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 aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of cardiac MRI to detect coronary disease in diabetic patients. Cardiac MRI will be compared to myocardial scintigraphy with is the method being used in current practice. The investigators believe that cardiac MRI will be as efficient if not better that myocardial scintigraphy to detect tight coronary artery stenosis with the advantage of providing no radiation to the patient. Moreover, the investigators believe that cardiac MR will add additional information regarding possible undetected myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the benefit of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2132231A in preventing disease relapse when given to melanoma patients, after surgical removal of their tumor. This Protocol Posting has been updated following Amendments 1 of the Protocol, March 2010. The impacted sections are outcome measures and entry criteria.
Will an increase of the dose of mannitol improve the effects on neuromonitoring in patients suffering intracranial hypertension following traumatic brain injury?
The primary objective of the study is to select the dose of AVE1642 to be administered in patients with liver carcinoma not eligible for local treatment. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the safety profile of AVE1642 as single agent and the safety profile of combinations with other anti-cancer therapies of interest in liver carcinoma , including detection of immunogenicity. - To evaluate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics profiles of AVE1642 as single agent or any PK interactions when given in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. - To assess the preliminary clinical activity in terms of response rate (Complete response + Partial response), duration of responses, stabilisation rate and duration of stabilisation, according to RECIST criteria. - To assess the biological activity at the tumor level.
This cohort study should provide an exhaustive overview on long-term safety of various preventive HIV-vaccines administered in phase I and II clinical trials to healthy volunteers of the ANRS network.
The primary objective is to compare the potential for next-day residual effects of volinanserin 2 mg/day and lormetazepam 1 mg/day by measuring the sleepiness in the morning using the patient's sleep questionnaire during 4 weeks of treatment in patients with chronic primary insomnia and sleep maintenance difficulties. Secondary objectives are to compare the clinical safety of both products, including the potential for rebound insomnia and withdrawal symptoms after treatment discontinuation, to compare the efficacy of both products on subjective sleep parameters and to compare the effects of both products on patient's daytime functioning.
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
Studying the effectiveness of a functional rehabilitation protocol (FRP) in early Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) patients treated with Betaferon by comparing the physical ability of patients with and without FRP.
Background Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been extremely successful in reducing restenosis and the need for repeat revascularization procedures in patients who undergo PCI. The potential increased incidence of late stent thrombosis prompted cardiologists to prolong the use of dual anti-platelet therapy after the one year duration recommended by the recent ESC guidelines. However, while the premise that the cardiologists should put all their patients on dual clopidogrel-aspirin regimen for life sounds the easy way, it is an unrealistic goal because of the potential increase of bleeding complications and of the healthcare cost increase. The recent possibility to monitor aspirin with bedside assays offers a real opportunity to compare in good aspirin responder patients the two strategies: aspirin-clopidogrel regimen versus mono-aspirin regimen and to respond to the key question: can the investigators switch from dual to single antiplatelet therapy after six months in good aspirin responder patients ? Study National, multicenter, randomised prospective open group comparison of dual clopidogrel-ASA versus single ASA regimen after six months, in good ASA responder patients treated with DES (name: XIENCE) implantation. End point Primary: At 12 months: death, myocardial infarction, repeat urgent revascularization, stroke requiring a new hospitalisation and major bleedings. Secondary: Incidence at 24 and 36 months after drug eluting stent(name: XIENCE) implantation, of the same composite endpoint and incidence at 12, 24 and 36 months of minor bleeding complications Participating centres: 60 french centers Date of study beginning: November 2008 Duration of inclusion: 9 months Duration of study: 45 months
Pharmacokinetic models for anesthetic agents are questionable. The objective of the study is to compare the propofol and remifentanil doses required to maintain the bispectral index in the range 40-60 in two groups of patients: obese patients and lean patients
