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 focuses on post-traumatic growth (positive changes linked to appreciation of life, personal strengths, social relationships...) in the context of different types of cancer and with a longitudinal approach to the care pathway. The aim of the study is to better understand whether psychological variables (emotional competence, psychological flexibility, psychological distress) and patients' care satisfaction, assessed at the start of the cancer treatment pathway, can influence their post-traumatic growth at the end of the chemotherapy protocol and 6 months later.
Randomized, non-comparative, open-label, multi-centre Phase II study to evaluate modified FOLFIRINOX and modified FOLFOX in the locally advenced or metastatic small bowel adenocarcinoma. The primary objective is to assess the percentage of patients alive without prograssion at 8 months.
ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial infarction (STEMI) corresponding to acute occlusion of cornary artery is the most severe ischemic myocardial disease and a leading cause of mortality of heart failure worldwide. Although acute mortality from STEMI has decreased over the last decades, the prognosis remains pejorative and difficult to anticipate. The best management of STEMI patients depends of predictive factors of clinical prognosis and justifies an active research of these factors, in particular the mechanisms leading to deleterious left ventricular remodeling, myocardial inflammation, reperfusion injury including the no-reflow phenomenon which is a major determinant of heart failure. Cohorts of consecutive STEMI patients, with a comprehensive assessment of clinical, biological and imaging parameters are needed to offer the basis for new hypothese for research or interventions and to precisely evaluate the quality of care provided. The main objective of this study is to identify new markers: clinical, biological and imaging, treatment response and prognosis after STEMI. Secondary objectives of the CARAMBOLE cohort are to establish a comprehensive clinical databse, completed with biological samples and imaging data, that can be used in the following areas: - Descriptive epidemiology of STEMI and myocardial reperfusion - Evaluation of the clinical implications of the realization of a cardiac MRI at the acute phase of STEMI (regarding no-reflow, LVEF, intra cardiac thrombi) - Treatments observatory: safety, efficacy, indication of treatments provided in real life compared to the treatments recommended, adherence to treatments, costs - Quality of life, personal, familial, social and professional consequences of myocardial infarction - Research of new diagnostic and prognosis biomarkers - Research projects (e.g risk of developping cgnitive disorders in patients with STEMI as compared to the general population) Participants will undergo: - a cardiac MRI at the acute phase of their STEMI (5 +/- 3 days) then at 1 year follow-up - biological samples including blood, urinary and feces samples, at the acute phase of their STEMI (from admission and up to 8 days) then at 1 year follow-up - questionnaire assessment regarding their quality of life, cognitive status,and socio-economic conditions at the acute phase and 1 year follow-up of their STEMI.
Moesin deficiency was initially described in 7 male participants aged 4 to 69 years and is characterized by lymphopenia of the 3 lineages and moderate neutropenia. Genetically, 6 out of 7 participants had the same missense mutation in the moesin gene located on the X chromosome. The 7th patient has a mutation leading to the premature introduction of a STOP codon into the protein.Clinically the 7 participants with X-linked moesin-associated immunodeficiency all presented with recurrent bacterial infections of the respiratory, gastrointestinal or urinary tracts, and some had severe varicella.Therapeutically, in the absence of a molecular diagnosis and due to his SCID-like phenotype, one patient was treated with geno-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation . The remaining are untreated or treated with immunoglobulin substitution and/or prophylactic antibiotics. Since this study, the moesin gene has been integrated into DNA chips used for the molecular diagnosis of immune deficiencies in several countries. Physicians in Canada, the United States, Japan, South Africa and Europe have contacted us with a total of 16 known participants to date. Because of their very low severe, uncontrolled CMV infection and the absence of treatment recommendations, two 2 American participants were treated with allogeneic transplantation with severe post-transplant complications (1), and one of the participants died as a result of the transplant. Management of XMAID participants therefore varies widely from country to country, depending on age at diagnosis and clinical picture. It ranges from no treatment treatment (associated with recurrent infections and skin manifestations), IgIv substitution and/or antibiotic prophylaxis antibiotic prophylaxis, with low toxicity and apparent efficacy, and allogeneic transplantation, with all the risks risks involved (graft-related toxicity, graft versus host, disease, rejection, risk of infection). The Investigators therefore feel it is important to review the diagnosis, clinical presentation and management of X-MAID participants. The study the investigator propose will enable to understand the presentation of X-MAID participants, establish guidelines and provide the best treatment for each patient according to his or her clinical picture
There is no cure for cold or flu, most people recover in about within two weeks. Paracetamol may be used to reduce aches or treat fever, headache, or body aches. Antiviral solutions ranging from simple universal saline solutions to novel compounds have been proposed to provide a temporary barrier to prevent viral infection and propagation. The nasal spray "Humer Stop Virus" is indicated in patients presented with early symptoms of viral respiratory infection. This spray forms a protective barrier in the nasal mucosa which is the main entry of the upper air respiratory system viruses. The spray traps the viruses and helps the organism to eliminate them before they multiply themselves. This clinical investigation is conducted to assess the performance, clinical benefit and safety of this nasal spray in patients with early symptoms of acute respiratory disease whether or not infection is related to common cold, flu or COVID virus. Indeed, presence of early symptoms of acute respiratory infection does not always imply viral infectionAntigen self-tests are available to confirm viral infection with flu viruses or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). However, influenza and other winter viruses are not systematically searched for in general population, because this is of neither collective nor individual interest. To be as pragmatic as possible, we chose to assess performance and safety of the nasal spray on intended users in real conditions. Patients with early symptoms of cold, flu or COVID, are enrolled regardless their PCR test positivity confirming viral infection at the time of enrollment. For study needs, the primary endpoint, which aims to assess the performance of the nasal spray in terms of stopping the viral infection, is assessed in a subgroup of patients with a positive PCR test with flu, COVID or common cold virus in the nasal sample collected at enrollment.
Normalizing weight gain and preventing the redistribution of body fat is a major health issue, and could help prevent the onset of various symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Above all, it is important to understand the mechanisms by which these different treatments affect adipose tissue. To this end, the investigators will first study the impact of GLP-1 analogues on adipose tissue. The main objective is to show that subjects treated with a GLP-1 agonist have a significant change in their oxytocin levels compared with subjects not treated with a GLP-1 agonist.
This study aims to identify physiopathologic mechanisms related to surgical approaches during lobectomies for non-small cell lung cancer which can explain the better quality of life and the decrease of of post-operative complications in minimally invasive techniques (video-assisted thoracic surgery and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery) compared to conventional thoracotomy.
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in immunocompromised patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). This phase II, multicenter, single-arm study includes patients with an underlying cause of immunosuppression hardly reversible, i.e. not the patients with HIV nor those receiving biologics for chronic inflammatory diseases. Patients will receive intravenous pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg, maximum 200 mg) at month 0, 1 and 2 (total of three doses). The primary endpoint will be achieving at least one negative result of JCV viral load in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the M0 to M3 period.
In this study the investigators wish to describe the cohort of pediatric patients suffering from neuroblastoma and treated with Dinutuximab and to compare the costs and quality of life between the two French centers, the University Hospital of Strasbourg (HUS) and the Oncopole of Toulouse.
The measurement of magnetic fields emitted by cardiac activity has already been studied in magneto-cardiography. To date, however, this technology has never been evaluated in the peripheral circulation. The magnetic susceptibility of iron in the circulating blood and the ionic currents in the blood stream generate a very weak induced magnetic current, which can be detected by the micro-sensor of the prototype investigators wish to study. Proving the validity of this prototype would make it a new diagnostic and even prognostic tool, non-invasive, less costly and more accessible than Doppler for screening peripheral arterial disease.
