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 was a non-interventional, retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted on the National Health Data System (Système National des Données de Santé, SNDS). The study did not modify the doctor-patient relationship, nor the management or follow-up of patients. Patients with dispensation of canakinumab for gouty arthritis were selected over the period from 08 April 2018 to 07 April 2020; index date was defined as date of the first dispensation of canakinumab in community pharmacy during study period. Patients were described at index date. Medical history and comorbidities, and previous treatments for gouty arthritis were assessed during 3 years prior to index date. Co-treatments of interest for which standard treatments for gouty arthritis were contraindicated or required precautions for use were assessed during 6 months prior to index date.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, adaptive phase III trial to investigate efficacy and safety of vilobelimab in the treatment of ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum
The objective of this registry is to find and validate a correlation between morphological indicators such as volume sac evolution, graft migration or length between anatomical landmarks with aneurysm rupture risk or complications such as endoleaks requiring re-intervention… Secondary objectives are the validation of the reproducibility and accuracy of a dedicated fully automated software enabling Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) segmentation to measure AAA diameter, volume evolution and growth over time, proximal and distal sealing zones analyze as well as device migration and integrity after EVAR on computed tomography angiography (CTA). This validation is in comparison with semi-automated analyse controlled by physician.
Children and adolescents with inherited cardiac arrhythmia su ch Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) have lower physical and quality of life than their healthy peers. A multi-component cardiac rehabilitation, including an exercise training program and education program, might counteract those effects. The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the security, feasibility, and benefits of a cardiac rehabilitation program in children with LQTS aged between 6 to 18 years old. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is center-based cardiac rehabilitation safe and feasible for children with LQTS? - Does a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program improve physical fitness and quality of life?
Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are associated with cognitive schemas that lead to care attrition and mistrust towards care. Considering this, establishing a strong, trustful relationship between the patient and the healthcare team is important to promote patient engagement within SUD management. However, it requires an important availability of the healthcare team, allowing for frequent interactions at all times, including at night and during days off. We postulated that a mobile application called MAURISSE, which aims to help the caregivers maintaining a link with the patient in order to facilitate trust in the relationship, could foster patient engagement as well as the therapeutic alliance. This research aims to compare the effect of the application MAURISSE on the therapeutic alliance in a population of patients treated for a disorder related to substance use at the Toulouse University Hospital.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the predictive value of the neuroendocrine tests TRH-∆∆TSH (thyreoliberin - thyreostimulin) and DST (dexamethasone suppression test) in the subsequent response to rTMS-TBS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation-theta burst stimulation) treatment, defined as at least a 50% decrease in depression score after 20 sessions of rTMS-TBS.
This is an international, multisite, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study, to confirm safety and efficacy of samuraciclib in combination with elacestrant in adult participants with metastatic or locally advanced Hormone Receptor (HR) positive and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER)2-negative breast cancer.
Artificial intelligence algorithms for parathyroid adenoma detection in parathyroid scans The aim of the study is to develop programs for the automatic subtraction of planar and tomographic parathyroid images and for the localization of parathyroid adenomas using artificial intelligence tools. Inclusion criteria Patients having undergone a double isotope parathyroid diagnostic examination using the standard Besançon University Hospital protocol (double injection of 123I and 99mTc, pinhole image, low energy high resolution (LEHR) and (single-photon emission tomography / Computed tomography) SPECT/CT +/- (positron emission tomography (PET) Choline). Secondary endpoints Concordance between diagnoses made by nuclear physicians using both methods (current method and new treatment method).
Fear of the dentist is a very common phenomenon which delays consultations and brings negative consequences on oral and general health. Virtual reality (VR) reduces children's pain and anxiety during dental care or oral surgery. The aim of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to show the effectiveness of virtual reality to reduce anxiety in a sample of adults during tooth avulsions under local anesthesia. There is a group with virtual reality and a control group without virtual reality. Patients complet the State Trait Anxiety Inventory - State - (STAI-YA) questionnaire and the visual analog anxiety scale (VAS) just before and just after the surgery by transcribing the anxiety they feel during it. The main judgement criterion is the evolution of the STAI-YA score before vs during the surgery. Secondary criteria are the relevance of the chosen metric by comparing it to the VAS, defining the factors influencing the evolution of the anxiety score, studying the side effects of VR and the wish to repeat the experience.
Sleep of critically ill patients is highly disturbed with a high sleep fragmentation; patients spend most of their sleep in very short sleep episodes, lasting less than 10 minutes. Causes of theses sleep alterations are complex including environmental noise (alarms, beepers, conversations…), continuous light, nurse care and repetitive measures of vital parameters. Numerous studies have reported a relationship between severe sleep alterations and a prolonged weaning period and mortality. Improving sleep quality in critically ill patients is a major challenge to promote ICU patient's recovery. A very promising treatment is the application of a nocturnal " quiet-time " during which non urgent care, comfort care, systematic measures of vital parameters are delayed and clustered in order to limit room entries. However, " quiet time " procedures have failed to improve sleep quality to date. A miniaturized medical device recording one EEG channel and embedding an automated sleep scoring algorithm running in real-time was devised. This device (positioned on forehead, and continuously recording noise and light levels) indicates if the patient is awake or asleep using a tablet positioned at doorstep of the room, so that nurses know if patient is sleeping, without entering the room. Hypothesis proposes that applying sleep protection procedures (clustering cares, limiting room entries, reducing lights and noise, delaying non urgent care…) when patients are sleeping (= EEG-guided strategies) will increase patients sleep quality. This study will assess the effect of such device on sleep quality in ICU patients. This is a "before / after" design. The first group ("control group"), will be recorded but the sleep scoring will not be displayed by the tablet and patient will be expose to standard care. Then, procedure will be established collegially with nurses, nurses assistants and doctors. Then, the second group ("treated group") will be recorded with the device displaying the status of the patient (asleep/awake) and all caregivers will be asked to follow the established rules ("EEG-guided sleep protection rules")
