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.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tobemstomig alone or in combination with tiragolumab compared with atezolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who are ineligible to receive a platinum containing chemotherapy.
The aim of the study is to retrospectively analyze pain and anxiety assessment data previously collected in routine care in women who had an abortion under local anesthesia in order to identify the predictive factors of pain and anxiety, as well as to compare the results with previously published data. The participants are women who underwent abortion under local anesthesia in the gynecology department of the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital between May and October 2021.
This is a single center, hybrid retrospective and prospective (ambispective) study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Facet Fixation implant. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the Facet Fixation implant compared with pedicle screw fixation to determine successful fusion in radiographic assessment at more than two years. Fusion is mainly defined as any sign of bony fusion between the facet joints or transverse processes when viewing the postoperative CT-scan at over 2 years.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease of the nervous system that affects about 1 in 7,0001.2 births and results in very high mortality for patients with the disease. There are about 120 new cases in France each year and an estimated total of 2500 patients. It is the leading cause of genetic mortality in children in France. Until 2017, no etiological treatment was available. Currently, three treatments have been approved and have authorizations in France. The current clinical developments in SMA show the importance of an early treatment for patients. 3. The identification of pre-symptomatic patients is therefore essential to improve the effectiveness of treatments on an individual level and to avoid any loss of chance, as well as to reduce the societal cost of disability for patients treated in post-symptomatic. Several countries in Europe and around the world have implemented regional pilot screening programs for the disease. The screening test is based on a molecular genetic analysis that has been performed for many years, and which is highly reliable; there is currently no biochemical marker that can be used. The objective of our project is to demonstrate the feasibility of neonatal screening for spinal amyotrophy in two French regions before being able to propose to extend it to the whole of France. The management of all screened patients will be decided outside the pilot study, by the existing national multidisciplinary consultation meeting, according to the best available standards of care and will be based on the national network of neuromuscular disease reference centers The objective of the project is not the evaluation of the efficacy of treatments or neonatal screening: these objectives are being studied by existing or otherwise ongoing studies around the world. This project has been set up to be in line with the existing structures in France that are responsible for neonatal screening (via the regional neonatal screening centers (CRDN) and the regional perinatal networks) and for the management of rare diseases (via the neuromuscular disease reference centers and their FILNEMUS network). This project is performed in collaboration with AFM Telethon, Directorate of Health Care Supply, Regional Health Agency (ARS), FILNEMUS network, Novartis Gene Therapies, Roche Pharma AG,Biogen. Investigator wish, as far as possible, to bring this study closer to real life and to be able to generate as much information as possible that can be used directly to prefigure the potential generalization of this screening strategy to the entire national territory.
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare complications of cancer occurring in 0.01% of cases. Their clinical, biological and radiological presentation is heterogeneous and may constitute a diagnostic challenge. Anti-Ma2 PNS are rare diseases with a guarded prognosis. They are most often associated with a seminoma-like testicular tumor but can also be associated with lung cancer. Classically, they present as limbic, diencephalic and/or brainstem encephalitis. Anti-Ma2 antibodies target intracellular receptors and are characteristic of a particular form of encephalitis. Atypical manifestations including narcolepsy-cataplexy, weight gain, sexual dysfunction and motor neuron syndrome have been described and explain the difficulty in diagnosing anti-Ma2 associated PNS. It seems interesting to better characterize the phenotypes of Ma2 patients in order to optimize the diagnosis and follow-up.
Diabetic retinopathy is a common condition of diabetes and can lead to blindness, making it one of the most feared complications of diabetes. Recently, it has been proven that the parameters measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Angiography: the vascular density of the macular retinal capillary plexi and the foveolar avascular zone, can be modified after a high-intensity sports training program in healthy subjects. the team wants to study the evolution of the macular, in type 2 diabetic subjects, before and after a stay in a care structure dedicated to the multidisciplinary and integrative management (nutrition, physical activity, therapeutic education) of a duration of 3 weeks.
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of treatment with ravulizumab intravenous infusion in pediatric participants with gMG.
This trial is a prospective, monocentric, non-therapeutic, interventional cohort study aiming to decipher the immune TME through standard neoadjuvant CT in resectable G/GEJ adenocarcinomas. This study will also longitudinally monitor MRD during neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy.
Respiratory failure is the most frequent organ failure and cause for admission in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) . It is a severe complication with an ICU mortality ranged from 31% to 33%. Symptomatic treatment of hypoxemic respiratory failure is a controversial topic with different options: 1) standard oxygen therapy, 2) high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) and 3) non-invasive ventilation (NIV). The aim of the study is to compare HFNC versus NIV ventilation using CT scan. The hypothesis of this study is that in hypoxemic critically ill patients, the increase of lung volumes with NIV would be significantly higher than the increase of lung volumes with HFNC.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke or systemic embolism (blood clots travelling through the blood stream to plug another vessel). Atrial fibrillation is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. It can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart which can travel through the blood stream to plug another vessel, and like this lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from atrial fibrillation can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs) including apixaban. OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. 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 with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data about how well asundexian works to prevent stroke and systemic embolism and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with atrial fibrillation and at high risk for stroke. To see how well the study treatment asundexian works researchers compare: - how long asundexian works well and - how long apixaban works well after the start of the treatment. Working well means that the treatments can prevent the following from happening: - stroke and/or - systemic embolism. The study will keep collecting data until a certain number of strokes or embolisms happen in the study. To see how safe asundexian is, the researchers will compare how often major bleedings occur after taking the study treatments asundexian and apixaban, respectively. Major bleedings are bleedings that have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, A and B. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take the study treatment asundexian by mouth once a day or apixaban by mouth twice a day for approximately 9 - 33 months. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 - 34 months. There will be visits to the study site every 3 to 6 months and up to 7 phone calls. Those participants who do not want or are unable to have visits to the study site may join the study remotely in selected locations. The location name contains the abbreviation - DCT in such cases. During the study, the study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do pregnancy tests - ask the participants questions about their quality of life - 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.
