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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term clinical and functional performance of the P.F.C. Sigma Rotating Platform TC3 knee system in revision knee surgery and to determine whether the implant design results in a longer-lasting knee replacement.
To understand the dose-response characteristics of PF-00885706 for efficacy in terms of symptomatic relief when used as add-on treatment to esomeprazole 20mg (standard proton pump inhibitor [PPI] treatment), in subjects with gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD) who have inadequate relief with PPIs.
The present study is assessing the efficacy and safety of AVE5530 (25 mg and 50 mg) in add-on to ongoing statin treatment in a double-blind manner in comparison with placebo, in the management of patients with primary hypercholesterolemia considered as inadequately controlled despite their ongoing statin treatment. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of the association AVE5530+statin on LDL-C level reduction after 12 weeks of treatment. The effects of AVE5530 on other lipid parameters will be assessed as secondary objectives.
Thoracotomy for lung resection is deemed painful. Ketamine is now a renewed interest in preventing acute postoperative pain. A previous study performed in the service testing the association ketamine/morphine versus morphine PCA, postoperative, for patients who do not benefit from postoperative epidural thoracic surgery, has demonstrated a reduction of postoperative pain associated with a reduction of nocturnal arterial desaturation following surgery when ketamine was added to morphine.
Continuous bupivacaine administration through an elastomeric pump (Pain Buster) has been found effective for post operative analgesia in a large range of surgery. Ropivacaine is a less toxic drug, never tested in the surgery of latissimus dorsi and serratus micro anastomotic flaps (from the investigators knowledge). The aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of this drug and device for post operative analgesia, associated with patient controlled analgesia with morphine. For this purpose a controlled randomized double blind trial against placebo (saline) is performed, enrolling 40 (20x2) patients during 3 years, in order to measure total morphine consumption during the first 48 post operative hours and to evaluate analgesia and sides effects of morphine in each group.
This is a multicenter open-label phase II trial of trastuzumab in patients with HER2 positive B-ALL in relapse, or with refractory disease. Herceptin is administered as a 4 mg/kg intravenous loading dose followed by 2 mg/kg weekly for at least 2 months and/or till progression. Response and HER2 expression are assessed each month by bone marrow aspirate.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Diamyd (rhGAD65 formulated in alum) is effective in preserving the body's own insulin producing capacity in patients recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease, affecting up to 10 % of the general population in developed countries. Corticosteroids are necessary to control symptoms, but induce adverse events sometimes intolerable. In severe asthma, which represent 5 to 10% of global asthma, corticosteroids frequently fail to prevent severe exacerbations, leading to emergency care, hospitalization and sometimes death. The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors specific for exacerbation outcome which will lead to a minor increase in treatment in order to prevent exacerbations, while minimizing drug adverse effects.
This study will determine the value of adding AMG 479 (fully human monoclonal antibody against IGF-1R) to paclitaxel and carboplatin first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (<1 cm) FIGO stage III and IV (positive pleural cytology only) ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma.
The goal of the vaccination is to induce humoral (antibody) and intracellular (T lymphocyte) responses. Various data show that intradermal vaccination is more efficient than intramuscular vaccination: the humoral response is statistically better after intradermic vaccination, compared to intramuscular vaccination, even in target populations such as older subjects or immunosuppressed patients
