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.
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low breast cancer who have received prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or developed disease recurrence during or within 6 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy.
The goal of this observational study is to describe the natural history of imprinting disorders (IDs) according to their metabolic profile in all patients (adults and children) affected with an ID regardless of the severity of the disease, with a molecular characterization, with a signed informed consent for all subjects, followed in one partner's center. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can we identify common metabolic profiles for all imprinted diseases? - Which imprinting disorders have an impact on the metabolic profiles of IDs? - Which are the metabolic risks associated to IDs? - Can we use the metabolic profiles for the clinical classification and prognosis of IDs? - Are there common therapeutic approaches for all IDs?
The aim of the vibration intervention proposed in the current study is to allow a better neuromotor recovery in subacute stroke patients when compared with standard rehabilitation alone. These last years, it has been proven that the solicitation of a muscle using vibrations may lead to positive effects on the neuromuscular function. Thus, the aim of the current study is to assess if the addition to a standard rehabilitation program of local vibrations sessions of the dorsiflexor muscles of the paretic limb of stroke patients may allow a better recovery of walking speed (primary outcome). One group using vibrations (i.e. experimental group) and one group with sham vibration (i.e. control group) will take part to this study.

This is a randomized, prospective, single-center trial comparing the efficacy of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) with the addition of cyanoacrylate glue versus PICC placement alone (without glue) in cancer patients.
Obesity and its associated cardiometabolic comorbidities are a major health problem and although their prevalence is increasing in both men and women, evidence shows a faster increase in women, especially in those of childbearing age. In the scientific literature, cardiometabolic risks in women are often considered at menopause, younger women being considered "preserved" or less at risk than men. However, epidemiological studies show that it is essential to study and take into account these risks well before menopause, in particular in women of childbearing age, for their health but also for the health of future generations, considering the intergenerational cycle of women. However, the majority of studies have many limitations concerning the health of women of childbearing age since, in particular, they do not consider the hormonal and therefore physiological specificities of women. Indeed, the natural hormonal variations associated with the menstrual cycle but also the use of hormonal contraception, containing synthetic hormones, are important physiological modulators of these metabolic and nutritional regulations. Interestingly, in a recent narrative review, the investigators pointed out the little existing and reliable data concerning the effect of using oral contraception on the two sides of the energy balance, namely energy expenditure and energy intake. Also, it remains difficult to fully understand these metabolic and nutritional responses and therefore to optimize, whether in terms of primary or tertiary prevention, the health of women. Women using oral contraceptives activated the same brain pathways in response to food stimuli as women without contraception during the luteal phase, whereas these activations differed with respect to the follicular phase. Interestingly, women with overweight or obesity showed similar effects in terms of weight loss in response to an intervention including calorie restriction, a physical activity program and psychological support in women with and without hormonal contraception. However, while women without hormonal contraception managed to maintain the lost weight, women with contraception had a significant weight gain mainly due to an increase in their food intake. Conversely, in young healthy women following a calorie restriction of 500 kcal per week for one month, women with hormonal contraception showed greater weight loss than those without. Several parameters can potentially explain these differences in results, such as weight status, but also the nature of the intervention (i.e. caloric restriction only vs combined energy restriction and physical activity). It is indeed recognized that the level of physical activity and sedentary behaviours influence the energy expenditure of rest and exercise and also the control of appetite; the investigators have recently shown that this level of physical activity modifies the cardiometabolic responses following a meal in healthy men. This underlines the importance of considering inter-individual parameters, such as the level of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle as a predominant factor in nutritional and energy regulation at rest and during physical exercise, a key factor in energy regulation. In general, studies in women concerning the parameters of the energy balance are heterogeneous in terms of the characteristics of the population, the methodology used and do not take into account all the metabolic and nutritional responses that make it possible to understand these regulations. Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of hormonal status (women with and without hormonal contraception) on the fuel utilization during low-intensity physical exercise in women of childbearing age according to their level of physical activity.
The use of mechanical ventilation in intensive care concerns the majority of patients, most often to compensate for respiratory failure, but for other organic failures requiring therapeutic artificial coma. During the sedation phase, many elements of management can modify the patient's clinical parameters. Indeed, mechanical ventilation with a positive expiratory pressure mainly modifies the venous return by decreasing it, and therefore many modifications of the hemodynamic parameters result from it. In addition, other elements of management, such as iterative fillings, vasopressor and inotropic amines, as well as sedative drugs not only modify the hemodynamics, but also the ventilatory mechanics. Extubate a patient in intensive care is always complex, because the assessment must be multifactorial and this is not without risk for the patient. Many complications can arise if it ends in failure. They can be linked to mechanical causes (laryngeal oedema, tracheal stenosis, pneumothorax...) but also to non-mechanical causes, such as inappropriate sedation, overload, neuromuscular deficit. Extubation is primarily based on the patient's level of consciousness, as well as the successful progress of the patient during a ventilatory weaning trial, carried out after a return to spontaneous ventilation with inspiratory support. This ventilatory weaning test precedes extubation and is performed for any patient intubated for more than 48 hours. Since the 1950s, ultrasounds have become more and more important in the field of medical diagnosis and therapeutic decision support, even more recently in the world of intensive care. The contribution of echocardiography in a patient in the process of extubation has already been evaluated and has proven to be a valuable aid. For nearly 20 years, the use of pulmonary ultrasound has emerged and allows rapid diagnosis at the patient's bedside of mechanical anomalies such as gaseous or liquid effusion, an anomaly in the compliance of the pulmonary parenchyma, possibly in link with diaphragmatic dysfunction or even signs in favor of a picture of pulmonary overload, thanks to ultrasound artefacts such as B lines or even alveolar derecruitment by atelectasis. The role of pulmonary ultrasound in helping to decide on extubation remains poorly established, we propose an observational study evaluating the predictive value of chest ultrasound in pre-extubation with the aim of determining if ultrasound signs are able to predict a potential failure of this extubation. Indeed, the risks of extubation failure being much higher than those of ventilatory weaning failure, it seems necessary to focus our research on this component. This study must include patients in spontaneous mechanical invasive ventilation with pressure support, presenting the criteria for a ventilatory weaning test in view of a potential extubation.
Impact of attention on obsessive through the THOUGHT-scale (Troublesome Human Obsessions and Untargeted General Habitual Thoughts Scale): a description of the content of thoughts according to the level of attention demanded by the environment in patients with obsessive disorder compulsive disorder (OCD) and patients without OCD" Validation of THOUGHTS.
Several studies have demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency at birth is a risk factor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, in an animal model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia vitamin D overdose has also been associated with an increased mortality and an increased lung injury. Such vitamin D overdose has been frequently reported in hospitalized neonates receiving the current supplementation. The hypothesis is that vitamin D overdose is an independent risk factor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death among infants born below 31 weeks gestational age excluding infants with vitamin D deficiency. This retrospective cohort study will include all infants born before 31 weeks of gestation (WG), who were hospitalized in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during at least 10 days, for who at least one 25OH vitamin D determination was performed before 36 WG corrected age and whose parents are not opposed to the study. A descriptive analysis of the cohort depending on the occurrence of vitamin D overdose will be performed. A multivariate analysis will determine if vitamin D overdose is an independent risk factor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death among preterm infants, adjusting on the covariates known to be associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
PLATA aims to develop an algorithm to identify vocal biomarkers of Alzheimer's dementia. Using data collected as part of routine care, speech patterns will be compared to known biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid 1-42 and p-Tau in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). If biomarkers of speech can be identified in Alzheimer's disease, it is possible that patients and research participants will no longer need to undergo need to undergo the intensive and invasive baseline biomarker methods currently used, such as lumbar punctures and PET scans.
