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.
Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a very common domestic accident in children. The prevention of the recurrence by securing child's environment is mandatory. The study will study whether the advices of follow-up at home and recurrence prophylaxis were given to parents after a foreign ingestion by their child.
Hereditary hyperekplexia is a rare neuronal disorder, caused by genetic defects leading to dysfunction of glycinergic neurotransmission. The clinical presentation is characterized by stiffness and exaggerated startle responses to unexpected stimuli, that appear shortly after birth. The generalised stiffness can lead to apnea and sudden infant death syndrome. Several genes are known to be associated with hereditary hyperekplexia. The most frequent are Glycine Receptor Alpha 1 (GLRA1), Glycine Receptor Beta (GLRB) and Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 5 (SLC6A5). They encode for the postsynaptic glycine receptor (GLRA1, GLRB) and the presynaptic glycine transport (SLC6A5). Genetic mutations in these genes lead to dysfunction in the glycinergic inhibitory neurotransmission. The neurodevelopment was initially described as normal, or as delayed due to the motor difficulties. Global development delay and intellectual disability are reported as well, in the most recent studies. Nevertheless, the degree of severity of the learning difficulties and the adaptive faculties of the patients is not specified. Similarly, the efficacy of clonazepam in hyperekplexia is well known, but the evolution of dosage over time and the frequency of complete withdrawal have never been studied. The primary endpoint of this study is to describe adaptive skills using a standardized questionnaire, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS2). Secondary endpoints are: - Neurodevelopmental course study - Description of the evolution of the clinical manifestations over the years - Evaluation of the efficacity of the treatment CLONAZEPAM, initially and over time, and evolution of the dosage - Comparison of clinical and therapeutical characteristics according to the genotype
A Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a novel, orally available, selective, and potent small molecule inhibitor of the histone lysine methyl transferase MMSET (also known as NSD2/WHSC1) to prevent the dimethylation of H3K36 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially when associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) is at high risk to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and the specific impact of T2D+MS in cardiac function impairment is usually known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy" (DC). Cardiac remodelling (ie hypertrophy) and subtle myocardial dysfunction are highly prevalent in T2D+MS but not specific enough to predict further HFpEF or HFmrEF. Also, current biomarkers can identify but do not predict HFpEF or HFmrEF in T2D patients; Furthermore, specific biomarkers are needed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from a peripheral blood sample can provide insights from calcic and inflammatory pathways, and may identify more specific molecular signatures shared between T2D+MS and HFpEF.
Interventional clinical study to obtain performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for percutaneous procedures in the lung.
The aim of this protocol is to perform a first randomized controlled trial evaluating how Tezepelumab affects the bronchial morphology (and computed tomographic variables in general) of asthmatic patients. In parallel, the investigators also hope to reproduce clinical benefits and perform a transcriptomic study that will juxtapose changes in genetic expression with changes in bronchial morphology and inflammatory signatures. The general hypothesis is that tezepelumab treatment is capable of at least partially reversing bronchial remodelling as detected on computed-tomographic (CT) scans. The investigators also expect such reversal to occur within a unique physiological repair environment that will be reflected by transcriptomic profiles
Hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genetic diseases, characterized by fragility of the skin and mucous membranes, which results in the appearance of mucocutaneous bullae and erosions during minimal trauma. Pruritus is a neuropathic pain mainly related to activation of unmyelinated cutaneous C nerve fibers and is very common in patients with HEB. It is the cause of trophic disorders, aggravation of certain wounds, appearance of new bubbles. In addition, this chronic pruritus can also have a major psychological impact on the patient and his family. However, these therapies used in the pruritus of patients with HEB have often proven to be ineffective. In order to improve the quality of life of children and their families, research into new therapies to limit this chronic pruritus is necessary. Among phytocannabinoids, CANNABIDIOL (CBD) should be clearly distinguished from Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Indeed, CBD is an "inverse" agonist of the CB2 receptor, it acts by reducing the effect of this receptor, while THC is an agonist of the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Thus, CBD has antipsychotic, anxiolytic, antiemetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-epileptic effects, unlike THC which has psychotic, relaxation effects, impairs cognitive function and memory. Cannabinoids are involved in the physiopathology in pruritus at the level of the peripheral nervous system via the CB1 and TRPV1 receptors, and also at the level of the central nervous system thanks to the CB1 and CB2 receptors. In addition, inflammation plays an important role in the physiopathology of pruritus and this is reduced via the activation of CB2 receptors, expressed in immune cells. Various studies with promising results have examined the effect of cannabinoids in pruritus. No serious adverse effects have been reported and the rare adverse effects that have been observed are reversible upon discontinuation of treatment. The research project seeks to estimate the efficacy of CANNABIDIOL in the pruritus of 10 children with severe hereditary epidermolysis bullosa. Pruritus is assessed before the start of treatment, then after one month of taking oral treatment, three times a day. The effectiveness of taking the treatment will also be assessed on pain, on the impact on sleep and on overall quality of life. The tolerance of CANNABIDIOL will be well monitored. The systemic passage of CANNABIDIOL is measured during a routine blood test 1 month after treatment.
Moving into an institution is a new stage in the life of the patient but also of the caregiver. The caregiver is overwhelmed by various feelings such as loss of control, powerlessness, guilt, sadness, the feeling of loneliness at home but also relief. This experience can be characterized by great anxiety and the feeling of being misunderstood by the family and professional environment. This emotional state is not without consequences for the caregiver/resident and caregiver/care team relationship. Several factors have been identified that may be at the origin of these states. A new training, information and support program has been created to present these different factors to caregivers and to allow them to address them with professionals in a group setting.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ELVN-002 in people with cancers that have an abnormal HER2 gene. The main question the trial aims to answer is if ELVN-002 is safe and tolerable at different doses. A second main question is to evaluate the concentration of ELVN-002 in the blood at different doses and to see how this correlates with safety and see how the concentration of drug changes over time. The third main question is to see if ELVN-002 works to shrink cancers that have HER2 genetic abnormalities, particularly non-small cell lung cancer.
Ejaculatory dysfunctions (ED) are an important cause of postoperative dissatisfaction, which lead to a decrease in the intensity of orgasms in 50% of patients. ED is a cause for concern for almost a third of patients who need surgery. Surgical techniques have been developed to limit the occurrence of postoperative ED, but their results remain heterogeneous. There are very few studies on the biomechanical anatomy of ejaculation. Ejaculation is a complex phenomenon involving different structures and in particular the Veru Montanum. This is the key element in the emission of ejaculate within the prostatic urethra. In addition, there is a structure located in the resection zone of the prostate adenoma. It has therefore been suggested that its resection was a primary source of ED. A single observational study carried out in by Gil Vernet et al in 1994 evaluated on a single healthy 18-year-old volunteer the ejaculatory mechanism of expulsion using an endorectal probe recording the movements of the prostate, the bladder neck and of the proximal urethra during ejaculation. A contemporary study of the biomechanics of the ejaculatory expulsion phase could confirm and improve understanding of the involvement of anatomical structures. The results of our study aim to adapt surgical techniques aimed at limiting the risk of postoperative ED.
