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 provide continued treatment and assess the long term safety, efficacy and tolerability of oral AEB071 plus tacrolimus vs. mycophenolic acid plus tacrolimus after kidney transplantation.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the effects of belatacept, relative to tacrolimus, on the incidence of rejection, graft loss and death in subjects receiving a liver transplant
To establish the effects of genotropin replacement on cognitive function in patients with severe growth hormone deficiency after traumatic brain injury.
The primary hypothesis is that INT-747 will cause a reduction in alkaline phosphatase levels in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis patients, over a 12 week treatment period, as compared to placebo.
This will be a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, study of six 28-day treatment cycles for patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study will be conducted at approximately 55 sites in the North American, Europe, and South America. Approximately 153 subjects will be enrolled in a randomization (ratio 2:1).
The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney. AMENDMENT 4 RATIONALE (MARCH 2012) : Protocol amendment 4 served to address the data monitoring committee recommendation dated 14 Dec 2011 to discontinue study treatment in all participating patients. It also addressed the subsequent Health Authorities request to implement a 12 month safety follow-up period (actual duration was 9 months in average) post study drug discontinuation.
Although there is a strong rationale to supplement gravid patients suffering intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or preeclampsia with Arginine or other nitric oxide donors, evidence in the literature has been inconclusive. The current study was designed to determine whether oral treatment with L-Arginine, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, would enhance birth weight and/or decrease neonatal morbidity in pregnancies with severe vascular intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Conflicting results have been reported concerning the association of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Schumacher et al. reported an association between AAA and PXF, with no consideration of grade. However, a later study did not confirm the association between AAA and PXF. The present study aimed at comparing the relative prevalence of PXF in patients suffering from AAA and in age-matched hypertensive patients.
Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a validated technique for patients with various intestinal disease leading to chronic malabsorption or obstruction, whatever the aetiology. Intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) is the more frequent complication of patients with HPN and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Moreover, CRBSI often recur after a first treatment of the catheter with a combination of an antibiotic lock on the catheter and systemic intravenous antibiotics. In more than 50 % of the cases, another CRBSI will occur in a median delay of 5 months. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a taurolidine lock secondary prophylaxis on CRBSI recurrence in HPN patients. Study population is separated in 2 groups, the first one receiving the Taurolock and the second one receiving a placebo. This is a randomized double-blind six-month study.
The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AVE9633 and to characterize the dose limiting toxicity(ies). Secondary objectives are to determine the anti-leukemia activity, the global safety and the PK profile.
