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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity and efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in subjects with resected advanced melanoma.
This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of ARGX-117 in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients at Risk for Delayed Graft Function
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and efficacy of ivosidenib taken with azacitidine to treat adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are presenting a gene mutation called IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase1 mutation-positive [IDH1m]) and cannot receive treatment with intensive chemotherapy (IC).
This project proposes to integrate a psychosocial approach into the therapeutic patient education program (TPE) at "La Vie la Santé", an innovative health promotion platform at Poitiers University Hospital. A randomized study will be set up within the active file of patients referred by the specialized obesity center of Poitou-Charentes and integrated into this patient education program (TPE) program. Patients randomized to the TPE-STEREOBES experimental cohort arm will participate for 12 months in obesity-specific adapted physical activity workshops, on the one hand, and in workshops based on "social well-being" on the other, designed as part of this study. They will be assessed when they enter the program (T0), then at 3 months (T3), 6 months (T6), 12 months (T12) and finally 6 months later (T18). Assessments at T0, T12 and T18 will be compared with those of patients in the control group, made up of patients followed up at the specialized obesity center who were not included in the TPE-STEREOBES program.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intravenous ascending doses of ANT3310, a novel, specific, competitive inhibitor of serine β-lactamases, alone and in combination with meropenem in healthy subjects.
Izokibep is a small protein molecule that acts as a selective, potent inhibitor of interleukin 17A, to which it binds with high affinity. This study investigates izokibep in subjects with active Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), including tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor (TNFi) naïve subjects, and those who had an inadequate response or intolerance to TNFi, or for whom TNFi is contraindicated.
Data on the use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of covid-19 are scarce: the results of randomized studies involving mainly immunocompetent patients are disappointing, while case series or retrospective data on more selected patients , in particular immunocompromised patients suggest a benefit in these patients whose clinical manifestation seems essentially related to the uncontrolled infection and not the cytokine storm.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, when administered in combination with atezolizumab and bevacizumab as first-line treatment, in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Heart transplantation is the gold standard treatment for advanced heart failure, with a survival rate >60% at 10 years. Heart transplantation activity has tended to decline significantly in France since 2017, with -5% of transplants per year according to the Agence de la Biomédecine report (La Plaine-Saint-Denis, France, https://rams.agence-biomedecine.fr). Graft selection criteria have been extended over the past two decades, in particular the average donor age, which currently exceeds 50 in France. These donors with extended criteria are more exposed to the risk of acquired coronary lesions. The current indications for donor coronary angiography are age >55 or >45 with at least two cardiovascular risk factors, but it is performed in only a third of these cases. Coronary angiography would increase the chances of graft acceptance by 9%. At the same time, some heart transplants are rejected for lack of a complete functional evaluation, or because they present moderate left ventricular dysfunction. In catecholaminergic stress cardiomyopathy, left ventricular dysfunction is reversible, but its recovery kinetics are difficult to predict. Ex vivo resuscitation of these grafts on a perfusion machine could enable functional recovery and acceptance of these grafts for transplantation. This approach could also be applied to other cardiac grafts harvested from donors with extended criteria, such as prolonged cardiac arrest. Graft preservation on ex vivo perfusion machines has enjoyed considerable growth over the past decade. The Organ Care System (OCS, TransMedics, Andover, USA) is currently the only transportable perfusion machine available and marketed for clinical use, with experience of over 1,000 transplants worldwide. OCS technology is based on isolated ex vivo perfusion of the heart with normothermic blood in Langendorff mode (retrograde aortic perfusion). This transportable platform enables metabolic evaluation of the graft based on the concentration of circulating lactate in the perfusate, a criterion of viability and "transplantability". The aims of this alternative method to static hypothermic preservation of heart grafts are threefold: 1) to extend the preservation time of the heart graft; 2) to assess graft viability prior to transplantation; 3) to resuscitate a heart graft harvested after controlled circulatory arrest (Maastricht 3). Since February 2019, 31 heart grafts have been placed on OCS in France thanks to the implementation of an ex vivo perfusion program at the Lille and Rennes teaching hospitals, and the Marie Lannelongue Hospital. Our preliminary results have recently been accepted for publication. In this research project, we propose to analyze in real time the quality of coronary perfusion using vasculoscopy on isolated human hearts placed on OCS, and to put this anatomical and functional assessment into perspective with the results of heart transplantation. Indeed, vasculoscopy is an innovative non-invasive imaging approach that has never before been applied in the cardiovascular field. We aim to validate this technology in the assessment of myocardial perfusion quality of the machine-perfused graft awaiting transplantation, by correlating the signal obtained with perfusion parameters on OCS (coronary flow, mean aortic pressure, arterial and venous lactate) as well as with transplant outcomes (primary graft failure rate, recipient survival rate at one month post-transplant). Myocardial perfusion parameters have never been correlated with heart transplantation outcomes to date.
Glaucoma is a blinding optic neuropathy affecting 80 million people worldwide, with primary open-angle glaucoma being the most common etiology. Today, the therapeutic arsenal includes drug-based hypotonizing treatments, lasers and surgery. In France, the most common surgical techniques are trabeculectomy and deep non-perforating sclerectomy (SPNP). The principle behind these filtering techniques is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by creating an escape route for aqueous humor from the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye into the subconjunctival space, creating a filtration bubble (FB). A new minimally invasive treatment option has been developed to limit intra- and post-operative complications. This new technique is based on an ab interno approach, with implantation through the anterior chamber of a 6mm-long, 45µm-lumen collagen tube called XEN®. As a result, there is no dissection of the conjunctivotenone planes, as is the case in traditional surgery. Since June 2017, surgeons have been able to use the XEN® technique in the ophthalmology department at GHPSJ. Today, no study has yet assessed endothelial cell loss more than 2 years after this surgery. Indeed, the presence of an anterior chamber device of any type can be associated with endothelial cell loss, which increases over time well after the surgical procedure, and may require removal of the device several years after surgery. Recent studies have investigated peripheral endothelial cell loss with other drainage systems. They show a significant decrease in peripheral endothelial cell density in relation to the implant placed in the anterior chamber. The aim of this study is to evaluate central and peripheral endothelial cell density in the long term after XEN® placement. At the visit more than 3 years after XEN® implant placement, IOP and pachymetry measurements were taken, along with a measurement of peripheral and central endothelial cell density. Corneal peripheral endothelial cell density is measured on the different quadrants of the treated eye, as well as on the controlateral eye. Measurements will be made for each eye for patients undergoing surgery on both eyes.
