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.
To date measuring the effect of dermocosmetic products on the main identified factors of aging and alteration of the skin barrier is based on invasive and expensive experiments. Electrochemistry enables to measure a specific signal for a substance of interest e.g. Vitamin C using an surface contact with an electrode. Therefore, this study will evaluate the reliability and feasibility of measurements of skin's hydration parameters such as NMF and squalene using electrochemistry. These study will be made on three groups of individuals with different skin types: dry skin i.e. atopic dermatitis patients, oily skin i.e. acne skin and a control group of individual without facial dermatosis. Collects of parameters of interest will be made by using patch using electrochemistry (contact with an electrode and potentiostat to detect an electric signal) . It is a simple method that relies on a sensor / electrode pair that allows a study of the surface molecules of the skin. Application in the measurement of vitamin C in food products has already been validated. On a second hand, a collect by chromatography of the parameters of interest will be carried out in order to compare the new method with the reference method. This procedure has been developed via a procedure including collecting surface parameters using a patch an developping special electrodes and miniaturized detecting signal tool (potentiostat)
Intro: Necrotizing and soft tissue infections (NSTI) are life-threatening bacterial infections characterized by subcutaneous tissue, fascia or muscle necrosis. The hospital mortality of NSTI is high, comprised between 20 and 30%. NSTIs represent the 4th cause of septic shock. Early management of NSTIs requires a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach, including broad-spectrum antibiotic administration, management of organ failures and aggressive surgical debridement with excision of all necrotic and infected tissues. NSTIs involve the lower limbs in about 70% of cases and lead in 15% of cases to limb amputation. During the early post-operative phase, daily wound care is required using conventional dressings. As soon as the infectious process is controlled, typically within 7 to 10 days of the initial debridement, the main goal of wound dressing is to allow for a granulation tissue to develop so that to perform a skin grafting. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), which consists in applying a negative pressure on the wound surface, may be used to this effect. A dedicated dressing is connected to a device that generates a negative pressure and collects exudates. NPWT may have a positive effect on wound healing by removing exudate, increasing regional perfusion and patient comfort and reducing infections. Beneficial effects of NPWT have been suggested by case series. However, no randomized controlled trial are currently available to adequately assess its efficiency and the 2014 guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) on NSTI did not provide recommendations regarding NPWT use for managing NSTI wounds. The study's hypothesis is that in patients managed for NSTIs, NPWT: 1) may accelerate skin grafting and complete wound healing; and 2) improve functional outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended dosing with Eplontersen in participants with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Gene Therapy of the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) caused by mutations in the human DCLRE1C gene (Artemis) by transplantation of a single dose of autologous CD34+ cells transduced ex vivo with the G2ARTE lentiviral vector expressing the DCLRE1C cDNA.
The study aims to better understand the functioning of the heart of children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa or obesity, compared to the heart function of control subject. This project seeks to find out if a weight disorder affects the heart and whether a systematic cardiac assessment with appropriate management is then to be considered. To meet this objective, several analyzes are planned including a speckle tracking echocardiography, allowing a non-invasive study of myocardial deformations. The hypothesis is that two opposite weight disorders (anorexia nervosa and obesity) lead to similar complications: inflammation, fibrosis altering the myocardial structure and therefore its contractility. Both systolic and diastolic dysfunction appear. Investigator hypothesize that the determinants of this dysfunction involve part of the alteration of body mass, and partly qualitative alterations specific to each pathology.
To assess the neurocognitive outcomes in patients treated with chemotherapy for a malignant bone tumor during childhood and adolescence and the factors associated with neurocognitive impairment and/or complaints
The main objective of the study is to assess the oral health-related quality of life of patients with rare diseases and followed in the rare disease centers of expertise at Necker Hospital in Paris by semi-structured interviews.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in the pediatric population worldwide. Age at the time of infection, prematurity, multiparity, exposure to smoke and the level of passive immunity transmitted at birth are the main risk factors for lower respiratory infection associated with RSV. Other factors, including the innate immune response, respiratory microbiota, and intra-host viral heterogeneity, may also affect outcomes but are not fully considered in RSV infection. Exploring the impact of these factors is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the population which makes statistical adjustment difficult. Thus, twin models are useful in understanding the impact of the host on the environment, as twins often share similar exposure to infection and many risk factors, but not all are ie different prenatal and postnatal conditions, differential transfer of maternal antibodies and the genetic makeup of heterozygotes.
A better understanding of the Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder would allow a management as close as possible to the specificities of this one, but also a better training of professionals and adapted therapeutic indications.
This is a multicentric, prospective, observational, transversal study, aiming to evaluate the health literacy of cancer patients using the approved French version of the Functional, Communicative and Critical Health Literacy (FCCHL) scale in 2 populations: - Population A: patients age 65 and over treated in an oncology or oncogeriatric outpatient clinic, or seen in an oncology or oncogeriatric consultation. - Population B: young patients age 18 to 64 treated in an oncology or outpatient clinic, or seen in an oncology consultation. The following questionnaires: - Approved French version of the FCCHL scale - Questionnaire on the use of digital tools adapted from the questionnaire on digital tools, will be completed once only. It will be completed by the participant during the oncology or oncogeriatric consultation or outpatient clinic appointment, in self-questionnaire mode or face to face, assisted if necessary by a family member or member of the medical team.
