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 study will assess the safety and efficacy of the brimonidine intravitreal implant in participants with geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration.
The aim of this research is to assess current care by studying macular function using microperimetry and by then comparing visual acuity results with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) data. The examinations performed are those usually done in the follow-up of epiretinal membrane surgery, apart from microperimetry which is an examination of the central visual field. Patients who undergo ERM surgery usually have a follow-up examination at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the surgery. The consultation includes an assessment of visual acuity, a fundus examination an SD-OCT of the retina. The present protocol will require no additional visits. The microperimetry will be done in addition to the usual follow-up examinations after ERM surgery.
It has been shown that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists (such as ketamine) potentiate analgesic drug's efficacy. Polyamines are allosteric modulators of NMDA receptors. In animal studies, polyamine-free diet has shown antinociceptive properties. This research aims at evaluating analgesic properties of polyamine-low diet after laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in an ambulatory setting.
This is an open-label, multicenter, 2-part study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for GSK2816126 given twice weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion. Part 1 will be conducted in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL), other Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), solid tumors (including castrate resistant prostate cancer) and multiple myeloma (MM) to determine the safety and tolerability of GSK2816126. Expansion cohorts (Part 2) are planned to further explore clinical activity of GSK2816126 at the RP2D in subjects with Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2) wild type and EZH2 mutant positive germinal center B-cell like diffuse large B cell lymphoma (GCB-DLBCL), tFL and MM.
Prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3b psychometric validation study. Primary objectives: To evaluate the psychometric characteristics of reliability and construct validity of the French, Italian and Spanish versions of the PAH-SYMPACT™. To evaluate the ability of the French, Italian and Spanish versions of the PAH SYMPACT™ to detect change. Secondary objective: To assess the safety of macitentan in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Exploratory objective: To explore the effects of macitentan on PAH symptoms and their impact (as measured by the PAH-SYMPACT™) in patients with PAH in France, Italy and Spain.
Lung recruitability is essential for optimal Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in ARDS patients. It is defined as the potential for the non aerated or poorly aerated lung mass to become aerated due to the increase in airway pressure. PEEP contributes to lung recruitment mostly by maintaining some amount of the end-inspiratory recruitment at the end of expiration. PEEP also stabilizes patency of the small airways and minimizes the repeated opening and closing of them during the breathing cycle, which is implicated in a further lung inflammation. The gold-standard method for assessing lung recruitability is lung CT scan. For economic and feasibility this technique cannot be used in routine. Therefore, techniques that can be used at the bedside to measure lung recruitability are very well known. The measurement of recruited lung volume (Vrec) by using pressure-volume curve generated by the ventilator is another reference method to approach lung recruitment. It can be done at the bedside. Chest-X-Ray (CXR) is an interesting option as done in routine in this setting. Furthermore, it allows quantifying aeration thanks numerical image processing and a regional approach. In a preliminary one-center study we found a significant negative correlation between the amount of Vrec and the reduction in lung density measured by digital CXR between 5 and 15 cm H2O PEEP. In present study we would like to extend this previous result on a larger number of patients in a multicenter investigation.
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive targeted radiofrequency tumor ablation (t-RFA) and kyphoplasty (also known as vertebral augmentation) in painful metastatic lesions in the spine.
This study will include 100 patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, split into 2 groups of 50 patients according to their behaviour type, and their adaptation to different factors of stress encountered in their lives: - the first group will consist of patients with a characteristic Type A behaviour profile, that is to say patients with a "proactive, impatient" behaviour pattern - the second group will consist of patients with a characteristic Type B behaviour profile that is to say patients with a "calm, slow" behaviour pattern The objective is to know if the different behaviour patterns are associated with distinct biological markers likely to influence the evolution of the diabetes. Participation in this study will be approximately 1h30, patients will participate ONCE ONLY: 1. they will answer simple questions about their disease and then complete 3 questionnaires each with 14 items. 2. they will meet a clinical psychologist for an interview lasting approximately 45 minutes recorded on an audio recorder. The consultation will be used to seek links between the psyche and the disease. 3. they will provide one blood sample of 12 ml (equivalent to a soup spoon) drawn in the morning.
To satisfy a postmarketing requirement, the sponsor has been requested to conduct a Phase 1/Phase 2 single-group clinical study to investigate the pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety and efficacy of omacetaxine following a fixed-dose administration to patients with CP or AP CML who have failed 2 or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies.
Respiratory failure is the main death cause in neuromuscular diseases. Non-invasive and volitional measures of inspiratory muscles strength include the nasal pressure with an occluded nostril (Psnip) and the maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax). Unfortunately, volitional maneuvers depend of patient effort. The aim of this research is to validate a non-invasive and non-volitional technique to evaluate diaphragm strength at neuromuscular diseases patients. The methodology consists to add to PImax and Psnip measures 5 phrenic nerves magnetical stimulation maneuvers (Pstim).Stimulations will be realize at 3 inspiratory pression levels (0, -1 cm H2O and -5 cm H2O).
