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.
This is a trial in adult participants with unresectable, locally advanced, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with pembrolizumab in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy and standard thoracic radiotherapy followed by pembrolizumab monotherapy. The primary hypothesis of the trial is that within each platinum doublet chemotherapy cohort, the percentage of participants who develop Grade 3 or higher pneumonitis is ≤10% and objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
MIRNA is a prospective multi-center observational study designed to explore 762 plasma microRNAs in patients with malignant CNS tumours: 60 primary glioblastoma (GBM), 20 primary CNS lymphomas and 40 brain metastases in an attempt to establish plasma microRNA signatures specific to GBM capable of distinguishing them from malignant non-glial brain tumours. 20 patients with cerebral stroke and 20 healthy volunteers will also participate in the study, and for each patient, a panel of 762 microRNAs will be screened in plasma.
Severe mental illness is accompanied by cognitive fluctuations that can alter decision-making skills and lead to coerced care. Taking into account, on the one hand, the health, social and economic impact of forced hospitalization, on the other hand the importance of self-determination, the reinforcement of the power to act in the evolution of these disorders, new strategies to better reflect the views of people have been developed. Among these, the drafting of Advanced Directives in Psychiatric (ADP), allows people with mental disorders to write while their decision-making skills are restored care instructions in case of decompensation. It is a tool of "advanced therapeutic education" and early prevention of relapses. It is hypothesized that the implementation of drafting accompanied by advance directives to people with severe psychiatric disorders decreases in the short term the number of forced hospitalization care pathway of these people, compared to the subjects having not benefited from this device. This research will take the form of a randomized controlled trial on 3 sites. The "quantitative" evaluation component of results and processes will be completed with a qualitative anthropological and socio-political evaluation component documenting the trajectories of individuals and the implementation of the program, as well as a "participatory research" component aimed at a dialogue between users, researchers and professionals. The patient who is a beneficiary of the "Advanced Directives in Psychiatric" program will be encouraged to complete the " Advanced Directives in Psychiatric" document and will receive support in drafting them. The non-beneficiary patient of the program will follow up with his psychiatrist unchanged. The experimental design of the quantitative component is based on an experimental, randomized, prospective, controlled, parallel study, comparing two groups of subjects with severe psychiatric disorders. This research will assess the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of the " Advanced Directives in Psychiatric" program compared to conventional psychiatric care alone. Ultimately, the objective of describing the effects of the program on health organizations and on the representations and practices of professionals, caregivers and users is at the service of a better understanding of the conditions of possibility of the generalization of this experimentation.
Fatigue is a clinical symptom that has been described as the most disturbing by around 50% of patients with PBC. It has an important impact on patients' quality of life and is associated with an increased mortality risk. To treat fatigue in PBC, only medical treatments have been tested with limited efficacy or serious sides' effects. In other diseases, mostly cancer, psychological interventions showed efficacy on fatigue decrease. Most interventions consist in psychoeducation with: education about fatigue, development of self-care or coping techniques, activity management and learning to balance between activities and rest. Hypnosis, which consists in a body work for psycho-therapeutic use (e.g., through imagination), has also shown promising results. Moreover, psychological intervention efficacy seems to be influenced by patients' characteristics, such as personality. Therefore, the first aim of the present single-center randomized controlled phase 2 trial is to assess the efficacy of a psycho educational intervention and a hypnosis intervention on PBC patients' fatigue to demonstrate that both psychoeducational and hypnosis interventions decrease patient fatigue.
Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are the treatment of choice in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However 37% of patients are unresponsive or poorly responsive to these therapies. It is still not possible to foresee the patient's response to anti-VEGF injections. A poor response may be related to an activation of alternative pro-angiogenic pathways with over expression of many other pro-angiogenic cytokines. The primary goal of this study is to measure the aqueous humor concentration of pro-angiogenic cytokines in AMD patients.
Presently, there isn't any international recommendation to evaluate vigilance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. The French Society of Sleep Research and Medicine (SFRMS) recommend evaluating professional driver with a MWT but no recommendation exists for other patients. After a minimal treatment of 4 weeks, the physician has to evaluate the drowsiness risk of these patients using either an objective test like the MWT or a subjective one. In the university hospital Amiens-Picardie, since the 01/01/2015, every patient with an Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome diagnosed by a polysomnography or a ventilatory polygraphy had a MWT after 4 weeks of treatment. At each time of the evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, tiredness score of Pichot, and depressive score of Beck are performed.
This is a multi-country, multicentre, observational cross-sectional one-visit study of patients suffering from severe asthma in primary and secondary care settings in Europe
HB-101 is a bivalent recombinant vaccine against human CMV infection. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study to assess the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy of HB-101 in CMV-Seronegative patients receiving a kidney transplant from a CMV-Seropositive living donor and CMV-Seropositive patients.Patients enrolled should have a living donor kidney transplantation ideally planned between two to four months after the first injection of study drug (HB-101 or placebo).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of guselkumab in adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).
The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically-characterized whole blood specimens for use in developing and evaluating the performance of new biomarker assays for detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
