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.
Acute bronchiolitis is a common disease in children under the age of two, caused mainly by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Furthermore, given the same medical history, it is still very difficult to predict the course and severity of the infection at the onset of symptoms, Some studies have highlighted the importance of the microbiota (intestinal, oral or nasopharyngeal) and of the immune response to RSV in children, We will include 80 children under 2 years old with hospitalized bronchiolitis and non-hospitalized bronchiolitis. Oral, nasal and stool samples will be taken to study the various microbiota in search of dysbiosis. A capillary blood sample will be taken for immune studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK-6194 in adult participants with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The primary hypothesis is that at least 1 of the MK-6194 arms is superior to placebo in the primary endpoint of percentage of participants with systemic lupus erythematosus responder index (SRI-4) response at Week 28.
This is a retrospective, exploratory, multi-center, translational, 3 cohorts case control matched study conducted in patients harboring a solid tumor with poor prognosis who presented a long-term (case) and standard (standard) survival. Patients with: - Cohort A: metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma - Cohort B: glioblastoma IDHwt - Cohort C: extensive small cell lung cancer This research aims to integrate data generated from clinical records, imaging, multi-omics and bioinformatics approaches to discriminate case and control and then to identify new therapeutic targets. Analyses will be performed depending on the tumor samples available with at least 3 omics levels and according to scientific advances; genomic, epigenomic, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomic, microbiomic.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter ablation using pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in an established treatment strategy for AF. Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal ablation modality which has recently been introduced in clinical practice with the aim of improving PVI efficacy and safety. The aim of this study is to analyse whether PFA generates a lower inflammatory reaction as compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
This registry aims to collect patient data on cardioneuroablation for vasovagal syncope from multiple centers in France. The aim is to evaluate success rates, compare techniques and help institutions set up their own cardioneuroablation program
The increase in activity within medical biology laboratories linked to the arrival of new markers (in cardiology, oncology, infectious diseases, etc.) and the acceleration of technical progress have created a prominent place for automated systems and their reagent kits within these establishments. It is in this context that CerbaXpert took the initiative to set up this research project for the collection of prospective biological samples and their analysis. It transcribes both a process of continuous improvement but also scientific development, making it possible to provide new and/or complementary data in order to improve the operation of automated systems and their reagents within medical biology laboratories. These data obtained in current practice via this study will also be compared with the technical information provided by the manufacturers of the reagents and their automatic devices.
Patients at higher risk of progression to cirrhosis and clinical deleterious outcomes are those that have a high grade of necroinflammation together with significant fibrosis. This defines a level of disease severity which is called "at-risk NASH". Currently registrational trials for NASH include only patients with at-risk NASH so it is predictable that when a drug will be approved for NASH it will be in patients with at-risk NASH. It is therefore important to be able to diagnose non-invasively patients with at-risk NASH. Also, the use of NIS4 in clinical trials or in the clinic has the potential to significantly reduce unnecessary liver biopsies by identifying patients with a lower risk of disease progression. GENFIT, a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with metabolic and chronic liver diseases, is developing an in vitro diagnostic test for at-risk NASH. The test is calledNIS4™ and integrates four independent biomarkers - miR-34a-5p, A2M, YKL-40 and HbA1c. The output is a score from 0 to 1 with threshold values that identify patients at low risk and high risk of at-risk NASH with intermediate values representing indeterminate results. The objective of the program is to complete the development of the predictive and usable NIS4 score and to evaluate the impact of fasting or not fasting on the physiological stability, variability and robustness of circulating biomarkers for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis over a 30-day period.
In humans, alcohol-related dysbiosis exists with a decrease in bacteroides. This dysbiosis is responsible for the breakdown of the intestinal barrier by a decrease in the synthesis of protective mucus, and some proteins involved in tight junctions or a decrease in defensin (Reg3b, Reg3g) which promotes bacterial growth and ultimately bacterial translocation. The microbiota of a patient with alcoholic hepatitis is different from that of a patient without alcoholic hepatitis. Acute alcoholic hepatitis has a severe prognosis and corticosteroids are the only first line therapy option, with better survival at 28 days versus placebo. However, mortality remains high at 30% at 3 months, which highlights the importance of seeking intestinal microbiota profile on treatment response. The determination of one or more intestinal microbiota signatures associated with the treatment response Corticosteroids plus FMT or Corticosteroids plus placebo will allow the clinician to have a simple and rapid test obtained in 16S RNA analysis to predict the therapeutic response and potentially the best treatment to adopt and to address medical and medico-economic stakes. The investigators will first characterize the alcohol-induced dysbiosis by a whole microbiota sequencing in the different groups. Specific bacterial species identify by DNA sequencing should be confirmed by qPCR of 16S rDNA to determine a fingerprint of sAH microbiota. Metabolic properties of intestinal microbiota, such as production of short chain fatty acids, will be analyzed by using HPLC. In the sAH group, evolution of intestinal microbiota will be observed by shotgun DNA sequencing between the day 0 and the day 7 of corticosteroids treatment. The analysis of sAH patients' microbiota (day 0) will allow us to obtain a non-responder profile to corticosteroids that can be used as a prognostic marker to use in the clinic. The deliverable is the bacterial fingerprint of the treatment response and its valuation is its use as a predictive tool of the response.
The FAME-II trial was a prospective, multicenter, multinational, multi-continental, randomized clinical trial with an 'all comers' design. The overall purpose of the FAME-II trial was to compare the clinical outcomes, safety and cost-effectiveness of FFR-guided PCI plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) versus OMT alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease and in whom both PCI and medical treatment can be considered on the basis of the presently existing scientific evidence. FAME-II was conducted from 2009 to 2012 and 1-year, 2-year and 5-year results have been published. The purpose of this 10-Year Follow-up is to evaluate the 10-year major adverse cardiac event rate (MACE, defined as all-cause death, documented myocardial infarction, unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization). Patients will have to sign a specific informed consent for the present 10-year follow-up. This study will be conducted for about approximately 6 months.
Small vessel disease (SVD) accounts for 25% of strokes and is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Unlike other causes of stroke, SVD manifests itself years before the stroke by the accumulation of tissue damage. Although heterogeneous, these lesions appear on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as white matter hypersignals (WMH). In this context, the ANR SUMMIT project will characterize these lesions in vivo to develop new markers in the early stages of stroke. It is subdivided into 4 work packages, the third one being promoted by CHRU de Tours.
