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.
Mold invasive infections are associated with an important mortality despite optimization of the antifungal treatment. In a few case reports, immune checkpoints inhibitors, initially developed for neoplastic diseases, have shown a potential beneficial effect in such devastating infections by restoring an efficient immune response. The investigators propose a longitudinal monitoring of the adaptative immune response, notably immune checkpoint expression on T cells, during mold invasive infections to help identify the patients who could benefit from the adjunction of immunotherapy and the optimal timing of such strategy.
The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) reflects the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic tone. It is based on a specific interpretation of the R-R interval variation. During fluid removal by net ultrafiltration in patients with fluid overload and continuous renal replacement therapy, some data suggest that haemodynamic variation could be induced by the autonomic nervous system. The study aims to investigate ANI variations in this context and their association with the haemodynamic variations observed.
Multidisciplinary management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can significantly increase survival but also improve the quality of life of patients. The evaluation of cortical-spinal motor neuron damage is currently based only on the assessment of clinical data. However, the alteration of the central motor pathway and conduction can be identified and quantified by different techniques using motor-evoked potentials (MEP). The combined quadriceps test (QCT) has been developed to assess central and peripheral motor pathway conduction. This test allows to quantify central and peripheral part of a mixed disorder, and to detect physiological hyporeflexia or hyperreflexia which, in the case of suspected ALS, can lead to interpretation problems. The evolution of the QCT parameters during the course of pathology will lead to determine the preponderance of an initial central involvement, but also its extension throughout the pathology. The study of these parameters as well as the clinical course of the disease could reveal a correlation between peripheral and central involvement. This link would provide arguments in favor of pathophysiological hypotheses of disease onset and progression. From a prognostic point of view and depending on the quantification of central and peripheral involvement, the QCT would make it possible to characterize the different ALS phenotypes. This phenotypic characterization would help identify prognostic factors at diagnosis. The investigators propose a cohort study with the exploration of central motor neuron damage by QCT during the course of ALS in order to provide arguments for a better mechanistic understanding and follow-up of this disease with a poor prognosis.
This study is a phase III, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter, interventional trial, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of mosunetuzumab in combination with lenalidomide versus anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) plus chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated FLIPI 2-5 follicular lymphoma.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
The main objective is to assess whether hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery initiated early after diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) allows a better efficacy on glucose control than conventional standard insulin therapy with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) or insulin pumps after one year of use. The secondary objectives are to assess whether HCL initiated early after diagnosis of T1D allows: (1) Higher time spent with glucose level in the near-normal range, (2) Lower time spent in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, (3) Lower glucose variability, (4) Lower perceived burden of diabetes management, (5) Better preserved endogenous insulin secretion, all the above after one year of use, (6) Lower occurrence of interventions for hypoglycemia, versus conventional standard insulin therapy with MDI or insulin pump. An optional 1-year extension aims at assessing: (1) Sustainability of above mentioned parameters over a second year of HCL use in the group who started HCL early after diagnosis, (2) Efficacy on glucose control according to the above mentioned parameters when HCL is initiated early after diagnosis vs. after 1 year in the control group of the randomized phase.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the standard surgical operation for benign or malign pancreatic lesions. Pancreatic Fistula (PF) or Postpancreatectomy Acute Pancreatitis (PPAP) are the major complications associated with that type of surgery. We need to develop preventive measures for these complications, which requires a better understanding of their physiopathology. The aim of this prospective monocentric and observational study is to identify predictive biomarkers and/or risk factors for PF or PPAP using metabolomics. The Profiling of circulating metabolites is indeed an original and promising approach for this purpose. We will also investigate the patient's immune status and its association with the occurrence of post-surgical complications. Participants will be adult patients scheduled to undergo elective pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgery and patient's management will be as usual. During surgery, a fragment (0.1-0.2 g) of non-tumoral pancreatic tissue will be removed and frozen at -80°C for metabolomic analysis. For immunological assessment, 4 blood samples will be collected (before surgery and then 7 days, 1 and 3 months after, blood sampling).
Primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder responsible for severe lithiasis leading to progressive deterioration of renal function and end-stage renal failure. PH1 is linked to a deficiency in glyoxylate amino transferase (AGXT), which leads to increased endogenous oxalate synthesis and hyperoxaluria. In the urine, urinary oxalate precipitates with calcium, forming insoluble crystals, leading to lithiasis and the development of nephrocalcinosis. Non-genetic etiologies of oxalic nephropathy are well known, in particular enteric causes (malabsorptions, bypass, calcium deficiencies, etc.) and sometimes linked to increased oxalate intake in the form of nutritional or vitamin supplements, reinforcing the hypothesis of probably underestimated favouring factors of hyperoxaluria. Until now, heterozygous patients with a mutation in the AGXT gene were considered asymptomatic. However, there have been several cases of patients with heterozygous AGXT mutations presenting with lithiasis. Consequently, the characteristics of symptomatic and asymptomatic heterozygous patients will be studied in order to define the elements that would explain the expression of the disease (particularities of the AGXT mutation, presence of another heterozygous mutation or favorable living conditions). The hypothesis is that there is an increase in hepatic oxalate production in heterozygous patients, which explains why they remain asymptomatic under usual conditions, but could favor stone formation under favorable conditions such as severe calcium deficiency or malabsorption.
The aim of this post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in the maintainance of natural moisture of the vulvovaginal mucosa and in the compensation for any natural secretions deficiencies, when used in accordance with its approved labeling, in the context of vulvovaginal dryness.
Road marathon is a famous running race known for hundreds of years. Trail running is an emerging running discipline which count new runners every year. Trail running and road marathon are two running endurance disciplines which differed by variation of elevation and nature of the terrain. While marathon is essentially run on flat roads, trail races are realized on steep paths (mountain, desert…) with an important variation of elevation. Neuromuscular, biomechanical and physiological consequences are different depending on the discipline, especially with a greater eccentric contribution in trail running. In spite of this characteristic, trail runners take part in several races longer than 40 km per year, while road runners participate in one to two marathons per year.
