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 aim of the study is to create a specific test to assess the global time required to go to the toilet and to perform micturition, at the moment the patient decides to urinate in multiple sclerosis population, and to assess its reliability.
Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of pediatric intensive care unit admission in infants. Seizures during bronchiolitis may be a neurological complication of respiratory viruses but also of the treatments. The investigating team's hypothesis is that the incidence of seizures is not so so uncommon in infants hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit for severe bronchiolitis.
Dupilumab is a monoclonal anti-IL-4/13Rα antibody developed for severe asthma (SA). In France, mepolizumab was commercialized in February 2018. Before this date, many SA patients had reached a therapeutic dead end, with uncontrolled disease despite maximal available treatment. Upon the request of lung specialists involved in SA, French health authorities approved an early access program (temporary Use Authorization) allowing early access to dupilumab (before EMA's decision) from September 2017 to January 2018, for SA patients demonstrating unacceptable steroids side effects and/or life-threatening exacerbations, irrespective of their T2 status.The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the characteristics of SA patients included in the early access program and to assess changes in asthma control after a 12 months treatment.
Spasticity is commonly observed in neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and spinal cord injury. "Peripheral" spasticity, concerning in particular the striated muscles of the limbs is nowadays well known and studied with clinical scales (Ashworth, Taridieu...) or even electrophysiological methods (H-reflex, T-reflex...). However, this spasticity can also affect the perineal muscles and more generally the pelvic muscles. However, there is to date no validated and standardized method for evaluating this pelvi-perineal spasticity. The aim of the study will be to assess the spinal motoneurons excitability by using the stimulus-response curves of the bulbocavernosus reflex.
The aim of this data base is to know exactly the future of a "vulnerable newborns" cared in Pontoise Hospital (In the neonatology service) and compare the information with the national data of preterm birth.
The study will be conducted in 2 phases (A and B) using two different groups of patients in order to prove that an early prescription of radiography using the Ottawa Ankle Rules by a nurse practitioner could shorten length of stay of a patient suffering from ankle trauma at the Hospital Center of Saint-Brieuc.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the spread of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) during surgery in endometrial cancer. Although this cancer is often discovered at early stage, the risk of recurrence is estimated at 6 to 21%, according to grade. Early stage tumor is accessible for curative surgical treatment by laparoscopy but this kind of surgery may induce CTCs spread, and could be an explanation of this recurrence. Through this study, concordance between two blood punction sites, peripheral vein and ovarian vein, will be evaluated to detect these cells during surgery.
The aim of this study is to determine if virologically suppressed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Type 1 infected adults on a current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) (including 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NRTIs] plus a third agent) remain suppressed upon switching to dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC). The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of switching to DTG/3TC FDC once daily compared to continuation of CAR over 48 weeks in virologically suppressed adults living with HIV-1. The study will also evaluate information regarding the safety and health related quality of life. The study will include Screening Phase (up to 28 days), a Randomization Phase (up to Week 52) and a Continuation Phase (post Week 52). The Continuation Phase is not applicable for participants in Sweden and Denmark. Approximately 490 participants will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive DTG/3TC FDC once daily for up to 52 weeks or continue their CAR for 52 weeks. Participants in the DTG/3TC FDC arm who successfully complete up to 52 weeks of treatment will have the opportunity to continue receiving DTG/3TC FDC once daily in Continuation Phase.
Ventilation management in paediatric anaesthesia remains difficult because of the wide range of age and weight, and therefore practices are heterogeneous. In adults, protective ventilation during anesthesia is now a standard of care but in children there is no level of evidence to recommend it. The aim of the study was to describe current practice and the factors associated with the use of high tidal volume during anaesthesia in children in France.
Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare and serious disease that is in need of effective, and hopefully even curative, therapies. Afflicted patients suffer from severe paralyzing crises, often excruciatingly painful muscle spasms, severe often life threatening epileptic seizures, and frequently severe developmental and psychiatric/psychological disabilities. Based on the repeated input from family organizations and from professionals, as expressed at the London 2016 ATP1A3 in Disease meeting, there are urgent clinical research needs for AHC that are essential to better understand the disease, evaluate its treatment options and plan for future controlled clinical trials. The goal of the study is to evaluate different parameters involved in the evolution of the AHC. The investigating team's hypothesis is that the evolution is variable so it aims to evaluate the factors which could contribute to the progression of the disease.
