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 mechanical intervention is treating secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) which may be performed using the standard open surgical approach or transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER). The key question of this study is to establish the difference in left ventricular reverse remodeling after adjustment for death, as assessed by means of the left ventricular end-systolic dimension(LVESD), all-cause and cause-specific (cardiac vs noncardiac) mortality in patients who received the TEER vs the standard surgical procedure for SMR.
A Randomized Study of ALG-055009 Drug to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Doses in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects with Hyperlipidemia
In December 2019, a new pandemic emerged, the COVID-19 disease caused by a SARS-Cov-2 virus. One of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 is mainly respiratory failure and patients requires assistance by mechanical ventilation. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a risk of this assistance. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Standard of care have evolved with new data. The prevalence of these VAPs seems significantly higher in the population of patients with ARDS COVID-19 (40-50%) and their ecology seems to have evolved over time, particularly in terms of bacterial resistance. Investigators want to describe and compare this evolution of bacterial and fungal ecology as well as identify potential risk factors that may be associated with these changes in ecology during different waves.
The study aims to investigate the effect of Philips Ambient Experience with specially designed paediatric content on the experience of pediatric patients undergoing an MRI examination, their caregiver, and clinical staff, on workflow and on clinical outcome. The designed paediatric content exists of personal selection of a character, video projection on the wall and/or a screen visible when in the bore, audio, and room ambience lighting. The study will be conducted in collaboration with six partner hospitals within the EU. At each hospital, 50 pediatric patients between 6 and 12 years old will be included in the study.
The SPRING project intends to develop a social assistance robot, called ARI, capable of interacting with several users (patients, families) in noisy and busy hospital environments to inform, guide and entertain them and to support care workers in these environments. The AP-HP researchers participating in the SPRING project wish to evaluate human-robot interactions in a day care hospital and in particular the acceptability and the uses of the robot.
This exploratory study will focus on the development of the analyses of blood biomarkers to better understand the circulating biomarkers associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment efficacy and progressive disease
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the study drug, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG), versus docetaxel in participants with advanced or metastatic (cancer that has spread) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare autoimmune disease (incidence <1/100,000 population) responsible for the destruction of red blood cells by the host immune system, notably through the action of autoantibodies. Apart from complications related to anemia, the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population is frequent, estimated at 20-27%. The risk of VTE is highest during the period of hemolysis, especially during the first 3 months after the diagnosis of AIHA. This risk is 7.5 [4.7; 12.0] times greater than in the general population. No clinical predictive factor for VTE was identified and the usual factors (cancer, previous VTE, bed rest >3 days, surgery, age >70 years, heart or respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, obesity, hormone replacement therapy) were not considered. Several biological risk factors have been suggested (depth of anemia, bilirubin level, leukocyte count, antiphospholipid antibodies) but have not been confirmed in other studies. AIHA is therefore a risk factor for VTE in its own right, and the National Diagnostic and Care Protocol (NDCP) recommends the implementation of VTE prevention during acute hemolysis (Grade C). However, the value of this prophylaxis has never been prospectively evaluated and its duration is empirical. In practice, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is generally used during "flare-ups" of AIHA (diagnosis and relapse) in hospitalized patients, but is rarely continued beyond the hospital phase when VTE also occurs in ambulatory patients. Thus, we hypothesize that prolonged preventive anticoagulation during the 12-week risk period following diagnosis or relapse of AIHA could decrease the incidence of VTE. In orthopedic surgery, this strategy has been proven to decrease VTE from 50% to 10-15%. In certain high-risk medical situations, prolonged prophylaxis with apixaban has been shown to decrease the occurrence of VTE from 10.2% to 4.2% in solid cancers4 and from 4-11% to 2% in myeloma.
This study is about the assessment of two oral telemedecine tools compared to an intra oral clinical examination used as a reference among elderly persons living in nursing home. Our hyposthesis is that the diagnostic performance of the two devices will be similar. The main goal of the study is to assess the performances of two intra-oral cameras compared to an intra oral clinical examination to detect at least one decayed tooth. The secondary objectives of this study are : At patient's level: 1. To assess the performances of two intra-oral cameras types compared to an intra oral clinical examination for detecting each of the following conditions: (i) at least one filled tooth, (ii) at least one missing tooth, (iii) gingivitis, (iv) an abscess, (v) dental plaque and (vi) calculous 2. To assess the concordance between each intra oral cameras and the intra oral clinical examination in the evaluation of the number (i) of decayed teeth, (ii) filled teeth and (iii) missing tooth 3. From video acquisitions of each intra oral cameras, to assess the inter-observer concordance for the diagnostic of each dental pathologies (presence of at least one decayed tooth, filled or missing) and periodontal (presence of gingivitis, abscess, dental plaque or scale) 4. From video acquisitions of each intra oral cameras, to assess the inter-observer agreement of the number of teeth: (i) decayed, (ii) filled and (ii) missing At tooth level : 5. To assess the performances of two intra-oral cameras types compared to an intra oral clinical examination for detecting each of the following conditions: (i) a cavity, (ii) a filled tooth and (iii) missing tooth In all patients : 6. To assess patient's feelings about the use of each intra oral cameras 7. To compare the time required for video acquisitions between each of intra oral cameras For patients with dental or periodontal pathologies observed during the intra oral examination: 8 To assess, 2 months after initial evaluation, the proportion of patients attended dental or periodontal care and for which an appointment with a dentist has been scheduled
Skin melanoma is a common form of skin cancer. Its diagnosis is usually clinically suspected and then affirmed by histopathological examination. In some cases, the histopathological analysis of these lesions is equivocal, and the malignant or benign nature of the proliferation is difficult to determine with certainty. In these cases, the use of expensive ancillary tests, which are hardly accessible and take a long time to set up (FISH - CGH-array), is usually required. Anti-PRAME immunostaining, an inexpensive and readily available technic, has recently been described as highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing malignant melanocytic proliferations. Knowledge on its utility for evaluating ambiguous melanocytic neoplasms remains limited. Our study aims to improve the current body of knowledge on the utility of PRAME immunohistochemistry for evaluating challenging samples of melanocytic proliferation. The secondary objective is to determine the PRAME immunoreactivity profile for each histological subtype of melanocytic proliferations (spitzoid tumors, cellular blue nevi, dysplastic nevi ...)
