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.
This observational study will evaluate the frequency of complications in adult cancer patients with central venous parenteral nutrition and the identification of aggravating factors.
"In so-called ""early onset"" anorexia nervosa (AN), a rare and severe form affecting 8-13 year olds, experts recommend that, as soon as possible, treatment should take place on an outpatient basis, at an age when separation from the usual environment would be particularly unpleasant and deleterious. However, in severe AN, full-time hospitalisation (FTH) is still indicated when somatic and psychiatric instability criteria are met. Thus, the severity and rapidity of undernutrition in children aged 8-13 years suffering from AN (linked on the one hand to the frequency of total aphagia with refusal to drink and on the other hand to the lack of early detection of the disorder, frequently requires emergency FTH, contrary to expert recommendations. This FTH, which lasts on average 3 months in our specialized unit, has certain disadvantages: poor acceptability by the patient and/or his family, increased anxiety symptoms on entry and exit, school dropout, social isolation, coercive experience. In addition, the rate of premature FTH exits - before weight targets are reached - and the frequency of relapses after FTH remain high, making FTH unsatisfactory in terms of cost-effectiveness. Some families refuse FTH, which is classically long, exposing themselves to the risk of complications that can occur if the disorder is inadequately treated: somatic, acute and chronic complications; risk of progression to another eating disorder. In recent years, day hospitalization (DH) care has been developed for adolescents aged 11 to 18 years and adults (Madden, 2015). The few studies available are in favour of comparable efficacy, better acceptability and lower cost in the management of moderate AN compared to prolonged FTH, but also better social adaptation.In children aged 8 to 13 years with AN, whose somatic condition requires continuous monitoring in a hospital setting (the usual indication for FTH), a DH cannot reasonably be proposed immediately given the severity of the situation. Our hypothesis is that it would however be possible, in these children, to shorten the duration of FTH and to continue DH treatment once the critical period has passed at the somatic level, with comparable efficacy, best acceptability, best progress in terms of school and social integration, and lower cost.
The current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is complicated by pneumonia (15 to 20% of cases) requiring hospitalization with oxygen therapy. Almost 20 to 25% of hospitalized patients require intensive care and resuscitation; half die. The main cause of death is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, some deaths have been linked to pulmonary embolism (PE). Recognition of PE is important because there is specific treatment to limit its own mortality. The identification of biological parameters of hemostasis predictive of thromboembolic disease is crucial in these patients. To evaluate the frequency of PE in the patients having to be hospitalized is to practice of a systematic thoracic angiography scanner in the patients having no contra-indication for its realization, as well as during hospitalization in patients deteriorating without any other obvious cause. The thromboembolic events and disturbances of the coagulation system described in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonitis suggest that this viral infection is associated with an increase in the activation of coagulation contributing to the occurrence of thrombosis and especially from PE.
This study is designed to primarily evaluate the safety and efficacy of U3-1402 in participants with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy and will explore clinical benefit according to human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) tumor expression level in otherwise refractory tumors.
Cancer is a disease that requires long-term management, especially now that medical advances have transformed most cancers from an acute to a chronic condition. Most of the time, therefore, the help provided by family and friends is long-term. The negative impact of oncological care on the quality of life of family caregivers has already been studied. The UCOGB carried out a study in 2014 on the primary caregivers of cancer patients aged 70 and over at inclusion and at 3 and 6 months of oncogeriatric care. This study showed that several factors were significantly related to the caregiver's quality of life: the caregiver's age, perception of burden and patient autonomy (18). However, the evolution of quality of life and burden at 5 years has, to our knowledge, never been evaluated.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common auto-inflammatory disease (prevalence: 1-5 / 10,000 inhabitants). It is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes variants of the Pyrine inflammasome. Inflammasomes are protein complexes of the innate immunity that produce pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β). In vitro, our preliminary results demonstrated that the activation of the inflammatory pyrine (measured by the concentration of interleukin-1β) by kinase inhibitors is significantly increased in FMF patients compared to healthy subjects. Furthermore, a measurement of cell death gave significant results in differentiating the patients from the controls. The performance of this functional has been tested, fast and simple diagnostic test on common mutations and wish to assess its characteristics for MEFV mutations. The investigators hypothesize that this quick and simple functional test can serve as a diagnostic tool for FMF and can quantitatively discriminate against patients with different mutations (genotypes).
Regular physical activity (PA) is essential throughout bariatric surgery (BS) management, especially for the long-term maintenance of weight loss. To optimize physical activity counseling and monitoring, the use of technology seems appropriate and effective. A recent meta-analysis provided proof of efficacy for mobile technology to increase physical activity or weight loss in the short term. Videoconferencing may also be effective, especially as it reduces the barriers related to face-to-face physical activity interventions. Both technologies (mobile and videoconferencing) seem particularly interesting for bariatric surgery management, but their long-term effects on physical activity maintenance are unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying their effectiveness, such as technology acceptability and motivational processes, have not been examined. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of two technology-based (mobile technology and videoconferencing) PA programs after BS compared to standard care and to assess the contribution of acceptability and motivational mechanisms in explaining these effects on behavioral measure of PA, physical measures, and health indicators. One hundred and twenty young women who have undergone BS in the last 3 to 6 months will be included. The volunteers will be randomly assigned to one of three arms: standard care (CONTROL), access to an internet-based physical activity program delivered by an eHealth platform associated with an activity bracelet (ACTI-MOBIL), or access to a physical activity program delivered via videoconferencing (ACTI-VISIO). The primary outcome is the distance traveled during a 6-minute walk test relativized according to Capadaglio's theoretical distance. Secondary outcomes are behavioral measures of physical activity, physical measures, health indicators, technology acceptability, and motivational concepts. Data will be collected baseline (T0), 3 months (T3) and 6 months later (T6). The technology groups will receive a PA program for 12 weeks (between T0 and T3). A mixed model approach will be used to analyze the change in outcomes over time for each group. This study will provide information on the effects of two technology-based physical activity programs (mobile technology and videoconferencing) after bariatric surgery. Based on the results, recommendations for implementing these programs will be made.
Primary Objective: To determine whether Amcenestrant (SAR439859) in combination with palbociclib improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared with letrozole in combination with palbociclib in participants with estrogen receptor positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have not received any prior systemic anticancer therapies for advanced disease. Secondary Objective: - To compare the overall survival in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the objective response rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the duration of response in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate progression-free survival on next line of therapy. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant, and palbociclib. - To evaluate health-related quality of life in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the time to first chemotherapy in both treatment arms. - To evaluate safety in both treatment arms.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate, in vigilant resuscitation patients, the effect of the use of HYPNO VR on the pain felt during the insertion of a thoracic drain.
Patients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are very often sarcopenic/malnourished at diagnosis (> 60% of cases) and at high risk of rapid clinical deterioration. These patients have important supportive care needs that represent a major challenge for improving treatment tolerance and patient survival and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Malnutrition and sarcopenia (muscle wasting and dysfunction) are associated with an increased risk of death, complications from chemotherapy, infections, emergency procedures and hospitalizations, and increased costs of care. Therefore, malnutrition and sarcopenia represent a major clinical target in GI cancers. Interventions targeting malnutrition/sarcopenia should be implemented as early as possible in patients' pathways, these syndromes being reversible at early stages but not at late stages. A multidisciplinary assessment at diagnosis and therapeutic approach combining nutritional support and and adapted physical activity (APA) in addition to anticancer treatments should be systematically implemented in patients with advanced GI cancers. This type of intervention complies with the standards recommended by the National Cancer Institute (INCa) to promote the practice of physical activity during and after treatment in oncology.
