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.
This multicentric, randomized, double-blind and controlled study aims to examine the effect of a fermented dairy product containing the probiotic Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 (Actimel® = tested product) on the incidence of respiratory and gastro-intestinal common infectious diseases (cumulated number of infections during the intervention period: primary criteria), and on the Quality of Life in adults submitted to multi-stressor situation. Volunteers received either 200g/day of tested product (N=121) or control product (N=118) for 7-weeks.
The outcome of patients with resected pancreatic cancer has significantly been improved by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, a large proportion of patients cannot receive adjuvant chemotherapy due to surgical complications. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to be safe and effective and can be applied to all patients. This study should test neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a randomized manner. Patients with resectable cytologically proven adenocarinoma of the pancreatic head are randomized to arm A or B. Patients randomized to arm A receive an 8-week neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine/oxaliplatin followed by surgery. Thereafter, all patients receive adjuvant gemcitabine for six months. Patients randomized to arm B undergo surgery and receive the same adjuvant treatment as in arm A. The primary study-endpoint is the recurrence-free survival. Tumor recurrence are determined by computed tomography in a defined protocol. - Trial with medicinal product
The objective of this study is to evaluate the complete response rate after a short induction treatment with rituximab (375mg/m2)and bendamustine (90mg/m2)in In Elderly (≥ 60 years old) patients with untreated Follicular lymphoma, with an intermediate or high FLIPI score and without high tumor burden. This short induction is followed by a rituximab (375mg/m2)maintenance/ Induction schedule:Rituximab+Bendamustine on Day 1, Bendamustine on Day 2, Rituximab on Day 8, Rituximab on Day 15, rituximab on day 22, Bendamustine on Day 29, Bendamustine on Day 30 Maintenance schedule: 12 infusions of rituximab, each 8 weeks
Study BT-CL-PGG-CRC1031 is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized, multi-center study. Qualified subjects, who have KRAS wild type (WT) colorectal cancer will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to treatment with either Imprime PGG and cetuximab or cetuximab alone. Subjects will be dosed until progression or discontinuation for some other reason. Efficacy will be assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Early Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); computed tomography (CT) scans will be conducted every 6 weeks. Safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), quality of life, and biomarker parameters will also be assessed.
Term and near term newborns can present acute respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Surfactant treatment has been shown effective in reducing mechanical ventilation and oxygen treatment durations in the preterm newborn. Whether surfactant treatment is beneficial for term and near term newborns is unknown. The purpose of this study is to compare surfactant treatment vs. nasal continuous positive airways pressure in the newborn between 35 and 41 weeks of gestation with RDS within the first 24 hours of life. The study's primary endpoint is "survival with no oxygen treatment at 72 hours of life". The secondary endpoints are: death, surfactant treatment, pneumothorax, secondary infections, pulmonary hypertension, inhaled nitric oxide treatment, fluid loading treatment, vasopressive amines treatment, mechanical ventilation duration, nCPAP treatment duration, Oxygen treatment duration, Oxygen treatment at 28 days of life, hospitalization duration and treatment strategy cost.
This is a multicenter prospective study:2 independant cohorts of patients with OMS grade II glioma will be followed during 5 years. - cohort A: patients in first-line treatment (surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) - cohort B: patients with disease simple monitoring. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the impact of tumor and treatments on neurocognitive functions and quality of life, using validate and standard tests.
In first-line metastatic breast cancer, the bevacizumab-taxane to progression or toxicity, is currently the standard treatment. In patients expressing hormone receptors, it was shown that hormone therapy administered in maintenance after induction chemotherapy, could have a benefit regarding the progression-free survival. The investigators make the hypothesis that there would be interest to discontinue treatment with taxane after 4 months, and to begin hormone therapy while continuing maintenance bevacizumab. Exemestane was chosen because it has been shown potentially active in patients who progressed after letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen.
Enrolled women will undergo a bilateral Contrast-Enhanced Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CE-BMRI) as per usual clinical practice within 30 days of breast cancer diagnosis. Up to 8 weeks after the CE-BMRI exam, subjects will undergo a Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammograph (DE-CEDM).
Study Design & Objectives: Multi-centre, non-interventional, open-label, non-comparative, prospective cohort study with a clinical follow-up between 12 and 14 weeks. To determine the performances of the RA-INF-Dx blood test intended to aid in the identification of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are unlikely to show an initial response to infliximab and methotrexate combination therapy evaluated according to EULAR response criteria. Ancillary study objective: To constitute a biocollection of samples associated with all clinical and biological data collected at inclusion and at the evaluation visit.
Shoulder dystocia is a major obstetric emergency defined as a delivery requiring maneuver in addition to downward traction on the fetal head for delivery of the shoulders. Shoulder dystocia is a major obstetrical complication, occurring in approximately 0.2 to 3% of deliveries, principally due to fetal macrosomia. The obstetrical and neonatal complications associated with shoulder dystocia include newborn mortality occurring in 21 to 290 per 1000 deliveries, generalized asphyxia, fractures, neurological damages (brachial plexus injury) and hematoma. The objective of this study was to evaluate the "pushing" maneuver, that is performed gently on the fetal head since the crowning of the head (appearance of the fetal scalp at the introitus between pushes), aiming to facilitate the anterior shoulder to slip off behind the symphysis pubis, reducing thus the risk of shoulder dystocia. This preventive maneuver may reduce the power (energy/time unit) exerted on the perineal tissues and give the shoulders time to enter the pelvic cavity. The "pushing" maneuver will be evaluated in comparison with either an expectative attitude or a suctioning of fetal nose and mouth.
