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.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) remains underdiagnosed in 2022, as a result of the unawareness of its serious health-related consequences and the lack of diagnosis accessibility. Respiratory polygraphy (PV) is widely used as a screening tool and sometimes a diagnosis test, although polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold standard investigation as it provides complete information about sleep architecture and arousals. Thus, it has been shown that the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Respiratory Disorder Index (RDI) are underestimated by PV vs PSG. Approaches to substitute PSG by simpler but equally efficient diagnosis tests have included devices aiming to record complementary signals and to analyze them with Artificial Intelligence. In this context, ASEEGA algorithm has demonstrated its performance for automatic sleep scoring in healthy individuals and patients with various sleep disorders, based on a single channel EEG analysis. This study aims at comparing the real-life performance and feasibility of added single channel EEG automatic sleep scoring using ASEEGA to PV versus standard PV and PSG in adults referred to a regional sleep reference center for suspected OSA. We hypothesize that this approach (1) is as accurate as PSG and more accurate that PV for AHI analysis, and (2) is less time-consuming than PSG.
Acceptability of a PrEP program among MSM and TG visiting a geolocated community application or a community physical place of sociability and having accepted a targeted screening for HIV, Hepatitis B, C and STIs.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept vs epoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in adults due to IPSS-R very low, low, intermediate-risk MDS in ESA-naïve participants who are non-transfusion dependent (NTD).
ICS (International Continence Society) recommendations published in 2017 recommend performing urodynamic examinations in the sitting or standing position. These recommendations are based on a review of the literature published in 2008, which has several limitations: heterogeneous populations, old and non-harmonized techniques, and very few neurological patients. It seems appropriate to focus on neurological patients and to examine the influence of position on the detection of detrusor overactivity in these patients. The point here is to reexamine the ICS recommendations, which are not designed for neurological patients. Indeed, many patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson's disease are unable to sit or stand for the duration of the urodynamic examination. The investigators would like to assess whether exploring sphincter disorders in the supine position is still interpretable. This would enable us to define ICS good practice recommendations for a neurological population.
The goal of this observational study is to observe if ultra-sensitive troponins (us) measurement between 3 and 6 months after the acute event will be sensitive enough to dispense with all other examinations, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in patients suffering from myocarditis. The investigators will collect patient events by telephone, once a year for 4 years.
The main purpose of this study in participants with PIK3CA-mutated lymphatic malformations (LyM) is to assess the change in radiological response and symptom severity upon treatment with alpelisib as compared to placebo.
This is an observational, prospective, multicentric, cohort study conducted in France to evaluate the QoL in COPD patients treated with TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 in a routine clinical practice setting. Patients enrolled in this study will be patients diagnosed with a COPD with a ratio of post-bronchodilator (salbutamol 400 μg) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) of less than 0.7 to whom TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 has been initiated by an hospital or local pulmonologists in accordance with clinical practice and marketing authorization.
Central vascular access devices are required for home parenteral nutrition (HPN). There is few data available concerning their complications in adult HPN patients, and the potential link between venous thromboembolism and catheter infection is not well established. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the incidence rate of catheter related complications among 3 types of central vascular access: peripherally inserted central catheters; tunneled catheters and port-a-cath devices, in adults patients on HPN; describe the risk factors, and identify a potential link between venous thromboembolism and infection. More than 300 patients will be consecutively enrolled and followed up from the time of catheter insertion until its removal. Venous complication (identify by an ultrasound examination if deep vein thrombosis is suspected), infection related to catheter and mechanical complications will be analyzed. The incidence of complications will be expressed per 1000 catheters-day and or as a percentage of total catheter.
Cystic fibrosis is the most common serious genetic disease in Europe. It is a multi-disciplinary disease, causing multiple organ damage. It is a painful disease and a source of anxiety and depression. The aim of this study is to assess the link between pain experienced during care and anxiety in children aged over 8 with cystic fibrosis.
This study is a Phase III, Randomized, Controlled, Global Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Tinengotinib versus Physician's Choice in Subjects with Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR)-altered, Chemotherapy- and FGFR Inhibitor-Refractory/Relapsed Cholangiocarcinoma
