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 study will evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, best response and duration of treatment in patients with advanced ALK- and ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer who received lorlatinib as part of the French expanded access program.
Thyroid and parathyroid surgery concerns around 50 000 patients a year in France. One of its main complications is paralysis of vocal cords, and the consequences can be serious. In this study, the main gold is to evaluate diagnostic performances of ultrasound for an early diagnosis (as soon as awakening of the patient) of vocal cords paralysis in the post-operative period in order to prevent at best complications.
Elderly is often associated with social, physiological and psychic changes. However, no study has examined accidental poisoning-induced changes. The objective of the study is to identify and analyze the various causes of potentially toxic accidental exposure of the elderly to determine preventable causes and propose prevention strategies.
This observational study will collect data on the use of the drug Xydalba® in daily clinical practice in France. Such observational studies are also referred to as registries. The sponsor of the study is Correvio International Sárl, based in Switzerland. Xydalba® contains the active substance dalbavancin, a remedy for a certain type of bacterial pathogens (so-called "gram positive bacteria") which cause the disease. Active ingredients against bacteria are also called antibiotics. Correvio wants to know which patients received the drug and how the disease went. The treatment places where you got Xydalba, ie clinic, intensive care unit or elsewhere should be recorded. In addition, it is important in this type of medication to track whether the pathogens are changing in any way. Any safety-relevant events (such as side effects) that have occurred during treatment should be investigated by the sponsor and submitted to the competent European authorities.
During laparoscopy, trocars are essential: they allow the passage of instruments through the wall. In gynecology, with exception, trocars 5mm (used for the passage of endo-scissors and forceps) and 10 to 12mm are used (especially for optics). Trocars are responsible for complications, such as vascular wounds, digestive wounds, pain, infections or postoperative hernias, or aesthetic sequelae, and should be chosen with caution: most complications of laparoscopy are essentially due to their placement, and the complications at the introduction of the first trocar are the most frequent. The MiniLap® system developed by Teleflex does not require trocars in the case of a single forceps, or a single 5mm trocar with the necessary forceps change (this is the Percuvance® system). The aim of the latter is to make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive, thanks to a reduction in the number of trocars used (in many cases, elimination of two trocars), smaller incisions (percutaneous use of instruments, with a diameter of 2,4mm) thus reducing the complications
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of automated sleep analysis by the Dreem dry-EEG headband and deep learning algorithm in comparison to the consensus of 5 sleep technologists' manual scoring of a gold-standard clinical polysomnogram (PSG) record in healthy adult volunteers during an overnight clinic-based sleep study.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter, exploratory Phase 2 study including participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), investigating GLPG1205 in addition to the local standard of care (defined as receiving nintedanib, pirfenidone, or neither nintedanib nor pirfenidone).
The aim is to evaluate the performance of Cardioskin and Neuronaute, two connected medical devices CE-marked, manufactured by Bioserenity. It's an open monocentric comparative clinical study, where subjects will test the Cardioskin device and/or the Neuronaute device.
Arterio-venous leg ulcers are real problems when it comes to public health because it has a major cost and leads to social and professional handicap. The management of leg ulcers is not clear and can be venous compression or surgery. The aim of the study is to evaluate the variation of the transcutaneous oxygen with compression. The second aim is to see how tolerate is the compression and the quality of life.
Emergency departments (EDs) are a crucial element of health care systems as they constitute the interface between hospital and communities. The goals of the ED are to make an initial diagnosis and deliver urgent and critical care 24 hours per day and 365 days a year. Also, many Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) are not identified by emergency physicians. ADEs are injuries resulting from a drug related medical intervention. Their detection, documentation and reporting are essential for adequate medical care and knowledge of risk/benefit profiles of medication throughout their lifecycle. However, a number of studies indicate that in clinical practice the under-reporting of ADEs is a pervasive and widespread problem. The main reasons for under-reporting were difficulty in determining the cause of the ADE, lack of time, poor integration of ADE-reporting systems and uncertainty about reporting procedures. Successful treatment of ADEs depends on the ability of physicians to attribute ADEs to a medication. Some studies have reported that not only pharmacists but also pharmacy student were one of the best health care providers to establish medication history and detected ADEs. It has also been shown that a clinical pharmacist, within the emergency medical team, can improve the detection of ADE through drug expertise and reliable drug history. This approach has been adopted at Montpellier University Hospital since November 2011. During the initial diagnosis of the ADE, the revision of a drug treatment at risk cannot be carried out in emergency department by the emergency physician. Indeed, the latter intervenes punctually but he is not the patient's referring doctor. Guidance and follow-up of the patient throughout the care journey is the responsibility of the referring physician, sometimes accompanied by the pharmacist. It is therefore very important that a relevant information detected at the hospital can be passed on to the referring health professionals who will review and adapt the treatment. The city-hospital link is essential to guarantee the continuity and the consistence of the care process. When a patient is discharging with the emergency department, the outgoing mail often mentions only the reason for admission, and the information concerning the detection or suspicion of an ADE is not systematically stipulated. However, this information is essential to trigger a process of therapeutic revision (therapeutic modification, therapeutic education, referral to specialized consultations ...) that will prevent the recurrence of the ADE and therefore the readmission to emergency department. To date, the rate of readmission to emergency department after a first visit related to an ADE is between 3.6 and 18.7%. Our goal is to evaluate the impact at 6 months of a medical-pharmaceutical follow-up and the optimization of the city-hospital link following an admission at emergency department for ADE, on the readmission to emergency department for the same ADE. This is a single-center randomized, controlled, open-label, two-arm, parallel, "usual information transmission" or "optimized information transmission" study. The duration of a patient's follow-up is 6 months. Each patient with an occurring ADE detected during emergency department admission could be participating in the study. Specific management of the experimental group: Sending to the community referring physician by the emergency department an discharge report containing the reason for emergency consultations (report currently made as part of the treatment). Within 72 hours (working hours), the Emergency Clinical Pharmacist contacts the referring physician and the patient's community pharmacist to discuss how to manage the ADE. In parallel, a second report, summary of the ADE (ADE-report), is sent to them. The ADE-report, written and validated by the investigators (emergency physician and clinical pharmacist), includes the type of ADE, the suspected drug(s) and other recommendations: therapeutic modification, referral to specialized consultations (geriatrics ...) Control group: The emergency department sends to the referring doctor a letter to inform him about the reason of consultations in the emergency department (mail currently realized as part of the care process). Primary outcome measure: Percentage of patients who had at least one readmission for the same reason in the emergency department within 6 months of the initial exit. This information will be collected during a telephone call with the patient and the referring physician.
