SURVEILLE-HPV - A new post therapeutic surveillance strategy for HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer based on HPV Circulating DNA measures. HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer patients have a much better prognosis that their HPV-negative counterparts. Despite this, Post Treatment Surveillance (PTS) strategy does not take into account HPV status. HPV Circulating DNA (HPV Ct DNA) has emerged as a promising tool to assess the risk of cancer recurrence following treatment. We assume that this biomarker could be helpful to guide PTS. The number of systematic PTS visits could be significantly reduced in patients with undetectable HPV Ct DNA whereas a closer clinical and radiological follow up could be performed in case of detectable HPV Ct DNA. If confirmed, this new strategy could have several benefits including: - reduction of PTS visits for most HPV-positive patients which implies a potential cost decrease and - Identification of relapse at early stages (before the occurrence of symptoms)
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the Wake after sleep onset (WASO), in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.
The facial palsy is a frequent disease with a lot of etiologies. It has variable severities with sometimes heavy functional repercussions and different recovery potentials. The proposed treatments are based on surgery, physiotherapy and botulinum toxin injections. However, when recovery is incomplete, acceptance is more difficult, with an impacted quality of life. Thanks to Motion Capture and Electromyography, a quantification of the facial mimicry is now possible with a great precision. In addition with the quantification of the facial mimicry, eye-tracking, wich is widely used in the marketing field, but it also finds medical applications including head and neck lesions and facial palsy in particular, will be used to evaluate the visio of the patients on their pathology in function of the movement quantification measured with MoCap and Electromyography. The aim of this research is to measure in a combined way the action potentials by sEMG and the amplitudes of displacement of the markers in motion capture, for movements determined in a population of patients presenting a facial pathology, in order to compare them with reference values obtained in healthy subjects. In a second step, the aim will be to study if there is a link between the way the patient looks at his pathology and the results of his management (treatment, rehabilitation) which will be quantitatively evaluated thanks to MoCap and sEMG.
After a stroke, 80% of patients continue to have difficulty using their paretic upper limb in activities of daily living (ADL) despite post-stroke rehabilitation practices that aim to promote the use of the paretic upper limb. It is known that functional recovery depends on actual use (Use it or Loose it), but one-time measurements in the clinic do not allow quantification of the actual use of the paretic upper limb in daily life (in the person's living environment). The investigators hypothesize the feasibility of quantifying functional use of the paretic upper limb by actimetry in clinical routine.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of treatment with olpasiran, to placebo, on the risk for coronary heart disease death (CHD death), myocardial infarction, or urgent coronary revascularization in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and elevated Lipoprotein(a).
The main objective of the study will be to assess the performance of the Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) diagnostics of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae compared to reference techniques.
This is an international, multicenter and randomized open-label phase III study designed to demonstrate, in patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer, whether para-aortic lymphadenectomy followed by tailored chemoradiation is associated with increased disease-free survival compared to patients staged with FDG-PET/CT only followed by chemoradiation. The planned sample size is 510; including 200 patients in France. In this trial, patients will be assigned in one of the two following treatments arms: - Arm A (control arm): Standard chemo-radiotherapy and brachytherapy according to EMBRACE II and ESGO/ESTRO recommendations. - Arm B (experimental arm): Pretherapeutic para-aortic lymphadenectomy followed by tailored chemo-radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Each patient will be followed up for 5 years. A cost-utility study will be performed in patients included in France. Other countries could be involved in this specific study. It will assess the incremental cost-utility ratio (cost per QALY gained) of para-aortic lymphadenectomy followed by tailored chemo-radiation in patients with positive PALN compared to patients staged with PET/CT only followed by chemo-radiation. This study also has ancillary objectives: - Biologic: To study T cell exhaustion, immune changes during chemoradiation, HPV ctDNA dynamic evolution, and the par-aortic lymph node as a premetastatic niche. - Radiomics: To study the contribution of radiomics and FDG-PET/CT metabolic parameters to predict para-aortic lymph node involvement and clinical outcome. - Senti-PAROLA: To evaluate the accuracy (Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value) of the para-aortic sentinel lymph node (SPA) for PALN staging, and to evaluate the prognostic value of low volume metastasis of SPA.
Cystic fibrosis is a multi-organ disease. It most often results from a genetic mutation, the delta F508 mutation, which prevents the expression of the CFTR 'régulateur de conductance transmembranaire de la fibrose kystique) protein. If the poor prognosis of the disease is correlated to the pulmonary damage, we observe, at the naso-sinus level, a significant functional impact, with chronic rhino-sinusal damage that can alter the quality of life of patients. In addition to this functional impact, some studies suggest that these chronic naso-sinus attacks are involved in the creation of a bacterial reservoir that is secondarily responsible for pulmonary colonization and therefore partly responsible for the poor prognosis of the disease. The clinical and paraclinical examinations can be used to determine the extent of these disorders. Their functional impact can be assessed using quality of life questionnaires such as the SN-5 scale. Treatment with CFTR modulators in patients with mutations compatible with the treatment seems to transform their vital prognosis. The scientific rationale of this treatment consists in restoring the activity of the CFTR protein, allowing the recovery of the hydro-electrolytic balance of the mucous secretions, and thus reducing the viscosity of the biological fluids. The various studies carried out all prove a dramatic improvement in pulmonary parameters under treatment, with very limited toxicity. A marketing authorization for this treatment has been issued on the European market for patients over 18 years of age in 2020, for children over 12 years of age in 2021, and will soon be issued for children aged between 6 and 11 years. Since the pathophysiology of pulmonary and nasosinus involvement are similar, and since this treatment will be marketed for children between 6 and 11 years of age, we expect an improvement in rhino-sinus symptomatology. To date, clinical studies have focused primarily on pulmonary outcomes. There are only few publications dealing with the evolution of nasosinus symptomatology under treatment, and none concerning the pediatric population. The aim of our study is to evaluate the evolution of naso-sinusal symptomatology under treatment with CFTR modulators in children aged 6 to 11 years. This will allow us to confirm or deny the interest of these treatments in the extra-pulmonary manifestations of the disease.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal myeloid neoplasm where abnormal proliferation and impaired differentiation of hematopoietic stem and myeloid progenitor cells impedes normal hematopoiesis. Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is a broadly available, well tolerated anti-inflammatory medicine approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Intact SSZ, but not its metabolites 5-aminosalicylic acid and sulfapyridine, competitively inhibits xCT.21 SSZ is thus an ideal candidate for drug repurposing in AML.The purpose of this phase I study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of such strategy, provide preliminary signals of efficacy, and identify potential biomarkers
The purpose of this study is to compare CT perfusion parameters to RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST assessment for advanced HCC treated by systemic immunotherapy, and to evaluate perfusion parameters as predictive factors of response on baseline and on early follow-up
