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.
French health insurance data indicate that approximately 15% of ambulatory antibiotic consumption is generated by hospital prescriptions. This extra-hospital consumption represents a greater volume than intra-hospital consumption. To date, hospital indicators of good antibiotic use do not include this outpatient dimension. This study will provide a snapshot of the proportion of ambulatory antibiotics generated by emergencies and analyze compliance with management recommendations.This study will serve as a basis for developing indicators of outpatient antibiotic consumption generated by hospital activity and for identifying specific intervention targets aimed at the misuse situations that have been highlighted. This study will be carried out in the form of a repeated survey on a given day (4 days, one across each season), carried out by the local mobile antibiotic therapy team, using a standardized grid. The survey will concern all the medical records of the patients visiting any emergency department on the days of the survey. The evaluation of antibiotic therapies prescribed in discharge orders will be carried out in accordance with local management recommendations by the site investigator (infectious disease and/or emergency medicine specialist), who will assess whether the prescription is in accordance with the recommendations or not.
Several experiences of multidisciplinary care pathways associating oncologists, pharmacists and nurses have been reported for cancer patients, with positive results on medication management safety, reduction of Drug-Related Problems (DRPs), and re-hospitalizations. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary city-hospital follow-up program on medication management safety in haematological oncology patients receiving intravenous chemotherapy in onco-haematology. Additional aspects will be evaluated, such as the impact of the follow-up on the city-hospital link, satisfaction of patients and professionals involved in the follow-up and the use of telecare
The emergence of targeted therapy (ibrutinib, venetoclax, acalabrutinib) has revolutionized the management practices of chronic lymphoid leukemia due to their effectiveness. However, targeted therapy induces a significant additional cost compared to treatment with immunochemotherapy and their use can be problematic due to the frequent occurrence of side effects, which can be serious. In order to improve the current management of patients treated with targeted therapy, the aim of this study is to evaluate the ambulatory medical assistance nurse program. Ambulatory medical assistance is based on regular telephone calls to patient's homes by a specialist nurse and consists of the monitoring, detection and early management of possible adverse effects of targeted therapy, in link with the hematologist. The main objective of this clinical research is to determine efficiency of the ambulatory medical assistance nurse program.
In this randomized controlled open-label trial, conducted in 7 French Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (ICUs), investigator team hypothesize that the use of a procalcitonin (PCT)-guided algorithm to discontinue antibiotic treatment will decrease antibiotic duration in critically ill children treated for a suspected or proven bacterial infection. Two hundred and ninety-six eligible patients will be randomly assigned in two groups: either PCT-guided or standard-of-care antibiotic discontinuation, and monitored over 28 days, until the end of their hospitalization, or up to the end of antibiotic treatment for bacterial infection recurrence occurring up to 28 days after the day of randomization.
Approximately 2,200 cancers per year in France are diagnosed within the adolescents and young adults population (15-25 years old, AYA). The cancer plans and the INCA recommend support during and after cancer treatment, taking into account both medical and psycho-social specificities related to age (support care, school learning/training and professional integration, fertility preservation, therapeutic education, addictology, sexology...). In this context, AJA teams have been developed in which the Nurse Coordinators (IDEC) play a fundamental role. These Nurse Coordinators are available to young patients, their families and the professionals who accompany follow them in their therapeutic journey. Their main missions are to assess the specific needs of these young people and their loved ones, to inform, orient and participate in the coordination of their care by providing psychosocial and paramedical solutions to these young patients. The circular of 30/05/2016 on the coordinated regional organization of care for AJAs supports the development of connected health tools for AJAs. This population is adept to new technologies, social networks allowing them to continue to be informed and remain integrated to the outside world while helping them prepare for life after cancer. In this context, our team initiated the development of a digital application compatible for any cellphone OnKO-Tips&Tricks meeting these criteria of necessity with the company CAPCOD. We would want to move on to a validation stage by carrying out a national multicenter efficacy study in AJA mobile units by comparing two groups of patients: users/non-users of this digital tool on a main criterion of quality of life after using it for 6 months. As it should promote autonomy and integration into the care pathway as well as active participation in therapeutic education programs (TPE), these different items will be evaluated as secondary endpoints of our study
The medical information delivered to the patient before any surgery constitutes an essential and compulsory step during the initial management of the operated patient. There are different reasons for the quantity and quality of medical information retained by the patient. An internet platform with personalized and secure access has been developed. This platform contains, among other things, an explanatory video of breast surgery and allows the patient to have access to information on surgical management at any time. The investigators believe that unlimited access for the duration of the study to this platform could reduce the preoperative anxiety level of patients.
This clinical study will capture clinical data specific to the performance and safety of the LeMaitre® CARDIAL Dialine II. It is a retrospective, monocenter, post-market safety and performance study. Following the new MDR regulation, this study will allow the clinical data of the prosthesis to be completed in order to renew its CE marking.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 2-arm multicenter phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of ianalumab in patients with active Sjogren's syndrome (NEPTUNUS-1)
HIV-1 infected subjects that experience virological failure while on non nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), including those with the K103N mutation, are usually switched to a boosted PI-based regimen or other antiretroviral (ARV) combinations. The same is true for subjects who need to start antiretroviral therapy and have acquired virus that is already resistant to antiretrovirals. These "second line" combinations are often associated with numerous issues that can have a potential impact on the quality of life (QoL) of these patients. Therefore a simpler and better tolerated alternative second line treatment option would be a useful tool for the clinical management of these patients. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a dual combined therapy of Dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg OD + Rilpivirine (RPV) 25 mg OD in virologically suppressed participants with previous virological failure with NNRTIs and having the clinically significant mutation K103N. The secondary objective of the study is to assess whether a simplification of the treatment in terms of pill burden, long term metabolic toxicity and potential for drug interactions improves the QOL of the participants. The study will also evaluate DTG & RPV concentrations in the blood plus changes in cell associated virus. In order to compare the first line treatment (boosted PI and/or other antiretroviral combinations) and the DTG+RPV combination, two thirds of study participants will be switched to DTG+RPV immediately and receive DTG+RPV for 96 weeks. The other third will be switched after 48 weeks of continuing on their first line treatment and receive DTG+RPV for 48 weeks. All participants will then be followed up for a further 30 days. Participants will be recruited from sites across Europe, and randomised onto either arm of the study. After randomisation, participants will attend approximately 10 visits over the course of two years.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of PTC857 treatment in participants diagnosed with ALS.
