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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab, in combination with other therapies, is effective in patients with advanced Non-Small Cell lung cancer
With aging of the persons living with HIV, cardiovascular diseases now account for substantial mortality and morbidity. Stroke frequency grows exponentially with aging and its incidence doubles every decade over 55 years of age. The prognosis of ischemic stroke depends mainly on the care in Stroke Units in the acute phase of the disease (thrombolysis/thrombectomy). It is important that HIV patients are referred to these units in the first hours of a stroke and not to their infectious disease units which is a loss of chance. It would also be important to know whether HIV patients need specific protocols for stroke emergency management. The study aims to compare the functional prognosis after the first occurrence of an ischemic stroke, in patients admitted to a Stroke Unit, whether they are infected or not infected by HIV.
The main objective of this study is to show that the systematic use of a prognostic score as early as possible after the initiation of dialysis in patients over 70 years of age and with a good prognosis at 3 years of dialysis results in an increase in the number of entries on a kidney transplant waiting list at 12 months after the initiation of dialysis. This prospective assessment is carried out as part of a historico-prospective before-after study in parallel with a survey of changes in national practices over the same time period via a here-elsewhere type study. Historical data (i.e the. "before" period) will include incident dialysis cases during the calendar years 2013, 2014 and 2015 before the start of the prospective phase (i.e. "after" period, which is represented by the current declaration); since a preliminary study demonstrated that the data are comparable from 2011 to 2013, we will use the average of data thus obtained. Historical data will be retrieved from the REIN (The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) registry data and will be validated by investigators at each center.
This multicenter open-label extension study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lampalizumab intravitreal injections in participants with GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who completed 96 weeks of treatment in Studies GX29176 (NCT02247479) or GX29185 (NCT02247531). The extension will enroll participants from the parent studies who received investigational lampalizumab, as well as lampalizumab-naive participants exposed to sham comparator. All participants will receive open-label lampalizumab in the present study.
This is an experimental study, prospective, comparative. This clinical trial is randomized and double-blind, Residronate versus placebo. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of risedronate in pain management, after 18 month of traitment, in patients undergoing aseptic joint prosthesis loosening. 2 groups were compared with a 1: 1 ratio. The first group receives active drug (risedronate 75mg) and the second a placebo. Patients are treated during 18 months: 1 tablet residronate/placebo per os two consecutive days each month. Evaluations are planned evry 6 months.
Over the past 30 years, endoscopic transnasal techniques have gained a major interest, and anatomic limits have been widened in order to extend neurosurgical applications. For many years, robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, California, USA) has been greatly developed, especially in urology and gynecology. Robotic-assisted surgery has been performed for pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers in a minimally invasive perspective. A robot-assisted preliminary series demonstrated the ability to approach the sella via oral approach without traumatic injury of nasal or oral cavity. Transoral approach avoids the complications of the endonasal resection: synechia, rhinitis sicca anterior, primary and secondary atrophican rhinitis, and empty nose syndrome. The investigators recently published a cadaveric study of transoral robotic-assisted skull base surgery to approach the sella turcica (Neurosurgical Rev. 2014; 37:609-17). In this study, the investigators will propose a new minimally invasive technique of pituitary surgery by transoral approach assisted by the da Vinci robot in patients with pituitary adenoma.
In the 2010-french perinatal survey, the overall cesarean section (CS) rate during labour was 21 % and 16% to 38% in case of dystocia. The definition of " dystocia " is traditionally based on the research led by Friedman in the 1950's on a restricted population sample. Several studies over the last years seem to indicate that the different phases of labour are longer than originally described by Friedman. Our current hypothesis is that the application of a new definition of dystocia would enable a more appropriate management of labour.
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteogenic tumor occurring in children and young adults, responsible for intense bone pain, which has a tendency to spontaneously heal with mineralization of the nidus, but extremely slowly. This healing may be accelerated in patients taking NSAIDs regularly during a few years. The long delay for healing and intense pain, explain why patients are quickly directed to surgeons or specialized radiology departments for tumor ablation. But percutaneous treatment or surgical excision destruction can expose the patient to a substantial risk in terms of neurologic or joint damages, depending on the location. Bisphosphonates treatment may be an effective alternative to percutaneous treatment by accelerating the natural history of OO.
The main objective of this study is to confirm the existence of risky decision making in a non strategic situation (Iowa Gambling Task) and a deficit of decision making in social situations, linked to greater sensitivity to injustice (Ultimatum Game) and a lower level of trust (Trust Game) in elderly depressed patients with a history of suicide attempts in comparison with older depressed patients without a history of suicidal acts and healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate selective depletion of naïve CD45RA+ T cells from allogenic peripheral blood stem cell graft in children transplanted for combined immune deficiency. The aims of this procedure are to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) while preserving anti-infectious response from donor memory T lymphocytes.
