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 aim of this study is to determine, using immunohistochemistry (IHC) on biopsies and surgically removed tumor if short-treatment immunotherapy with atezolizumab monotherapy or in combination with other biologic agents (ipatasertib / Bevacizumab / Trastuzumab / Pertuzumab) is associated with increased levels of activated GzmB+ CD8+ T cells from baseline to post treatment sample. Moreover, from baseline to post treatment sample, evolution of others biomarkers will be studied : GzmB/CD8, CD8/FoxP3, CD8/CD68 in IHC, cell proliferation, PD-L1, MHC-I, change in gene expression (RNA-Seq). Tjis study aim also to assess the safety and tolerability of study treatments in this population and to determine the effect of short-term immunotherapy treatment in pCR at surgery. Patients will undergo tumor biopsies at screening and 15 days after the beginning of treatment (if they start neoadjuvant chemotherapy) / at surgery, in order to evaluate in IHC evolution of activated GzmB+ CD8+ T cells and evaluate other markers It targets 2 different cohorts: newly diagnosed, non-metastatic early-stage triple-negative (TNBC) or HER2+ breast cancer. TNBC cohort is composed of 2 open-label, randomized arms, HER2+ of 2 arms. A maximum of 185 patients will be included in the trial Tumor evaluation will be performed by clinical examination and Breast echography at baseline and end of treatment visit. The safety of the product will be assessed at each cycle, through complete clinical exams, biological tests and through the collection of ongoing toxicities or adverse events.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. As an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality, particularly for stroke, its management is a real public health issue. AF is associated with diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart failure and, occasionally, hyperthyroidism. Atrial fibrosis is one of the major players in the genesis and maintenance of AF. It has a strong impact on rhythmic prognosis and treatment success. Currently the AF ablation is the treatment recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and by the American Society of Cardiology. The rate of AF recurrence is variable according to the patient characteristics and remains unfortunately today difficult to predict. Abnormal concentrations of circulating biomarkers reflecting the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis could help to identify patients at higher risk of developing AF and/or AF recurrence after ablation. Thus, the development of simple, reliable and valid biological tests of atrial fibrosis would allow the clinicians i) to estimate the potential success of AF ablation; ii) to predict AF recurrence; iv) and to propose a AF personalized therapeutic approach. The main objective of PROFIB-AF study is to identify, among biological markers (ICTP, PICP, PIIINP, sRAGE, AGE, Galectin 3, sSt2, microRNAs) of myocardial fibrosis, those which can predict the recurrence risk after AF ablation.
HYPNODYS is a single-center study evaluating the evolution of perceived voice-related disability before and after 3 standardized hypnosis sessions in patients with functional dysphonia.
Elderly people are at high risk of multiple medication which increases drug interactions and side effects. This problem is accentuated in EHPAD due to the multiplication of prescribers (the referring physician, the hospital physician, the specialist, the emergency physician, the coordinating physician). The lack of optimization of drug prescriptions in EHPAD can be responsible for iatrogenic, underuse and overuse of treatment, impacting the autonomy and quality of life of residents in EHPAD in France. A method for optimizing diagnostic and drug management at the entry of a new EHPAD resident, called OPTIM EHPAD, has been tested in Languedoc-Roussillon (France) and validated. This is a consultation between the referring physician and the EHPAD coordinating physician. Some improvements have been made to this method in order to have an optimized version. Physician's cooperation seems to promote decision-making and change in therapies. The objective of this study is to assess the theoretical effectiveness and efficiency of this approach. It is supposed that the provision to the EHPAD coordinating physician of a method for optimizing the diagnostic and drug management of the new EHPAD resident (based on a decision following consultation between the referring doctor and the coordinating doctor) would impact on the resident care process, on their care results and on communication and coordination between the coordinating physician and the referring physician.
Bipolar disorder (BD) has a huge impact on the lives of patient and their relatives. Psychoeducation programs on BD has been shown to be effective on the burden of patients and their caregivers. However, actual programs appear to be incompatible with patients obligations and services requirements of the service. The development of "minute" programs (in one day) is justified.
The evidence demonstrating the importance of coronary microcirculation in the management of patients with coronary artery disease is growing. For example, in recent years, a number of studies have demonstrated that the presence of coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) contributes to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality independent of the extent and severity of coronary epicardial disease. The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is an invasive index proposed for the diagnosis of CMVD. The ability of IMR to motivate therapeutic changes in order to subsequently reduce symptoms and improves the quality of life of our patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) was recently demonstrated. The prognostic value of IMR has also been shown in stable CAD with PCI. Thus, after optimal epicardial evaluation and if necessary revascularization according to FFR, IMR could represent a tool for personalized medicine adapted to the presence of severe CMVD. The aim of the study is to demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine on angina in patients with epicardial coronary network lesion assessment by FFR and with significant CMVD assessed by IMR.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study of two treatment regimens for invasive candidiasis included candidemia. Subjects will receive intravenous echinocandin followed by oral ibrexafungerp (SCY-078) vs intravenous echinocandin followed by oral fluconazole.
The Osteo-Medullary Biopsy (BOM) is a procedure carried out by means of a trocar and makes it possible to obtain a bone core. This gesture is usually performed by performing a local subcutaneous anesthesia at the puncture point of the postero-superior iliac crest, sometimes associated with the use of MEOPA (equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide) in case of persistence a painful perception at the puncture site during the examination, in accordance with the Guide to Good Practices for Spinal Puncture of the French Society of Hematology. However, this procedure appeared to us to be insufficient to ensure optimal comfort and effective analgesia and to effectively control anxiety. The realization of the BOM under hypnosis represents an alternative which can bring additional comfort to the patient thanks to a better tolerance and a reduction in the perception of pain. During hypnosis, it has been demonstrated that the stimulation of cortical areas in sleep and in wakefulness leads to a reduction in the pain felt by the patient. Thanks to a retrospective study carried out within the hematology department of the University Hospital of Rennes, we observed a net benefit of hypnosis on the comfort and the pain felt during the realization of a bone marrow biopsy, associated with a decrease in anxiety. In addition, the number of cubicles obtained during the examination (proportional to the size of the biopsy core) was better. Obtaining more than 10 cubicles (figure required by pathologists for a quality examination) was observed in 78% of cases with hypnotic support versus 53% without hypnotic support. Finally, the sample-taking physician reported better operational comfort when accompanied by the hypnotherapist nurse.
Multicenter, multinational, double-blind, randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled Phase III study to investigate the efficacy and safety of 100 mg FAB122 once daily as oral formulation in ALS patients.
Cardiac surgery is not trivial. It requires opening the thorax in certain indications: coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacements or plasties, aortic dissection, etc. These different procedures, both pre- and post-op, generate anxiety in the patient, the effects of which can be harmful to the recovery process and general well-being. It can be increased by the resuscitation environment during the immediate postoperative management. This environment also favors the development of delirium. It is possible to improve this environment by using non-drug and inexpensive techniques. Indeed, making the stay in the ICU better while respecting the safety of the patient and the efficiency of the care, could reduce anxiety as well as the appearance of delirium. Studies have been carried out on the effectiveness of music in health care with a positive impact on anxiety and pain. The proposed study aims to evaluate the implementation of relaxation moments adapted to the resuscitation sector from the day after surgery. They target the senses available and accessible at that moment, such as hearing (relaxing music chosen by the patient will be played) and sight (a multi-effect light projector and a bubble column will be deployed). Environmental stressors will be minimized, while maintaining an optimal level of safety. The primary objective is to compare anxiety before and after the first session in cardiac surgery patients in the cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CCTV) resuscitation unit between the group with the usual rest session and the group with the rest session combining soft music and light. The secondary objectives are based on an evaluation of anxiety over different time periods, patient comfort, occurrence of postoperative delirium, patient pain, average length of stay (LOS). This is a pilot, comparative, monocentric, randomized, interventional research with minimal risks and constraints in 2 parallel groups. 110 patients will be included over a period of 12 months In the experimental group, once a day, a relaxation session with the association of soft music and light will be proposed by adapting the environment of the patient's resuscitation room. The control group will have the usual rest session.
