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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) with or without pembrolizumab (MK-3475; KEYTRUDA®) in the treatment of adults with the following types of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors: 1) TKI-failures (including osimertinib [TAGRISSO®] failure) with T790M-negative mutation tumors, 2) T790M-positive mutation tumors with prior exposure to osimertinib, and 3) first-line osimertinib failure regardless of T790M mutation status. The primary study hypotheses are that the combination of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy has superior efficacy compared to saline placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of: 1) Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) based on blinded independent central review, and 2) Overall Survival (OS). This study will be considered to have met its success criteria if the combination of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to saline placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of PFS or OS. Upon study completion, participants are discontinued and may be enrolled in a pembrolizumab extension study, if available.
Post-stroke mood disorders (PSMD), including depression, anxiety and apathy, are observed in about 30 % of stroke patients at follow-up 3 or 4 months after stroke occurrence. They impair the functional outcome of the patients and their quality of life. Among the different brain structures involved in PSMD the role of the cerebellum has been under-evaluated while it is now well-known to be involved in mood regulation. The aim of this study will be to describe the characteristics of early and late mood disorders following a first acute ischemic cerebellar stroke using face to face interviews and mobile technologies and investigate their pathophysiological mechanisms through advanced brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of cortico-cerebello-cortical morphological and functional connectivity.
This trial is a multicentric study aiming to assess the evolution of the serum ifosfamide concentrations and its serum metabolites in patients treated for an Soft Tissue Sarcoma and co-exposed to Aprepitant. The study will be conducted on a population of patients treated with Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide. The Aprepitant can be prescribed to patients from cycle 2, according to the current recommendations. Doxorubicin, Ifosfamide and Aprepitant will be administered in the context of routine care. The follow-up during the treatment period and the clinical, biological and radiological assessments will be performed according to the standard of each centre. Patients will be followed during the two first cycles of treatment. For the pharmacokinetic study, blood samples will be collected at different time points during the 2 treatment cycles.
The analysis of HIV resistance to antiretrovirals (Sanger sequencing on RNA) is difficult when the viral load is undetectable or during therapeutic breaks. In these situations, the ultra-deep sequencing (UDS) can be done on proviral DNA in order to improve characterization of archived resistant variants with may reflect past virological failures. This study is a cross-sectional study which will require only one additional tube which can be taken during a routine check-up as part of the usual follow-up of the individuals included.
The purpose of this study was to confirm the preliminary evidence from early clinical trials that midostaurin may provide clinical benefit not only to AML patients with the FLT3-mutations but also in FLT3-MN (SR<0.05) AML (FLT3 mutant to wild type signal ratio below the 0.05 clinical cut-off). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of midostaurin in combination with daunorubicin or idarubicin and cytarabine for induction and intermediate-dose cytarabine for consolidation, and midostaurin single agent post-consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed patients with FLT3-MN (SR<0.05) AML.
Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD), a major factor of morbid-mortality in CF, is characterized by a preclinical phase of glucose intolerance particularly long reaching up to 10 years. At the physiopathology level, insulin secretion is determinant in the glucose tolerance abnormalities in CF. Indeed insulin secretion is dependent of the CFTR activity at the beta cell surface and inhibition of CFTR leads to a decrease in insulin secretion. Recently, the combination of the lumacaftor, a CFTR corrector, with Ivacaftor, a CFTR potentiator, was studied in patient with CF homozygous for the Phe508 del CFTR mutation patients and showed an improvement of the respiratory state in comparison with the placebo group. These data suggests that lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in targeting CFTR action may have an early impact on the insulin-secretion and consequently on the glucose tolerance.
Tracheotomy weaning and decannulation are one of the important problems in the neurosurgical care unit. Aside from medical, psychological, sociological, economical and ethics problems, tracheotomy increases the duration of the hospital stay and conditions the secondarily future medical care (better re-education after the injury). However, according to investigators practices, that patients who were decannulated with success can go into a secondary care residence more easily. This research will demonstrate that all patients included can be decannulated without risk of a new recannulation in the 96 hours.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the two alternate primary endpoints of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with progressive prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who received 177Lu-PSMA-617 in addition to best supportive/best standard of care (BSC/BSoC) versus patients treated with best supportive/best standard of care alone.
Several methods are available to measure ankle brachial index (ABI) non-invasively. A recent scientific statement of the AHA considers the Doppler method as the reference. However because Doppler devices are not widely available in primary care, several attempts have been made to propose alternative methods, among whom oscillometric methods (automatic blood pressure machines) have attracted most attention. We hypothesize that: - the diagnostic characteristics (i.e. sensitivity, specificity and AUC) of the oscillometric method would be very good as compared to the Doppler method. the oscillometric method would have better intra- and inter-observer reproducibilities as compared to the Doppler method.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of alirocumab administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) and every 4 weeks (Q4W) versus placebo after 24 weeks of double-blind (DB) treatment on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) 8 to 17 years of age on optimal stable daily dose of statin therapy ± other lipid modifying therapies (LMTs) or a stable dose of non-statin LMTs in case of intolerance to statins. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy of alirocumab versus placebo on LDL-C levels. - To evaluate the effects of alirocumab versus placebo on other lipid parameters. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab in comparison with placebo. - To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of alirocumab after open label treatment. - To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies.
