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.
COVID-19 lockdown presents particular challenges for people living with obesity. Indeed during this period, the lifestyle was deeply modified: diet, activity, and sleep behaviours, home office, take care of child, social distancing... All of these modifications may have led to stress and anxiety. It has been previously demonstrated that high perceived stress levels are correlated with high preference for sweet and fat foods . In this context caution would be exercised in obese patients especially those with binge eating disorders. Indeed binge eating disorder is characterized by compulsive overeating or consuming abnormal amounts of food while feeling unable to stop and a loss of control. And one key trigger of binge eating disorder is stress and anxiety. Thus, patients with binge eating disorders may have been more sensitive to the impact of lockdown and thus urgently would require appropriated care management. The main objective is to compare the eating behaviour between obese patients with or without binge eating disorders. The second objective is to compare the weight evolution between the two groups before and after the lockdown. To reach these objectives, the scientific team of the CIO project proposes to contact by phone and e-mail obese patients (with or without binge eating disorders) who have been hospitalized for their obesity disease before the start of the lockdown in the Endocrinology department of the Lyon Hospital. The patients will be asked to fill in several questionnaires (using an online tool) allowing to evaluate their mood, anxiety, eating behaviour, binge eating disorders… during the lockdown. The results of these questionnaires will be compared to those collected during their hospitalisation before the lockdown. The hypothesis is that participants suffering from binge eating disorder will have more sever eating behaviour perturbations as higher level of stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms.
A Phase I open label followed by a Phase II randomized, controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of ABTL0812 in combination with FOLFIRINOX for first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic. Funded by: FDA OOPD (Grant #FD-R-006817-01), H2020 EIC Accelerator (Grant #954825) and Ability Pharmaceuticals SL.
Primary Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Gaucher disease and of other etiologies, in patients of 15 years old or more presenting with unexplained splenomegaly after exclusion of first intention-diagnoses (e.g. portal hypertension, diagnosis or suspicion of haematological malignancy, haemolytic anemia) based on basic physical and biological exams (e.g. full blood count, liver enzymes, reticulocytes) Secondary Objective: To describe the exams and tests conducted for diagnosis purpose and the more frequent associations
France and especially the region "Grand Est" have been damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic resulted in a reorganization of the hospitalization sectors. In order to better understand the disease, the investigators wish to carry out a descriptive analysis of hospitalized patient data. This study would notably allow us to identify some prognostic factors. The main objective of this study is to identify individual factors that are associated with a poor prognosis (with ICU admission or death).
To limit the pandemic Covid-19 infection, the French government imposed a closure of all Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The family's visitations are prohibited during active Covid -19 pandemic in 2020 and in 2021. This restrictive visit policy could result in an increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder for relatives of ICU patients. The aim of this study is to compare symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress for relatives of ICU patients during Covid period with those during no Covid period (2020 and 2021) with those no Covid period (2022)
Several studies have shown that smokers have a higher risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19 once a person has been infected. This is explained by the damage caused by smoking at the bronchopulmonary level and an overexpression of some coronavirus receptors at the pulmonary level when exposed to tobacco. In contrast, recent data indicate that smokers are proportionally less infected with the COVID-19 virus since all available cohort data from around the world show a very low rate of smokers among COVID-19 infected subjects. The mechanisms at the origin of this protective effect are not known. All of these data lead us to question the real role of nicotine in the protective effect of tobacco observed in the general population against infection by the COVID-19 virus. The objectives are : - To show that subjects taking nicotine substitutes as part of a smoking cessation program are less infected with COVID-19 than non-smokers. - To show that active smokers are less infected with COVID-19 than non-smokers. - To compare the percentage of positive serological tests in subjects taking nicotine substitutes to the percentage of positive serological tests in active smokers.
Understanding the SARS-Cov2 epidemic is a major public health issue, both in the community and in the hospital sector. Because of their central position in the management of patients infected with COVID-19, hospital staff may be considered at high risk of infection. The development of serological tests makes it possible to reliably document a contamination, symptomatic or not, that is more than 3 weeks old. These tests, combined with clinical questioning of the symptoms, make it possible to determine the proportion of asymptomatic infections whose impact in the transmission of this disease appears to be major. The duration of the presence of the antibodies that are hoped to neutralize after infection with CoV2-SARS remains uncertain. Documenting the evolution of antibody levels and their monitoring in a population at high risk of re-exposure to CoV2-SARS is a major issue in understanding this disease and in assessing the risk of infection among healthcare workers.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, in which one dose of nangibotide will be tested versus placebo. All patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19, and a requirement for respiratory support will be considered for study participation. The applicable local requirements for informed consent will be followed. Where permissible, an emergency consent procedure will be followed for patients unable to provide consent by themselves. All potential study patients will receive standard of care treatment throughout the study. Patients will receive a continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion of nangibotide at 1.0 mg/kg/h or a matching placebo. Treatment with study drug must be initiated as early as possible but no later than 48 hours after the initiation of ventilatory support (Patients will be treated for 5 days or until discharge from critical care, whichever is sooner). Follow-up visits will be performed on days 8 and 14. The end of study visit is at day 28. A further follow up visit will be undertaken on day 60.
