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 primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of BIIB023 as an add-on treatment to background therapy compared with placebo in combination with background therapy in the treatment of participants with active, biopsy-proven Lupus Nephritis. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB023 compared with placebo in this study population. Participants who complete this study through Week 52 will be offered the option to enter an Extension study under a separate protocol 211LE202 (NCT0193089).
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/ II study (two parts) with patients that have locally advanced or metastatic HER2 negative breast cancer. The first part (phase Ib) will investigate the MTD / Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of the combination therapy of BEZ235 twice daily (b.i.d.) and weekly paclitaxel using a Bayesian model. When MTD/ RP2D is established the second part (phase II) will start. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of weekly paclitaxel alone compared to weekly paclitaxel plus BEZ235 bid.
Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have largely proven their efficacy in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Many clinical and experimental studies support also a potential beneficial effect of statin therapy on venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients with hip fracture are at high risk of VTE and cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of a statin (rosuvastatin) in hip fracture surgery on the occurrence of venous and atherothrombotic events and the global mortality at six months. Subjects aged 60 years or over who are scheduled to undergo surgery for fracture of the upper portion of the femur (hip fracture) are eligible to participate to this multicentre, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial. They will receive either rosuvastatin (5 or 20 mg) or placebo for 6 months. The primary efficacy outcome is the incidence of an adjudicated composite of non fatal VTE, acute coronary syndrome, non fatal stroke, other acute ischemic arterial event, or all-cause death. Assuming a endpoint frequency of 20% in the control group, we calculated that 1200 patients will be required for the study to have 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the relative risk with rosuvastatin (with a two-sided alpha level of 5%). The investigators assumed that rosuvastatin could have a positive benefit-risk ratio in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery for hip fracture, by reducing vascular events and global mortality at six months.
Suicidal behaviour (SB) represents a major public health problem, costing life in more that one million people every year worldwide. Even if SB is considered as a consequence of social adversity and depression, these stress factors are often necessary but not sufficient to explain the occurrence of a suicidal act. A preliminary study suggests that an increased perception of psychic pain during a major depressive disorder increases the risk of suicide behaviour. The investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between social exclusion (a classic trigger of psychic pain) and SB and improve our knowledge about the physiopathology of this domain.
In vitro in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon system, modulation of the biliary salts nuclear receptor FXR by either agonists or antagonists respectively increases or decreases the replication of HCV (J Hepatol, 2008, 48: 192-9). One antagonist of FXR is a vegetal sterol, guggulsterone, that is extracted from the Commiphora mukul tree and that has already been given safely to hyper cholesterolemic patients in a clinical trial (JAMA 2003, 290: 765-72). The aim of this trial is to test the effect of the FXR antagonist guggulsterone given orally, three times a day, on the viral load in 15 HCV genotype 1 chronically infected patients.
Despite spectacular advances since the 90s mechanical ventilation used in intensive care units are amply associated with cardio-respiratory complications: nosocomial pneumonia, lung parenchyma lesions induced by ventilation, hemodynamic instability and ultimately to a significant morbidity and mortality. NAVA (Neurally Adjusted Assist Ventilation) ventilatory support, provides synchronous support, proportionate to patient's respiratory efforts. More "physiological", this mode would decline its efficacy on patient hemodynamic response. However, to date, no study has focused on hemodynamic impact of NAVA. This is precisely the purpose of NAVADYN11 study, which aims to assess NAVA efficacy on cardiac index in pediatric intensive care unit.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate and to compare the specific antibody response to a " prime-boost " vaccine strategy combining the seven valence pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PnCj) prime at W0 followed by the administration of the pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine (PPS) boost at W4, to the administration of the pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine (PPS) alone at W4 in patients with common variable immunodeficiency.
The purpose of this study is to identify at least one dose of BMS-986001 which is safe, well tolerated, and efficacious when combined with Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) for treatment-naive Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of pomaglumetad methionil in participants with schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study is to identify the nature of skin lesions that develop on contact with the grip-top bands of medical compression stockings, which are composed mainly of silicone.
