There are about 36225 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. 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.
Rare genetic forms of obesity, so called monogenic obesity are linked to alteration in energy balance involving hypothalamic pathways. More than 60 genes encoding for proteins located in the hypothalamic leptin/melanocortin pathway have been described in the French National Protocol for Diagnostic and Care (PNDS). The natural history of monogenic obesity is characterized by an early onset in childhood, with a major increase in weight in adolescence and young adulthood. The worsening of obesity exposes these patients to severe complications. Severe obesity and eating disorders have a major impact on the quality of life of the person but also of the family and caregivers. Clinical management is complex and requires comprehensive, specialized and multidisciplinary management. But the usual lifestyle approaches have so far shown disappointing results, similarly to bariatric surgery which leads to a more frequent weight regain in the situation of monogenic obesity, justifying new approaches. In this context, evaluating the response to treatment in the particular condition of monogenic obesity is crucial to propose therapeutic options as early as possible to limit weight evolution and its complications. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) based innovative therapies have recently emerged as a promising option for treatment of obesity and its complications. This is the case for Semaglutide 2.4mg/week (WEGOVY®), developed by Novo Nordisk. However, there is a lack of data to confirm that semaglutide could be also effective in monogenic obesity. The hypothesis in this study is that treatment with Semaglutide 2.4mg/week (WEGOVY®) could be as effective in monogenic obesities as in common obesity.

FEGALA is a comparative, multicenter, randomized, prospective, open-label study comparing the results observed at 3 months (± 15 days) on the EORTC QLQ-C30 scale in a group of patients with metastatic cancer followed on an outpatient basis and benefiting from the CONTINUUM+ CONNECT solution (with or without nursing support at home) versus comparable patients benefiting from conventional monitoring.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare preoperative information and patient experience using a personalized versus a generic 3D printed models of patients' tumoral kidney before and after nephron-sparing surgery. The main outcome measure will be based on semi-structured interviews with the patient and the carers.
This is a national multicentric study led by the French Arthroscopy Society (SFA) evaluating clinical practice in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision surgery (epidemiological data, morphological data, operative data, clinical and functional outcomes, and surgical complication rates).
Biofilm is a microstructure organised into aggregates of microbiological species within a polymeric matrix. As early as the 2000s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognised the possible role of the biofilm lining endotracheal endotracheal tubes in the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) , the most common infection in intensive care, with a high morbidity and mortality rate and a significant increase in hospital costs. Targeting biofilm therefore now appears to be a new area of interest for limiting the risk of VAP, and this rationale has led to the development of an intraluminal for abrading biofilm deposited on the inside of the intubation probe . Evaluation of this type of strategy nevertheless justifies the introduction of more precise methods for characterisation of the biofilm. To this end, the investigator carried out an initial clinical study describing the biofilm on intubation probes, BIOPAVIR 1, showing the existence of several biofilm structures, each associated with a specific microbiological signature. Several limitations including a lack of power due to an insufficient number of patients and the use of number of patients, and the use of a confocal microscopy technique with poor axial without the possibility of acquiring metabolic images of the biofilm. Based on the previous description of biofilm by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and a recent experience with an optimised form of high-resolution OCT, called full-field OCT, the investigator hypothesise that full-field OCT will allow more accurate characterisation of biofilm, due to its high spatial resolution and its potential ability to capture metabolic activity in the biofilm BIOPAVIR 2 proposes to use the performance of full-field OCT to better characterise the biofilm lining endotracheal tubes in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. This project represents a first step towards understanding the link between the development of biofilm on intubation and the occurrence of VAP
The genu pectoral position is a surgical position used for spine surgery. This surgical position will lead to physiological hemodynamic and respiratory changes during the procedure. The knee-pectoral position notably induces an increase in CRF and improves pulmonary ventilation/perfusion ratios. On the other hand, it has been shown that it is accompanied by a reduction in cardiac output of approximately 15% Protective perioperative ventilation including a tidal volume between 6 and 8 ml/kg of theoretical ideal weight, PEEP and alveolar recruitment maneuvers is applied in the operating room to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. The application of high PEEP and the performance of recruitment maneuvers induce arterial hypotension through changes in intra- and transpulmonary pressures. However, investigators hypothesize that the deleterious hemodynamic effects of PEEP seem to counterbalance its beneficial respiratory effects in this particular position. The combination of the effects of the knee-pectoral position and protective ventilation could be potentiated and be the cause of the sometimes severe arterial hypotension observed in clinical practice. Since this position improves pulmonary ventilation perfusion ratios, the investigators hypothesized that a lower PEEP and the elimination of intraoperative recruitment maneuvers could be beneficial from a hemodynamic point of view without being deleterious in terms of perioperative pulmonary complications. An exploratory study was carried out at the CAEN University Hospital in 2021 under the name PEEP POSTURE (CLERS Agreement No. 2198 of February 17, 2021) on 90 patients aiming to collect hemodynamic and respiratory parameters in 3 surgical positions: supine decubitus, ventral decubitus , pectoral genu. No difference was found in the evolution of respiratory compliance. On the other hand, a significant drop in SBP, DBP and MAP in the pectoral position was shown compared to the supine group as well as greater vascular filling. The investigators therefore hypothesize that a reduction in PEEP and optimization of vascular filling could help reduce the adverse effects on blood pressure linked to the surgical position.
The study aims to evaluate clinical characteristics and prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using T hs-cTn measurements The study includes all patients admitted in 2 French university centers with the confirmed diagnostic of UA defined with clinical ischemic symptoms and T hs-cTn concentrations < 99 percentile (undetectable: <5ng/l or non-elevated: <14ng/l), or ≥ 99 percentile but mildly elevated (14-50ng/l) .The primary end-point included major events at 1-year follow-up (total mortality, new ACS, hospitalization for cardiac causes).
Mutations in IDH genes are found in numerous cancers and more specifically in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These mutations target specific amino acids, at positions 140 or 172 of IDH2, and 132 of IDH1. Mutant IDH proteins acquire an abnormal enzymatic activity allowing them to convert α-ketoglutarate (αKG) into D-2 hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG), an oncometabolite which massively accumulates in IDH-mutated cells. At high levels, D-2HG behaves as a competitive inhibitor of αKG and affects the activity of Fe(II)/αKG-dependent dioxygenases. This enzymatic family is involved in a broad spectrum of pathways such as demethylation of histone (JHDM histone demethylases) or DNA (methylcytosine hydroxylases of the TET family). As a result, IDH-mutated cells show altered survival, motility, invasiveness and cell differentiation. In AML, IDH1 mutations might be present in 10-15% at diagnosis Ivosidenib (IVO) a first-in-class, oral, irreversible inhibitor of mutant IDH1 has shown clinical activity as a single agent in studies involving patients with IDH1 mutated relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML (DiNardo et al. 2018) and in front line settings (Montesinos et al. 2022). In phase II clinical trials, IVO yielded 30-35% of complete response rates both in frontline and R/R settings, with long lasting responses. Based on these results, the FDA (Food and Drug Agency) gave its approval for newly-diagnosed AML IDH1mut patients who are ≥ 75 years old or who have comorbidities and in R/R. However, European Medicines Agency (EMA)'s did not approved IVO due to lack of evidences to support the application. Agios Netherlands B.V. (the company that previously own the drug before Servier Laboratories) withdrew its EMA application. Nevertheless, IVO has been available in France through a compassionate use program (CUP), since February 2020 for R/R patients and March 2022 for first line treatment. In this multicentric retrospective study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ivo in two cohorts of IDH1mut AML patients treated within the CUP. The first cohort will concern patients treated in first line setting and the second cohort those treated in R/R disease. Our results might provide new insights regarding IVO in real life settings and support signs of efficacy. This could provide new data for the haematologist community and for another appliance to grant EMA approval of IVO in the setting of R/R IDH1mut AML.
