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.
Due to an early brain injury occurring in antenatal or postnatal, cerebral palsy (CP) causes alteration in motor function with posture and gait disorders. It is commonly observed motor performance degradation during adulthood, and the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly known.
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) refers to impaired contraction of the left ventricle, and can lead to heart failure and death. Early identification of LVSD, which often remains asymptomatic for years, is therefore crucial to mitigate the associated risks through appropriate treatment. Echocardiographic screening of asymptomatic individuals is costly, requires access to experts, and the criteria for selecting potential high-risk individuals for screening remain unclear. Unlike echocardiography, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a relatively low-cost procedure, routinely available and requiring little technical training to set up the examination and collect data, making it an interesting tool for early detection of LVSD.
There is high inter-individual variability in the response to feeding, which is determined by multiple interacting factors such as age, sex, genotype, gut microbiota, eating behaviors, physical activity or even socio-demographic factors. Original studies have recently demonstrated the possibility of predicting the postprandial response to the diet of healthy individuals on the basis of in-depth phenotyping, and of offering them foods adapted to their own metabolic capacities according to their belonging to different groups of individuals defined on the basis of the similarity of their metabolic capacities. Due to different life trajectories, inter-individual variability could be amplified upon entry into the aging period, which could explain at least in part why traditional strategies for managing chronic age-related pathologies are insufficient. The investigators aim is to propose a new strategy to better understand inter-individual variability in the response to food in the elderly based on deep phenotyping.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of SOT201 as monotherapy for participants aged 18 years or above with advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors During dose escalation, the recommended dose(s) of SOT201 given every 3 weeks (Q3W) will be determined
Swallowing disorder, or dysphagia, is a lack of protection of the airways during the passage of the food bolus towards the esophagus. Swallowing disorder is characterized by a feeling of discomfort when swallowing, difficult swallowing in elderly people or a blockage felt during the progression of food between the mouth and the stomach, sometimes with falsities. These disorders can be the cause of a loss of appetite and a reduction in food consumption in older people. In the most serious cases, they can lead to aspiration, weakening the pulmonary passages and possibly leading to suffocation. Swallowing disorders constitute an important public health problem due to their prevalence among the elderly. Many early readmissions could be avoided thanks to better quality of care in these patients. In the elderly, the number of comorbidities and the multiplicity of medications and drug intake increase the incidence of swallowing disorders in this population. They constitute a common pathology, probably underestimated and underdiagnosed in the geriatric population. Given the aging of the Martinique population, it is appropriate to offer an easy-to-use, quickly achievable tool for diagnostic purposes, making it possible to quickly identify potential swallowing disorders, and therefore to anticipate meal intake, and on the adaptation of the prescription to a medicinal alternative (before any food or medication taken during hospitalization). In the Geriatric Short-Stay Unit of the Martinique University Hospital, a tool called "Deglut'G", was developed, and has been used since 2015, in order to allow caregivers a rapid, reliable and relevant assessment of swallowing disorders in the elderly, in order to guide care and medication alternatives.It now appears important to validate this tool, by comparing it with the results of examinations of swallowing disorders obtained from a speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and an ENT doctor.
This is a monocentric, retrospective, non-interventional study. The main objective is to describe the populations requesting assisted reproductive techniques (ART) with sperm donation ; and compare them between groups depending on their parental project.. The secondary objectives are to describe the center support process in the context of ART with sperm donation, to determine the initial/final orientation of support and the time to care The statistical analysis will be carried out to compare these parameters between groups depending on their parental project The study is taking place in the reproductive medicine department of the regional university hospital centre in Nancy.
The purpose of this observational study in France is to evaluate changes in satisfaction with care in participants with solid tumors who transitioned from receiving immunotherapy treatment in the hospital outpatient setting to receiving treatment at home
Opioid-free anesthesia is a new approach to anesthesia, described and used for many years. If it represents many advantages by reducing the side effects of morphine, its precise place in current practice and in terms of postoperative rehabilitation remains to be determined. Studies are not yet numerous enough to affirm a real benefit. Obese patients are potentially able to benefit from the reduction in the use of morphine during surgery, in terms of quality of postoperative analgesia, side effects (respiratory depression, ileus, somnolence) and early rehabilitation.
Single arm phase II study for with primary objective to evaluate the efficacy of PLX038 on response rate for patients with pretreated, metastatic or locally advanced triple negative breast cancer.
The project focuses on non-compliance in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus taking Plaquenil. More than half of patients with chronic illness are not or only poorly compliant with their treatment and lupus is one of them. The investigators want to use an already validated existing questionnaire in English, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8 (MMAS 8). These results will make it possible, after a multivariate study with reference to the gold standard which is hydroxychloroquinemia, to see which exact questions in the questionnaire can be used in general medicine practices in order to detect less or non-compliant patients as early as possible.
