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 study is a cohort study of patients at the University Hospital during the first two days of intensive treatment. The patients are randomly divided into two groups (N=10). Throughout the study, group A is treated with the multilayer elastic bandage while group B is bandaged with contention only. The bandages were applied on the first and second day and were maintained in place. The bandages were applied on the first and second day and were maintained for 24 hours. All patients performed 30 minutes of physical activity in the bandage on both days. The evaluation is based on the volumetric difference, skin quality and quality of life of these patients
A few years ago, a new genetic disorder (OMIM # 615075) has been associated with loss-of-function variations in the CTNNB1 gene. The clinical features include a delayed psychomotor development usually leading to severe intellectual disability with or without autistic spectrum disorders, progressive spastic diplegia, and various visual defects. Among over 30 cases described worldwide, 2 were reported with an exaggerated startle response to sudden stimulus corresponding to a very rare neurological phenomenon called hyperekplexia. The investigators also have a 3rd patient carrying a CTNNB1 syndrome associated with hyperekplexia.
Two French studies report that 25% of sexual abuse occurs in intrafamily sphere. To be victim of sexual abuse leads to cognitive troubles and redesign of psychological processes. Lot of studies report that offenders had been victims (30-97%). How psychological redesign is destroying genealogical representation and hinders the proper construction of family ties. This study to study characteristics data about family, and how the patients see it, from medical records of a specific department for sexual offenders in University Hospital of Saint Etienne. Study is realized blind from criminal categories. Data are gathered with a standardized grid, to guarantee reproducibility of data collection.
This study will investigate the correlation of fecal calprotectin (FC) values to quiescent ulcerative colitis and to disease activity (relapse) as assessed by clinical data and endoscopy.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the third in France. Its incidence is steadily rising in developing nations. Anastomotic leak (AL) is a major problem in colorectal surgery affecting at least 7% of patients operated on for left colonic cancer. It is the most feared complication after colorectal anastomosis, associated with mortality, prolonged hospitalization, impaired health related quality of life (HRQoL) and increased health care costs. Intraoperative fluorescence angiography (IOFA) with indocyanine green (ICG) may help preventing AL. Available studies on the effects of IOFA with ICG are heterogeneous and randomized controlled trial are scarce. Our aim is to demonstrate that IOFA with ICG could lead to a reduction of AL rate after left-sided or low anterior resection with anastomosis for CRC. The FLUOCOL-1 study is the first national, multicenter, single blind, randomized, 2-arm, phase III superiority clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of an AL 90 days post-operation. AL is defined as any anastomotic dehiscence with leakage into the pelvic cavity diagnosed upon imaging or at surgical exploration or any isolated pelvic organ-space infection with no evidence of fistula as defined by the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer. The study population will be made of adult patients with left-sided or high rectal cancer scheduled to undergo elective left colectomy or high rectal resection (by open, laparoscopy or robotic surgery) and with expected stapled or hand-sewn intraperitoneal anastomosis. The exclusion criteria are mainly an emergent surgery; rectal cancer requiring total mesorectal excision and anastomosis expected below the peritoneal reflection; CRC requiring total or subtotal colectomy; CRC requiring transverse colectomy; recurrent CRC and locally advanced colorectal cancer requiring multi-visceral excision. A total of 1010 patients will be necessary (39 patients in each centre during 36 months). An interim analysis for efficacy and futility is scheduled when half of the participants will have been recruited. In case of positive results favoring IOFA, this study would define the use of IOFA as a standard of care in colorectal surgery. At the patient level, a significantly lower rate of AL will reduce hospital stay and stoma rate, and will ensure improved postoperative recovery, faster return to normal activity and better long-term oncologic outcomes.
Physical abuse is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the general child population. There are no data specific to the French child care and protection systems, and very few studies have examined the optimality of protective measures following a diagnosis of child physical abuse. the investigators propose to conduct a confidential, prospective, population-based study, in order to assess the frequency of suboptimal care, to describe the typology of suboptimal care, to assess the immediate consequences of suboptimal care on the health of the child, and to identify the determinants of suboptimal care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of CC-95251 alone and in combination with antineoplastic agents in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia and relapsed or refractory and treatment-naive higher risk melodysplastic syndromes.
Mindfulness meditation is an approach that has shown interest in treatment of anxiety in Parkinson's disease. This pilot study aims to assess a more specific effect on tremor using Essential Tremor Embarrassment Assessment and inertial sensors allowing monitoring during sessions and in daily life. This study will focus on 20 patients (10 with and without Mindfulness based intervention and will aim to develop the interface and demonstrate proof of concept before setting up a controlled study
In this prospective study, the investigators will implement a systematic assessment of adherence to diuretics in a cohort of patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension. This study is designed to: - determine the overall adherence rates for diuretic regimen - determine the determinants of non-adherence to diuretics - assess the risk of PH worsening occurrence in the non-adhesion group
The unique importance of human brain development during the first years of life is unquestionable. During an infant's first year, the brain undergoes its most dramatic structural and functional changes, with factors such as early social experience having a significant effect on this development. This study proposes to investigate changes in both brain and behavior across the first 12 months of life. At three time points (~3, 6, and 12 month), anatomical and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), eye tracking, and observational data will be obtained from the same sample of infants. These measures will be used to track the development of important sensorimotor, socio-emotional, and cognitive skills and their underlying neural correlates, as well as investigate the effects of early social experience on specific aspects of this development
