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.
Crying is a survival mechanism for babies and their almost exclusive means of expression until the age of 4 months. Babies 'cry is mostly related to pain, a feeling of hunger, discomfort or separation following the departure of a parent around. Crying is a complex but essential means of communication and information between a baby and his parents that raises the question of their meaning. The cry phenomenon consists of complex acoustic signals produced by the vocal cords and filtered by the vocal tract. The vibrations frequency determines the fundamental frequency, itself responsible for the perception of the cry tone (pitch). The frequency spectrum of a cry is modified during the passage through the upper airways forming broad bands called "resonance frequency" or "formants". From the specificity of a crying sequence, it is possible to extract dynamic information and relate it to the perception that the adult has of it. Thus dynamic crying is often perceived by the adult as an imminent need of the baby. Some studies have shown that a child's crying may change according to his degree of discomfort, suggesting that crying was a "graduated signal" whose frequency and timbre could vary along a continuum. These changes would explain why adult listeners would be able to dissociate crying babies of different intensities. Conversely, an inappropriate response to crying could gradually generate disorders of the relationship between the baby and the parent. However, despite their potential neuro-ethological interest, knowledge of information transmitted by babies's cry remains superficial. This could be related to the relatively obsolete techniques of recording or due to the lack of objective physiological data on babies 'cry. Finally, the perception and reactions of adults when they hear crying babies are not fully understood.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, dose-titrating phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of firibastat administered orally BID (2 daily doses) versus ramipril administered orally BID over 12 weeks after acute anterior MI. Subjects will be followed for 12 weeks (over 4 study visits). A total of 294 male and female subjects with a diagnosis of first acute anterior MI will be randomized. The subjects will need to have a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the index MI related artery within 24 hours after MI.
Recent preclinical studies suggest that combining MEK and MDM2 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in RAS/BRAF-mutant and TP53 wild-type CRC models. In vitro, in RKO cell lines (poorly differentiated colon carcinoma cell line resistant to single agent targeting MDM2 and MEK and BRAF inhibition), the MDM2 plus MEK inhibitor combination generated a synergistic increase in apoptotic index. In vivo, in mice harboring human RKO colon tumor xenografts the combination of MDM2 plus MEK inhibition elicited 93% decreases in tumor volume. This trial is to conduct a single-center, Phase 1 dose escalation study of trametinib combined with HDM201 (a HDM2 inhibitor) in patients with advanced/metastatic RAS/RAF mutant and TP53 wt CRC.
In France, two-thirds of adults over 35 years of age have at least a periodontal disease. The etiology is the accumulation of dental plaque, especially in interdental spaces. The cleaning of interdental spaces is particularly complex. This accumulation of dental plaque is at the origin of a modification of the bacterial flora in favor of periodontopathogenic bacteria. These pathogens can induce within the periodontal tissues an immune and inflammatory reaction that cause tissue degradation. The majority of studies focus on people over 30 years of age with gingivitis or periodontitis. However, young adults, in whom the initial or even reversible stages of periodontal disease are the most frequent, should be the preferred target of preventive measures for this pathology. The main objective of this study is to quantify, in healthy patients, the evolution of the supragingival bacterial flora, in the interdental spaces, following the daily passage of brushes with the adapted diameter and single passage. The secondary objective is to evaluate the qualitative change in the bacterial flora (proportions of periodontal bacteria / commensal bacteria) following the interdental cleaning.
Children with cerebral palsy present early in the childhood altered muscular properties, as soon as structural or stiffness. In the gastrocnemius muscle, altered muscular properties are characterized by short muscle belly length and increased stiffness which contribute to contracture and limiting joint range of motion. This study assess efficacy of an acute high intensity and long-time stretching session of plantarflexors muscle on their viscoelasticity properties and maximal dorsiflexion angle gain. Single stretching session is characterized by high intensity and long time (5 minutes).
PEFCAT is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, safety and feasibility study evaluating the FARAPULSE Endocardial Ablation System for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential effects on cognition of GRF6021, a plasma-derived product, administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion, to subjects with Parkinson's disease and cognitive impairment.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of secukinumab at Week 16, based on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) rates versus placebo, along with the maintenance of efficacy of secukinumab at Week 52 in subjects with moderate to severe HS. Moreover, this study assessed the safety and tolerability of secukinumab.

The practice of mountain running or "trail" is in full development in France and elsewhere in the world. This sporting practice associates specific physiological constraints related in particular to the duration of the efforts made (several hours) and to the ground (important elevation, technical ground, average altitude). Some studies have allowed the last 10 years to initiate the exploration of the physiological consequences of this type of practice, especially from a muscular point of view. However, some important questions remain to be clarified such as the impact of these sports events on fatigue and muscle recovery, cardiovascular, energy and water balance disturbances caused, induced sleep changes and the kinetics of recovery of the various parameters. . These elements remain in particular to be studied in very different racing contexts as currently developed by the organizers, namely race in one stage from long to very long distances (40 to 160 km) and race in stages (4 days, 4 x 40 km) as encountered in the Grenoble UT4M race (Ultra Tour des 4 Massifs).
