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.
Pectus carinatum is a deformation of the thoracic wall causing an aesthetic prejudice. Since 2011, our team uses a dynamic compression system to treat this deformation. It is a harness that the patient wears all day long for an average duration of 1 year, and that remodels the chest by exerting a moderate pressure on it. The local cohort is one of the largest in the world. The few previous publications have shown the validity of this method, but the prognosis factors for success of this innovative treatment are not yet identified.
The occurrence of cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infections appears to be more frequent than in other viral respiratory infections, probably due to a singular pathophysiology of this coronavirus. The lack of characterization of cardiovascular damages linked to Covid-19 could have medium and long-term consequences on the prognosis of patients. This problematic could lead to a second major public health problem linked to Covid-19 and it is therefore crucial to keep monitoring and screening patients at risk. In this context of emerging infectious diseases, of poorly characterized cardiovascular damages during infection and of absence of data on the long-term evolution of the infection, the investigators propose to carry out a prospective and observational cohort study focused on the evaluation and the systematic cardiovascular follow up of patients who survived an episode of Covid-19, regardless of their cardiovascular profiles.
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin have been proposed as treatment of COVID-19 patients, but few reports have assessed this combination therapy in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Many raised concerns regarding the potential cardiac toxicity of this association. The purpose of this monocenter retrospective observational study is to evaluate the safety of a short term treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in critically ill patients admitted in ICU for severe COVID-19 with respiratory failure. The main objective is to assess the incidence of severe cardiac arrhythmia e.g torsade de pointes and cardiac arrest or sudden death, during the treatment period.
The COVID-19 epidemic (Coronavirus Disease 2019) currently raging in France is an emerging infectious disease linked to a virus of the genus coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Epidemiologically, acute myeloblastic leukemias (AML) are the most common of acute leukemias. The incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is 900 new cases in France in 2018, of which 57% in humans. The treatments administered to AML and ALL patients induce variable immunosuppression: neutropenia, neuropathy, deficits in humoral or cellular immunity or combinations of these deficits. Patients with AML or ALL therefore represent a population at high risk of developing a serious form in the event of infection with SARS-CoV-2. To date, no data is available in the literature to assess the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in the population of patients with acute leukemia. The main objective of the study is to determine the clinical and biological prognostic factors during SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with acute leukemia.
This survey is performed to examine if during the Covid's crisis, the practitionner's have respected the modalities of the law about the end of life, in particular concerning limitations and stop of therapeutics
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, responsible of COVID-19, is accompanied by many venous thromboembolic events. Antithrombotic treatment is the cornerstone of management of many neurovascular diseases (NVDs) and the benefit-risk ratio is crucial to avoid hemorrhagic complications. Therefore, in non-severe COVID-19 patients affected by NVDs, the diagnostic of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is challenging. Using bedside Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) of lower limbs, this study investigated the rates of DVT in these patients in stroke unit.
Lynch Syndrome increases Endometrial Cancer Occurrence in women due to failure in MisMatch Repair System. Lifetime Cumulative risk of developing endometrial Cancer is approximatively 40% in women with Lynch Syndrome. Endometrial cancer is the third women cancer in France. Many risk factors are known in general population. Lots of factors are related to over exposure to estrogen. Data about influence of general risk factors in Women with Lynch Syndrome are poor. Recently, a cohort study appears to have shown a significant decrease in the risk of endometrial cancer with multiparity, the use of hormonal contraception and late menopause in Lynch women. The impact of weight and certain metabolic parameters on the occurrence of endometrial cancers remains poorly known to this day.
In 2010, the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) panel published consensus-based recommendations on the diagnosis and classification of hyperglycemia in pregnancy. Cognizant that milder degrees of hyperglycemia would also be detected by early pregnancy testing, the IADPSG recommended that fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the range of 5.1-6.9 mmol/l should be considered diagnostic of early Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) even if the level of proof for this recommendation is very low regarding to prognosis. This threshold was extrapolated from the FPG value used between 24 and 28 weeks. In France, a FPG is proposed at the first prenatal visit for women with risk factors of GDM. Early GDM is diagnosed if FPG is ≥ 5.1 mmol/l, leading to an intensive metabolic management. Data have shown that GDM prevalence increased rapidly from 5.9% in 2009 to 9.3% in 2014. 26.9% of women with hyperglycemia during their pregnancy but without known diabetes are treated before 22 weeks' gestation (WG). More recent data from Italy and China, where IADPSG diagnosis criteria were applied, have strongly challenged this recommendation, and showed that early FPG ≥ 5.1mmo/L is poorly predictive of later GDM. No prior studies have demonstrated benefits to early screening and management. In 2016, the IADPSG members have suggested that the use of the FPG threshold ≥5.1 mmol/l for the identification of GDM in early pregnancy is not justified by current evidence
This is a European observational cohort study (data research) involving multiple centres to look at the potential impact of COVID infection on patients with rare skin diseases examining factors such as comorbidity, protection factors, and clinical and/or therapeutic factors. The data collected may provide additional information on the situation of patients and, on a wider basis, provide useful data applicable to the general population.
Background : Patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) are characterized by increased red blood cell (RBC) fragility and a loss of RBC deformability. While the clinical variability of the disease may be heterogenous from one patient to another, some studies reported the occurrence of vascular complications, notably in patients who have been splenectomized. Purpose : The aim of the study is to test the associations between the degree of vascular dysfunction and the extent of hemolysis, the amount of circulating microparticles, the level of erythrosis and the degree of RBC biophysical alterations. Abstract : Recent studies reported the occurrence of vascular complications in patients with HS, notably in patients who have previously been splenectomized. However, the exact reasons of these complications are unknown and no study investigated the vascular function in HS patients. Main objective Highlight the presence of altered vascular function in HS patients and test the relationships with the level of hemolysis and circulating microparticles. Secondary objectives To evaluate the associations between clinical severity and 1) the level of vascular dysfunction and 2) several biomarkers (hemolysis, hematological parameters, circulating microparticles, erythrosis, RBC biophysical properties).
