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 France, the Direction of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics, in their 2015 report on "Chronic pain: the state of health of the population in France - Indicators associated with the Public health ", shows that 34.6% of the working population declare themselves to be facing psycho-social risks, including chronic pain disorders. The main survey conducted in France on chronic pain showed that 32% of French people expressed daily pain for more than 3 months, with 20% reporting chronic pain of moderate or severe intensity. According to a report by the HAS in 2009, about 30% of patients consulting for pain in pain center (CETD) are working and 20% are on sick leave or work-related accidents. Chronic pain would also be responsible in France for the limitation of professional activities in 6% of 25-64 year olds, 15% job losses, 12% changes in work responsibilities, 12% changes in employment and 18 % of associated depressions. In addition, 40% of chronic pain patients experienced a direct impact at work: loss, change in responsibilities and activity. Combined with the difficulty of understanding and thus treating chronic pain, these data demonstrate the challenge faced by occupational health services in their preventive, curative and palliative approach to chronic pathologies. Innovation for any new prevention and therapy for chronic pain then becomes necessary. The main objective of this first study will be the evaluation of the prevalence of pain disorders among the employees of French furniture shop. .
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS) previously treated with single-arm, open-label levoketoconazole that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of levoketoconazole.
Multicenter study comparing paroxetine (n=30) versus thermal cure (n=30) in patients with a diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorders
The purpose of this study is to show that subcutaneous (SC) administration of daratumumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Dara SC) is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab (Dara IV) in terms of the overall response rate (ORR) and maximum trough concentration (Ctrough).
Growth of healthy term formula-fed infants who receive a single feeding regimen consisting of an existing partially hydrolyzed starter formula, then subsequently fed a partially hydrolyzed follow-up formula over the first year of life.
Since its first description in 1971, diagnosing adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), a rare multisystemic disorder considered as a multigenic autoinflammatory syndrome, remains challenging. Rarely, AOSD may present severe systemic manifestations and require intensive care. The main purpose of the Stil ICU study is to make the first description of the epidemiology of critically ill AOSD patients. The investigators will use a retrospective cohort study design with dual recruitment strategies: (1) via the AOSD referral centres network and (2) via a French academic medical ICU network.
This study is a multicenter phase II trial which primary objective is to assess the anti-lymphoma activity of atezolizumab associated with a BCL-2 inhibitor (GDC-199, venetoclax) and an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (obinutuzumab) in three separate cohorts: - relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) patients - relapsed/refractory aggressive (DLBCL) lymphoma patients - relapsed/refractory other indolent (iNHL) lymphoma patients (MZL and MALT)
Patients with an immunochemical fecal test positive, have to undergo a colonoscopy. Around 10% doesn't realize the colonoscopy. This study evaluate the impact of a motivational phone call (given by a doctor) to improve colonoscopy participation. And try to understand why this patients don't want to make this examination.
The pharmacist, as a specialist of medications, occupies a strategic position: he participates in a global care of their patients. Dispensation is the pharmaceutical act which associates with the dispensing of medications "the pharmaceutical analysis of the medical prescription if it exists, the possible preparation of the doses to be administered and the provisions of the information and advices necessary for the proper use of medications". The pharmacist ensures that the quality and safety of the dispensation is guaranteed at all times by limiting as far as possible the risks associated with an error in delivery, prescription, drug interactions or undetected contraindications, inadequate dosages or non-compliance with treatment. The longer the patient feels satisfied with the stage of delivery of his treatment, the better his adherence to treatment is, and the less he will encounter poor compliance. Oncology has particularly benefited in recent years from the introduction of numerous drugs with the aim of extending the duration of response in a growing number of indications. Traditionally in oncology, chemotherapy treatments are administered intravenously by trained personnel and rarely managed by the patient at home. Recently, there has been a growing choice of oral formulations, whether for conventional hormonal, anticancer therapies or targeted therapies. These specialties are now widely available in community pharmacies. Oral administration puts the patient at the center of his therapeutic management. He must take his medication alone. Adherence and compliance are therefore particularly important here for an optimal risk-benefit ratio. This study project is designed to evaluate the satisfaction of patients undergoing oral chemotherapy treated for a cancer pathology and whose treatment is provided by their community pharmacies. It also needs to provide information about the reasons for their poor adherence to treatment (personal factors, factors attributable to treatment, factors attributable to the care system). Patients will be recruited and interviewed by contacting several departments of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital (CHU de Clermont-Ferrand), who are used to caring for patients with cancerous diseases (hematology, urology, respiratory, gastro-enterology). The data collected in this study may be used for subsequent studies evaluating new management strategies or therapeutic education to improve adherence to patient treatment.
Identification of new retention solutes associated with cardiovascular (CV) toxicity in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients will help to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms at stake and to prevent CKD-associated mortality and morbidity. For a molecule to be defined as a toxic retention solute, plasma accumulation in the course of CKD has to be demonstrated but also proof needs to be made that plasma accumulation during CKD is indeed associated with an increased risk of CV complications. Moreover, precise determination of the plasma concentration has to be performed in order to later study in vitro and in vivo the toxic mechanisms involved. Based on previous results of plasma proteome analysis using mass spectrometry, a previous study has selected 10 promising protein candidates. These proteins accumulated in the plasma of patients during CKD progression and are known to be associated with CV events in non-CKD patients. The objective of the present study is now to 1) evaluate the association of the plasma accumulation of the 10 retention solutes with CV complications in CKD patients and 2) determine their plasma concentration using ELISA. One hundred and seventy six patients with advanced CKD will be included and divided in 2 groups: 44 patients with history of CV complications in the past 4 years and 132 patients free of any CV complications.
