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 study will examine the safety and efficacy of Sepraspray in the following model of abdominal surgery: total proctocolectomy and pelvic pouch with diverting ileostomy via laparotomy to treat ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis. Adhesion formation will be evaluated laparoscopically at ileostomy take down. NOTE: A decision was made to terminate this study in June 2008 due to low enrollment.
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of rasburicase in terms of prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia related to Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) in 2 populations of adult patients, previously treated or not with urate oxidase, with relapsing aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and at risk of TLS, presenting with hyperuricemia and/or bulky disease at diagnostic of relapse. The secondary objectives were to : - evaluate the efficacy of rasburicase in terms of renal protection, - evaluate the safety of rasburicase in the two cohorts of patients, - correlate efficacy and safety results with antibodies generation/level.
Influence of neonatal nutrition and growth on psychomotor development of 2 years preterm infants.-Joint influence of environmental factor (early nutrition) and genetics factors on feeding behaviour setting- up in a particular population of infants of whom nutrition and life conditions during first weeks of life were purely controlled.
Parkinson' disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor and postural instability. Dopaminergic therapy such as L-Dopa and dopamine agonists usually leads to a dramatic improvement of symptoms, but disease progression nevertheless remains inevitable. Bilateral Deep brain stimulation in subthalamic nucleus (STN) leads to a spectacular clinical improvement in patients with motor complications and is now considered as the gold standard surgical treatment. However, this surgery induces a post-operative body weight gain which may limit the benefits of this technique and induce critical metabolic disorders such as profound alterations in the central control of energy metabolism. Previous data seems to show that glucose metabolism is also altered. The aim of this prospective study was to identify if the STN stimulation could modify glucose metabolism regulation especially the endogen glucose production (by liver) Hypothalamus is able to detect glucose concentration variations and to control/adjust glucose levels by modulating the hepatic glucose production. As hypothamus and STN are anatomically closed, we hypothesise that the STN stimulation could modulate the hypothalamus function and consequently modify glucose production.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess bronchodilator efficacy as determined by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), the effect on dyspnoea as determined by the Baseline Dyspnoea Index/Transition Dyspnoea Index (BDI/TDI), the effect on health status as determined by the St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the effect on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients being treated with chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine is more effective when given alone or together with dalteparin and/or capecitabine in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying whether dalteparin prevents blood clots in patients with pancreatic cancer receiving treatment with different combinations of gemcitabine and capecitabine.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding ASA404 to standard chemotherapy makes the cancer treatment more effective in patients with advanced lung cancer.
The aim of this multi-center, randomized controlled study is to acquire and compare information on gait performance in patients with chronic hemiplegia (six months to two years post-stroke) who either continue to attend two physical therapy sessions per week for two months or who stop physical therapy sessions for two months.Following the initial screening, subjects will be randomized into two groups: one who continues attending two physical therapy sessions per week for two months, or the other one who stops physical therapy sessions for two months. Before and after those two months, a 3 days recording will be made using an ambulatory system called TRIDENT.
Blood loss was reported as a prognostic risk factor of morbidity and overall survival after hepatic resection. The aim of this study prospective randomized was compare the efficacy of the administration of tranexamic acid versus placebo to reduce perioperative bleeding after major hepatectomy (> 3 hepatic segments).
This is a Phase II, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study of oral lenalidomide monotherapy administered to subjects with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma. This study will be conducted in two phases: a Treatment Phase and a Follow-up Phase. Subjects who qualify for enrollment into the study will enter the Treatment Phase and receive single-agent lenalidomide 25 mg once daily on Days 1-21 every 28 days (28-day cycles). Subjects may continue participation in the Treatment Phase of the study for a maximum duration of 24 months, or until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events develop. All subjects who discontinue the Treatment Phase for any reason will continue to be followed until progression of disease or until next lymphoma treatment is given, whichever comes first, during the Follow-up Phase. Objectives: Primary: • To determine the efficacy of lenalidomide monotherapy in relapsed or refractory T-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). Efficacy will be assessed by measuring the response rate, tumor control rate, duration of response, time to progression and progression free survival. Secondary: • To evaluate the safety of lenalidomide monotherapy as treatment for subjects with relapsed or refractory T-cell NHL.
