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.
Use of veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation membrane is a therapeutic option for the management of the most severe patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Given the prolonged duration of this strategy, the question of its impact on the occurrence on diaphragm dysfunction has been raised. The present study endeavors to evaluate and follow up the prevalence, risk factors and prognosis of diaphragm dysfunction in patients with VV-ECMO.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of benralizumab is effective in the treatment of patients symptomatic Bullous Pemphigoid (BP).
This study will determine the prevalence of transthyretin amyloidosis in pathology of the transverse carpal ligament and cardiac involvement using natriuretic peptides, electrocardiography and echocardiography in patients referred for carpal tunnel release surgery of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. This study will describe the relationship between amyloid deposition observed on the transverse carpal ligament and the presence of cardiac involvement.
The purpose of our prospective monocentric, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of intravenous lidocaine on gas exchange and inflammation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due or not to Covid-19 pneumonia. Half of the patients will receive intravenous lidocaine and the other half will receive intravenous NaCl 0,9 % as placebo.
The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Camostat mesylate, compared to placebo in adult patients with ambulatory COVID-19 disease, presenting with risk factors of severe COVID-19. Camostat mesylate is a serine protease TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane Serine Protease 2) inhibitor which has been successfully and safely used to treat pancreatitis-associated pain and post-operative reflux oesophagitis in Japan. More recently, it has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 viral entry and reduce infection of human primary pneumocytes and lung cell lines. Camostat mesylate or placebo will be administered to consenting adult patients with virologically confirmed COVID-19, not requiring initial hospitalization. All patients will receive standard of care along with randomized treatments. Outcomes of included patients will be compared between the 2 groups.
SARS-CoV-2 is a member of a class of viruses: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding viruses that study calls "ABVs". The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARBs limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. Study has a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARBs) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.
Patients affected by pheochromocytoma (PHEO) have brown-adipose tissue (BAT) hyperactivation. They perform, in routine settings, a FDG PET-CT scan. The high metabolic activity of BAT and its ability to consume both glucose and fatty acid suggest that it may have potential as a therapeutic target in the treatment of obesity. However, alternative non-invasive techniques to PET-CT BAT detection still need more validation. Accordingly, our aim will be to measure the temperature and microcirculation of the skin overlaying BAT depots in the region of FDG-uptake detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT before and after a cold test in PHEO patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a single dose of the investigational RSV Maternal vaccine, administered intramuscularly (IM) to pregnant women aged 18-49 years, in good general maternal health, in preventing medically assessed RSV associated Lower Respiratory Tract Illnesses (LRTIs) in infants born to vaccinated mothers. The study will also evaluate the safety of the investigational RSV Maternal vaccine both in vaccinated mothers and in their corresponding infant. Following a recommendation from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee of NCT04605159 (RSV MAT 009), GSK made the decision to stop enrolment and vaccination in the study. Ongoing study participants will continue to be monitored as part of the study.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of benralizumab versus placebo and to compare benralizumab dosing regimens during extension period.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of derazantinib monotherapy or derazantinib in combination with paclitaxel and ramucirumab in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) i.e. with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) genetic aberrations (GA).
