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 study will assess the effect of bosentan on pulmonary vascular resistance and exercise capacity in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. It consists of 3 phases: screening, treatment and follow-up. During the screening visit, the study doctor will decide if patients meet the study requirements. All potential patients will have a diagnosis of increased pulmonary artery pressures that is shown by right heart catheterization conducted shortly prior to start of study treatment. Patients will be asked to perform exercise capacity test (walking as far as possible for 6 minutes). Following the baseline visit the treatment phase consists of 4 additional clinic visits during which the good and bad effects of the drug are reviewed and exercise capacity test will be repeated. Patients will be treated for 16 weeks. Blood samples will be collected every month, or more often, if needed. At the end of the study some of the patients will be asked to repeat the right heart catheterization. All patients will repeat an exercise capacity test. After completion of the study, patients will have the option of enrolling in a long-term follow-up study where all patients will receive active drug. Patients electing not to participate in the extension study will be followed up for safety assessments for about 28 days after the end of the study treatment.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-232632 administered as Atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/RTV) is superior to an anti-retroviral regimen including Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV), as assessed by an increased brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD), in HIV-infected patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

This Phase 3 trial is an open-label extension study of the placebo-controlled, double-blind VRX-RET-E22-302 trial. Patients who have completed the VRX-RET-E22-302 trial and who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be treated with 600-1200 mg/day of retigabine as an adjunct therapy to their current antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) or vagal nerve stimulation. Treatment will be continued until the subject withdraws from the study or until the program is discontinued. Patients will be recruited from 55-60 sites in Europe, Israel, Australia, and South Africa. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with retigabine administered as adjunctive therapy in adult epilepsy patients with partial-onset seizures, who completed the double-blind Study VRX-RET-E22-302. Secondary objectives are: to evaluate efficacy of long-term treatment with retigabine and patient quality of life and to evaluate whether retinal pigmentation, unexplained vision loss, pigmentation of non-retinal ocular tissue, and discoloration of nails, lips, skin or mucosa change over time after discontinuation of retigabine.
This is a Phase I/II, ascending, multi-dose study of BMS-663513, an agonistic anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody, administered every three weeks to patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, toleration and dose response of PHA-794428 after multiple weekly injections in male and female growth hormone deficient patients.
The aim of this study is to study the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulins for inducing remission in patients relapsing of systemic vasculitides.
The aim of IMPROVE is to define the optimal maintenance therapy for ANCA-associated vasculitides (AASV) by comparing the AZA (standard regimen) with MMF in terms of efficacy, i.e. in preventing relapses. HYPOTHESIS : MMF might be more effective than azathioprine as maintenance drug in AASV patients, reducing by 50% relapse rate, with a same frequency of adverse effects
The purpose of this study is to assess if aprotinin (BAYA0128), given intravenously during your surgery, is safe and can help reduce the need for a blood transfusion during bladder surgery.
Study to Investigate the Effect of Aprotinin of Transfusion Requirements in Patients Undergoing Surgical Procedures for Lung or Esophageal Cancer.
