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.
Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation. The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent. The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein. Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits. At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical examinations - check blood pressure and heart rate - review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.

Accidental dural puncture is an uncommon complication of epidural analgesia and can cause postdural puncture headache.
The aim of this study is to assess the success rate, of using a Lamina Curved plate (Osteobiol® Laboratory) in the treatment of persistent OACs over 5mm.
The loss of standing and walking capabilities in a paraplegic person is most often the result of damage to the spinal cord, either traumatic (accidental) or pathological and has both a somatic and a psychological impact on the quality of life, the risk of depression, and the difficulty of socio-professional reintegration in a society that is not adapted to people with disabilities. A motorized mechanical exoskeleton is an external device intended to compensate for a muscular or neurological deficiency enabling paraplegics to stand and walk again. The Atalante exoskeleton, designed by Wandercraft company allows patients to stand upright and walk without the aid of crutches. This early study was the first clinical investigation of the Atalante exoskeleton performed early in the development. It was used to evaluate the device design concept with respect to initial clinical safety and device functionality and guided further device modifications.
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.
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.
The main objective was to analyze the impact of the gender of the attending physician in the differences in the management of ST+ ACS between men and women. This study will be conducted in partnership with the interventional cardiology team of the CHR Metz-Thionville and SAMU (emergency call center) of Moselle, which has a detailed registry of coronary angiographies at the center. A retrospective observational study will be carried out over a "typical" period outside of covid at the CHR Metz Mercy (2021-2022) based on coronary angiographies performed in the context of ST+ ACS at the CHR of patients referred by the center 15. The patient's medical record will be analyzed, going back to his call to the 15 via tape listening. The number of subjects required being calculated at 104 men and 104 women, these patients will be selected from the database of our cardiologist colleagues and we will match one man to one woman by comparing the delays of several items (1st medical contact, time of 1st ECG, medicalization or not, delay of call to the cardiologist, delay of coronary angiography...) according to the sex of the regulator. The consequences of a difference in management will be also evaluated by analyzing in-hospital mortality, mortality at 30 days of management, and functional sequelae at discharge (grades of dyspnea, disturbance of myocardial contractility, LVEF at discharge). This study based on the differences in questioning according to the gender of the regulating physician would allow better identification of the factors that increase the delay in the management of ST+ ACS in women, and to find avenues of correction in order to limit the loss of opportunity for patients. The patients included who are still alive will receive a notification of non-objection by mail.
Reduction nymphoplasty is the treatment of benign hyperplasia of the labia minora. This surgery is indicated in the event of functional, aesthetic or sexual discomfort. There has been a growing demand for this surgery over the past twenty years. It is necessary to remain vigilant because a request for cosmetic surgery can also be part of an obsession with body dysmorphism, former dysmorphophobia. Investigators wish to study the postoperative results concerning sexuality, self-esteem and obsession with body dysmorphia in a cohort of patients followed prospectively and at more than 3 years postoperatively.
In order to reduce the cesarean sections rate, an adjunctive test is recommended in case of non-reassuring fetal heart rate tracing. In France, the reference adjunctive test is fetal scalp blood sampling. However, there is no study about the repetition of fetal blood sampling. Our hypothesis is that the repetition of fetal blood sampling is useful when fetal heart rate stays non-reassuring and may lead to vaginal delivery without impair neonatal prognostic. Therefore, our objective was to compare the patients with three or more fetal blood sampling with the patients with one or two.
