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.
People with disabilities are less physically active than the general population. Currently, the level of leisure physical activity of people who are members or users of APF France handicap and their barriers to physical activity are unknown. The APF France handicap association is a national movement for the defense and representation of people with disabilities and their families. It represents all types and severities of disability. The objective of this study is to describe the level of leisure physical activity of people who are members or users of APF France handicap and their barriers to physical activity.
The study aims to evaluate MSCopilot® Detect, a smartphone application for at-home monitoring of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary objective is to enhance and standardize remote monitoring of MS patients to accurately assess disease progression caused by either Relapse Activity Worsening (RAW) or Progression Independent of Relapses (PIRA). The study also aims to assess the safety, usability, and satisfaction of the solution. A secondary objective is to determine MSCopilot® Detect's ability to provide early detection of disease changes and predict changes in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores in more patients. Exploratory objectives include evaluating the relationship between MSCopilot® Detect composite and individual scores and other biomarkers such as MRI, soluble glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP), and soluble neurofilament light chain (sNfL). Patients will be able to download the free MSCopilot® Detect app. They will participate in 1 inclusion visit and 3 follow-up visits, scheduled at 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months (an additional visit at 24 months may be scheduled if necessary). Every 3 months, patients will complete validated questionnaires regarding MS symptoms and quality of life and participate in digital tests designed to monitor MS symptom progression. The study will include 314 MS patients and will be conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark and France
Delirium is a frequent and severe condition, especially in old adults. Its occurrence is due to a drug in 30% of cases. In 2009, the French national health authority (Haute Autorité de Santé) mentioned proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) among the drugs causing delirium. Most reports of delirium associated with PPI use in the literature are due to severe hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. However, a few case reports have described the occurrence of delirium PPI without hyponatremia related to PPI use. In 2016, a prospective observational study including 675 old adults found an association between PPI use and the occurrence of delirium. Evidence linking delirium and PPI use is thus scarce. By using data from the pharmacovigilance database of the World Health Organization (WHO), the investigators aim to describe the characteristics of delirium reports in which PPI were suspected to be involved, and to evaluate the association between PPI use and delirium, and the impact of hyponatremia in this association by performing a disproportionality analysis.
Endometriosis is a common benign disease in premenopausal women and causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility. This infertility may be due to pelvic adhesions and surgery but also because of poor oocyte quality. It is known that endometriosis is associated with an increase oxidative stress, wich induce chronic inflammation, deleterious effect for DNA, proteins and can caused cellular death. ROS markers found in follicular fluid or in serum are significatively higher in endometriosis women. The investigators want to dose a marker of apoptosis in infertile women and see if it's significatively higher in serum and in follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis compared to others infertility causes and if it's correlated to oocyte quality and IVF results. Real time PCR will be used to dose cell free DNA in serum and follicular fluid of patients undergoing IVF treatment (endometriosis and infertility due to tubal factor, male infertility or idiopathic cause). Then the investigators will compare cell free DNA rate with oocyte and embryo quality and with pregnancy outcomes in the different group.
The objective of this preliminary study is therefore to assess the feasibility, safety and reduction of perioperative anxiety thanks to acupressing. In addition, patients undergoing oocyte retrieval often present postoperatively with nausea, abdominal pain and discomfort. Acupuncture could also help these patients.
The clinical course of RRMS patients is variable. Among RIS-Consortium international cohorts, one third of RIS patients progressed to MS at 5 years and 52.2% at 10 years. Biomarkers predictive of MS conversion are key elements to organize personalized medical care, for both follow-up and treatment strategies. EBV seems to be an interesting candidate regarding its involvement MS pathophysiology. It can be easily assess in blood sample in contrast to others prognostic biomarkers validated in RIS : oligoclonal bands and NfL levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum. In RIS, treatment targeting EBV could significantly modify the course of the disease. The investigators aim to make the fisrt description of the EBV epidemiology (immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG anti-viral capsid antigen (VCA), IgG anti Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA)) among RIS patients and to investigate a correlation between the different antibodies' titers (IgM VCA, IgG VCA, IgG EBNA) and the course of the disease (clinical conversion or evidence of disease activity (EDA)).
This study aims to compare two screening strategies for identifying infants with a potential risk of Autism Spectrum and Neurodevelopmental Disorders to provide early access to care and increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating RA when compared to adalimumab in adult participants with inadequate response or intolerance to one TNF-inhibitor who are on a stable dose of methotrexate (MTX). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for the treatment of RA. This study is double-blinded means that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given upadacitinib and who will be given adalimumab. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms randomly, to receive either upadacitinib or adalimumab. There is 1 in 2 chance that participants will receive adalimumab. Each group consists of 2 periods. Approximately 480 participants diagnosed with RA will be enrolled in approximately 250 sites across the world. Participants will receive the oral upadacitinib once daily and matching adalimumab placebo every other week, or the subcutaneous adalimumab every other week and matching upadacitinib placebo once daily during Period 1. Eligible participants will continue to receive same study treatment in Period 2 as assigned in Period 1 and will be followed for 30 days and 70 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intravenous (IV) ganaxolone versus placebo co-administered with IV antiepileptic drug (AED) according to standard of care for the treatment of RSE. Approximately 70 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive ganaxolone IV solution or placebo IV solution along with standard of care (SOC) IV AED.
Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is the recommended method for anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, the optimal post-filter ionized calcium (iCa) target level remains unclear. Currently, it is titrated to a post-filter iCa target ranging from 0.25 to 0.35 mmol/L, which is derived from a few underpowered trials. There are potential side effects associated with citrate administration, which may be increased in patient with liver failure and/or tissue dysoxia, such as alkalemia, acidemia, hypernatremia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and citrate accumulation. Consequently, citrate anticoagulation is contraindicated in the most severe cases. The challenge is to use the minimum necessary dose of citrate to ensure both effective anticoagulation of the circuit and limit citrate administration to reduce the risks of metabolic complications and accumulation. This approach expands the indications for citrate, standardizes practice, and reduces financial costs. Investigators hypothesized that increasing the post-filter iCa target in RCA can limit the dose of citrate, thereby avoiding adverse effects (safety) without compromising the effectiveness of the treatment in preventing filter clotting. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of an increased post-filter iCa target from 0.25-0.35 to 0.35-0.45 mmol/L on the incidence of filter clotting for RCA-CRRT in critically ill patients. Investigators are designing a multicenter randomized controlled non-inferiority study.
