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.
Radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer is a rare tumor and therapeutic options are limited in this setting. Molecular targeted therapies have recently been developed for progressive disease and demonstrated clinical activity, especially with anti-angiogenic agents. For patients with contra-indication to these agents or in case of progression or toxicity during treatment, chemotherapy is usually proposed but this strategy has not been validated by prospective data. The investigators propose to conduct an open single arm phase 2 study to evaluate response rate according to RECIST 1.1 with GEMOX regimen (gemcitabine - oxaliplatin combination) for advanced radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer patients after anti-angiogenic agents or in case of contra-indication to anti-angiogenic therapy.
Rationale: This study will compare head to head in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ineligible for surgery or radiofrequency ablation, the standard treatment arm, transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (TACE-DEB), with the experimental arm, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The investigators hypothesis is that the time to progression is more favorable after SBRT than after TACE-DEB. The expected time to include the required patients for this trial will be four years. To the best of the investigators knowledge this study will be the first in the world that will compare both techniques in a randomized trial. Objective: To assess the time to progression after TACE-DEB and after SBRT in a comparable population of patients diagnosed with HCC. Study design: Randomized, prospective, open-label, and phase II study. Study population: Patients diagnosed with HCC, Child-Pugh grade A, one to three tumors, cumulative diameter ≤ 6cm, and ≥ 18 years old. Intervention: Patients with HCC will be randomized to receive the standard treatment, TACE-DEB loaded with doxorubicin or the experimental arm, SBRT. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this study will be time to progression, defined as time from randomization to radiological progression. Secondary endpoints will be: - Time to local recurrence - Response rate (complete and partial response) - Overall survival - Toxicity - Quality of life.
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of INC280 in combination with erlotinib in the Phase Ib of this study, and to assess the anti-tumor activity and safety of INC280 alone, and in combination with erlotinib, versus platinum with pemetrexed in the Phase II of this study, in adult patients with EGFR mutated, cMET amplified, advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with acquired resistance to prior EGFR TKI.
The QTRAC method is an electrophysiological technique that assesses peripheral nerve axonal excitability, using computerized analysis of the muscular response of musculus abductor pollicis brevis, to series of electrical stimulations of the median nerve. Because of its high sensitivity to small changes in axonal excitability, QTRAC may help improve the follow-up of patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy caused by anti-myelin-associated-glycoprotein antibodies (anti-MAG neuropathy), as axonal excitability is early affected in this disease. The main aim of the study is to compare QTRAC results in anti-MAG neuropathy patients, with QTRAC results in healthy persons (matched for sex and age). A secondary aim is to determine whether or not the disease's clinical severity (measured by quantitative clinical scores) is correlated with the results of the QTRAC and could be predicted by a model based on the several parameters measured in the QTRAC exploration. 100 anti-MAG neuropathy patients will undergo a QTRAC exploration and a thorough neurological examination with clinical scoring. The results will be compared with data (matched by sex and age) from the reference database on healthy subjects, that is provided with the QTRAC software. The investigators expect to prove that QTRAC results are modified in anti-MAG neuropathy patients, and that the clinical severity of the disease can be predicted by a combination of QTRAC-measured parameters.
This is Proof-of-Concept (POC) study to assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety and tolerablity using ceritinib (LDK378) in the treatment of life threatening tumors that are characterized by ALK genetic alteration (and/or overexpression in some diseases).
TERAVECT is a phase III randomized study of patients with digestive neuroendocrine tumors after complete surgical resection of liver metastases treated with In111-Pentetreotide-based adjuvant radiotherapy. In this study, targeted radionuclide therapy is used at an earlier stage of the disease.The objective is to target residual tumor cells and/or micrometastases which escaped surgical resection. Given the poor prognosis associated with recurrence, this treatment should prevent relapse.
Primary purpose: To evaluate the evolution in time of the antiaggregant platelet effect of sertraline (SSRI) compared to placebo in depressive patients with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) and treated as recommended by a double antiplatelet therapy, aspirin and clopidogrel. Hypothesis: The benefits of SSRIs observed in depressive patients with ACS are related to an antiplatelet effect.
This is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of ABBV-838 in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.
Flexors tendon injuries are frequent and serious with a potential of definitive functional aftereffects. In the case of partial injury, the treatment is debated. There are 2 techniques of possible repair, the direct suture and the tangential resection. The investigators have already demonstrated that this last technique was favorable for injuries going to 50 %. In the case of partial section between 50 and 75 %, the investigators think that the technique of tangential resection compared with the direct suture would not increase the risks of secondary breaks, would authorize even an immediate mobilization and would decrease the secondary complications. The main objective is to highlight that the tangential resection is not lower than the classic technique on the clinical plan The secondary objectives are to highlight the non-inferiority of the tangential technique in clinical terms (pains, dexterity, complications), radiologics (MRI, ultrasound) and functional (function, go back to leisures and professional activities)
Intraluminal thrombi adherent to cardiac valves or atria share a common pathophysiology involving the aggregation of activated platelets with phosphatidylserine (PS) expression on the outer layer of the thrombus. They also share common complications, i.e. damages to the underlying myocardium and embolic risk related to thrombus fragmentation. The diagnostic work-up, currently relying on morphologic imaging alone (mainly echography), lacks sensitivity and does not allow to differentiate between active (renewal and growth activity) and quiescent (scarred) thrombus. It is therefore highly desirable to develop a new approach able to non-invasively provide insight on the biological activity of thrombi and to detect embolic events in a single exam. Annexin V is a 36 kDa endogenous glycoprotein which binds PS with nanomolar affinity. Radiolabeled Annexin V has been shown to provide molecular imaging of PS expressed by apoptotic cells or activated platelets. The ability of the imaging agent to bind mural thrombus has been established in vivo in a murine model of abdominal aortic aneurysm and ex vivo in human. It has been also shown that radiolabeled Annexin V allowed in vivo detection of vegetations and secondary pulmonary emboli with high sensitivity in various animal models of infective endocarditis. A radiolabeling kit of annexin V complying with GMP requirements has been developed (rhAnnexine V-128, Advanced Accelerator Applications - Atreus) and is currently available. AnniE is a single centre, proof of concept, interventional, open, non-randomized study aiming at evaluating the sensitivity of 99mTc-Annexin V-128 in the detection thrombus in comparison with reference imaging in patients presenting with either: 1/ infective endocarditis or 2/ atrial thrombus. The safety of the 99mTc-Annexin V-128 will be assessed in a first phase (10 first patients enrolled). Data in relation with safety of the imaging agent will be reviewed by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB); in case of positive answer, the study will continue with a second phase. The data gathered in all patients (n=120) will be used to determine outcome measures.
