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 overall objective of this study is to better understand the relationship between the body and its environment, including cognitive performance, following repeated changes in gravity, including microgravity (0G) and modified gravity (i.e., hypergravity (1.8G) and modified gravity (Martian gravity)
The main objectives of the trial are to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or moderate / severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Other objectives are to determine pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of trimodulin.
The metastatic colo-rectal cancer (especially with hepatic metastatic lesions, but also peritoneal or pulmonary lesions) is a major public health issue, because of its frequency, the heavy treatments and the cost of new therapeutic molecules involved, in particular targeted therapies that can result in specific adverse events. The first-line treatment often consists of a polychemotherapy, which can be associated to a targeted therapy. According to the therapeutic response, patient condition and disease extent, some patients may benefit from prognosis-changing treatments such as surgery of metastases. However, the best morphological response is most of time evidenced after only 6 or 8 cycles of treatment, corresponding to 3 to 4 months. Therapeutic evaluation with FDG PET/CT is validated in several neoplasia (lymphoma, breast cancer). Data on FDG PET evaluation of colic cancer chemotherapy are currently insufficient to propose its use in the usual clinical setting. We thus are going to study the performance of early FDG PET therapeutic evaluation to predict response to first-line chemotherapy in patients with potentially resectable metastases. If early PET diagnostic performances prove satisfying, this approach could become of paramount importance to tailor therapeutic strategy for these patients, with the possibility of early modification of chemotherapy protocol, which is now possible thanks to the existence of therapeutic alternatives (chemotherapy intensification, replacement of oxaliptaine by irinotecan or conversely, replacement of an anti-EGFR by an anti-angiogenic or conversely).
Infective endocarditis is a complex infection that can be life-threatening. These infections also cause anatomical lesions that can be severe. Their management is complex and involves several disciplines: cardiology, bacteriologists, infectious diseases specialists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, cardiac surgeons, neurologists, pharmacologists, etc. The incidence of Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis is increasing due to the aging of the population and the disappearance of rheumatic fever. The adequate management of these infections is complex and relies on the prolonged administration of high-dose antibiotics, classically the combination of amoxicillin and ceftriaxone. In the context of Streptococcal endocarditis, the impact of increasing the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of amoxicillin on patient mortality has been demonstrated but no study has yet examined the impact of increasing the MIC of amoxicillin on the outcome of patients treated for Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis.
The care pathway for breast cancer is complex, punctuated by consultations, complementary examinations and treatments. Patients benefit from close medical and paramedical support. At the end of the treatment, the post-cancer phase begins and the surveillance begins. The National Cancer Institute's (INCa) ten-year cancer control strategy for 2021-2030 defines in its second axis the objective of limiting the after-effects and improving the quality of life of cancer patients. Indeed, ensuring rapid access to functional rehabilitation and post-treatment reconstruction, and setting up personalized and graduated follow-up between the city and the hospital, are crucial. Better information for patients on the post-cancer period is a way for them to acquire greater autonomy, to enable them to take an active role in it and to approach it with greater serenity. The Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group (GHPSJ) has therefore created an outpatient medical unit (UMAb) dedicated to post-cancer treatment in July 2021. It is offered to all patients who have had localized breast cancer and have received curative treatment. Each patient, 3-4 months after the end of treatment (surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy), will benefit from a half-day session including 3 consultations: medical, nursing and physiotherapy. The medical consultation allows for additional information if there are any questions about the care received, a clinical examination, reassessment of the tolerance of adjuvant hormone therapy if it is indicated, and delivery of the personalized post-cancer program (PPAC). The nursing consultation is conducted by a person certified in therapeutic patient education. Numerous items are discussed, with the aim of identifying personal difficulties (financial, family or work-related, for example) that may hinder post-cancer rehabilitation, detecting specific support care needs and promoting post-cancer health (encouraging normal weight, smoking cessation, recommended nutritional factors and physical activity). Finally, the physical therapy consultation consists of a joint, muscle and scar assessment to promote normal functionality and the implementation of recommended physical activity. Imaging examinations (cardiac ultrasound and/or mammography/ultrasound and/or bone densitometry) may be associated with the consultation. As part of investigator's quality and continuous improvement approach, investigators would like to collect the opinions of patients who have benefited from the UMAb post breast cancer since its creation.
There are already recently published data on the tolerability and efficacy of the combination of ketamine and/or esketamine with MAOIs. However, these reports are few and far between, and to our knowledge, there are no data involving intranasal esketamine. Given the numerous interactions between MAOIs and other antidepressants, and the impossibility of combination, this pharmacological class is neglected. This is despite the fact that MAOIs are the only truly tri-aminergic drugs, that they have unparalleled efficacy in certain forms of resistant apathetic depression, and that new, more dietary permissive forms have appeared on the market. The arrival of antidepressants that can be combined with MAOIs, such as ketamine and esketamine, changes the situation and could offer a new treatment opportunity to many patients in a therapeutic impasse. For these opportunities to become a reality, sharing the clinical experience gained by specialized centers is essential.
The investigators wish to study the obstetrical data of pregnant women who had an ultrasound estimation of fetal weight and who delivered at the University Hospital of Strasbourg over the last 20 years. These retrospectively collected data are a valuable source of scientific information since they are "real life data", currently of growing interest in the scientific community, and have a large volume and quality due to the number of years included and the variety of information collected in the computerized media records. From this study, the investigators hope not only to better understand the consequences of ultrasound screening for fetal growth, but also to improve its accuracy and to develop useful models in obstetrical decision making in order to decrease maternal and neonatal morbidity.
Attentional disorders have been reported in neuropsychological studies evaluating patients suffering from generalized idiopathic epilepsy, but the data are disparate (in terms of test protocol). We aim to describe attentional and executive function disorder in IGE thanks to the Epitrack scale, validated in this specific population. Our secondary objective is to study the dynamic of cortical activity during an attentional task (the ANT), in order to describe the alteration of cortical networks in epileptic patients presenting with attentional disturbance.

Hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic/advanced breast cancer (mBC) is a major public health issue. During the last decades, a therapeutic challenge was to overcome the tumor's resistance to endocrine therapy (ET). Thanks to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this resistance, effective new treatments have been developed, such as Kisqali® (ribociclib), a molecularly targeted therapy. This treatment blocks the growth and division of cancer cells by blocking proteins called CDK4/6 located inside the cell. This treatment, taken in combination with ET, blocks the harmful effect of hormones (estrogen) on cancer cell proliferation, and represent the standard first-line treatment of patients with HR+/HER2- mBC. But, as with any treatment, it is expected that some patients will have a good response and their disease will be stabilized or even in remission, while other patients will not benefit from treatment and will relapse. In order to make progress, it is necessary to identify pre-therapeutic markers predictive of response to this treatment and the molecular mechanisms of this resistance set up by the tumor before or under the effect of the treatment. The Trans-RosaLEE study aims to fill this gap by providing high-throughput molecular profiling (DNA and RNA) of a collection of tumor and blood samples from patients with RH+/HER2- mBC scheduled to start treatment with Kisqali® + ET. Samples will be collected just prior to initiation of therapy (pre-therapy) and just after discontinuation of therapy in the event of disease progression (post-therapy). The main objectives of the TransRosaLEE study are : - to determine if Kisqali® + ET treatment causes changes in the DNA and/or RNA genes of tumor; - to identify whether there is a molecular signature that would predict clinical outcome of patients treated with Kisqali® + ET (tumor response, survival); - to identify alterations in tumor's genes that could be targeted by a specific treatment and that would allow, in case of progression of the disease, to set up a new adapted treatment. The TransRosaLEE study is a collaborative study between the Paoli-Calmettes Institute (France, Marseille) and the pharmaceutical group Novartis. It will take place in up to 90 healthcare institutions in France, and 241 patients will be enrolled. It is closely linked to the non-interventional study RosaLEE promoted by Novartis.
