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 main objective of this study is to evaluate the tumor objective response rate (ORR) assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria in participants who receive sotorasib at either 960 mg daily or 240 mg daily whose tumors are programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) < 1% and/or harbor a serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) co-mutation, in a subgroup of participants with PD-L1 < 1% and in a subgroup of participants with STK11 co-mutation.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple biomarker-selected treatments in patients with persistent or recurrent rare epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal tumors. Enrollment will take place in two phases: a preliminary phase followed by a potential expansion phase.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the most performed pancreatic surgery for malignant or premalignant tumors of the region of the head of the pancreas. Its post-operative morbidity is very high, over 40%. There is very little data on the impact of microbiota on complications after pancreatic surgery. The purpose of this research is to study the correlation between the microbiota (fecal, blood, oral, biliary, pancreatic and intestinal microbiota) and the postoperative complications in patients who undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy.
This is a phase III study of efficacy and safety of secukinumab versus placebo, in combination with glucocorticoid taper regimen, in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA)
The confusional syndrome is defined by the acute or subacute onset of a deficit syndrome (temporo-spatial disorientation, memory and concentration disorders, abnormal behavior, impairment of intellectual efficiency, fluctuation of disorders with an increase in the evening) that may be associated with a productive syndrome (visual or auditory hallucinations, delusional elements) (French College of Neurology). It is a frequent, serious and costly problem in hospitalized patients and in emergency rooms. Its prevalence is between 10 and 31% of cases in emergency rooms and concerns up to one out of two elderly patients during a hospitalization. The potential morbidity and mortality of the confusional syndrome is due in part to the difficulty of identifying and treating rapidly the triggering and aggravating factors that are often interrelated in the elderly. Most often, these are drug effects, metabolic disorders, infections, consequences of prolonged immobilization or physical restraint. The lack of rapid treatment of these causes increases the risk of medium and long-term cognitive problems. Because of the aging population, this is an increasingly expensive problem. In 2012, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe study conducted in 18 European countries combined estimated its cost at $182 billion per year. The management of confusional syndrome in the elderly is now a major public health issue. It is a targeted indicator of the safety and quality of care for the elderly.
In France, alcohol consumption is the second most common cause of so-called preventable cancers after tobacco. Since 2014, in the "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur" (PACA) region, the association Santé! has been developing an innovative intervention to support people suffering from alcohol-related addiction. This intervention, called IACA! must therefore be evaluated on a larger scale before conclusions about its effectiveness can be drawn from a comparative trial. This evaluation requires significant human and material resources. It is therefore recommended to first assess the transferability of IACA! in other care centers in a pilot study.
GIST are rare mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by somatic mutations in the gene encoding the KIT (85%) or the PDGFRα (8%) protein. Treatment of localized forms relies on adequate surgery without tumor spillage and sometimes systemic treatment with imatinib according to risk of relapse defined by localization, tumor size and mitotic count, as well as mutational status. More than 40% of cases may recur and metastasize. Advanced and relapsing forms are currently treated with oral tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) of KIT and PDGFR such as imatinib (standard treatment), sunitinib (2nd line) and regorafenib (3rd line). Nevertheless, imatinib has little or no activity in patients harboring the D842V mutation in the exon 18 of PDGFRα (20% of gastric GIST, 6% of all GIST patients). Consequently, other therapeutic alternatives are needed. Results from the phase I single-arm NAVIGATOR study show that avapritinib has significant efficacy in GIST patients with PDGFRα D842V mutation (ORR = 86 %). In France, an authorization for temporary use (ATUc) starting on September 21st, 2020 has been granted by the National Agency for Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM). It allows the early availability of avapritinib in France while waiting for Market Authorization Approval (AMM). This ATUc is now being followed by a post-ATU period. The objective of this real-life registry is to perform a long-term longitudinal follow up of PDGFRA D842V-mutated GIST patients and to collect effectiveness and safety data. It will be implemented in parallel to the post-ATUc period until June 2023. Moreover, this registry fulfills the HAS's ("Haute Autorité de Santé") request regarding the Establishment of an exhaustive registry of patients with GIST, harboring the D842V / PDGFRA mutation in France. This registry will specifically describe: - patient characteristics, in particular patient age, of the disease characteristics, previous treatments; - the clinical course; - the occurrence of adverse events / effects; - and the therapeutic strategy (endpoint of treatment or continuation). Data from the electronic health record (EHR) will be collected. Moreover, as per the ANSM's requirements, quality of life and cognitive function will be investigated using FACT-G, FACT-Cog and MoCA questionnaires. Undesirable effects will be collected as well. Follow-up is envisioned for a minimum of 2 years.
This study aims to assess the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), documented using data recorded by an implantable Holter monitoring device (Reveal Linq, Medtronic) within 2 years after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for cryptogenic stroke.
A global study to demonstrate the effectiveness of selumetinib in participants with NF1 who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas.
AKI is a rapid and usually reversible impairment of kidney function that is life-threatening in the short term well described by the "Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes - KDIGO" classification of 2012. Whatever etiology of acute renal failure, drug iatrogeny still has its place. Hospital data from the information systems medicalization program (PMSI) can be used for epidemiological research. No study has yet been performed on these data to assess drug-related AKI. However, it should be remembered that these databases were not originally designed for research purposes but for reimbursement of care. Therefore, before conducting a large-scale study, it remains important to determine the validity and representativeness of the codes used for coding the studied events. The objective of this project is therefore to validate the use of hospital coding to identify AKI.
