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.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center sequential phase 2b and Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD4831 administered for up to 48 Weeks in participants with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction > 40%. The study will consist of 2 separate parts, Part A and Part B, approximately 660 participants will be randomised in Part A, 820 in Part B.
Currently, the 2 main techniques of regional loco anesthesia in perioperative analgesic management of the thoracotomy remains the establishment of a thoracic epidural or paravertebral block. On the other hand, there is no standard of perioperative analgesic management in the case of thoracic surgery under video-thoracoscopy. The video-thoracoscopy, by its mini-invasive character, makes the levels of pain lower in post-operative questioning the benefit/risk balance of the paravertebral block. In 2013, Blanco published a new technique of locoregional anesthesia called the block Serratus allowing analgesia of a homolateral thorax hemi The latter by its simplicity of realization and its lesser risk is growing in thoracic surgery. This pilot study finds an equivalence in total oxycodone consumption in the first 2 post-operative days with a number of complications related to the serratus block lower than the serratus block compared to the paravertebral block in preoperative surgery.
To describe the fertility-sparing management of an atypical uterine myoma. Step-by-step video explanation of transcervical biopsy using transabdominal ultrasound guidance, highlighting tips and tricks. Patient consent was obtained for publication of the case.
Sickle Cell Disease is the most frequent genetic disease in the world (representing one birth over 1900, in France). The polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin (i.e., HbS) when deoxygenated is at the origin of a mechanical distortion of red blood cells (RBC) into a crescent-like shape. Sickled RBCs are very fragile and rigid, which lead patients to have severe anemia and to develop frequent and repeated painful vaso-occlusive crises. Furthermore, the repetition of sickling-unsickling cycles causes irreversible damages to the RBCs, which shorten their half-life. Accumulation of free hemoglobin and heme in the plasma is involved in blood vessels lesions in both the macro- and micro- circulation. The resulting vascular dysfunction could explain why limb ulcers are 10 fold more frequent in patients with sickle cell disease compared to the general population and may happen at a younger age. Limb ulcers induce significant morbidity (delay of healing between 9 and 26 weeks in the french cohort), and are associated to significant pain (needing opioid pain-killer) and increase the risk of infection. Cost of care is also increased. Moreover, ulcers induce missed school and work days. Data on cutaneous microcirculation and ulcers physiopathology in patients with sickle cell disease are scarce. We want to realise a microcirculatory and neurological functional study of patients with with and without ulcers and a characterization of biomarkers present in the blood or in the wound fluid which can participate to ulcers physiopathology. To ensure healing, adapted therapeutics are essential. Several strategies are proposed such as: lifestyle measures (venous compression, lower limb elevation, rest), dressings, hyperbaric oxygenotherapy (also used in diabetic ulcers). The project is devoted to study the mechanisms involved in leg ulcers and the effects of therapeutical/behavioral strategies.
The aim of this study is to evaluate PSMA-PET for the detection of occult biological recurrence in patients with prostatic cancer referred to the Brest University Hospital.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a single arm run-in period is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sodium thiosulfate (BYON5667) eye drops to reduce ocular toxicity in cancer patients treated with the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) SYD985
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite the evolution of medical and multimodal treatments, surgical treatment remains the curative management in the localized cancer. Historically, in central lung tumors, pneumonectomy was the gold standard. Currently, bronchial sleeve lobectomy is recommended as first-line treatment over pneumonectomy when complete resection is possible (Grade 2C). In the case of pulmonary artery invasion, lobectomy with arterial resection and reconstruction is now an accepted option for central localized cancer. Despite surgical challenge, arterial sleeve lobectomy is oncologically comparable with pneumonectomy while avoiding the high morbi-mortality. Indeed, this surgery has shown better results than pneumonectomy in terms of overall survival, post-operative mortality, and quality of life. Initially performed in patients with impaired cardio-pulmonary reserves, this parenchymal sparing procedure can be realised in all patients, when anatomical conditions allow a complete resection. In the literature, no study has yet specifically investigated postoperative respiratory function after arterial sleeve lobectomy. The investigators designed a retrospective monocentric study at the University Hospital of Montpellier on 81 lobectomies with pulmonary artery sleeve resection for lung cancer, from January 2001 to December 2020.
Anemia and preoperative iron deficit in cardiac surgery are associated by an increased volume of transfusion and an increase in complications and/or mortality. Recent studies have shown that EPO and iron administration the days preceding the operation results in a reduction of perioperative transfusion for patients with preoperative anemia.
In this retrospective study, the authors assess long term renal outcome in renal transplant recipients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and research factors associated with poor long term renal outcome.
This study aims to test for a " wheelchair effect ", as a potential impact of stigma, during the evaluation of clinical global impression of depression.Elderly patients will be asked to sit in a wheelchair, or in a regular chair during recording a 5 minute video of spontaneous speech collected the iCGI semi-structured interview. The videos are showed to 10 different psychiatrists whom each proceed to 10 iCGI rating assessments.The psychiatrists are blinded evaluators. They are not aware of the real objective of the study.
