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 study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Upadacitinib in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) who have not responded at the end of the induction period in Study M14-234 Substudy 1, who have had loss of response during the maintenance period of Study M14-234 Substudy 3, or who have successfully completed Study M14-234 Substudy 3.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with avelumab in combination with RT-cetuximab is superior to standard of care (SOC) cisplatin-RT and/or to SOC RT-cetuximab alone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in front-line patients with locally advanced SCCHN.
The purpose of this neoadjuvant study is to compare nivolumab plus chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone in terms of safety and effectiveness, and to describe nivolumab plus ipilimumab's safety and effectiveness in treating resectable NSCLC. This study has multiple primary endpoints.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility (acceptability) of a consultation dedicated to informing women about their risk of breast cancer and the screening methods recommended for them according to the recommendations in force during a routine consultation at a general practitioner, a gynecologist or a radiologist.
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive and rare cancer of myeloid cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). Successful treatment of AML is dependent on what subtype of AML the participant has, and the age of the participant when diagnosed. Venetoclax is an experimental drug that kills cancer cells by blocking a protein (part of a cell) that allows cancer cells to stay alive. This study is designed to see if adding venetoclax to azacitidine works better than azacitidine on its own. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind (treatment is unknown to participants and doctors), placebo controlled study in patients with AML who are >= 18 or more years old and have not been treated before. Participants who take part in this study should not be suitable for standard induction therapy (usual starting treatment). AbbVie is funding this study which will take place at approximately 180 hospitals globally and enroll approximately 400 participants. In this study, 2/3 of participants will receive venetoclax every day with azacitidine and the remaining 1/3 will receive placebo (dummy) tablets with azacitidine. Participants will continue to have study visits and receive treatment for as long as they are having a clinical benefit. The effect of the treatment on AML will be checked by taking blood, bone marrow, scans, measuring side effects and by completing health questionnaires. Blood and bone marrow tests will be completed to see why some people respond better than others. Additional blood tests will be completed for genetic factors and to see how long the drug remains in the body.
Although it is usually described as an immunosuppressive modality and not thought of as immunotherapy, there are new preclinical evidences suggesting that high-dose ionizing irradiation (IR) results in direct tumour cell death and augments tumour-specific immunity, which enhances tumour control both locally and distantly. Importantly, IR effects exceed the classical cytocidal properties by also causing phenotypic changes in the fraction of surviving cells, markedly enhancing their susceptibility to T cell-mediated elimination. However, not all IR-induced modifications of the tumour and its microenvironment favor immune rejection. The tumour microenvironment is populated by various types of inhibitory immune cells including Tregs, alternatively activated macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppression cells (MDSCs), which suppress T cell activation and promote tumour outgrowth. Chiang et al. showed the accumulation of pro-tumourigenic M2 macrophages in areas of hypoxia present in irradiated tumours. IR then may also induced responses that are inadequate to maintain antitumour immunity. Close interaction between IR, T cells, and the PD-L1/PD-1 axis exsit and provide a basis for the rational design of combination therapy with immune modulators and radiotherapy. Deng et al. demonstrate that PD-L1 was upregulated in the tumour microenvironment after IR. Moreover, administration of anti-PD-L1 enhanced the efficacy of IR through a cytotoxic T cell-dependent mechanism. Concomitant with IR-mediated tumour regression, IR and anti-PD-L1 synergistically reduced the local accumulation of tumour-infiltrating MDSCs, which suppress T cells and alter the tumour immune microenvironment. Finally, activation of cytotoxic T cells with combination therapy mediated the reduction of MDSCs in tumours through the cytotoxic actions of TNF. Sagiv-Barfi et al, also demonstrated in 5 patients receiving atezolizumab and radiation therapy, at least stabilization of systemic progression in all patients and a RECIST partial response at systemic sites in 1 patient. Transient, grade 1-2 inflammatory adverse events (fevers, flu-like symptoms) occurred with no serious immune-related toxicities. Abscopal out-field effects of irradiation has also been described in addition to a reduction in circulating MDSCs in a melanoma patient treated with the anti CTLA-4 ipilimumab and radiotherapy. Lastly, recent evidence demonstrates that loco-regional curative treatment with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a good alternative as compared with conventional 3D RT for patients with solid tumour, with durable remissions and a low toxicity profile. Many non-randomised studies have shown that SBRT for oligometastases is safe and effective, with local control rates of about 80%. Importantly, these studies also suggest that the natural history of the disease is changing, with 2-5 year progression-free survival of about 20%. For colorectal, non-small cell, and renal cell cancers, 1-year metastasis control rates ranged from 67 to 91%. Moreover, abscopal responses in the setting of immune checkpoints inhibitors and radiotherapy combinations have been made in the setting of metastatic disease event in patients with extensive tumor burden. The goal of SABR is to deliver appropriate metastasis directed radiotherapy while minimizing exposure of surrounding normal tissues. Interestingly, the dose and fractionation employed modulate RT ability to synergize with immunotherapy. Vanpouille-Box et al, showed that immune response genes were differentially expressed in irradiated tumours by 8Gyx3 but not 20Gyx1. This highlight the interest of hypofractionated SABR acting as a "in situ tumour vaccine". As hypofractionated SABR may, in addition to its good local control, increase the effectiveness of anti PD-L1, investigators aimed to investigate the efficacy and the tolerability of the combination of anti-PD-L1 antibody with SABR.
This is a dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ABBV-927, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) for ABBV-927 when administered as monotherapy or as combination therapy with ABBV-181 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of nivolumab followed by ipilimumab, in subjects with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
No structured organization for ovarian first line management emerges in France. Management across France seems to depend on regional contexts. Regions display no specific organization or delineate regional network for the ovarian cancer management or report centralized management revolving around referent centers. These different templates present a major problem in identifying differences, costs and benefit. To deal with this issue the Investigators propose a health economic evaluation based on cost-effectiveness analyses, completed with a budget impact analysis. This study will investigate the cost-effective management of patients with initial ovarian cancer using databases representative of different parts of French territories.
