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.
This is a pilot, prospective, monocentric study concerning 15 Parkinson's disease patients requiring deep brain stimulation implantation. The primary objective is to evaluate the psychiatric lesion effects of deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease, using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Big Five Inventory and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD 21).
The objective of our study is therefore to study the evolution of the respiratory microbiome of hospitalized newborns, its interaction with viral infections and their impacts on the evolution of newborns.
This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with excess body weight lose weight. CagriSema is a new medicine developed by Novo Nordisk that combines cagrilintide and semaglutide. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors. In the study, participant will either get CagriSema or dummy medicine and which treatment participant get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years for each participant.
The primary objective of this study will be to assess the agreement between a dental consultation with a nurse acquiring intraoral images, using a 3D intraoral camera, and a standard consultation with a dental surgeon, in institutionalized elderly subjects Institutionalized subjects planned to have a dental consultation and eligible will be included once written informed consent is signed. Their dental consultation will start with a consultation with a nurse to record 3D intraoral images, then a consultation with a dental surgeon for standard dental care, blinded from the nurse consultation will be performed. Thereafter, 3D images will be analyzed by another dental surgeon blinded from the results of both consultations. Agreement on different outcomes between the analysis of the images acquired by the nurse and the standard dental evaluation by a dental surgeon will be assessed. Agreement on the results between the interpretation of the 3D images acquired by a nurse and the standard consultation by a dental surgeon could lead, in the long term, to a significant step forward in dental care of institutionalized patients. Indeed, training nursing home nurses to acquire 3D dental images would enable the identification of patients in need of immediate dental care and thus extend the possibilities of access to consultations with a dentist for these patients. This would increase the efficiency of care.
The aim of this project is to start a biological and clinical collection of patients presenting autoimmune, dysimmune or auto-inflammatory dermatological diseases. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the product RV1551P GB3224 on skin microbiota during wound healing process, based on swab samples collected from lesion areas using an epidermally ablated skin model of erbium YAG laser.
Cerebral lesions are responsible for two thirds of deaths in patients admitted to intensive care following cardiac arrest. Patients with neurological lesions should be the priority target for neuroprotective interventions, which are the cornerstone of post-cardiac arrest care (allowing a reduction in the burden of care for patients without this type of lesion). Furthermore, these interventions must be based on a precise assessment of the severity of these brain lesions: carrying out neuro-protective interventions in patients without brain lesions exposes these patients to unnecessary treatment potentially associated with adverse effects without any possible benefit. However, the early assessment of neurological prognosis, particularly on admission to intensive care, is an area where there is little research and where it is not possible to obtain a precise and reproducible assessment. Several tools can be used to assess this prognosis at an early stage: anamnesis and characteristics of the cardiac arrest and the patient's comorbidities, imaging, electrophysiology and biomarkers. To assess the predictive value of early biomarker testing in patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest, whatever the cause, the investigators plan to conduct a prospective observational multicentre trial. It is important to bear in mind that the aim of this study is not to assess the long-term prognosis of patients suffering cardiac arrest in order to take measures to limit or discontinue active therapies, but simply to provide a reliable tool, simple and quick to use, in order to be able to identify a sub-population of patients who should be the subject of preferential neuro-protection measures, and conversely to simplify management (moderate temperature control, early cessation of sedation, early extubation) for patients with no neurological lesions.
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening condition with an increasing incidence (7-13/100000 PY). The mortality of AMI is associated with the development and extent of transmural intestinal necrosis (IN), ranging from 25% without IN to 75% with IN. Given its potential reversibility, preventing the progression of AMI towards IN is now considered a primary therapeutic goal. Early management of AMI can thus avoid fatal outcomes and prevent lifelong complications such as short bowel syndrome. Following the results of a pilot study showing an improvement in survival and lower resection rates, our team created a first-of-its-kind intestinal stroke center (SURVI unit, Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France) that provides 24/7 standardized multimodal and multidisciplinary care to AMI patients referred from all hospitals in the Paris region. As no randomized clinical trial has ever been conducted, the treatment offered by SURVI is based on pathophysiological knowledge and observational clinical data. AMI naturally progresses to sepsis, surgical complications, and multi-organ failure, direct consequences of IN. Features of sepsis are reported in up to 90% of AMI patients compared with 3-22% of patients with brain or myocardial ischemia, supporting a specific septic component in AMI. Experimental studies demonstrated reduced translocation and mortality in germ-free animals or after administration of oral antibiotics targeting Gram-negative and anaerobic early bacterial overgrowth and translocation. In a prospective observational study, the investigators recently suggested a protective effect of systematic oral antibiotics in terms of intestinal preservation, yielding a reduced occurrence of IN (HR: 0.16, 95% confidence interval 0.03-0.62). However, the systematic use of oral antibiotics in AMI remains controversial due to the individual and collective risk of increasing the carriage of multi-drug resistant bacterias.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a recent and emerging chronic disease, secondary to eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa leading to esophageal dysfunction. The diagnosis of this pathology, and monitoring of the efficacy of therapies, relies on the assessment of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies: follow-up requires numerous digestive endoscopies under general anesthesia, at each therapeutic change, to assess remission. The search for non-invasive biomarkers of active eosinophilic esophagitis is therefore a subject of major interest. The first step is to study EDN (Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin), a protein secreted when eosinophils are activated. Several studies have investigated the association between serum EDN, EDN on esophageal brushing or esophageal biopsies with eosinophilic esophagitis activity, and the results look promising. Urinary EDN is associated with atopy but has not been studied in eosinophilic esophagitis. EDN is a biomarker of interest because it is stable over time and, above all, can be measured routinely, making it applicable to routine patient management and care. Our main objective is to evaluate the correlation of EDN in urine, blood and esophageal brushings with the eosinophilic infiltrate counted on esophageal biopsies in patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy at Trousseau Hospital for suspected eosinophilic esophagitis, or as part of the re-evaluation of known eosinophilic esophagitis under treatment. Finally, esophageal and salivary dysbiosis has been described in eosinophilic esophagitis without direct evidence of its influence on esophageal inflammation and disease. Our secondary objective is to study the esophageal, salivary and fecal microbiota in these same patients in order to describe the composition, alpha and beta-diversity of bacterial and mycological flora between patients and controls, as well as their association with pathology, and to propose possible alternative therapies aimed at modulating the esophageal and/or salivary microbiota in the management of eosinophilic esophagitis. This study will be carried out on a cohort of pediatric patients followed up in the pediatric nutrition and gastroenterology department of the Trousseau-APHP hospital and hospitalized for upper GI endoscopy, either as part of a suspected case of eosinophilic esophagitis, or during follow-up of a previously known case of eosinophilic esophagitis. Blood, urine, stool, saliva, 4 additional esophageal biopsies and esophageal brushings were collected on the day of the digestive endoscopy. Depending on the eosinophilic densitý on the biopsies, subjects will be classified into either the "patient with active eosinophilic esophagitis" group, the "patient with eosinophilic esophagitis in remission" group, or the "control without eosinophilic esophagitis" group. The investigator aim to include 60 patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy, at least half of whoḿ will have active or remitting eosinophilic esophagitis. Furthermore, the study of the immunological, allergological and metabolomic signature of this disease is essential to enable the identification of new biomarkers to guide the creation of models combining several biomarkers predictive of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies. In a second step, the concentration of a panel of cytokines in blood and esophageal biopsies, the allergic sensitization profile in blood and esophageal biopsies, and an untargeted description of esophageal metabolomics will be compared between groups. In terms of clinical prospects, the investigator plan to develop a patient follow-up strategy based on the biomarkers studied, which is better adapted to clinical practice, better tolerated by patients and less costly than repeated endoscopies with esophageal biopsies.
