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 rhizarthrosis, or the degenerative osteoarthritis of the trapezo-metacarpal joint, is a frequent degenerative osteoarthritis. The treatment associates not pharmacological measures, such as resting relative of the joint, the orthosis of rest, glazing and pharmacological measures such analgesic, anti-inflammatory not steroidal per bones or premises, even infiltrations cortisone or by hyaluronic acid. No study has, for the moment, tested the interest of the combination of cortisone and hyaluronic acid in rhizarthrosis. In view of the current publications, we propose to carry out a study on two arms, with corticosteroids in reference arm; the experimental arm is the combination of hyaluronic acid and cortisone.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab as second line treatment in participants with advanced unresectable/metastatic ESCC that had progressed during or after first line therapy.
The purpose of the study is define the minimal intensity of stimulation range at which the needle is closed to the nerve without penetrating its surface (epineurium layer) in ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade
Open repair could be recommended in a first line of treatment to revascularize critical limb ischemia patients or performed in a second line of treatment in case of failure of endovascular repair. A good quality vein is one of the main factors that influence the clinical success of open revascularization for below-knee popliteal. In the absence of an suitable autologous vein, prosthesis such as polytetrafluoroethylen (PTFE) graft could be an option but demonstrated worse clinical and morphological results compared to autologous greater saphenous vein. Consequently, there is still a room for improvement in CLI patients in the absence of an suitable autologous vein in whom endovascular repair failed. Recently, PTFE with heparin-bound to the luminal surface (Hb-PTFE) significantly reduced the overall risk of primary graft failure by 37%, in particular, risk reduction was 50% in femoropopliteal bypass cases in cases with critical ischemia (58% Primary patency for crude ePTFE versus 80% primary patency for PROPATEN at 1 year follow-up) (Lindholt, et. al. 2011). Additionally, a weighted average from the literature suggests a 76% primary patency for below knee bypasses performed with PROPATEN at one year follow-up, whereas a published meta-analysis suggests a 59% primary patency for below knee crude ePTFE at one year follow-up. At two year follow-up using the same approach, the average primary patency for PROPATEN was 67% versus 43% for standard ePTFE. The aim of this study is to assess PTFE with heparin-bound to the luminal surface as an alternative to crude PTFE in absence of good venous conduit in patients with CLI.
Therapeutical hypnosis is proven to be an effective medical support to chemotherapy: it was shown that it can reduce the pain, anxiety, fatigue felt by the patient. Yet, hypnosis requires the presence of an hypnotherapist, which is why auto-hypnosis could be an efficient alternative to handle the side effects of chemotherapy. In this study, colorectal cancer and breast cancer patients are either taught auto-hypnosis or are taken in standard care for their chemotherapy. The life quality score (QLQC30) assessed during and after chemotherapies will determine if auto-hypnosis is a good medical support in chemotherapies' adverse effects management. The proven benefices of auto-hypnosis in the handling of the side effects of chemotherapies could improve the quality of life of cancer affected patients.
This is a three-part study of NUC-3373 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion across two administration schedules, either as monotherapy or as part of various combinations with agents commonly used to treat CRC (leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, cetuximab and panitumumab). The primary objective is to identify a recommended dose and schedule for NUC-3373 when combined with these agents.
The present study aims to compare muscle sympathetic neural activity by microneurography after one month treatment of fixed versus auto-adjusting CPAP treatment and its impact on arterial blood pressure
Percutaneous thermoablation in an effective local curative treatment in patients with cirrhosis and HCC smaller than 3 cm in diameter (BCLC 0-A). Around 30% of HCC patients referred for percutaneous ablation were regarded as non-feasible because of a difficult-at risk location or undetectable nodules. We used percutaneous thermoablation to treat HCC on high risk locations (subcapsular or liver dome) with or without lipiodol marked (for undetectable HCC). No clinical study has been published so far to compare percutaneous thermoablation of HCC on liver dome CT guided with artificial pneumothorax and lipiodol marked, and percutaneous thermoablation of HCC guided by ultrasonography (non subcapsular, distent form diaphragm). This retrospective study evaluate the overall survival, the local tumor progression or distant liver progression after percutaneous ablation for HCC and determine prognostic factors.
Detection of patient deterioration is a major healthcare problem. Indeed, acute clinical deterioration of the patient is often preceded by changes of several physiological parameters within 6 to 24h before the event occurs. The combination of i) early detection ii) rapid response and iii) efficient clinical management influences the patient's prognosis. Education of nurses, who are frontline healthcare providers, is therefore essential. Serious games might represent an interesting immersive educational tool to train a large number of healthcare professionals with high flexibility but assessment of their learning efficacy should be demonstrated. A serious game named LabforGames Warning has been developed for nursing students with the aims of improving their ability to detect clinical deterioration and to promote adequate interprofessional communication. The objective of this study will be to compare the respective value of digital simulation (using the above mentioned serious game) and a traditional teaching method to improve the clinical reasoning skills necessary to detect patient deterioration.
Tthe primary objective of this study is to compare blinded Independent Radiology Committee (IRC)-adjudicated progression free survival (PFS) of patients treated with CB-839 + cabozantinib (CB-Cabo) versus placebo + cabozantinib (Pbo-Cabo) for advanced or metastatic clear-cell RCC (ccRCC).
