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 main purpose of this trial is to investigate what happens to the trial drug in the body and to confirm that it is safe to use and effective for treating atopic dermatitis (AD) in children. The trial will last up to maximum of approximately 194 weeks, and there will be up to 59 visits. The visits will be held approximately every second week for the first 68 weeks, then the visits will be held every six weeks for the rest of the treatment period. From week 26, every second visit will be held by phone and every second visit will be held on site. The first part of the trial is called a screening period and will last between 2 and 6 weeks. After the screening period, the trial drug will be administered to the child by subcutaneous (SC) injection. The treatment period with tralokinumab is divided in 3 parts: 1.) initial treatment period for 16 weeks, 2.) open-label treatment period for 52 weeks and 3.) long-term extension treatment period for up to 106 weeks followed by a 14-week safety follow-up period. All children will use an emollient twice daily (or more) for at least 14 days prior to start of treatment and will continue this treatment throughout the trial. If medically necessary, rescue treatment for AD is allowed at the discretion of the trial doctor.
Shared Decision Making on Care Pathways and alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) : A Pilot Study. Study whose aim is to evaluate the feasibility of a study proposing a therapeutic education consultation leaning on the usual care pathway by estimating the recruitment capacity over 4 months as well as the acceptance rate of the study among patients diagnosed with breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to simplify amivantamab intravenous administration and to reduce dose times, by assessing a new formulation of amivantamab, amivantamab subcutaneous and co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase (SC-CF), for subcutaneous administration. This formulation has the potential to enhance both the patient and physician experience with amivantamab by providing easier and accelerated administration.
The occurrence of abnormal movements is a frequent reason for consultation in neurology. The etiologies are broadly separated into "primary causes", intrinsically neurological diseases (of genetic or degenerative origin), and "secondary causes". In addition to certain medications or toxic substances, brain damage can be a cause. In this register, 22% of involuntary abnormal movements are related to a stroke and 1 to 4% of strokes are complicated by abnormal movements. These are manifested by a parkinsonian syndrome or conversely by hypercinesia which can take the form of chorea or ballisms. Most hyperkinetic movements occur in the acute phase of the neurovascular event. The frequency of these abnormal movements is still uncertain and their semeiological description has been the subject of only rare publications. It seems relevant to be interested in the frequency of these neurological phenomena and has their semeiologic characteristic
To look for the factors of exposure present prior to the onset of Porto-Sinusoidal Vascular Disease (PSVD) and which can lead to the occurrence of PSVD after renal transplantation, and therefore to consider the identification of risk factors, in order to prevent or detect early signs of portal hypertention in predisposed patients and improve their prognosis.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder that is caused by germline mutations in the NF1 tumour suppressor gene, which encodes the tumour suppressor protein neurofibromin 1. Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are histologically benign nerve sheath tumours, which typically grow along large nerves and plexi. On 5 March 2020, a centralised Marketing Authorisation Application was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Marketing Authorisation in EU was granted on 17 Jun 2021. As part of the approval process, a Risk Management Plan (RMP) was developed and submitted to the EMA to summarise the safety concerns emerging from the clinical development program. The RMP included additional pharmacovigilance plans for a noninterventional Post-authorisation Safety Study (PASS) to further characterise the safety of selumetinib in paediatric patients with NF1-related PN in routine clinical practice. The planned non-interventional PASS will address gaps in knowledge identified by the RMP, including the important identified risk and some of the potential risks and missing information on long-term developmental toxicity in children, by characterising the safety profile associated with selumetinib use among paediatric patients (age d 8 to < 18 years old) with a diagnosis of NF1 with symptomatic, inoperable PN. This study is a specific obligation in the context of a conditional marketing authorisation for selumetinib (ie, Category 2 PASS). Study results will contribute to updating the safety profile of selumetinib in a relatively large population of patients with different personal characteristics across multiple health care systems and patterns of real-world clinical practice in European countries and Israel. The study will enrol 2 cohorts: 1. The Base Cohort includes all enrolled patients aged 3 to < 18 years. 2. The Nested Prospective Cohort will include the subset of Base Cohort patients aged 8 to < 18 years who have not reached Tanner Stage V on the index date.
Various studies have shown that many patients do not understand all the information provided by the study investigator and by the information sheet before entering a clinical research protocol. Many materials has been developped in previous research, trying to improve patients' understanding. Nonetheless, their effectiveness remains uncertain. The "LUMINA" project aims to measure the effectiveness of the booklet named "Comprendre les essais cliniques" with patients included or not included in clinical trials within the Clinical Neurosciences - Rheumatology pole of the CHU de Nice. The design of this study is "before/after". A questionnaire was submitted to the patients before and after reading the booklet. That method is used in order to show if there was a difference between the score obtained from the questionnaire before and after reading. This difference could reflect an improvement in patients' comprehension and, by extension, the effectiveness of the support the team developed.
The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) corresponds to the discovery of white matter (WM) abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS) by their location, size, and appearance, on the brain or spinal cord Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This imaging is performed for a reason other than for suspicion of demyelinating disease in subjects without a history of neurological symptoms and a strict routine clinical neurological examination. It was defined and named in 2009 (Okuda et al.) after publishing 3 case series (French, USA, Turkey). The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome Consortium (RISC) published a cohort of subjects with an extended follow-up after the first brain MRI of MS, with 34% presenting an event (clinical conversion) at five years, 51.2 % of these subjects showed an event at ten years. The patients who offer a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event were identified such as male sex, young age, the presence of oligoclonal bands (BOCs) in the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), the presence of infratentorial lesions and spinal cord lesions on the first MRI suggestive of RIS. The location and morphology of the lesions appear to be decisive for studying the risk of conversion. Our first objective is to prospectively collect data to identify the subjects who present a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event and the progression of the disease in these subjects. Among the objectives of this worldwide cohort is the analysis of (1) environmental factors (Vit D, EBV, tobacco…), (2) MRI biomarkers, including atrophy, central veins signs, paramagnetic rings, and DTI. (3) digital biomarkers (4) oculography (5) biological markers To summarize, this cohort will allow for analyzing features in imaging, biology and the exploration of digital and oculographic characteristics to identify predictive factors of clinical evolution of a large cohort of subjects presenting WM abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
