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.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a commonly performed minimally invasive surgery in which a camera (an arthroscope) is inserted inside the shoulder joint. This surgery is responsible for moderate to severe pain. It may require the use of opioid analgesics in the acute phase. One of the components of this pain may be the postoperative hematoma. Pain is one of the main causes of patient satisfaction failure after shoulder surgery. Finding ways to reduce this pain is a primary principle in the management of this surgery. Until now, this management requires the frequent use of morphine. However, this use of morphine may conduct to adverse effects (nausea/vomiting, constipation, malaise, sweating), and even public health problems such as addiction. It is therefore interesting to look for ways to increase the patient's analgesia by other means, which will thus increase patient satisfaction and make his management more fluid. The effect on pain of hematoma reduction is rarely described in the scientific literature. The hypothesis of this study is that the intraoperative administration of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid can reduce the hematoma and thus decrease postoperative pain.The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the use of IV tranexamic acid intraoperatively, compared to a placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%), reduces postoperative pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
The purpose of this open, multicenter phase II trial is to confirm the tolerance and evaluate the efficacy of the SclerFIX product, an allograft of umbilical cord lining membrane, in reinforcement of scleral thinning in patients who underwent eye tumor exeresis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the drug absorption of oral antibiotics in patients with short bowel syndrome.
Currently, the technique of arteriovenous fistula puncture is transmitted by companionship within hemodialysis units. Although the main principles of the technique are well known and common to all hemodialysis units, strong rationales are still lacking to standardize fine practices such as the relative position of the needles, the angle of attack of the needle at puncture, the position of the bevel at the time of puncture and once the needle is in the vascular lumen. The training of professionals using a simulation-based training program on the approach to arteriovenous fistula puncture, in a process of optimizing practices and continuous improvement of care, while respecting the principles of andragogy, seems to be a suitable tool. This program is built in a multi-professional team from nephrology, nursing and health simulation.
Primary Objective: -Assess the effectiveness of cemiplimab versus other available systemic therapies in patients up to 2018 or say historical system organ class (SOC) with metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation, on overall survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: - Assess Progression Free Survival (PFS) - To assess Duration of Response (DOR) - To assess Objective Response Rate (ORR) - To describe adverse events leading to treatment interruptions and deaths
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have been proven to be effective in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients. However, it is well acknowledged that such a strategy could be optimised, especially through new technologies/devices. Data on the entirely sub-cutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) published so far come from high-volume centers and/or selected populations. The HONEST Cohort -taking the opportunity of a unique scenario with a single manufacturer and remote monitoring system available- aims to collect retrospectively baseline information as well as follow-up of all patients implanted with an S-ICD in France since the first implant in October 13, 2012 until December 31, 2019. An extended prospective yearly follow-up will be carried out since January 1, 2020 until December 31, 2024.
The use of a personalized 3D model of the breast in the management of breast cancer would be very useful to help the surgeon better understand the three-dimensional location of tumors in the operative position and thus better plan incisions and dissection of the breast tissue. This could be achieved with the help of a 3D biomechanical breast model that ideally should integrate the patient-specific mechanical properties of all breast tissue structures. The elasticity of the skin and especially the consideration of factors that can make it vary with age has been little studied. However, the integration of this parameter would clearly increase the robustness of the 3D model. Main objective: To perform a pilot evaluation of the performance of the biomechanical model by integrating the biomechanical characteristics of the skin and the collagenous architecture of the breast, during the transition from prone to supine or lateral position. Secondary Objectives: To describe the values of skin elasticity and thickness at different points of the breast, in women in the general population To search for clinical factors predictive of elasticity and skin thickness To carry out a pilot description of the collagen architecture of the breast Participation in this study will be offered to all patients consulting the gynecology-obstetrics department of the Montpellier University Hospital and meeting the inclusion criteria-Visit 1: Inclusion and measurement of skin thickness and elasticity: Inclusion will take place during the follow-up consultation in the obstetrics gynecology department of the Montpellier University Hospital. The patient's written consent will be obtained after a reflection period at the end of the consultation. Measurements of elasticity and thickness will then be performed for each of the 200 patients. Skin elasticity: The patient will be installed in dorsal decubitus position, with her arms at her sides on an examination table. Measurements will be performed at 3 sites on one of the two breasts: at the areola, above the areola and below. The measurements will be performed by a single gynecologist in the gynecology department using a cutometer provided by a laboratory of Grenoble. It has just been used by the Dutch Cancer Institute in Amsterdam to measure the elasticity of the tongue in a clinical study including 10 patients. Three measurements will be performed at each site. One measurement corresponds to a 10-second suction time (progressive rise of the depression) followed by 5 seconds of relaxation of the measurement site. The duration of these measurements will be approximately 15 minutes. Skin thickness: The measurement of skin thickness will be performed using an ultrasound device available in the obstetrics and gynecology consultation department. The measurement will be performed at 3 sites. The duration of the measurements will be of approximately 10 minutes. Adverse events will be collected at the end of the measurements. -Visit 2: Within 3 weeks after the first visit. Among the 200 patients, 10 patients who should benefit from a breast MRI as part of their follow-up, will have a breast MRI in 3 different positions: prone (standard protocol) and two additional acquisitions (as part of the research) in dorsal and right lateral decubitus. This examination will be scheduled in the Lapeyronie Hospital.
A global study to evaluate transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in combination with durvalumab, tremelimumab and lenvatinib therapy in patients with locoregional hepatocellular carcinoma
The thromboembolic risk is increased during the nephrotic syndrome (NS) with an incidence of deep vein thrombosis 15%, pulmonary embolism of 10-30% and renal vein thrombosis of 25-37%. There is a hemostatic imbalance with urinary leakage of anticoagulant factors and increased hepatic synthesis of procoagulant factors, platelet hyperaggregability and a decrease in fibrinolytic activity. However, the identification of patients requiring anticoagulant prophylaxis remains imprecise.The thromboembolic risk is higher when the NS is related to extramembranous glomerulonephritis comparatively to others glomerulopathies. The reason of this difference is not still known. This risk increase with SN's severity and therefore with the decrease of albuminemia. Moreover, few studies have evaluated anticoagulant treatment efficacy during a NS, which clinical benefit depends also on hemorrhagic risk specific of each patient. Thus, the determination of the thrombotic risk and the modalities of anticoagulation are variable and perfectible during the NS. We propose to use the thrombin generation test (TGT) to quantify the thromboembolic risk in patients with a NS and to follow its evolution during prophylactic anticoagulation and after remission of NS.
Calcified lesions are very frequent among coronary artery disease stenotic lesions. The prevalence of calcifications ranges from 30 to 40% (by angiography evaluation) but is higher when analyzed by intra coronary imaging. Calcified lesions are very frequent among coronary artery disease stenotic lesions. The prevalence of calcifications ranges from 30 to 40% (by angiography evaluation) but is higher when analyzed by intra coronary imaging. The presence of calcifications increases the risk of adverse evolution after PCI , including stent restenosis, thrombosis and need for repeat revascularisation. Specific and appropriate tools can be used for calcified lesions management , including high pressure non compliant balloons, intravascular lithotripsy and rotablator. Intra vascular OCT has a high sensitivity and specificity for calcium detection among coronary artery lesions. Compared to IVUS, OCT allows a better quantification of calcium sheets (depth extension ) . Several intra coronary imaging based calcified lesions management algorithms have been proposed , but none have been validated in clinical practice.
