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.
In this study, the investigators aim to describe the hemodynamic consequences of nasal high-flow measured during right heart catheterization and echocardiography. The research hypothesis is that nasal high-flow would increase cardiac output in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The concomitant echocardiography will allow to describe its sensibility to detect cardiovascular consequences of nasal high-flow.
The students behave differentially before an exam. This study aims at determining the influence of all these behaviors on the perceived quality of life of students and their performance during their OSCE.
Moderate and late premature babies (32-36 weeks of amenorrhoea) account for around 6% of births, but 20% of neonatal deaths. These children also have an increased risk of neonatal morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae compared with full-term newborns. In the case of preterm birth, optimal antenatal, birth and postnatal management is necessary to prevent neonatal complications and mitigate longer-term consequences. However, we lack knowledge about the management of this at-risk population and the factors influencing their health. This knowledge is needed in the current context of unfavourable trends in neonatal health. Over the last ten years, neonatal and infant mortality has stagnated in France, with France falling behind other European countries. According to the latest European report, France ranks 22nd out of 33 countries. The causes of this stagnation are not well known, but many hypotheses have been put forward, including sub-optimal organisation of care.
Participants will attend up to 3 study visits to collect clinical assessments. The assessments will evaluate participants' symptoms and quality of life to understand disease activity in patients with DOK7-CMS better and may inform future study design.
Rhizarthrosis is a form of osteoarthritis that affects the trapeziometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb, which is more common in women over 50. Genetic and hormonal factors as well as the frequency of certain physical movements may contribute to its appearance. Surgical treatment is recommended if medical treatment fails, and trapezectomy is currently considered the standard method, although 3rd generation trapeziometacarpal prostheses are also available. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic results after surgical treatment of rhizarthrosis: prosthesis versus trapezectomy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate V940 plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected (R0) Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis is that V940 plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.
This research is conducted with the aim of improving the quality of life of laryngectomized patients and their entourage. Worldwide, there are 185,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer per year. In Europe, between 2000 and 2007, the crude annual incidence rates of these cancers were 4.6/100,000 with a 5-year survival rate of 61%. In France, about 30 to 35% of cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract are localized to the larynx, or about 43,000 cases per year. Most patients are men (89%) between 50 and 70 years old. One of the treatments for these cancers is to perform an excision of the larynx thus removing the entire tumor, it is the total laryngectomy. The trachea is thus permanently removed from the skin and the digestive tract becomes independent.
The relationship between exposure to air pollution and spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been poorly studied. Based on data from the literature on other inflammatory pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis, we hypothesize that there is a relationship between exposure to air pollution and the risk of presenting a flare-up in SpA patients following and living in Franche-Comté (France). Primary objective:The potential relationship between exposure to air pollution (nitrogen dioxide, fine particles with a diameter of less than 10 or 2.5 microns and Ozone) and the onset of a spondyloarthritis flare-up will be explored in patients with this pathology.
This study is open to adults with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The study is in people with advanced cancer that are eligible for standard of care including chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1 (Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1) immunotherapy. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 that people can tolerate when taken together with standard of care. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants get BI 764532 and different standard treatments as infusions into a vein. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is given for the entire duration of the study. During this time, participants visit the study site regularly. The visits also depend on the response to the treatment. At the study visits, the doctors check the health of the participants, take necessary laboratory tests, and note any health problems that could have been caused by the study treatment.
In the present research study, aiming to explore the links between several psychological factors and chronic pain, the research seeks to develop an inclusive framework to investigate the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in patients' pain perception and overall quality of life throughout their pain management programs. Specifically, attachment styles (AS) and pain-related resilience processes are considered as potential mediators of the effectiveness of chronic pain management programs. Additionally, biological measures are proposed to investigate physiological parameters of pain and to further explore the degree of consistency between self-reported measures, ACEs, ASs, chronic stress, and several epigenetic biomarkers.
