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.
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, need to be regularly interrogated and reprogrammed to ensure proper functioning. While remote monitoring allows for partial interrogation at a remote location, full interrogation and changing the CIED parameters is only possible when the patient visits a cardiologist capable of performing device programming. This can be challenging for patients and may cause unnecessary delays, particularly in settings of limited resources, enforced physical distancing, and quarantines. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of remote programming.
Spinal muscular atrophy is a hereditary motorneuron disease caused by a mutation of the SMN1 gene, which is at the origin of a progressive limb and axial motor deficiency. It concerns 1200 individuals in France, including 700 adults in 2018. The main objective of this study is to assess the quality of life of SMA patients in France. The secondary objectives are, in one hand, to compare the quality of life of SMA patients to a population of neuromuscular diseases patients. And on the other hand to evaluate the determinants of participation and the impact of participation on quality of life in adult SMA patients.
The ULYSS study is a randomized, multicenter, interventional and prospective open-label clinical trial. It aims to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of an early IMPELLA CP support on top of optimal medical therapy and culprit lesion PCI compared to optimal medical care and culprit PCI in patients with an ACS complicated by a CS. A transthoracic echography is required to exclude some non-inclusion criteria as soon as possible and before randomization. Randomization will be performed after an informed consent is signed by the patient, a family member if he is unable to consent or thanks to the emergent consent procedure if all inclusion criteria are met and there are no non-inclusion criteria. A computer-generated randomization list will be drawn-up using a permuted block design (stratified on center). Each center will have a specific list. Randomization 1:1 to one of the 2 groups In all patients, emergent PCI of the culprit lesion will be performed. - Control group: patients will receive IV inotropes associated or not with vasopressors according to the attached protocol and based on the current guidelines (annex 1) (2, 4) in addition to emergent culprit lesion PCI - Experimental group: patients will receive IMPELLA CP before PCI on top of conventional therapy based on the same protocol as the control group and emergent culprit PCI
This protocol aims to evaluate the feasibility and benefit of Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV) to improve deposition of inhaled radiolabelled aerosols in fibrotic lung regions of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Phase 1 of the protocol aims to identify the highest IPV pressure that is tolerated by individual patients. Secondary endpoints explore safety of IPV in IPF patients. Phase 2 of the protocol is a crossover randomized trial where patients will inhale 99mTc-labelled DiethyleneTriamine PentaAcetate (DTPA) aerosols with or without IPV. Aerosol deposition in HRCT-defined fibrotic regions of interest (ROI) is described by Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).
SWALL EHPAD is a multicenter, prospective study on the use and Acceptability Study of Swallis DSA™ Medical Device for Distanced Swallowing Assessment for Older Adults In Nursing Home
The aim of the study is to validate a global and simple score : IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) score for the evaluation of the extent and severity of the disease in patients with bullous pemphigoid
The objective of this study was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of two alveolar recruitment maneuver strategies in critical care patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of a low versus moderate versus high energy turnover on energy intake, appetite and food reward, in adolescents with obesity. 18 adolescents with obesity will then complete three experimental sessions in a randomized order: low, high and moderate Energy turnover.
The purpose of the study is to test whether children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more susceptible to false memory production using a DRM paradigm. The number of "critical decoy production" errors will be analyzed and compared to the calibration of the test.
The increase in the survival of cancer patients and the incidence of cancers leads to a rapid increase in the number of people living after a diagnosis of cancer. Occupation during chemotherapy treatment time has been identified as an excellent way to support cancer patients. Studies show that distraction interventions increase tolerance to treatment, by decreasing the importance given to negative stimuli associated with chemotherapy and increasing pleasurable emotions. In this context, virtual reality (VR) is a promising intervention for patients receiving chemotherapy. VR is considered a powerful painkiller, even more effective than other distractors, such as movies or video games for example. Several studies have shown short-term beneficial effects of integrating VR in patients undergoing chemotherapy. This intervention would help patients better adhere to and tolerate treatment. Considering that positive emotions could be one of the underlying processes necessary for the effectiveness of VR, it would be possible to support the cancer patient towards better overall well-being thanks to these new technologies. Investigators can therefore ask themselves the question of the impact that VR used during chemotherapy can have on the adaptation of patients to the disease and its treatments as well as on their psychological distress in the medium and long term.
