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 assess whether immunosuppressive therapies used by patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an impact on the viral load and the humoral and cellular responses during viral infection with SarSCoV2, compared to members of their family cluster infected with the same viral strain.
This study will evaluate the effect of each dose of MK-3655 versus placebo on the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least 1 dose of MK-3655 is superior to placebo with respect to the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks.
There are more than one million (> 40,000 cases per year in France) of osteoarticular infections (OAI) yearly in the world. The number of these infections is constantly increasing due to an increase in life expectancy associated with an increase in prosthesis fitting, as well as an increase in comorbid factors. These are severe pathologies associated with mortality (5%) and significant morbidity (40%), responsible for functional sequelae with an individual cost (prolonged hospitalization, altered quality of life, disability) and societal (sick leave, partial disability). or total, temporary or permanent) extremely high. In addition, reinfection rates within two years of treatment are high. The BJIs are a group of clinical entities that have in common the invasion and progressive destruction of bone and cartilage tissue by bacterial-like microorganisms. Staphylococcus spp is the main pathogen (>50%) in BJI and is associated with particularly difficult to treat infections, with a high rate of chronicity and relapses, especially in case of implanted material. The difficulty in managing these infections is partly linked, on the one hand, to the fact that the pathogens are in "persistent" metabolic forms and in intracellular reservoirs which make them insensitive to conventional antibiotics and, on the other hand, the absence of reliable markers of the infection and above all of its clinical resolution, which complicates clinical trials. ESPRI-IOAC is a consortium of 4 partners (private-public) from Lyon area and which aims at: - studying the translational value of BJI preclinical models - identifying biomarkers of infection in preclinical models and at assessing them in a prospective study. The current study is part of the global ESPRI-IOAC consortium, and represent the clinical application. It is a prospective study of patients treated for BJI in the infectious disease department of the Hospices Civils de Lyon, La Croix-Rousse, for osteo-articular infections due to Staphylococcus aureus, or for simple mechanical revision or for cruciate ligament surgery, the objective of which is to highlight biomarkers of interest in the diagnosis of chronic BJI and, or predictive of the therapeutic response. The translational value of the experimental models used in the BJI will also be studied.
This is a 24-month, Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
As part of Medical Devices CE marking regulatory process, an appropriate post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) is required. This PMCF study is in the framework of CE mark renew of FHK® total knee prosthesis, it aims to answer specific questions related to safety and performance of the device, when used in accordance with the approved instructions for use. This study is based on a quality of life self-assessment from the preoperative to postoperative phases and up to two years of follow-up.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of molnupiravir (MK-4482) compared to placebo. The primary hypothesis is that molnupiravir is superior to placebo as assessed by the rate of sustained recovery through Day 29.
Smoking is associated with a higher rate of surgical complications. For example, in orthopedics, the risk of complications is 31% in smokers against 5% in non-smokers. The management of this addiction is recommended and particularly interesting in scheduled surgery, because it allows smoking cessation well before the procedure. However, for patients who cannot consider this smoking cessation, the mere information of the risk cannot be sufficient and a real strategy must be constructed and evaluated. Currently, studies results indicate that a patient reducing the number of smoked cigarettes will unconsciously modify their smoking behaviour to obtain the usual nicotine level, this effect is called self-titration. Conversely, nicotine replacement while continuing consumption could induce an improvement in smoking behaviour, therefore less intoxication which would be beneficial in terms of reduction of post-operative complications. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a systematic proposition of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in regular smokers. Tobacco addiction specialists have demonstrated that intoxication and dependence are well correlated with the exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) level, so this measurement will be used in addition to the patient's interview.
In this study, the new drug called PPSGG (PN-1007) will be tested. Preliminary studies conducted in animals suggest PPSGG (PN-1007) might be a good treatment for reducing levels of anti-MAG antibodies in patients with anti-MAG neuropathy. This is the first research of PPSGG (PN-1007) in people and its main purpose is to test its safety and acceptability in patients. In this study it will be examined how the drug is changed by and removed from the body and checked for signs that the drug may be truly effective against anti-MAG neuropathy. PPSGG (PN-1007) will be tested at several different doses.
The purpose of this study will be to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and describe dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of W0180 given as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1).
The goal of this prospective observational study is to assess the impact of fluid challenge administration on macro and microcirculation in patients situated in the gray zone during a high risk abdominal surgery
