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 overall aim of the BREATHER trial is to evaluate the role of Short-Cycle Therapy (SCT) in the management of HIV-infected young people who have responded well to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to determine whether young people with chronic HIV infection undergoing Short-Cycle Therapy of five days on ART and two days off maintain the same level of viral load suppression as those on continuous therapy, over 48 weeks. To assess the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy, the incidence of toxicities, immunological control, resistance mutations, acceptability, quality of life and adherence to the randomised strategy will also be compared. Importantly, because of insufficient data on short-term viral load rebound after stopping ART in this population, the trial will incorporate an initial pilot phase in selected centres, to assess the safety of the SCT strategy by evaluating detailed HIV-1 RNA profiles of participants on the SCT strategy.
This is a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional study of patients who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids and are initiating a pre-operative treatment with ESMYA. The objectives of the study are to characterize and describe treatment with ESMYA and to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and HRQL outcomes in this population
Introduction - Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Recurrences remain, however, not infrequent and are mainly due to PVs reconnection. In this setting, all procedural means able to improve the quality of tissue lesions are welcome. Study Hypothesis - A continuous sensing of contact force (CF) during ablation, offered by a new catheter available on the market, was a valuable additional tool increasing the efficacy of the ablation procedure for PVI. Methods - Prospective observational non-randomized monocentric study. Patients with paroxysmal AF receive PVI following standard ablation procedures (linear antral catheter ablation guided by CARTO 3 System, Biosense Webster, Inc.) using either a new irrigated RF ablation catheter that provides tip-to-tissue CF information (THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH Catheter, Biosense Webster, Inc.) (CF group), or a non-CF irrigated catheter (THERMOCOOL SF or EZ STEER THERMOCOOL Catheter, Biosense Webster, Inc.) (control group). Overall, 60 consecutive patients are enrolled in the study, with 30 patients in each group. All procedures is performed by the same experienced operator, not blinded to the catheter used. Except for CF information (with an objective of at least 10 g, associated to the most perpendicular vector obtainable), ablation procedures are carried out using identical approaches in both groups. Patients are discharged from hospital free of antiarrhythmic therapy. Patients are enrolled in a specific follow-up plan. Primary Endpoints -(1) Proportion of PVI after exclusive anatomic approach, (2) Proportion of patients free of AF after 12-month follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety profile of daratumumab when given in combination with Lenalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or relapsed and refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM).
Some BRCA-mutated women are reluctant to undergo laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The goal of the bilateral laparoscopic radical fimbriectomy the investigators suggest, is to suppress the tubal source of possible dysplastic cells from which can stem this high grade tumor, while preserving a natural ovarian hormonal secretion.
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution whose incidence is higher in the tropics, where conditions for transmissions are favorable. The disease is endemic in Martinique and Guadeloupe, two Caribbean islands of the French West Indies. In tropical areas, many wild and domestic animals serve as reservoirs for pathogenic Leptospira strains and contaminate the environment by shedding the organisms in their urine. Humans are usually infected through abraded skin or mucous membrane contact with water contaminated by the urine of animal reservoirs, and less frequently by direct contact with animals or their urine. The mean incubation period is 10 days, with a usual range of 2-20 days. Clinical manifestations are protean and the spectrum of symptoms range from subclinical or mild anicteric febrile illness to acute renal failure and respiratory distress syndrome which are associated with high mortality rates. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and culture are the reference standard test for diagnosis of leptospirosis, but they are only available in reference laboratories and their conclusive results requires convalescent sample or prolonged incubation. At present, only direct detection methods using PCR might provide rapid diagnosis during the early acute stage of the illness, when treatment is likely to have the greatest benefit. Quantitative PCR also offers the ability to measure level of leptospiremia in clinical samples. Using qPCR based diagnosis, the investigators have the opportunity to study the association of level of leptospiremia and clinical manifestations in French West Indies. All qPCR-positive samples will be used for molecular typing.
The main objective of this protocol is to compare the impact on renal function of two different immunosuppressive regimens in patients with de novo renal transplant. Renal function will be accurately evaluated by measuring the clearance of iohexol. The protocol will also evaluate the efficacy and safety in a short term of these two different immunosuppressive regimens.
The primary purpose of this study is to measure the response rate in participants with the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), or myelofibrosis (MF) when treated with LY2784544, including those who have demonstrated an intolerance to, failure of primary response to, or have demonstrated disease progression while on ruxolitinib.
Late intrauterine growth restriction is infrequently diagnosed with an overall sensitivity of 40 % in low-risk pregnancies. In addition, late intrauterine growth restriction may be associated with intrauterine death and poor neonatal outcomes i.e. birth asphyxia and hospitalization in intensive care unit. The investigators hypothesis that a later third trimester routine ultrasound may be more accurate to diagnose late intrauterine growth restriction.
The purpose of this study is to determine the side effects of treatment of the combination of nivolumab and daratumumab in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
