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.
Malignant hemopathies, such as solid cancers, increase the risk of venous and arterial thromboembolic events. The incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolic events is particularly high in myeloma, linked to the usual risk factors for venous thromboembolic disease, biological risk factors specific to myeloma, and especially to its treatments. The prevalence of asymptomatic venous thromboembolic events and arterial events are not known to date and remain important data for planning a possible randomized study to determine the most suitable thromboprophylaxis in these patients.
Aortic valve pathology is the third most common cardiovascular disease after coronary artery disease and hypertension, which is responsible for severe morbidity and mortality in elderly patients and requires surgical treatment in its most severe form of progression. The purpose of this study is to find a link between arterial stiffness and degenerative aortic stenosis. If this link is established, arterial stiffness may become a medical therapeutic target in order to delay the evolution of the disease.
In France, drug-induced abortion is allowed up to 9SA, after which the surgical route is preferred. Mifepristone 600mg is used 36-48 hours before the introduction of Misoprostol. This is recommended orally at a dose of 400 μg. There are currently several studies on the subject, including a meta-analysis of the 2011 Cochrane Database, but doses, routes of administration and gestational age differ in all studies. Currently, HAS recommends the vaginal route at the dose of 800μg for stopped pregnancies. It is therefore necessary to compare the different routes of administration of Misoprostol at the same dose to allow to change our French recommendations on the medicinal abortion and perhaps also to recommend the vaginal route in this indication.
The disruption of social cognition associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and more specifically categorization of facial emotions, remains largely under-studied, despite the high frequency of this pathology in the clinical population. The first results differ from the observations made in adults and this confirms the relevance of studying this theme specifically in adolescence. On the cognitive level, there is a disturbance of the detection and the categorization of the facial emotions in the TPL. The characteristics of this disturbance and its possible association with an attack on the connectivity of the brain remain unknown in adolescence. No functional imaging studies are published in adolescent TPL. This pilot bimodal functional imaging study EEG-NIRS aims to collect preliminary and feasibility data to support a response to upcoming PHRC competitions and eventually offer a science thesis opportunity.
Given the increase in the number of PAC implants or long-term catheters, and the ease of access to cardiac ultrasound in the operating theaters, the investigator thought to use ultrasound to PAC or long-term catheters. The investigator considers cardiac echocardiography through its costal pathway to locate the correct positioning of the distal end of the catheter in a manner equivalent to the scopic locating with all the side effects of the irradiation and with Equivalent efficiency
Sexual disorders associated with medical aid for procreation have already been demonstrated in several studies. However, few of them are interested in the problem of patients in charge of donating gametes, and if studied, it is often restricted to donating sperm to a small number of patients. For this reason, it would be interesting to study the impact of the intake and in charge and the treatments of the Medical Aid to the Procreation on this population of patients (including the patients treated in donation of sperm but also Those supported in oocyte donation)
This is a non-randomized, prospective phase II trial evaluating an innovative treatment, focused MRI-guided ultrasound, as thermic destruction in primitive small size breast cancer.
An open-label, non-randomized, two-stage, multicenter study evaluating clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of PQR309 in patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).
In the context of reduce staff for supervision of dependent elderly, automated risk alert systems could have a positive impact on the organization of night care by better targeting monitoring. Residents' sleep could be less affected with use of automatic alert system than by systematic monitoring visits. One study shows an improvement in the humor of residents after the use of such a system. The hypothesis of the study is that the use of a bed-raising detection system linked with the activation of a lighting environment and a caregivers alert system (Etolya-F® gerontechnology device, Anaxi Technology Company) would reduce intervention time in this population, thus limiting the time spent on floor and its physical and psychological consequences.
Endometrial cancer is the most common pelvic gynecological cancer in so-called developed countries, with 320,000 new cases annually, including more than 1,500 in Belgium. It preferentially affects postmenopausal women. Overall survival at 5 years is 76% but is 95% for early forms, which represent more than 70% of diagnoses. The main risk factors are obesity, diabetes and tamoxifen intake for breast cancer, which explains the increasing incidence. Half a million new annual cases are expected in 2035. The main symptom is postmenopausal metrorrhagia.Among these women, the prevalence of the disease is estimated between 10 and 15%. Currently the recommendations are to make an evaluation by endovaginal ultrasound followed by an endometrial biopsy. The histological type is the main predictor of the severity of the disease and acts as guideline for the treatment.It is therefore essential to have precise biopsy results before starting therapeutic management. The most widely used technique is the blind biopsy by aspiration using a pipette because it is inexpensive, easy, without any specific equipment. However, recent studies showed that this technique has a poor sensitivity in the target population of postmenopausal women. Other studies have shown that targeted biopsies under hysteroscopic control could have a much higher sensitivity. The main objective of this study is thus to compare the performance of the targeted biopsy under hysteroscopy to the performance of the biopsy by aspiration with a pipette, for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
