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.
There are relatively few data available on type II collagen disorders, and evidence is lacking on the disease course in relation to symptoms and development of complications, the level of actual disease burden over time as well as data to support identification of possible risk factors. This study aims to build a natural history data set through collection of a number of clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessments that may be specific predictors of type II collagen disorder progression and clinical outcome. Having a type II collagen disorder natural history data set can inform potential efficacy endpoints and biomarkers for future clinical trials. This natural history study will follow up to 60 individuals diagnosed with a type II collagen disorder for up to 3 years. Visits will be conducted every 3 months for the first year and then every 6 months, during which several assessments will be performed in order to learn about the natural course of the disease, including changes in clinical and functional outcomes, imaging and biofluid biomarkers. Some of the study activities include: a physical exam, height measurements, vision and breathing tests and x-ray. A blood sample will be collected once or twice each year. Most of the information collected, the tests done, and the schedule of visits in this study are the same as recommended for regular care of children with a type II collagen disorder.
A few recent observational studies show that despite the lack of clear recommendations, many individuals with myasthenia participate in exercise. However, no link has been found between exercise and the severity of myasthenia symptoms, measured by the Muscle Myasthenia Score or the Myasthenia Gravis Composite Score. This suggests that there are other factors that may limit or prevent some individuals from being active, or factors which may facilitate participation in exercise. Studies in other diseases have shown that there are internal (beliefs, motivation, etc.) and external (cost, accessibility, etc.) factors unrelated to the disease which may play a role in exercise participation. The aim of this study is to identify factors that facilitate or limit exercise in individuals with autoimmune myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenia syndrome and Lambert-Eaton syndrome.
Pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) require antibiotic treatment. Among PID, the investigators distinguish: pelvi-peritonitis and pelvic collections such as Douglas abscess and/or tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA). Recent recommendations published in December 2018 by the National College of French Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF) suggest that it is preferable to drain TOA when their size is greater than 3-4 cm. Ultrasound-guided transvaginal drainage is recommended as first-line treatment because of its ease of performance and its effectiveness. In the literature, many authors have demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of transvaginal drainage associated with antibiotics in the treatment of TOA. Since ultrasound-guided transvaginal drainage is a less invasive alternative therapeutic procedure than laparoscopy for the drainage of TOA, it would be compatible with outpatient management. This mode of management can be carried out in a dedicated outpatient or functional exploration room with the help of a nurse but without an anesthetic team present. This gesture is simple and short-lived. In addition, the antibiotics used have pharmacological properties allowing oral intake from their initiation. The investigators have proposed a new service protocol to treat TOA in this outpatient mode. The investigators therefore wish to analyze this new protocol from these three angles: 1/ the feasibility of this care, 2/ the quality of life of the patients through questionnaires given throughout the care and 3/ an evaluation of the 'efficiency.
The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the acceptability of clinical data collection using a semi-automated e-solution based on the use of text messaging among older adults undergoing chemotherapy treatment at home.
To describe change in ACR and eGFR during study follow-up, and assesss the association of baseline and change in ACR and eGFR, with progression of kidney failure and/or all-cause mortality.
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety profile of BMS-986408 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab or nivolumab and ipilimumab to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) that optimizes the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of BMS-986408 will also be determined.
The GFAOP propose a simple and reproducible staging according to clinical, biological and radiological data. Develop standardized but different therapeutic recommendations based on the availability or lack of radiation therapy in the pilot unites who will adapt these recommendations.
Displaced people, like refugees or asylum seekers, have high rate of potentially traumatic events. PTSD is one of the most common psychiatric trouble in this population. It requires specialized support and psychosocial program. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), a german psychotherapy, was developed in the 2000 to specifically treat psycho-trauma in this population. It is brief, effective on complex trauma and can be delivered by trained non-caregivers. All published randomized studies have conclued that NET is effetive, but there are still insifficient numbers to make recomendations. To our knowledge, NET has never been tested in France. In Marseille, SINDIANE is a community support and program for refugees and asylum seekers. Many workshops led by peer workers are offered to increase empowerment of beneficiaries and hel them to recover. The development of a NET workshop would make it possible to combine community support and specific and validated psychotherapy. Through this study, the investigators hypothesize that tratment of PTSD with NET in the community-based SINDIANE program decrease symptoms of PTSD.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of CORT113176 (dazucorilant) in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Alternative and complementary medicines (MAC) are commonly used by cancer patients to help them to face with anticancer treatment, reduce oncology symptoms and/or anticancer treatment adverse effects, detoxifying the body. In consistence with guidelines from the French Society for Oncology Pharmacy (SFPO), the pharmaceutical consultation includes a discussion and collection of herbs, botanical and other natural products consumed by cancer patients. This aim to prevent and manage herb-drug interaction as well as other drug-related problems (DRP). The recent French experimentation dedicated to cannabidiol for medical use could enhance interest of cancer patients in the field of MAC. However, cannabidiol have shown inhibitory effect on different cytochromes with a risk of HDI as other MAC. While the prevalence of MAC consumption is already known in some type of cancer, the consumption of CBD is less known and should be explored. Through this study we wish to know the prevalence of cannabidiol consumption in cancer patients and to establish a typical profile as well as to know the modalities of use. We also want to validate a questionnaire through a literacy scale.
