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.
Liver transplantation (LT) is a surgery with risk of bleeding. Several risk factors have been identified: complex dissection, portal hypertension, history of ascites fluid infections, history of surgical procedures, pre-existing complex hemostatic disorders and those acquired during the procedure. Diffuse bleeding can occur at any time during the 3 phases of surgery: dissection, anhepatic and neohepatic. However, intraoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements remain difficult to predict. Current predictive models are based in particular on preoperative characteristics and do not take into account the course and different phases of the operation. The need for transfusions has largely decreased over the last 20 years, and currently around 20-25% of patients are transfused (transfusion of at least 1 blood product during LT). However, massive transfusion is necessary in 10% of LT. The European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) has issued recommendations on the management of severe bleeding during surgery. However, these recommendations are not specific to LT. Moreover, transfusion strategies vary widely from one center to another. The implementation of protocols within teams dedicated to LT has led to a reduction in bleeding and transfusion, with or without the use of viscoelastic testing. Intraoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements, as well as postoperative thromboembolic complications, remain difficult to predict. Predictive models of bleeding risk have been developed, but they are based solely on preoperative characteristics and do not take into account the course and various phases of the operation. In addition, new methods such as Bayesian inference or machine learning have been developed, and seem capable of providing different information from that obtained by conventional models. The overall aim of this prospective multicenter observational study is to investigate the risk factors for bleeding and thrombosis in per- and post-operative LT using different predictive methods, and to describe the management of bleeding and post-operative anticoagulation in metropolitan France.

The objective of this prospective observational study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical and biological characteristics of admitted patients in ICU for severe acute exacerbation of COPD, to assess the different therapeutics used, to evaluate the prognosis of patients with short, medium and long term ( 1 year) and the various factors associated with survival in ICU
Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a frequent and potentially serious pathology. Therapeutic management has improved considerably over the last few decades, enabling the application of codified management in line with the recently updated French management recommendations. One of the main remaining difficulties concerns VTE sequelae, mainly post-thrombotic syndrome after deep vein thrombosis, and post-pulmonary embolism syndrome after pulmonary embolism. The mechanisms leading to the absence of complete repermeabilization of vessels affected by Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) are still poorly understood. The concept of immunothrombosis, closely associating immunity, inflammation and thrombosis, could (in part) explain the appearance of these sequelae. Platelets appear to play a key role in the onset of sequelae: Platelets are known to be involved both in the onset of a VTE episode and in the inflammatory response. This involvement is illustrated by the expression of inflammatory receptors such as TLR (toll-like receptor) 2 and TLR4. Th aim to investigate the role of platelets in the occurrence of sequelae, mainly via their role in the inflammatory response, in Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) patients.
Pain after total hip replacement (THR) surgery is severe. The target population is elderly and comorbid. Level III analgesics are responsible for significant side effects in this population. Locoregional analgesia, by reducing the consumption of painkillers, is an effective way of reducing morphine or morphine agonist consumption in this surgery. Furthermore, these techniques fit in perfectly with the objectives of accelerated rehabilitation after surgery. Surgical infiltration is a frequently used and effective analgesic technique. PENG block is a new locoregional anesthesia technique which initial results show promising analgesic efficacy and the absence of loss of strength through motor block. In February 2022, we carried out a survey of national anesthetic practices in posterior hip arthroplasty, with the help of the SFAR (Société Française d'Anesthésie-Réanimation). It shows that, despite the lack of plentiful literature on the subject, the PENG block is currently the most frequently performed pre-operative block in hip arthroplasty (PENG block in 39.5% of cases, femoral block in 13% of cases). The survey also shows that in 41.5% of cases, no block is performed, and only intraoperative surgical infiltration is carried out. PENG block and surgical infiltration are therefore the two analgesic techniques most frequently used in France today. It is for these reasons that we feel it is essential to carry out a study comparing these two techniques.
In France, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) affects almost 170 people per million inhabitants every year, and 92,500 people are treated by dialysis or kidney transplantation (0.14% of the French population). The treatment of chronic renal failure is extremely costly: 4 billion euros in 2021, i.e. 2% of health insurance expenditure, and an annual cost of 42,000 euros per patient. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of dialysis patients is low, with reports of patients at 40%-60% of full health. In France, there has been a significant decrease in physical (-15.4 points) and mental (-6.9 points) component scores compared with the general population. Dialysis patients often present severe or overwhelming symptoms, which contribute to this poor HRQoL. However, in nephrology, studies have focused on survival and laboratory biomarkers, and very few interventions have been aimed at improving what was a priority for patients, i.e. treating their symptoms and improving their HRQoL. Opportunities to intervene and improve symptom management and overall HRQoL may therefore have been missed. Ignoring patients' symptoms is an important omission. Of 28 randomized trials in primary care and oncology that measured the impact of communicating patient-reported outcomes to clinicians, 65% showed improved care processes and 47% improved health outcomes. The results of two recent randomized trials in oncology suggest that symptom monitoring can improve HRQoL and overall survival. There is no evidence for dialysis patients, although therapeutic solutions are available in most cases. Nephrology teams do not sufficiently recognize the prevalence, severity and negative effects of symptoms in their patients, and patients under-report their symptoms. With systematic symptom screening and automatic transmission of symptoms in the form of alerts, dialysis staff will be able to react and implement routine management to alleviate patients' symptoms. The F-SWIFT study evaluates the hypothesis that regular symptom monitoring and feedback to hemodialysis patients and their dialysis staff improves patient HRQoL at 18 months. In addition, the trial aims to determine whether electronic capture of patient-reported outcomes within a national dialysis patient registry is feasible and cost-effective, evaluated using consumption data from the Système National des données de Santé (SNDS) medico-administrative database. F-SWIFT is the French part of an international project (SWIFT) initiated in Australia in 2021: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry #ACTRN12620001061921. This French part is funded by Inserm's AAP MESSIDORE 2022. F-SWIFT is also the continuation of the pilot study n° 2021-A00776-35 accepted by the CPP EST II on 19/10/2021 and financed by the Agence de la Biomédecine (AOR 2021) in the RIPH3 category.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a pathology with a highly variable course, ranging from patients who are asymptomatic throughout their lives to those who experience sudden death and/or terminal heart failure. The main objective is to develop and validate an algorithm (constructed through supervised learning) using cardiac imaging data to predict the risk of cardiovascular events in sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Operandi project aims to address unmet clinical needs in the current management of GEP-NETs treated with PRRT by exploring new opportunities provided by imaging-based artificial intelligence (AI) and data augmentation, simultaneous PET-MRI imaging, and novel approaches to increase patient selection and PRRT efficacy (genomic profiling, radiopotentiators, and new radionuclides). The study aim to identify predictive and early markers indicative of PRRT effectiveness based on a large prospective cohort of GEP-NET patients. This cohort will be used to uncover relevant predictive signatures within the morphological, functional, and molecular imaging data using novel imaging-based AI approaches with a new patient imaging pathway including simultaneous PET-MRI. Considering this global objective, the objective of this clinical research protocol is to provide clinical, molecular and imaging data in a prospective standardized study, notably by performing systematic PET-MRI at baseline, at middle course of PRRT and at 1 year of the beginning of PRRT, in patients with advanced GEP-NETs treated with PRRT.
