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.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients is a defined by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. It is associated with an atrophy of the skeletal muscle that impairs the patient's prognosis. The biological mechanisms of this muscle atrophy have not been elucidated, and the "spill-over theory" has recently emerged. Indeed, in COPD patients, the pulmonary inflammation is associated with a systemic low-grade inflammation, and the increased pro-inflamatory molelcules in the blood - which constitute the cellular micro-environement of the muscle fibre - could activate the mechanisms of the cell atrophy.
The aim of the THEIA study is to determine if Alteplase administrated within 4.5 hours improve visual deficit due to acute CRAO with a good safety profile.
In order to understand how the intestinal microbiota plays a role in the effectiveness of an anti-cancer treatment by an immune control point inhibitor, this study aims to constitute a catalog of microbial genes of a patient with cancer. This catalog will help to characterize the intestinal microbiota of cancer patients and to be able to use this catalog as a reference tool for screening the microbiota of patients treated with immune control point inhibitors. To produce this catalog, five types of cancer were selected: non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and prostate cancer. The metagenomic analysis of a group of five different types of cancers introduces a lot of heterogeneity which is favorable to the richness of a catalog. For non-small cell lung cancer treated with immune control point inhibitors, two stool collections will be performed per patient (one stool collection before setting up an immune control point inhibitor and one collection after one month of being inhibited Of immune control point) to assess the impact of the immune control point inhibitor on the microbiota (pilot study). For this study, two stool collection tubes containing different preservative solutions will be used (one RNAlater tube and one DMSO-EDTA tube for Dimethylsulfoxide-Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). In parallel, we will also collect samples of serum and plasma to evaluate, in a second step, protein markers in circulating blood.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy of concizumab administered s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin) once daily in preventing bleeding episodes in patients with severe haemophilia A without inhibitors.
Oral anticancer treatments are increasingly numerous. They represent an additional alternative in the therapeutic arsenal of the clinician, and appear to satisfy patients who prefer this route of administration over intravenous treatment. The objective of oral therapies is twofold: to remove the constraints and risks associated with infusions and to allow the patient to follow his treatment at home. However, they have significant adverse effects that may affect patients, who are sometimes at a disadvantage compared to how they are treated, and potentially lead to non-compliance with the consequences. This study will identify the factors associated with non-adherence and determine the impact of this non-adherence in terms of treatment efficacy and tolerance. The aim of this routine care study is to evaluate the adherence to oral anticancer therapies during 3 months.
Raltegravir (RAL) is a very effective antiretroviral drug with a favorable long term tolerability. RAL offers many advantages such as lack of drug-drug interactions, a good safety profile particularly on lipids, inflammation and bone parameters. Ral can be an very interesting for patient with comorbidities and comedications, intolerance or toxicities with their current ARV treatment. However its current formulation of one tablet of 400mg twice a day coul not suit many patients. A new once-a-day formulation of RAL has been developed, with two tablets of 600 mg QD. Pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers has shown that this dosing provides increased RAL exposure compared to the standard formulation of 400 mg given twice a day. The objective of this study is to evaluate the maintain of virologic suppression with raltegravir 600mg 2 tablets qd as part of a triple antiretroviral regimen in virologically controlled patients.
This study aims at assessing the effectiveness of combined suprascapular nerve block (SSNB), infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICB) and supraclavicular nerve block (SCNB) as surgical anesthesia for patients scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The secondary objective is to test the hypothesis that SSNB-ICB-SCNB combination could spare the phrenic nerve.
Chronic pain is a worldwide health problem due to its high prevalence and its difficult management with a significant impact on quality of life. Pain and addiction co-occur frequently. Indeed, the prevalence of addiction in patients with chronic non-cancer pain may affect from 0% to 50% of patients (Højsted et al 2010). This large variability in the estimation of addiction prevalence in chronic non-cancer pain patients is at least partly due to a lack of standardization of the selected patients from the clinical or therapeutic point of view and the lack of consensus in the use of a specific evaluation tool or gold standard. Indeed, several tools are currently available at the international level with varying efficiencies and precisions (Chou et al 2009, Turk, Swanson, and Gatchel 2008, Højsted and Sjøgren 2007). In France, no data are available on the prevalence of analgesic opioid misuse in chronic non-cancer pain patients, due to the lack clinical studies and validated tools in French.
Primary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of isatuximab (also known as SAR650984) and cemiplimab (also known as REGN2810) in patients with relapse/refractory multiple myeloma. - To compare the overall response of the combination of isatuximab and cemiplimab versus isatuximab alone in patients with RRMM based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy as assessed by clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). - To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of isatuximab and cemiplimab when given in combination. - To assess the immunogenicity of isatuximab and cemiplimab when given in combination.
Congenital heart defects are the most frequent manifestation of congenital diseases (8 per 1000 live births). Imaging modalities play an increasing role in their diagnosis, follow-up, and pre/post-surgery check-up. Echocardiography usually provides a first line diagnosis, but Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) also demonstrated its usefulness whenever accurate modelling of anatomic structures is required. CCTA is well defined for adult patients. This is not the case for paediatric population, which rises two main difficulties: - The use of ionising radiation in young subjects involves a very radio-sensitive population, potentially subject to multiple exams during their follow up. - Technical issues related to young patients: No breath-holding, uncontrolled movements during acquisition, very high heart rates (making ECG gating more complex) and very small structures. These conditions usually result in a deteriorated image quality or in radiation dose increase (retrospective gating). These two outcomes are not acceptable for both, clinician and patient. In this study, investigators make the hypothesis that despite difficult conditions stated above, ultra-low dose acquisitions may results in diagnostic quality acquisition, thanks to state of art CT technologies combined with acquisition parameters specially designed for that purpose. Investigators aim to demonstrate feasibility and performances of such exams.
