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.
Prospective, randomized, cross-over, multicenter, trial comparing the efficacy and tolerability of nasal irrigation with Respimer® mineral salts solution versus saline solution both administered with Respimer® Netiflow® medical device among patients aged ≥ 11 years and older with cystic fibrosis and suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two parsaclisib treatment regimens in participants diagnosed with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who are naive to or were previously treated with a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how long subjects with esophageal cancer live overall or live without disease progression after receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab or nivolumab combined with fluorouracil plus cisplatin versus fluorouracil plus cisplatin
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the adjuvant treatment of adult participants who have undergone nephrectomy and have intermediate-high risk, high risk, or M1 no evidence of disease (M1 NED) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with clear cell component. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab is superior to placebo with respect to Disease-free Survival (DFS) as assessed by the Investigator in male and female participants with intermediate-high risk, high risk and M1 NED RCC.
Understanding the emergence of linezolid-resistance in Staphylococci has been allowed in the past years through the discovery of the clonal dissemination of a chromosomal cassette carrying a modified crf gene. New mutations have even been described. Though, clinical evidences are still lacking, especially concerning the factors associated to this emergence. It could seriously become quite problematic to eliminate one of the last therapeutic weapon at our disposal for the treatment of severe or complicated infections caused by resistant strains of Staphylococci and Enterococci. We aim to describe the mechanisms that permitted to this resistance to become clinically significant, concerning meticillin-resistant Staphyloccocus epidermidis strains causing blood stream infections in ICU patients, and show the clinical risk factors associated with it through a case-control study on patients hospitalized in two ICUs of our hospital between 2011 and 2016.
The aim of the phase II Nivothym study is to collect data on activity and toxicity of nivolumab therapy in patients with thymic carcinoma or type B3 thymoma that previously received a first platinum-based chemotherapy.
Speech is an important indicator of motor function and movement coordination and can be extremely sensitive to involvement in the course of neurologic diseases. The aim of this project is to discover for the first time using simple speech recording and high end pattern analysis preclinical stages of disabling central nervous system disorders including Parkinson's disease and other alpha-synucleinopathies in "at high risk" patients with REM sleep behavior disorder and thus provide one essential prerequisite for trials on REM sleep behavior disorder with preventive therapy.
Currently, chemotherapies are empirically administered to patients treated for colorectal cancer (CRC). Selection is based on the efficacy of a protocol previously determined on the largest number (consensus treatment), the decision-making process being weighted by patient's intrinsic criteria. However, each patient is unique, due to the inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity inherent in any cancer, partly explaining the unsatisfactory response rates observed for available chemotherapies. Functional sensitivity tests offer the possibility to adapt the treatment to each patient: they are based on an ex vivo study of the responses of the tumor cells (survival / death) to the different molecules / therapeutic combinations (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) likely to be administered to the patient. This response, translated into a tumor-specific sensitivity profile, can be used by the clinicians to determine the most appropriate therapeutic protocol. By increasing the therapeutic efficacy from the first line and reducing the deleterious side effects associated with multiple drug cycles, the sensitivity test transforms the consensus approach into personalized medicine, providing patients with improved progression free survival (PFS) associated with an improvement in the quality of life. Oncomedics has developed Oncogramme®, a CE-labeled in vitro diagnostic medical device that has already demonstrated the ability to predict chemosensitivity in a recent pilot study of metastatic CRC (prediction with 84% chance of success of tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy, vs. 50% maximum for chemotherapy administered according to the consensus method). The hypothesis that patients treated with a metastatic CRC for which systemic chemotherapy is adapted using Oncogramme® have better response rates, PFS and quality of life than patients treated according to usual practice, with optimization of the costs of care. To our knowledge, this is the only fully standardized test available, where each step and reagents of the procedure are mastered. The reliability of the procedure makes it possible to render a personalized result for each patient in 97% of the cases. In addition, the analysis is specifically centered on tumor cells using a method using fully defined, developed and validated media and reagents for each cancer, including CRC. The method of revealing the effect of the therapies identifies the proportion of dead cells in each condition, whatever their physiological state (proliferation / quiescence), by determining the percentage of living and killed cells, thus ensuring high sensitivity
This first time in human study is intended for men and women between 18 and 75 years of age who have advanced liver cancer which has grown or returned after being treated or another AFP expressing tumor. Those who did not tolerate or refused other therapies may also participate. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of genetically changed T cells that target alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and find out what effects, if any, they have in subjects with liver cancer or other AFP expressing tumor types. This study is for subjects who have a blood test positive for appropriate HLA-A*02 P Group and have adequate AFP protein in blood or tumor, and whose noncancerous liver tissue has very little AFP protein (Liver only). The study will take the subject's T cells, which are a natural type of immune cell in the blood, and send them to a laboratory to be modified. The changed T cells used in this study will be the subject's own T cells that have been genetically changed with the aim of attacking and destroying cancer cells. The manufacturing of T cells takes about 1 month to complete. The T cells will be given back to the subject through an intravenous infusion after 3 days of chemotherapy. The study will evaluate three different cell dose levels in order to find out the target cell dose. Once the target cell dose is determined, additional subjects will be enrolled to further test the safety and effects at this cell dose. Subjects will be hospitalized for at least 1 week after receiving their T cells back and then seen frequently by the Study Physician for the next 6 months. After that, subjects will be seen every three months. If subjects have disease progression or withdraw from the study, they will then be entered into a long-term follow up for safety monitoring. In long-term follow up, subjects will be seen every 6 months by their Study Physician for the first 5 years after the T cell infusion and annually for the next 10 years.
The current study seeks to examine the prevalence of amyloid pathology, among patients referred to the Toulouse Geriatric Frailty Clinic presenting objective memory impairment. We also aim to fully characterize the clinical progression of frail cognitively impaired patients presenting AD (Alzheimer Disease) pathology vs those who also present a cognitive impairment but do not have AD pathology.
