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 investigators don't know yet how the nose and the brain decode the smells. Scientific studies in neuroscience have shown that people who have tumors may have changes in the smell of secretions. Dogs are extremely efficient at detecting these changes, even before imaging studies. A review of the recent literature shows the different work done on the diagnosis of dogs on human pathologies, especially oncology. It is now known that the smell of exhaled gases is representative of the intestinal biotope and that a large number of pathologies are related to the type of microbial populations that inhabit the intestines. Copying the olfactory organs could thus be of major interest for the early diagnosis of pathologies. More and more works are interested in the diagnostic power of electronic noses. From a technical point of view, these are nano-sensors that mimic the olfactory receptors from the breath gas of the subjects. They analyze the molecules present and compare them with a database to establish a diagnosis according to a probabilistic algorithm. The use of exhaled air for the diagnosis of cancerous pathologies has already been the subject of scientific work. A classification using the SVM (support vector machine) method using data from 320 sensors made it possible to differentiate patients with lung cancer from controls in 98.8% of cases. The differential diagnosis of obstructive bronchopneumopathy was also very well done in this same study. Another study shows equally encouraging results, highlighting sensitivities and specificities above 80%.
This study consists of two parts. Part A will evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of OXB-102 (AXO-Lenti-PD) in participants with Parkinson's disease. Part B will assess the safety and efficacy of the selected dose of OXB-102 in participants with Parkinson's disease.
As part of the regular rehabilitation program for chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, the addition of dynamic eccentric endurance (ECC) exercise sessions to the conventional concentric cycling program (CON) would enable greater gains in functional capacity that the CON alone. Furthermore, in the case of severe heart failure, results of conventional exercise rehabilitation remains limited on account of the poor physical fitness and deconditioning. Dynamic ECC has been shown to enhance muscle mass and improve muscle strength in subjects with functional limitations comparable to those in CHF, but to date reports on effects on muscle endurance and overall functional capacity remain scarce or non-existent. Investigator hypothesize that a combination of these two types of training will allow both an improvement in strength and oxidative muscle capacities. These benefits must be objectified at the level of the walking distance covered in 6 min (6-WT).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of bumetanide/S95008 in the improvement of Autism Spectrum Disorder core symptoms.

Akinesia is one of the most prominent symptom in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. It typically consists in a inability to initiate voluntary movement, and it affects patients' quality of life. This study aims at exploring the influence of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in the quality of motor control, and particularly of voluntary movement initiation, and its neural correlates. They will be evaluated using behavioral and motor tasks together with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and electrophysiology (EMG and EEG).
The aim of this open-label (OL) extension trial is to study the long-term safety and efficacy of macitentan in subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) beyond the treatment in the double-blind parent SERENADE study (AC-055G202, NCT03153111). Furthermore, this OL extension study will give eligible subjects of the main study (SERENADE/AC-055G202, NCT03153111) an opportunity to continue or start receiving macitentan.
Endovascular revascularization has revolutionized the field of vascular surgery and has become the first-choice treatment for peripheral arteries occlusive disease. However, the drawback of this technic is the X-ray exposure for both patients and staff and the iodinated contrast injection for the patient. One way to reduce both radiation and contrast use is to use advanced imaging techniques allowing an overlay of a 3D vascular mask (from a pre-operative CT scan) onto the live X-ray image. This has been proven during endovascular aneurysm repair. This advanced imaging application is currently available only in the latest expensive hybrid operating rooms, requires additional manoeuvre from the operator throughout the procedure, and may be X-rays and contrast consuming. This trial will examine the clinical benefits based on patient and staff' radiation exposure during aorto-iliac revascularisation, of a new software imaging guidance, suitable for any theatre including those equipped with mobile C-arm, fully automated and with a radiation free overlay registration process.
The main objective of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy and safety of cobomarsen (also known as MRG-106) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype. Cobomarsen is designed to inhibit the activity of a molecule called miR-155 that may be important to the growth and survival of MF cancer cells. The study will compare the effects of cobomarsen to vorinostat, a drug that has been approved for the treatment of CTCL in the United States and several other countries. Participants in the clinical trial will be randomly assigned to receive either weekly doses of cobomarsen by injection into a vein or daily oral doses of vorinostat. Participants will continue on their assigned treatment as long as there is no evidence of progression of their cancer. The effects of treatment will be measured based on changes in skin lesion severity, as well as the length of time that the subject's disease remains stable or improved, without evidence of disease progression. The safety and tolerability of cobomarsen will be assessed based on the frequency and severity of observed side effects. Participants assigned to receive vorinostat who experience progression of their disease during their participation in this study may have the option to be treated with cobomarsen in an open-label, crossover arm of the same study if they meet the entry criteria for that part of the study.
Rugby players are often exposed to destabilisation of the upper cervical spine.This kind of trauma may lead to dramatic injuries, due to lesion of spinal cord. CerviStab© is a device which evaluate the bio-mechanical and neuromuscular behavior of the upper cervical spine in rugby situation. The aim of this study, is to evaluate the dynamic stabilization of the upper cervical spine in reaction to unexpected impact.
