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 12 week, open-label study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of a single dose regimen of pazopanib eye drop for neovascular AMD.
The purpose of this study it to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BMS-820836 in patients with depression.
The primary purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of EMD 1201081, a novel immunomodulatory agent that is an agonist of TLR9, in combination with 5-FU/cisplatin and cetuximab in first line treatment of patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) among the dose levels.
Patients with cirrhosis present an increased susceptibility to bacterial infections. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the most frequent infection and induces severe circulatory dysfunction associated with renal failure in about 30% of cases. Renal failure is a reliable surrogate marker of in-hospital mortality in patients with SBP or with non-SBP infections. Albumin, as an adjuvant to antibiotherapy reduces significantly the rate of renal failure, in-hospital mortality, and overall mortality (Sort P, et al. NEJM 1999). However, little is known regarding the effect of albumin administration in patients with non-SBP infections. Two recent prospective studies demonstrated that non-SBP infections are associated with impairment of the effective circulating volume and precipitate renal failure whatever the presence of ascites. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of albumin, associated with appropriate antibiotic therapy, on occurrence or deterioration of renal failure and survival in septic (SIRS criteria required) cirrhotic patients with non-SBP infections and presenting with a Child-Pugh score > 8.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a complex condition with a high unmet medical need for effective and safe treatment options. Lacteol® is a lactobacillus product used for adjunctive and symptomatic treatment of diarrhea. In this study, Lacteol® 340 mg will be evaluated as a potential therapy for the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
The study has three parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation to investigate the safety and tolerability of ASP9521. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability and initial anti-tumor activity of ASP9521. Part 3 of the study will be a Food Effect study.
Surgical staplers have become standard for ligation, division, resection, anastomosis and closure in many surgical procedures. Staplers are utilized in thoracic surgery routinely for pulmonary parenchymal resection and closure, ligation of vessels and bronchi. In addition, closure of incomplete fissure/s is a frequent need in pulmonary surgery. Although generally safe and efficacious, staplers and staple loads are expensive, and can result in micro air leaks. The LigaSure Vessel Sealing System presents as a potentially faster and less expensive alternative to staplers. The LigaSure Vessel sealing system utilizes a combination of heat generated via bi-polar radiofrequency energy and precise jaw pressure to denature the collagen and elastin in tissue and blood vessels. The newly released Force Triad Generator and the Impact, a 10 mm jaw sealing device (Ligasure system, COVIDIEN Society) may offer improved performance in terms of tissue sticking due to an improved sealing algorithm, and to the jaw configuration of the Impact. The study main objective is to compare the quality of parenchymal pneumostasis after fissure closure achieved with staplers vs that achieved with LigaSure.
The main objective of this study is the Obtention of skin micro-samples collected from healthy volunteers and diabetic patients (type 2 and MODY), intended to be used afterwards to obtain stem cell lines, in the framework of new therapeutic strategies of type 2 diabetes.
To assess the role of uterine artery and maternal serum PlGf and sflt-1 and their combination in screening for pre-eclampsia and small -for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses at 12-14 weeks of gestation
Excessive alcohol consumption is a worldwide major public health problem. Brief interventions have shown to be an efficient treatment modality for problem drinkers, but have never been tested in scheduled surgery. Patients will be recruited in various surgery units in 7 hospital in France. All patients attending a scheduled surgery will be screened during the visit with the anaesthesist by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Patients aged 30-75 with an AUDIT between 7 and 12, corresponding to at risk or harmful use, will be proposed to enter a control study and randomized between a brief intervention by a trained nurse during the post-surgery hospitalisation and no intervention. Twelve months after the surgery, a research technician will interview by telephone patients and evaluate AUDIT and alcohol consumption of the last month.
