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 score on urinary function (International Prostate Score Symptom) at 28 days. The main objective is to assess the efficacy of treatment with Ialuril® Prefill on functional recovery at 4 weeks, based on the International Prostate Score Symptom. A paired test will be performed to compare the International Prostate Score Symptom score between 0 and 28 days.
In intensive care units (ICUs), around 20% of patients experience respiratory failure after planned extubation. Nearly 40-50% of them eventually require reintubation with subsequently high mortality rates reaching 30-40%. NIV used as rescue therapy to treat post-extubation respiratory failure could increase the risk of death. However, NIV may avoid reintubation in a number of cases, and recent large-scale clinical trials on extubation have shown that around 40 to 50% of patients with post-extubation respiratory failure are actually treated with NIV. Whereas high-flow nasal oxygen has never been specifically studied for management of post-extubation respiratory failure, this respiratory support could also in this setting constitute an alternative to standard oxygen or NIV. Given the best noninvasive respiratory support strategy in patients with post-extubation respiratory failure remains unknown, we have decided to assess whether NIV alternating with high-flow nasal oxygen as compared to high-flow nasal oxygen alone may decrease mortality of patients in ICUs with post-extubation respiratory failure.
The perception of the environment through the study of sensory awareness is important to understand the adaptive or symptomatological behaviors (e.g., withdrawal, increased activity level, stimulation seeking, etc.). Sensory processing disorders, such as hypersensitivities or hyposensitivities, have been described in people with depression using the Adolescent Adult Sensory Profile scale. In a recent study, similar results consistent with extreme sensory profiles (hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, sensation avoidance) in adults with a major depressive disorder were observed. The evolution over time of the sensory profile in people with a depressive disorder is not known. It is currently unknown whether these extreme sensory processing profiles are stable over time or whether they may evolve with the depressive symptomatology to normalize with clinical improvement. This knowledge could have an important impact both on the symptomatological expression of the disorder, its recognition, and also on the management of the patient. The investigators aim to study the evolution over time of the sensory profile of depressed subjects hospitalized using the ASSP. The behavioral responses of individuals with sensory processing disorder may be related to the coping strategies of these individuals with their living environment. In a second step, the investigators will study the second step the sensory profile of subjects with depression according to their coping strategies, their living environment and their clinical characteristics (anxiety (anxiety, psychomotor slowing, self-esteem, anhedonia).
Prospective observational cohort consisting of all adult patients admitted to participating critical care units (ICU and CCU) during the study period, with blood cultures collected as part of their care, and who did not express any objection to participating. For each patient, data will be collected prospectively for each blood culture set collected.
This study will evaluate the safety, biomarkers, and efficacy of tominersen compared with placebo in participants with prodromal and early manifest Huntington's Disease.
The goal of this multicentre cluster randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a joint practice of a Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme in nursing home on the relationship between family caregivers and residents living with mild to moderate dementia. The intervention consists of 24 sessions of Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme for two one-hour sessions per week in a family caregiver-resident pair. The researchers will compare the practice of the intervention in pairs with a separate practice and with the absence of intervention to see if any effects are observed on the family caregiver-resident relationship. The hypotheses are as follows: - Hypothesis 1: the relationship between family caregiver and resident will be judged better after the joint practice of a Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme compared to a separate practice and compared to no intervention. - Hypothesis 2: signs of anxiety and depression in the family caregiver and resident should be lower after joint practice of a Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme compared to separate practice and compared to no intervention. - Hypothesis 3: the family caregivers' feeling of competence will be higher after the joint practice of a Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme compared to a separate practice and compared to no intervention. - Hypothesis 4: the quality of life of the residents will be better after the joint practice of a Tai Chi inspired gymnastics programme compared to a separate practice and compared to no intervention.
This PMCF study is designed to collect safety and efficacy data on hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries with Corin BiPolar-i shell and the Oceane+ or Meije Duo femoral stem up to 10 years.
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.

Levosimendan, a drug with inotropic, vasodilatory and myocardial protective properties, has been proposed for the prevention and treatment of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome in cardiac surgery. Despite preliminary studies with promising results, large randomized controlled trials aimed at demonstrating the benefits of levosimendan did not show superiority over placebo in this indication. However, in these studies, the infusion was neither performed at the maximum dosage nor during the 24 hours preceding the surgery, but mainly at the very beginning of the operation. However, post hoc analyses showed a reduction in mortality and in the occurrence of low cardiac output syndrome in the subgroup of patients who had undergone isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, in contrast to those who had undergone valvular or combined surgery. Another recent study suggests that under similar conditions, preconditioning with levosimendan started 48 hours before surgery reduces the length of stay in intensive care and the average cost of hospitalization. There are no formal recommendations on the prophylactic use of levosimendan in cardiac surgery for heart failure patients with impaired LVAS. However, the France-Levo registry, a multicenter observational study requested by the HAS, has shown that in real practice there is a place for preconditioning with levosimendan, which is used in this indication for 7% of the patients in the registry. The Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation Department of the Nancy Brabois University Hospital, which actively participated in the France-Levo registry, is one of the cardiac surgery centers that uses this practice, as is the University Hospital of Rouen. It is interesting to be able to evaluate retrospectively whether levosimendan preconditioning has a positive impact on the postoperative prognosis of patients and more particularly on the reduction of the length of stay in critical care and in hospital compared to standard management.
