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 investigators propose a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of carboplatin monotherapy in the tumor subgroup of metastatic castration-resistant prostatic carcinomas with somatic abnormality in the Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway. This study may also better characterize the molecular abnormalities of tumors required for the carboplatin response
The diagnosis and treatment trajectory of cancer can constitute a traumatic event because these can be perceived as sudden, catastrophic and life threatening. One common mental disorder following traumatic events is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), described as reexperiencing of the event (e.g., having intrusive thoughts), having avoidance of trauma memories, emotional numbing, and experiencing hyperarousal symptoms. To date, and to the best of the investigator's knowledge, few studies have focused on PTSD in advanced cancer, but the existing data show that these patients are at risk for experiencing PTSD symptoms. Among the early interventions for preventing PTSD in people confronted by traumatic events is group debriefing, the retelling of the event, receiving empathy and compassion, and being encouraged to express feelings. However, four meta-analyses found debriefing to be ineffective. A neuroscience-based and evidence-based alternative may be the Memory Structuring Intervention (MSI) that tries to shift trauma processing from a limbic, emotional and somatic level to a frontal-cortical, cognitive and verbal level of processing. The MSI tries to achieve this shift by teaching people confronted with traumatic events to chronologically organize the segments of the event, to verbally label feelings or somatic sensations rather than re-experience them, and to provide causal links between the event's segments and causality to their feelings and sensations Since in males, sympathetic responses were more predictive of PTSD than in females , parasympathetic activation may be needed to be added to the MSI, for men. A main branch of the parasympathetic response is the vagus nerve, whose non-invasive index is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). One way to increase HRV, and thus parasympathetic activation, is through vagal breathing (i.e., deep, paced breathing). Therefore, adding to the MSI deep vagal breathing (VB) to reduce sympathetic hyperactivity, may increase connectivity between the amygdala and the frontal cortex. This may also increase the emotional regulation possibly yielded by the MSI, however in both genders. The effects of the MSI + vagal breathing on PTSD symptoms and on prognosis in advanced cancer patients receiving announcement of terminal cancer have never been investigated. Furthermore, whether reduced inflammation and increased emotional regulation may account for such effects needs to be investigated at the fundamental level. This project reflects the merging of neuroscience, psychooncology and psychoneuroimmunology for better understanding and treating cancer patients, as well as their partners.
The investigators hypothesize that trans-thoracic ultrasound performed by non-specialist gastroenterologists with a standard training by intensive care doctors will give equivalent results to those achieved by experts for a simple evaluation of hemodynamic status.
HIP50 is a national, multicentre, prospective, observational study, in patients presenting a first low energy per trochanteric hip fracture on one side and treated with Y-STRUT® device implanted on the contralateral proximal femur as percutaneous internal fixation to prevent contralateral hip fracture in case of osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the studied medical device by measuring the frequency of patient with a fracture at the implantation site within 1 year after implantation. A total of 50 patients from France will be enrolled (until December 2020) and followed up to 24 months.
Monocentric, prospective, randomized, open-label, cross-over study.
The primary objective of this study is to measure in patients addressed for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in the Cardiology-Electrophysiology and Cardiac Stimulation Department of Bordeaux hospital, the impact of a specialized nurse consultation on their adherence level to direct oral anticoagulants treatments.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are heterogeneous malignant bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis, peripheral blood cytopenias and variable risk of leukaemia transformation. Anemia is the most common manifestation of bone marrow failure in MDS. After failure with first-line treatment by Erythropoietin, patients survive in average 5 years under long term blood transfusion. Modalities of blood transfusion are not clearly defined. Then, the objective of this randomized comparative multicentric study is to compare two modalities of threshold for transfusion: - Restrictive group: Hb < 80g/L and Hb maintain between 80 and 100g/L - Liberal group: Hb < 100g/L and Hb maintain between 100 and 120g/L
To evaluate long-term safety of denosumab in children/young adults with pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) who completed the prior study 20130173 (NCT02352753).
The study population has locally advanced or metastatic bronchial or head and neck cancer. This study assesses the value of concomitant chemo/radiotherapy with carboplatin daily during metastatic radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone. The realization of a systemic treatment during the radiotherapy could make it possible to obtain a benefit on the control of the evolution of the metastases and thus of the pains generated, as well as on the quality of life of the patients. In addition, a benefit in overall survival is possible.
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a dark prognostic disease with survival at 5 years of less than 20% and a median survival of 24 to 30 months after diagnosis of metastasis. Thus, metastatic diagnosis can be expected to have a different impact on the quality of life of patients in early and advanced stages. However, MBC benefits from therapeutics that improve patients' quality of life and even improve overall survival. The main objectives of this prospective study are : - to evaluate the evolution over time of the quality of life of patients treated for positive hormonal receptors (RH+) metastatic breast cancer, according to the therapeutic class ; - to evaluate the psychological vulnerability of these patients since the announcement of their metastatic diagnosis and during their treatments. Finally, when interviewing oncologists, to know the factors involved in a treatment change decision process for the same patient.
