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.
APERITIF is a prospective randomized open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) trial, nested in the ongoing the "FRENCHIE" registry, a French multicenter prospective observational study granted by "ANR-RHU Grand Emprunt", in which all consecutive patients admitted within 48 hours after symptom onset in a cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are included (NCT04050956). Among them, eligible Patients for "APERITIF" will be randomized into two groups: Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) alone or DAPT plus rivaroxaban 2.5mg twice daily for 4 weeks, prescribed as soon as possible after admission and completion of the initial percutaneous coronary intervention/angiography procedure.
The neurological disorders that accompany aging represent a major public health problem. The management of these diseases is a major medical and social priority. This project is based on the assumption that the oral cavity represents a privileged observation space to address these issues. The mouth is a site of easy access for painless sampling; there is therefore a major interest in identifying early oral infectious markers of the development or evolution of senile dementia. In addition to the interest of an early oral diagnosis, the mapping of the oral microbial flora in the demented elderly would allow a better understanding, prevention or even control of the evolution of neurodegenerative diseases. The final objective of our approach is to characterize the oral pathogens, or more probably the group of oral pathogens, which are significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
The extubation phase is a risky period of anesthesia management. During this step, serious complications can arise: hypoxemia, laryngospasm, pharyngeal obstruction, pneumonia… In spite of these complications, extubation and its impact on respiratory function, particularly on the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), remains poorly studied because of the difficulty to make bedside measurements. The PulmoVista 500 is a clinical routine which provide effective non-invasive bedside measurements. It would be interesting to evaluate the impact of extubation on respiratory function, and more specifically FRC changes during and after extubation. This study will allow a better physiopathological knowledge and a quality improvement patient extubation management.
To collect post-marketing data on Juvéderm® VOLIFT™ with Lidocaine on the following indications: 1. Marionette lines (treatment skin depressions) 2. Forehead contouring (face contouring)
Surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis requires decompression of the narrow lumbar canal and fixation by osteosynthesis-arthrodesis. Conventional surgery is done through the open route. For 10-15 years, minimally invasive techniques have been established, allowing faster postoperative recovery for the patient. The downside to these techniques is the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy. This is why surgical navigation systems have been developed, allowing safe positioning of implants (pedicle screws). A new process (augmented reality navigation) has been tested in vitro and applied in open surgery. The HUS were the first establishment to apply this new method in minimally invasive surgery in a hybrid room of surgery and interventional radiology.
Emergency departments have been placed at the heart of the patient triage strategy during the COVID-19 epidemic. In the absence of scientific knowledge on the most efficient strategy to put in place in emergency structures, the centers have proposed very heterogeneous protocols resulting from collaboration with local radiology and virology teams. While the pandemic in France appears to be currently under control, it is important to assess the sorting strategies put in place to deal with a new epidemic.
The occurrence of renal failure during severe forms of COVID-19 is common (20-35% of patients treated in intensive care) and associated with an unfavorable short-term prognosis, but the medium-term renal outcome is not is not known. The aim of the study is to establish the frequency of chronic kidney failure after AKI KDIGO 2 and 3 occurring during severe COVID-19 in intensive care.
The fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii is responsible for pneumocystosis (PcP), a life threatening pneumonia in patients undergoing HSCT. The spontaneous attack rate of 16% within the first 6 months following allogeneic HSCT reported in the 1980's has considerably decreased with prophylaxis. However, PcP still remains a concern in the transplant ward with an incidence rate up to 2.5% in allo- and 1.4% in autologous HSCT but up to 7.2% on low dose of Dapsone. The mortality of PcP is especially high in HSCT recipients. One of the main factors of PcP after HSCT seems to be either the lack of TMP-SMX prophylaxis (all the other prophylactic drugs being inferior to TMP-SMX), or poor compliance to prophylaxis. Due to the rarity of the disease after HSCT, it is impossible to study it in monocenter studies, except on very long periods of time which may not reflect current practice. Several questions deserve investigations in a multicenter study, about timing, risk factors, and outcome. Moreover, some European laboratories involved in the diagnosis of PcP have already given up to classical diagnostic methods and switched to qPCR. This implies that lower fungal burden can be detected and the clinical pertinence of such a diagnostic strategy deserves to be assessed.
For many reasons, medical monitoring in autistic patients is very difficult. This study is designed to determine the prevalence of comorbid diseases (neurological, cardiac, digestive, dental diseases…) in patients suffering from ASD to prevent them or diagnose them earlier.
In this context, FSK would like to implement a clinical study to assess the added value on the health-related QoL from the enhanced follow-up of ostomy patients by a HHN including stomal therapists. The interventional group will benefit from delivery and enhanced follow-up by the FSK HHN provided, in particular, by stomal therapy nurse consultants and patient-relation experts during in-person or remote appointments in addition to the routine care delivered and prescribed by the sites. The control group will receive the routine care prescribed by the sites and will be provided with ostomy equipment by FSK.
