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.
Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving PARPi may experience rare but life-threatening adverse events such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Today, data about MDS/AML are scarce. The objective was to investigate reports of MDS/AML adverse events related to PARPi, including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, talazoparib and veliparib using the World Health Organization (WHO) and the French pharmacovigilance databases.
The goal of this study is the multimodal exploration via eyetracking, MRI and EEG data of ocular movements and the corresponding brain activation during ecologic visual stimulation in the healthy population.
On January 2020, the discovery of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was officially announced by the Chinese health authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO). Its complete genome was sequenced by the laboratory of respiratory infection viruses at the Institut Pasteur on 29 January 2020 in France. This will allow the identification of antigenic structures involved in the immune response and the development of serological diagnostic tests. Many questions are being asked about this new virus and the infection it causes, including questions about the percentage of asymptomatic and pauci-symptomatic forms. Serological studies can provide answers to these questions. There is no serological test for SARS-COV-2 yet, but the laboratory of respiratory infection viruses at the Institut Pasteur is working on its development. This study proposes to carry out a collection of samples taken from subjects who travelled to China before the epidemic outbreak or suspected of being infected with SARS-CoV-2. As soon as it is available, serology will be performed on the collected samples.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the incidence of post-operative thrombotic complications after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery in the context of atherosclerosis or infectious aneurysm and its links with preoperative inflammation and hemostasis.
The main purpose of this study will be to evaluate the prognostic value at 3 months of life of brain perfusion MRI determined by Arterial Spin Labeling technique in the first week of life of term newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy requiring management in neonatal intensive care unit.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that appeared in December 2019 in the Wuhan district. COVID-19 has since affected more than 150 countries across the world and especially France. The first epidemiological data, mostly from Chinese studies, indicate that diabetes is one of the most common comorbidities, with high blood pressure, in patients with COVID-19. Moreover, the presence of diabetes at admission would be a risk factor for both ICU hospitalization and death. Nevertheless, specific data on people with diabetes and COVID-19 are fragmentary, justifying the achievement of a dedicated prospective observational study. The French nationwide CORONADO study aims to specifically describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes admitted to hospital with COVID-19 infection. Particular attention will be devoted to glycemic control at admission (i.e. the level of HbA1c), the diabetic complications, as well as anti-diabetic and antihypertensive therapies. This study will provide answers to caregivers and patients with diabetes regarding the risk factors related to diabetes for COVID-19 prognosis. This pilot study will be used for the development of new studies and for the establishment of recommendations for the cost of care in patients with diabetes and COVID-19.
This is an observational, open, longitudinal, multicentre study conducted in France. The study plans to enrol 119 patients with irritable bowel syndrome who will be included by about 50 general practitioners or gastroenterologists consulting in private offices. The treatment, Lactiplus® is a medical device, in the form of capsules containing L. gasseri LA806. The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of a 4-week treatment with the medical device on abdominal pain.
Approximately 20% of stroke survivors have difficulties to dorsiflex the ankle and clear the ground during walking. This impairment, termed as "foot drop", is caused by an association of weak dorsiflexors and increased spasticity and stiffness of the plantar-flexors. As a consequence, walking performances are reduced and energy cost of walking is deteriorated. This may increase performance fatigability, as the locomotion will be realized at a higher percentage of the subjects' capacities. In order to overcome these issues, different treatments are proposed. One of the most conventional solutions are the use of ankle foot orthosis (AFO) and it is the most commonly prescribed device used to compensate for "foot drop". There is a very large choice of AFO on the market which can be proposed to patients with foot drop. The aim of this study is thus to assess the mechanical effects of using a manufactured carbon AFO in by comparison to a custom-made thermo-plastic AFO on walking capacity (distance and energy cost), fatigue and "foot drop" control throughout the gait phase in patients with hemiparetic stroke.
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a temporary mechanical circulatory support that has been increasingly used over the last decade to restore and maintain adequate end-organ perfusion, with data suggesting improvement in outcome for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. Nevertheless, VA-ECMO weaning should be questioned every day during patient's support. Indeed, studies have shown that the incidence of severe complications related to ECMO is associated with longer circulatory support duration. Inotropes such as dobutamine are currently used to improve myocardial contractility during VA-ECMO support with the aim to enhance left ventricular ejection, aortic valve opening and to shorten ECMO duration. However, many data suggest an increase in mortality related to predisposition to myocardial ischemia and arrythmias. Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizing inotropic agent with systemic, coronary and pulmonary vasodilatory properties and specific cardioprotective effect without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. The use of levosimendan in patients undergoing VA-ECMO may therefore be of interest both to reduce the duration of mechanical support and to minimize severe complication with few data suggesting a potential benefit of levosimendan for VA-ECMO weaning and survival in post-cardiotomy low cardiac output syndrome with improvement of endothelial function and hemodynamics. Investigators therefore sought to investigate whether the use of levosimendan improves weaning for patients undergoing VA-ECMO support for refractory cardiogenic shock hospitalized in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU).
