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.
Recurrence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) occurs in around 30% of patients within 3 years of treatment. For some TNBC patients, recurrence occurs on average 2.6 years after treatment, while for others recurrence does not occur early. TNBC patients can therefore be divided into two groups: those with early recurrence and those who respond well to treatment. At present, there are no biomarkers to differentiate these two groups. Some studies suggest that radiation-induced inflammatory cytokines may stimulate the development of new metastases. Gene expression profiling or protein signatures have not been able to define such biomarkers. The aim of this research protocol is to recruit patients to evaluate if the elevation of the cytokines IL-1β, IL-5 and IL-6 in plasma collected during radiotherapy can be used to predict TNBC patients at high risk of recurrence.
In France primary liver cancers (PLC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in men, and the seventh in women. The number of new cases per year is predicted to increase by 26.5% between 2020 and 2040. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) account for 75% to 85% of PLC. It occurs mostly on cirrhotic livers. Diagnosis remains late in almost half of the patients so that a palliatif treatment is frequent. In advanced cases sorafenib has been so far the first line systemic therapy since 2008. In 2020 a phase 3 study has demonstrated a better overall survival in patients treated with bevacizumab associated with atezolizumab as compared to sorafenib (19.2 months vs 13.4 months) and a better quality of life. Noweday immunotherapy is recommended in first line in cases of ECOG 0/1 unresectable HCC without liver insufficiency. However the study included 70% of viral liver diseases while HCC are related to alcohol and steatohepatitis in 50% of cases in France. Moreover patients with high risk of oesophageal variceal bleeding were excluded. Recent real life data published worldwide confirm the bitherapy efficacy and good tolerability. By contrast french data are scarces, with a single serie of 43 patients in which median overall survival was estimated to 12 months. Our main aim is to determine the overall survival of HCC patients treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in Caen from april 2021.
The main aim of the study is to develop a diagnostic proteomic profile of cholangiocarcinoma using bile samples. The primary endpoint will be the rate of concordant positive diagnoses obtained from bile samples based on proteomic profiling compared with histological reference diagnoses (concomitant cytological sampling and/or final histological sampling).
The aim of the study isto evaluate the inter-observer reliability of the assessment of venous thromboembolic risk using the TRiP(cast) score in patients presenting with trauma to a lower limb requiring immobilisation, and of the clinicians' assessment using the physician's implicit probability (gestalt) compared with the use of the TRiP(cast) score.
Intimate violence against individuals, which is particularly marked among women, is one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world. The Women Abuse Screening Tool (WAST) self-questionnaire is a screening tool validated in French. Our preliminary data describing the association between intimate violence against women and the first attack of unexplained venous thromboembolic disease, show a significant frequency of positive responses to the WAST among women attending a biological hematology consultation at the CHU de Nîmes, for reasons of hemostasis disorders (8% out of the first 200 cases). The study authors wish to establish the prevalence of this situation among patients presenting to the CHU de Nîmes for hematological exploration and management. They hypothesize that the prevalence of violence against individuals seen in Hematology consultations is higher among individuals with hemostasis pathologies (hemorrhagic and thrombotic pathologies) than those with cellular pathologies, and higher among women than men.

A major cause of admission to intensive care is acute circulatory failure resulting from organ hypoperfusion due to factors such as hypotension and myocardial dysfunction. The standard treatment, including volume expansion and vasopressor/inotropic agents, often leads to water and sodium overload, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality in the ICU. The combination of this overload and myocardial dysfunction lead to venous congestion, particularly affecting the lungs, kidneys and gastrointestinal system. Effective fluid management is therefore crucial to maintain a balance between adequate tissue perfusion and prevention of fluid overload. Fluid tolerance, defined as a patient's ability to tolerate additional volumes of solutes without adverse effects, is assessed retrospectively by clinical signs (capillary refill time, oedema, hepatojugular reflux, etc.) and ultrasound scores (VExUS score, LUS score, etc.). However, these indicators do not fully reflect the complexity of venous congestion in patients with various conditions. Assessing fluid tolerance remains a challenge in clinical practice. It requires a personalised approach and the use of dynamic tests such as passive leg raising to predict response to vascular filling. Despite their common use, there are no studies evaluating the ability of changes in congestion markers during passive leg raising to predict fluid tolerance. In conclusion, the main hypothesis is that changes in ultrasound congestion parameters (VExUS score, LUS score and others) during passive leg raising could predict a patient's subsequent tolerance to volume expander.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of GTX-102 in participants with Angelman Syndrome (AS)
The study compares the quality of sexual life of breast cancer patients under two types of oncoSexology supportive care : personalized supportive care versus on-request. The aim is to improve the quality of sexual life of these patients.
The study is an open-label clinical trial evaluating whether music therapy combined with conventional management reduces irritability and impulsivity in 15 patients with early-stage Huntington's disease. This pilot study aims to show the interest of alternative non-pharmacological measures such as a digital music therapy tool, adapted to an audience of Huntington's patients, to help manage the psychobehavioral symptoms frequently observed in this affection, and to avoid breakdowns due to caregiver exhaustion.
