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 aim of this study is to establish with measures of clinical parameters by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (e.g. crossing of the muscle fascias, length of run, injection depth, volume injected) performance of 2 configurations of the needle-free injector when used for intramuscular injection on bare skin or through clothing.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs) represent a major problem for human health.Some PEEs can accumulate in the fatty tissue of the human body thanks to their lipophilic nature, and are known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). To assess the benefit of cholestyramine treatment on POPs blood levels in obese patients of childbearing age undergoing bariatric surgery, in order to reduce their preoperative POPs load more rapidly. Indeed, the investigators hypothesize that cholestyramine is capable, outside of acute exposure accidents, of promoting the elimination and release of POPs in the human population. Given this hypothesis, a treatment administered prior to bariatric surgery could reduce pre-operative plasma levels of POPs and thus, in fine, minimize the concentrations reached post-operatively, which are dependent on the release induced by lipolysis (massive and rapid weight loss) and pre-operative plasma concentrations.
Several authors suggest that the specific experience felt in clinical encounter, called Praecox Feeling, is directly linked to the psychopathology of Schizophrenia. However, determining factors of this phenomena, whether cognitive or subjective, remains poorly studied. Furthermore, Self-Disorders are alterations of the first-person experience regarded as specific of the disease. The investigators plan to study in an exploratory way the phenomenological and subjective links between Praecox Feeling and Self Disorders determinants, while hypothesizing that the clinician's Praecox Feeling can be positively correlated to SDs, as our main objective.
Investigators propose to use static VR scenarios, adapted to the patient's preferences (sea, mountain, countryside…) to immerse them in an emotionally positive environment. The objective is to reduce the anxiety and pain associated with IR acts in the operating room. Hypothesis tested: The use of the 3D immersion of an oculus rift DK2 virtual reality headset during an interventional radiology intervention would reduce the anxiety felt by patients by 25%, evaluated by the STAI YB scale. The correlation between the STAI YB and the APAIS and HAD scales will also be tested.
Argonaute (AGO) proteins have been described as the target of antibodies in several autoimmune diseases including Sjögren Syndrome (SS). Sensory neuronopathies (SNN) are disorders affecting neurons in the dorsal root ganglia that may depend on an inflammatory process. However, identifying these cases needs the availability of specific biomarkers. The aim of this study is to test the prevalence of anti-AGO antibodies in a population of patients with Sensory neuronopathies (SNN) with and without associated autoimmune disease in comparison with other peripheral neuropathies to determine how anti-AGO antibodies may help the identification of potentially dysimmune Sensory neuronopathies (SNN).
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of T2769 compared to Vismed® Multi in terms of total ocular surface staining (Oxford score) after 35 days of treatment. To evaluate the performance and safety of T2769 versus Vismed® Multi.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease affecting 10-12% of the adult population and characterize with high-risk cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with progression of CKD. Treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) not only improves hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D) but also results in body-weight loss, a reduction in blood pressure, and a decrease of cardiovascular events and progression of renal failure in both diabetes and non-diabetes patients.(Heerspink et al. 2020) Therefore, dapagliflozin is now associated with the inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system to reduce kidney events. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dapagliflozin on the renal function remain unclear. When renal failure occurs, it impairs the removal of several metabolites called uremic retention solutes. If these retention solutes exhibit deleterious interferences with biochemical/physiological functions, they are referred to as uremic toxins as they can contribute to the manifestations of the uremic syndrome and are associated with a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and with progression of CKD. Many of the uremic toxins are not produced by the body itself but rather derived from gut microbiota metabolism such as the well-known trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO),p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), phenyl sulfate (PS), indoxyl sulfate (IS), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).The gut microbiota composition in a uremic context has been the subject of an increasing number of publications and majority of them confirm a decrease of gut microbiota richness and deep modifications.Recently, an animal study suggested that dapagliflozin, subtly improve the composition of the gut microbiota in mice with T2D and another preliminary clinical study didn't observe a modification in the fecal microbiome after dapagliflozin initiation.But in other study, empagliflozin significantly reshaped the gut microbiota after 1 month of treatment in T2D patients and be associated with shifts in plasma metabolites. Similarly, canagliflozin reduces plasma uremic toxins in a CKD mice model.However, it remains unknown whether treatment with dapagliflozin alters the gut microbiota in CKD patients without T2D; furthermore, the relationship between the gut microbiota, uremic toxins production and CKD-related beneficial effects of dapagliflozin remains elusive. Herein, the investigator will investigate the clinical benefits of dapagliflozin and possible associations between its renal function benefits and alterations in plasmatic gut microbiota-derived metabolites and the gut microbiota composition in non-T2D CKD patients. To this end, the investigator will conduct an observational clinical trial in non-T2D CKD patients with the primary aim of investigating dapagliflozin-induced compositional changes of intestinal gut microbiota.
This data collection study aims to describe and compare the outcomes of Mpox on people living with HIV (PLHIV) and HIV-negative individuals who are on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The study also aims to identify risk factors for specific Mpox outcomes.
Background: Severe psychiatric diseases (schizophrenia, bipolarity, depression, anxious syndrome) are often associated with a metabolic syndrome, including Non-Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis, probably misdiagnosed in patients with psychiatric illness. Furthermore, long-term exposition to substances like alcohol or to one or more psychotropic treatments may involve liver detoxification role. Thanks to liver stiffness, based on FibroScan®, and CAP (controlled attenuation parameter), we wanted to study prevalence of severe fibrosis and steatosis in this population. Material & Methods: Prospective study of 385 subjects hospitalised in a psychiatric hospital for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety-depression disorder and receiving psychotropic treatment for at least 2 years, for whom a FibroScan®, a blood test and a record of clinical data were carried out, after information and informed consent. Benefits expected : This study should show an expected excess risk of fibrosis. FibroScan® in this population and determine the risk factors more associated risk factors. Generalized or targeted screening for identified risk factors in this population could help optimize in this population could help optimize the choice and dosage of psychotropic of psychotropic drugs, and above all, help to guide the strategy of hepatic and prevention strategy.
