There are about 36633 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.
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of gene therapy in boys with DMD. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two thirds of participants assigned to gene therapy. The one third of participants who are randomized to the placebo arm will have an opportunity for treatment with gene therapy at the beginning of the second year.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent primary brain tumor and the brain tumor with the poorest prognosis. The current treatment relies on surgical resection of gross tumor followed by radiochemotherapy and adjuvant therapy with temozolomide. After such therapy, most patients experiment recurrence and few therapeutic option are available. Despite such therapies, median survival only reaches around fifteen months. There is a strong rational to develop telomerase vaccine in GBM. Telomerase (TERT) is a major oncogene, particularly in primary brain tumors 24. Alterations in TERT are very frequent in central nervous system tumors, seen most commonly in gliomas25. Mutations in the TERT promoter are found in approximately 80% of primary glioblastoma (GBM). These findings strongly support the rational to develop vaccine targeting telomerase in GBM. The aim of this project is to evaluate UCPVax treatment in glioblastoma. UCPVax is a therapeutic anti-cancer vaccine based on the telomerase-derived helper peptides designed to induce strong TH1 CD4 T cell responses in cancer patients (NCT02818426).
This is the open-label extension study of phase II ARGX-113-1802 to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the subcutaneous formulation of efgartigimod in adults with CIDP. Patients already stabilized on efgartigimod PH20 SC will also have the opportunity to participate in a sub study to explore less frequent dosing of efgartigimod PH20 SC.
A first-in-human study using BDC-1001 as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab in HER2 expressing advanced malignancies
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major health problem leading to significant morbidity and even mortality. Patients with superficial femoral artery stenosis make up an important proportion of patients with PAD, and since this type of involvement was reported to be most commonly associated with intermittent claudication, this patient population has been subject to intensive research on methods to prevent disease progression and further complications. Endovascular treatment has become the first-line treatment for low-complexity femoropopliteal (FP) lesions classified as TASC (Trans Atlantic Inter-Societal Consensus) A and B. Conversely, in case of more extensive lesions (TASC C), this treatment is still under debate because of a primary permeability that is difficult to maintain over time. Recently, studies have shown the interest of drug eluting technologies in the treatment of TASC A & B femoral-popliteal lesions, by significantly improving patency rates compared to uncoated balloons or stents. In this context, the endovascular treatment of FP complex lesions (TASC C) continues to develop widely. During endovascular treatment, the quality of the artery preparation has recently been identified as a factor improving outcomes. The dilatation of the artery with an uncoated balloon or POBA (Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty) is the reference method performed before stent placement or drug-coated balloons. However, some new alternatives to prepare the artery have emerged, using no more dilatation but atherectomy (Jetstream™ system). Atherectomy appears to reduce the risk of dissections and bailout stenting and improve the acute procedural results. Its long term outcome, when associated with drug coated balloons (DCB), has recently been demonstrated in the USA to be superior to angioplasty in a single center study JET-SCE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the feasibility of atherectomy, using the Jetstream™ artery preparation associated to DCB treatment (Ranger™ Paclitaxel-Coated balloon), in symptomatic patients with claudication (Rutherford 2 and 3) and with complex de novo FP arterial lesions (TASC C).
Prematurely born children (PC) have academic difficulties related to poorer attention capabilities. Additionally, they often show excessive mobility, quoted as agitation. Some consider it could be related to poorer postural control and impaired perception of gravity vertical. But, this excessive mobility could also be an unconscious way for PC to improve their attention performance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interdependence between postural and cognitive activities in school age PC versus term born children (TC). First, the performance of PC and TC at the Attention Network Test for Children will be analyzed with the use of a mobile versus a classic school chair. Secondly, participants will have to position a stick vertically to measure their perception of vertical gravity. Finally, the spontaneous postural activity of PC and TC (evaluated by the center of pressure displacement) will be studied during the execution of three different attention tasks at different levels of difficulty. Success rate and reaction time will be analyzed for all attention tasks. Moreover, center of pressure displacement calculation will allow evaluation of infants' spontaneous mobility, the precision of their postural control and the attention allocated to their posture.
Appropriate management reduces the mortality of severe trauma victims. This is based on a pre-hospital medical assessment of severity, the initiation of life-saving treatments at the pre-hospital level, and referral to a hospital with human and material resources adapted to the patient's severity. The objective of this research project is to show that the 28-day mortality after severe trauma is lower in a structured health system, compared to a non-structured system.
The purpose of this study is to validate the interest of broadband spectroscopy analysis (femto/attosecond by infrared laser) on liquid biopsies in breast cancer screening.
The R2D2-ICU study will be a prospective, parallel-group, open label, multicenter (6 centers) randomized controlled trial. All consecutive eligible patients will be included. Patients will be randomly assigned (1/1 ratio) to either systematic PR use (systematic use group) or restrictive PR use (restrictive use group). Patients in the restrictive PR group will be subjected to PR only in case of severe agitation defined by a RASS ≥ +3. Physical restraint will consist of wrist straps. In both groups, patients will receive standardized management for analgesia, sedation, delirium detection, weaning and early mobilization according to current guidelines. Concealment will be obtained using a computer-generated randomization scheme of various-sized blocks stratified by center, age (< or ≥ 65 years) and coma at the beginning of invasive mechanical ventilation (D0)) through a centralized 24h/24h internet service. Investigation blinded to group assignment is not feasible. In both arms, patients' arousal will be evaluated twice a day until day 14 with the use of RASS. Patients with a RASS of -5 or -4 will be considered comatose (and will not be assessed for delirium). Patients with a RASS score ≥ -3 will be assessed for delirium with the use of the CAM-ICU scale twice a day.
