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.
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterized by alternance of depressive and manic phases, separated by intercritical phases (euthymia). The majority of patients report occupation and professional difficulties. Sixty percent of bipolar patients are inactive . Indeed, according to the World Health Organisation, bipolar disorder is the second cause of days not worked. Several factors are related to the lower professional functioning observed in bipolar patients: early age of onset, delay of diagnosis and treatment, recurrence of thymic episodes, residual symptoms and cognitive disorders during euthymia, side effects of mood stabilizers. To our knowledge, no study has ever focused on well-being at work in French patients. However, suffering from a psychiatric disorder and the lack of support from colleagues and the hierarchy are risk factors for burnout, a growing health issue. Patients with mental illness are often victims of stigmatization, which may involve the professional field. In addition, thymic recurrences may alter professional functioning of active patients: multiplication of work disruptions, conflicts with peers. Conversely work can be stressful, promoting thyic relapses. It is therefore essential to better understand the occupational stresses of active patients suffering from bipolar disorder in order to promote functional remission beyond clinical remission. The aim of this study is to assess the level of stress and well-being at work in active French bipolar patients.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the correlation between DECT and US explorations performed in a routine clinical setting for the measurement of change in tophus size in gout patients after 24 months of treatment.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic rare disease, which alters the adrenal production of gluco and mineralo corticoids. The treatment consists in supplementing children using hydrocortisone. Despite care for these children has improve substantially across decades, short adult height still remains an important consequence of the disease. About 20 % of patients have an AH below 2 standard deviations compared to their expected height. In the OPALE model study, the investigators have collected data from a cohort of 496 French patients, born between 1970 and 1991 and with a known genotype. Using their age, sex, growth, disease, bone maturation and pubertal data, they have built a model which allows to predict their AH using data available at 8 years of age. This model has shown that the currently used formula to calculate the predicted AH (Bayley Pineau's method) is not applicable to children with CAH. In this project, the investigators plan to use the prediction model to compare the AH in patients who have received GH treatment to their predicted AH using the model. The hypothesis is that GH improves the AH in such patients. Existing cohorts have shown improved growth celerity, and growth expectation using the Bayley-Pineau formula), but this has not been shown on the actual AH. This study will allow to reinforce the investigators' hypothesis.
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic rare disease, which alters the adrenal production of gluco and mineralo corticoïds. The treatment consists in supplementing children with hydrocortisone. Despite care for these children has improved substantially across decades, short adult height (AH) still remains an important consequence of the disease. About 20% of patients have an AH below 2 standard deviations compared to their expected AH. In the OPALE-Model study, the investigators want to collect data from a cohort of 496 CAH French patients, born between 1970 and 1991 with a known genotype. Using their age, sex, growth, disease, bone maturation and pubertal data, the investigators will build a model which allows to predict their AH using data available at 8 years of age. The growth charts built from this cohort have shown that currently used formula to calculate the predicted AH (Bayley-Pineau's formula) is not applicable to children with CAH. In this project, the investigators plan to compute an AH prediction model using data from children born between 1970 and 1993, and to validate the model using data from a different cohort (i.e. children born between 1994 and 1998). this choice was due to availability of data for computing the model first, and in a second stage, data from more recently born patients.
This is a phase IIIb randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre, parallel group, 24 week study to assess the efficacy and safety of Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (GFF) fixed-dose combination 7.2/4.8 μg 2 inhalations twice daily compared to Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (UV) 62.5/25 μg fixed-dose combination 1 inhalation once daily in Patients with moderate to very severe COPD.
The main objective of our study was to determine the modifications of blood myostatin and activin A concentrations associated with head and neck cancers. Secondary objectives consisted in studying their influence on the occurrence of cachexia, bringing the proof of a tumoral secretion of these factors, and then determining the effect of tumor removal.
Limitation of donor site and significant postoperative morbidity are often described in connective tissue graft harvesting. We want to show if mucoderm used in tunnel technique to recover miller class I and II recessions defects could be an alternative to connective tissue graft.
AURIGA is designed to collect data from routine clinical practice on the effectiveness and utilization of intravitreal aflibercept in the treatment of visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME) or macula edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). The primary objective of this observational study (OS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal aflibercept in 4 cohorts (with/without prior treatment in DME or macular edema secondary to RVO) in each of the participating countries. Additionally, utilization and treatment regimens in routine clinical practice will be described. Health care resources and services as well as health out-comes related to vision loss will be evaluated based on information collected using the AURIGA patient questionnaires.
The purpose of this Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oral treatment regimen of CC-220 versus placebo in adult subjects with active systemic lupus erythematosus. Approximately 280 subjects with a documented diagnosis of SLE will be randomized 2:2:1:2 to receive CC-220 (0.45 mg QD, 0.3 mg QD or 0.15 mg QD) or identically appearing placebo.
A randomized, multicenter study comparing two strategies: 1 / standard management of systolic blood pressure according to international recommendations (systolic blood pressure <185 mm Hg) versus 2 / intensive blood pressure management Systolic with a target <130 mm Hg.
