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.
In a recent study (Vignon 2017), respiratory variations of the diameter of superior vena cava had a greater diagnostic accuracy than pulse pressure variations and inferior vena cava respiratory variations in 540 medical and surgical ICU patients. But this indicator has not been investigated yet in cardiac surgery. The investigator aim to study respiratory variations of superior vena cava for predicting fluid responsiveness after cardiac surgery. In post-operative cardiac surgery patients with hemodynamic failure, the investigator will measure respiratory vena caval variations with TEE (Trans oesophageal echocardiography). Then, the investigator will evaluate fluid responsiveness after a fluid challenge (Trendelenburg). A ROC curve will be constructed in order to assess the optimal sensitivity and specificity of this parameter.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786 compared to placebo, for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
More and more parents decide to maintain pregnancy which could have been interrupted because of serious fetal pathologies. In this observational study, the investigators examine obstetrical and pediatric evolution of these pregnancies, from 2006 to 2016 in Montpellier University Hospital.
Assess the impact of the systematic use of STOPP/START tool during medication conciliation on the evolution of hospitalised elderly people's quality of life at 2 months.
Patients with cancer or hematological malignancy are susceptible to present acute complications linked to their disease or to their specific treatments (dyspnea, sepsis, coma, hemorrhagic syndrome). Emergency physicians are in first line when these complications arise and have to face with some complex situations in which informations about patient malignancy or prognosis may be lacking. Nowadays, there is very few epidemiological data published concerning how cancer patient use Emergency Departments (EDs) and cancer patient care delivery in the EDs. Thus, an observational multicenter prospective cross-sectional study is conducted to study the prevalence of cancer patients admitted to French EDs, and to describe the different reasons for cancer patients to seek care in EDs with their prevalence and underscore those linked to cancer or treatment complication
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation trial of DCR-PHXC in Healthy Volunteers (HVs) and patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria (PH). Once safety has been established in HV, PH patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PH1 and PH2 will be enrolled across multiple dosing cohorts. The study design will allow enrollment of PH patient cohorts at a given dose level once safety has been demonstrated in HV at that dose level. The study will be conducted in two parts: Part A: Single ascending dose (SAD) in HV; Part B: SAD in patients with PH1 and PH2 (lagging Part A by 1 dose level cohort).
The purpose of this multicentric study is to evaluate the perception of the quality of the end of life in intensive care units seen from the side of the caregivers, trough the CAESAR scale.
A study of an investigational drug to see how it affects the people with Parkinson's Disease complicated by motor fluctuations ("OFF" Episodes) compared to an approved drug used to treat people with Parkinson's Disease complicated by motor fluctuations ("OFF" Episodes)
The hyperglycemic response to surgery and the added effect of low-dose steroids (dexamethasone 4 to 8mg), and whether these differ in diabetics and nondiabetics remain unclear. Therefore, we prospectively evaluate the intraoperative and postoperative serum glucose concentrations in diabetics and nondiabetics that received intravenous steroid administration. This multicentre study include > 250 patients.Primary endpoiunt was glucose concentration at H6 after surgery. Secondary endpoints were glucose concentration at H12 and at H24 and effect of anesthesia (regional anesthesia)
The purpose of this study is to assess the duration of the viral shedding in hematology and oncology patients after a respiratory tract viral infection. This duration has not been much studied in that population whereas it is probably longer than that in immunocompetent patients. Thereby it may be a source of transmission amongst these immunocompromised patients.
