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 study is a multicentre, open label, phase I, two arms study to compare pharmacokinetic of firibastat after a single oral dose of firibastat 500 mg in fourteen healthy male volunteers and in fourteen End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients not yet in dialysis.
Keratoplasty is one of the most common grafts and penetrating keratoplasty is still the technique most used in the world, ahead of lamellar grafts, and is estimated to represent 70% of the total. Graft rejection is still the main cause of failure of this type of surgery, to the extent that nearly a third of all patients will in some way be affected by rejection in due course. Numerous risk factors for rejection have been identified, whether related to the donor, the recipient, or the surgical procedure itself. In addition, many of the studies performed have used univariate analysis only, and yet there is a strong case for multivariate analysis, given the wide range of factors that need to be examined. This study seeks to analyze the rejection rates and the survival of penetrating keratoplasty for a group of patients from Montpellier Hospital (France).
While the coronavirus pandemic has spread rapidly around the world, it has generated a considerable degree of fear, concern and anxiety among the population in general and among certain groups in particular, such as older persons. Initial findings from studies in China indicated the presence of moderate to severe psychological impact in a significant proportion of individuals and an increased prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms. It should also be noted that other types of symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, appeared to persist over time and to a greater extent. Osteoarthritis can develop in any joint, but most often affects the knees, hands and hips. People with osteoarthritis are often older and sometimes more frail than the general population. The main recommendations for non-drug treatment of osteoarthritis include education, physical activity and structured exercise programmes with or without weight reduction. Due to the confinement associated with COVID-19, many patients have had to stop exercise/physical activity and postpone prosthetic surgery. Apart from the context of delay in surgery, there is little data available on the impact of the pandemic on people with arthritis. Several questions are therefore still pending concerning the impact of the pandemic on these patients. The investigators hypothesise that the following therapeutic modalities have been disrupted during this period: access to care, scheduling of prosthetic surgery, consumption of painkillers or NSAIDs, recourse to physical activities, recourse to physiotherapy sessions, weight changes, level of pain.... Our objective is to evaluate the physical, social, psychological and behavioural consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in a cohort of osteoarthritis patients.
The aim of the study is to evaluate if a check-list including lung ultrasonography can help to identify the etiology of the acute respiratory failure of patients managed at the emergency room. Adult patients admitted to the emergency room for acute respiratory failure will be offered the study. The emergency physician will perform a systematic examination using a checklist, including pulmonary embolism prediction scores, structured clinical examination and lung ultrasound, in order to establish a diagnostic hypothesis. A diagnostic hypothesis will be made after completion of the checklist. The emergency physician can perform additional examinations and treatment after completion of the checklist. The final diagnosis will be checked by an adjudication committee which will have all the documents established during the emergency room consultation and any hospitalization following this hospitalization. The main outcome will be the concordance rate between the diagnosis after the check-list and the final diagnosis.
Socket is key to provide comfort and function to lower limb amputees. A new socket, the sub-ischial socket, will be compared to "traditional" ischial containment sockets, based on comfort self-evaluation, and locomotor capacities.
Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is very frequent and increase with age. Antimuscarinics allows improvement for OAB symptoms, quality of life and urodynamic parameters. However, antimuscarinics adherence is poor and anticholinergic drugs are often withdrawn few months after their introduction. This low adherence to antimuscarinics can be explained by side effects as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation or cognitive impairment which are due to systemic anticholinergic effects since specificity and receptor affinity of bladder antimuscarinics are poor with a large distribution of acetylcholine receptors in all the body. Unfortunately, there is no questionnaires which evaluate side effects or constraints. The objective of the study is to develop and validate a new questionnaire to assess side effects of antimuscarinic treatment in a patient with OAB. The study was conducted in a Neuro-urology Department of a University Hospital. To allow a full psychometric validation of the questionnaire, the study protocol included 3 steps: qualitative interviews, feasibility study and validation study. The inclusion criteria were to be aged > 18 years and to have OAB symptoms according to the ICS definition and secondary to a neurogenic dysfunction. First step of the study consisted in a review literature on Pubmed to explore the different side effects secondary to antimuscarinic treatment and do determine which tools were available. In addition, we conducted semi-structured interviews on 30 patients suffering from OAB. For this feasibility study, 30 patients were included. They had to rate each item to evaluate comprehension, acceptation and pertinence with a three-points Likert scale from response "0: not at all or quite" to "2: perfectly". Validation study: 100 patients Content validity was assessed by the panel of experts. Internal consistency reliability was calculated using the α coefficient of Cronbach. Each response has been transformed in a numeric value to perform this test. Alpha coefficient of Cronbach was considered as very good if > 0.7. Test-retest reliability was tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) which was significant over 0.7. Objective was to validate this questionnaire with good or very good psychometric properties. Primary outcome was Alpha coefficient of Cronbach and ICC ≥ 0,7.
This Phase Ib, open-label, multicenter study evaluates the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of venetoclax in combination with Pola + R-CHP in previously untreated participants with BCL-2 IHC-positive DLBCL. Approximately 50 participants will be enrolled in this study in five consecutive cohorts each consisting of approximately 10 participants.
Catheter-related infections are frequent. Treatment without catheter removal is difficult because of the presence of biofilm. The association of gentamicin and EDTA is active in vitro and in vivo against biofilms formed by Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Evaluation of the clinical safety and effectiveness of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens
The damage caused by patient falls is a major public health problem, due to the large and growing number of people concerned, the potentially serious consequences but also the financial cost generated by their care. These consequences can be physical as well as psychological. Fractures and pain are the first consequences that come to mind, but many others should be mentioned: post-fall syndrome, loss of autonomy or even entering an institution, fear of falling, loss of confidence in itself.
