About this study

Official title: PANDA, Progressive Advancements in Neurosurgery, Data and Analysis Database

Neurosurgical diseases encompass a highly heterogeneous group of conditions, including oncological, malformative, traumatic, spinal, vascular, infectious diseases, and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics disorders. Several systematic reviews on the level of evidence in neurosurgical diseases have documented the low percentage of high-quality scientific evidence in this field of medicine. Clinical practice is strongly influenced by individual physician preferences, leading to significant heterogeneity among different centers both in Italy and internationally. This overall picture highlights the need for tools that can accurately characterize the numerous diagnostic variables influencing therapeutic outcomes in patients with neurosurgical diseases.

Primary Objective To establish a prospective data collection of adult patients with neurosurgical diseases, providing real-life data on the current management of patients at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome and the participating centers.

Secondary Objectives To create a database of adult patients with neurosurgical diseases who may be potential candidates for enrollment in clinical trials.

To conduct observational research on neurosurgical diseases, particularly in cases where no curative treatment options are currently available.

To identify potential predictors of poor outcomes or treatment response. To assess the clinical history and treatment response of patients, including for internal audit purposes (e.g., supporting Morbidity \& Mortality conferences).

To provide support for the development and monitoring of quality indicators related to patient care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spine Disease and Central Nervous System Diseases, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Data collection of adult patients with neurosurgical diseases (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
