of cardiovascular collapse. Secondary outcomes will include lowest systolic blood pressure and cardiac arrest within 30 minutes from intubation.

This is an Italian, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase III trial which will evaluate if Letrozole is superior to standard adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with hormone receptor positive low-grade serous epithelial carcinoma of the ovary (LGSCO).
The hypothesis is that letrozole will significantly prolong median progression free survival (PFS) compared with the standard chemotherapy treatment, namely carboplatin AUC 5 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2.
