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.
Microbial keratitis is a severe and often blindness-inducing pathology which represents today the first reason for long-term hospitalization (more than 5 days) in ophthalmology. Its diagnosis is clinical and leads to an immediate hospitalization in the presence of serious criteria (Mackie classification). The entire process of microbiological diagnosis requires several days before etiological confirmation and therefore delays the initiation of targeted therapy. Recently, new PCR systems allowing the detection of 18 to 27 pathogens in 75 minutes have been developed. Their use could thus be transposed to ophthalmology by adapting the microbiological diagnostic technique to samples currently taken by swabbing the cornea. The investigators will compare their diagnosis performance versus conventional methods on patients who suffered for a microbial keratitis with severity criteria.
Assessing the response to vascular filling in shock is a challenge in emergency medicine. The mitral annulus velocity measured by tissue Doppler (E') has recently been characterized as sensitive to the preload conditions of a patient. The investigators hypothesize that the E' variation (∆E') before and after fluid filling allows us to assess the response to vascular filling. The investigators hypothesize that the ∆E' has a good diagnostic performance to establish whether a patient is responsive to fluid filling, defined by an area under the ROC curve greater than 0.75.
The aim of the MAPEG 2 study is to explore gustatory function and to follow its evolution in the 5 following groups of participants: - Healthy subjects - Participants with isolated cognitive complaint - Participants with minor neurocognitive disorder - Participants with mild Alzheimer-type major neurocognitive disorders - Participants with moderate Alzheimer-type major neurocognitive disorders For this purpose, we want to compare the results of the following tests: - Subjective taste tests (tasting solutions, answering food preference questionnaires), - Gustatory evoked potential (GEP) parameters, recorded by electrodes placed on the scalp, - And nutritional parameters (hormones of food intake by blood test, measurement of the global body composition). Identifying and following the evolution of early taste disorders in case of cognitive disorders could improve the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in two ways: - To allow an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and thus improve its management, - To define groups of subjects at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in later years.
Reducing surgical waiting time has been shown to be associated with a reduction in postoperative morbidity and mortality in this type of surgery. The use of a gradation of surgical emergencies makes it possible to prioritise them in an objective, consensual manner and to carry them out within a theoretical expected waiting time relative to the degree of urgency. The investigators hypothesise that exceeding the theoretical expected waiting time relative to the degree of urgency defined by the gradation of surgical emergencies is associated with an increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality in emergency surgery. The objective is to assess the impact on post-operative morbidity and mortality of waiting times exceeding the theoretical expected time by grading the surgical emergencies of patients undergoing emergency surgery.
Dental periapical damages can have various reasons and is reflected by a radiolucent lesion on complementary imaging: angulated retro-alveolar (RA) radiographs, dental panoramic radiographs, and three-dimensional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). For the radiographic detection of these deep periodontal lesions, the dental panoramic represents a first approach commonly performed with relatively low radiation. The investigation can be followed by retroalveolar radiology imaging that are more localized and more precise. However, using these techniques, the detection rates of these lesions are low (20% and 36% respectively), it is necessary to use three-dimensional tomographic investigation to be more discriminating (69%). The gold standard imaging for detection of these lesions is CBCT followed by retroalveolar radiography (~2x less sensitive than CBCT) and panoramic radiography (~2x less sensitive than RA). Although not a full-thickness radiograph, the dental panoramic has the advantage of being more commonly performed while being less radiating than CBCT and giving a global view of the dental arches on a single image. The detection of periapical lesions is done after a clinical assessment and a visual appreciation of the complementary examinations. The aim of this project is to improve the detection of periapical lesions, by developing an algorithm able to identify them on a panoramic dental radiograph. This algorithm is based on a deep learning system trained with reference data including panoramic dental imaging and CBCT with an acquisition interval of less than 3 months. The model is based on a previous work, will improve the quality of the initial data (using CBCT), using innovative artificial intelligence algorithms (transfer learning).
This study is being conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCB099280 in participants with advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BMS-986449 alone and in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
Radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardias (VTs) is the gold standard treatment of refractory VTs in patients with ischaemic heart disease. In this setting, ablation is usually performed endocardially. However, even after a procedural success there is a high risk of recurrence, particularly due to the inability to create transmural lesions. Indeed, only the endocardium of the LV has been ablated, while a significant part of the arrhythmia substrate may be located on the other side of the myocardial thickness, on the epicardial side of the LV. First described in 1996, epicardial ablation, performed via a percutaneous subxyphoid approach, has since undergone considerable development. Electrophysiologists often use a double endo- and epicardial approach as first line therapy for the ablation of VTs complicating myocarditis or arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle, where the substrate is most often epicardial. For VT in ischaemic heart disease, electrophysiologists perform endocardial ablation, and often perform epicardial ablation only after several endocardial failures. Several observational studies suggest that a combined endo- and epicardial approach as first line therapy is associated with a reduced risk of VT recurrence. Since recurrent VT in patients with ischaemic heart disease as a prognostic impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, it appears essential to optimise rhythm management by ablation, by offering a combined approach from the as first approach to reduce the risk of recurrences. The aim of our prospective, multicentre, controlled, randomized study is therefore to compare the rate of VT recurrence after ablation performed as first line therapy either by endocardial approach alone or by combined endo-epicardial approach.
The purpose of this study is to identify possible links between conditions for carrying out a blood patch (BP) to treat accidental post dural puncture acute headache (PDPH) in the early post partum period and occurrence of chronic headaches at 1 and 6 months.
The aim of this post-market clinical follow up study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of topical application of Mucogyne® gel in the process of wound healing, when used in accordance with its approved labeling, in the context of postpartum perineal wounds.
