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.
LEMON aim is to evaluate the feasibility, efficiency and security of a standardized Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - guided protocol for completion and optimization of Left Main (LM) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
The majority of primary cancers of the ovary or peritoneum are represented by high-grade serous adenocarcinomas. These are rare pathologies, the incidence of which is estimated at 7.1 per 100,000, representing approximately 4,500 new cases per year in France (INCA 2017). In the absence of effective screening, nearly 85% of patients have an advanced disease at diagnosis (corresponding to the FIGO III or IVA stage, characterized by diffuse peritoneal involvement). Despite multidisciplinary care, the majority of patients (80%) will recur within a median of 18 to 24 months. It is therefore necessary to develop new tools, in particular molecular, in order to allow : - to better select patients accessible to full interval surgery - to exclude patients who would not benefit from this surgery in terms of survival In 2010, Chibon et al. identified, from a cohort of patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STM), a molecular signature (called CINSARC), based on the expression profile of 67 genes involved in mitotic control and chromosomal integrity. The team showed that this transcriptomic signature is an independent prognostic factor in different types of STM, but also a prognostic factor more discriminating than the histological grade (FNCLCC), historical and major prognostic factor of STM. Being initially made from frozen material and on a DNA biochip (Affymetrix), this signature was unusable outside the field of fundamental research. This is why CINSARC has been gradually optimized, first by the RNA sequencing technique on frozen tissue fixed in formalin (FFPE), and recently on FFPE tissue by the NanoString® technique. This very sensitive and inexpensive technique requires only small amounts of total RNA, making it compatible with use on "routine" diagnostic samples, microbiopsy or surgical biopsy, opening the door to real clinical application. Several clinical studies using this latest CINSARC optimization (called NanoCind®) to determine the treatment of patients with STM will also begin soon. As a result of this work, necessary in order to more precisely support the potential of CINSARC in this pathology, the investigators hope to be able to assess from the diagnosis the evolutionary potential of the patients, which could make it possible to evaluate therapeutic strategies adapted to the profiles of each subpopulation: the investigators can for example imagine in theory a therapeutic de-escalation for low-risk patients, or else, for very high-risk patients, an intensified strategy.
The aim of the this study is to assess the short term physiological effects of 3 ventilation strategies for adult patients with ARDS admitted to intensive care unit. Two of those strategies are based on electrical impedance tomography (EIT) monitoring.
The aim is to study the relationship between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9) in humans with a kinetic study of lipoproteins in patients with dramatic increase of Lp(a) and controls.
Hair loss is a frequent cause of patient consultation in dermatology. It is known to have a strong impact on patients' quality of life for many reasons; such as esthetic aspect, financial implications, social consequences. Numerous studies have assessed the impact of some types of alopecia on patients' quality of life. One study compared the quality of life in patients with scarring alopecia with patients of non-scarring alopecia. No studies have compared quality of life between the different types of scarring alopecia nor different types of non-scarring alopecia. However, none have assessed the impact on the patient partner quality of life. In addition, few treatments for alopecia are covered by national health insurance in France. The main objective is to compare the impact on the quality of life in different types of alopecia. By using the average scores of the questionnaire Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for each type of alopecia.
To investigate the presence of seconday of lymphoid organs in patients who underwent allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 15 to 45 years ago. The goal aims to assess the development of seconday lymphoid organs given the fact that the absence of myeloablation these patients present a split chimerism between T lymphocytes and the other leucocytes. Thus, they may not be able to generate seconday lymphoid organs. Practically, whole body MRI is being used to visualise and quantify both mediastinal and intraabdominal lymph nodes. Delta will be compared with those obtained in healthy age-matched individuals. It is scheduled to include 15 patients and 15 controls.
Cerebral palsy is the most frequent motor deficiency in children. Among other, it can leads to spastic diplegia or hemiplegia. Walking abilities is an important skill to the families' point of view in term of independence in curent life. Improving the walking parameters has been the main objective in several studies of rehabilitation. The G-EO system is a last generation robot assisting gait training that can adjust cadence, walk lengh, ankle and hip angles and other walking parameters to movement captation. Its superiority in terms of walking abilities has been demonstrated in adults with stroke sequelae. Only one study was realized in pediatric patients with spastic diplegia with promising results. The investigators hypothesize that intensive robot-assited gait training using the G-EO system in hemiplegic children can improve their walking abilities.
Retrospective observational, multicentric study assessing the immunohistochemistry (IHC) based test IHC4 score in infiltrating early breast cancer: comparison of the score performed in local laboratory vs in a central laboratory and concordance with a molecular gold standard classifier (EndoPredict).
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of bintrafusp alfa in participants with advanced, unresectable cervical cancer with disease progression during or after platinum-containing chemotherapy.
Studies on radiation induced patients' skin lesions in interventional radiology highlighted the need for optimized and personalized patient dosimetry and adapted patient follow-up. Measurements using Gafchromic® films or thermoluminescent dosimeters have long been the only way to accurately evaluate the maximum absorbed dose to the patient skin. However as these dose measurements are tedious and expensive, they could not be systematically applicable in clinical practice. Therefore, more practical calculation methods have been developed. These software programs calculate the skin dose using dosimetric information from images DICOM header or radiation dose structured reports (RDSRs). Validation studies of these software programs are rare and when existent have many limitations. Radiation Dose Monitor (RDM from Medsquare) is a software program for archiving and monitoring of radiation dose (DACS, Dosimetry Archiving Communication System) used in routine in the investigator's hospitals. A new functionality developed in RDM allows quick estimation without in-vivo measurements of the absorbed dose to the skin of the patient. Comparing RDM calculations with in-vivo measurements will enable this software validation so that it can be used in clinical routine. Main objective: to validate RDM software for calculating patient skin dose in interventional radiology.
