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 assess overall response rate [ORR, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)], of daratumumab in participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [a cancer of the lymph nodes (or tissues)-NHL] and to evaluate association between ORR and CD38 expression level in order to determine a threshold for CD38 expression level in each NHL subtype, above which daratumumab activity is enhanced in participants with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma.
The aim of this study is to correlate the intensity and the duration of a mechanical strain, applied over the skin of a bedridden paraplegics, with the microvascularization parameters (oxygen saturation, blood flow and blood volume) and the early inflammatory mechanism. We want to detect the early stage of irreversible damage for each patient. To achieve this goal, we measure some specifics data over a group of 48 paraplegics admitted in the hospital for a pressure ulcer surgical treatment. The patients are randomly distributed in 4 groups. First the interface pressure between the patient body and the air mattress is recorded continuously for 3 hours (= the repositioning patient frequency): we have the pressure over each point of the patient body in contact with the mattress on this time lap. Then, we will measure the microvascularization parameters, using an O2C medical device over a trochanter on a specific anatomical area which will be thereafter biopsied. Finally, depending on the group in which they were randomly distributed, the patient will undergo a muscle biopsy on his or her trochanter at 0h, 1h, 2h or 3h after they lie down on the air mattress. This way, we will be able to determine the effect of the mechanical strain duration on the physiologic parameters. The following day, the patient is undergoing his or her surgery for removing the necrotic area of the bedsore. At the same time, we will recover some of the sample near the bedsore which would serve as a maximum inflammatory response. Then a second muscle biopsy will be performed on an innervated area to be able to determine a basal concentration of biomarkers. The inclusion period for this study will be 3 years. All the patients are followed for 24 hours then they will be followed by medical staff in their bedsore resection setting. The data gained for this study will hopefully help the scientific world to achieve a better understanding of the pressure ulcer aetiology. They will also be helpful to achieve a mobilization of the patient specific of his or her inherent characteristics with a high sensitivity level. This way we will have a more efficient bedsore prevention.
The objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy and safety of BEGEDINA® in subjects with steroid resistant acute graft versus host disease (GvHD). GvHD is a rare and complex immunological disease occurring in some recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) and affecting principally the skin, liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tissues. The disease is life threatening and may be acute or chronic and the first choice treatment for patients with acute GvHD (Grade II or higher) is the immunosuppressive corticosteroid hormone methylprednisolone. However, some GvHD patients may be resistant to this treatment leading to disease progression and a high rate of morbidity and mortality, primarily from infections and/or multi-organ failure. There are currently no other satisfactory therapies. BEGEDINA® is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody that recognises and binds to CD26 on CD4+ T lymphocytes. BEGEDINA® reduces the activity of CD26 in these cells and inhibits the immune response leading to improvement in patients that have shown steroid resistance. This study is therefore aimed at demonstrating that BEGEDINA® is a safe and effective treatment for steroid-resistant GvHD patients where no other such treatments are currently available.
This randomized, open-label study was designed to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab with gemcitabine + cisplatin or carboplatin in PD-L1 selected participants with chemotherapy-naive, Stage IV squamous NSCLC. The study was closed due to low patient enrollment and the Sponsor's decision to include patients with squamous NSCLC into the GO29431 study, NCT02409342. Therefore the planned objectives of this study are no longer applicable and formal analyses of efficacy or safety have not been performed.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in adult participants with active nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-AxSpA) measured by the reduction in signs and symptoms of nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-AxSpA).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of JNJ-54861911 in participants in the early Alzheimer's disease (AD [progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks]) spectrum that have completed a Phase 1b or Phase 2 clinical trial with JNJ-54861911, who are willing to continue their assigned treatment.
This is a multicenter, controlled, randomized, prospective, non-inferiority, double blind intervention trial to evaluate the children growth (at 6, 9 and 12 months) using a rice hydrolysed protein formula compared to an extensively cow's milk protein hydrolysed formula for the management of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA).
This study will primarily evaluate the safety and efficacy of andecaliximab in adults with active Crohn's disease. The study will consist of a Double-Blind Phase of 8 weeks followed by an Open-Label Extension. Participants who complete the Double-Blind Phase will be eligible to enroll in the optional Open-Label Extension for an additional 44 weeks. Participants who complete Week 52 assessments will be eligible to enter the Extended Treatment Phase to continue treatment with andecaliximab for an additional 156 weeks.
Clopidogrel has been shown to slow down tumor progression in orthoptic pancreatic murine tumor. In a pilot study, the rate of microparticles was correlated with response rate of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The aim of the study is; - to compare the phenotypes of coagulation, the tumor progression and metastasis formation with and without clopidogrel treatment in association with chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic cancer patients - to correlate the decrease of microparticles levels after one month of chemotherapy with tumor response (ancillary study)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which ultimately leads to myelin damage and axonal loss. The disease is complex and multifactorial, but the key pathogenic event appears to be an uncontrolled response of components of the immune system (T and B lymphocytes) to myelin proteins. No definitive treatment is available for MS, however immunomodulatory and immunosuppressant drugs act as disease-modifying agents (DMDs). Unfortunately, the current treatments demonstrate partial efficacy in targeting the deleterious immune reactions. According to the present knowledge of the pathophysiology of MS, an ideal therapeutic strategy would be to modulate or suppress the aggressive immune process, to protect axons and neurons from degeneration, and to enhance repair and facilitate remyelination. A specific form of stem cells, called adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has shown remarkable ability to modulate the immune response. This study will evaluate the safety of injecting MSCs in people with MS.
