Our study will characterize the impact of reforms of the conditions of access to State medical aid and universal health protection on access to care and the state of health of this population. . It will make it possible to participate in the advocacy in favor of access to healthcare for all and the city PASS, the only device allowing access to healthcare in the city for all newcomers regardless of their status.
Recent studies suggest that patients with metastatic melanoma whose gut microbiome is colonized by eubiotic bacteria have a stronger anti-cancer response to anti CTLA-4 and anti PD1. The hypothesis of this research is that a pooled standardized fecal microbiome transfer (FMT) will shift melanoma patients' gut microbiome towards a composition close to that associated with a better response, and will therefore increase the response to a combination of anti CTLA-4 and anti PD1, without affecting the safety of these drugs. The present trial is the first randomized trial of FMT in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. It will include patients who have neither been exposed to anti CTLA-4 nor anti PD1 or PDL-1, prior to inclusion in the study. The pooled standardized fecal microbiome transfer administered in this study is an experimental drug MaaT013, a microbiome restoration biotherapeutic, produced by MaaT Pharma, and composed of pooled-donor, full-ecosystem intestinal microbiome. The MaaT013 product has a standardized richness (in number of species present) higher than a product obtained from a mono donor (455 species approximately against 274 on average) and contains bacteria species (mentioned in the rationale) associated with better response to anti- CTLA-4 and anti PD1.
Knee osteoarthritis is a frequent condition whose prevalence is estimated at 7.6% of the French population aged 40 to 75, or approximately 2 million individuals . Viscosupplementation (VS) is a symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis recommended by a large number of learned societies. It consists of the intra-articular injection (IA) of hyaluronic acid (HA), to reduce knee pain by restoring normal joint homeostasis impaired by endogenous HA deficiency. The IA administration of HA can be performed using 2 protocols: repeated weekly injections (3, sometimes 5 injections) and single injections. To date and there is no argument to favor either protocol. Regardless of the formula used, the safety of HA is excellent (RR of adverse reaction versus saline = 1.01, 95% CI 0.96-1.07, P = 0.6). The indication for viscosupplementation is the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis after failure and / or intolerance of analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In this indication, after HA injection the responder rate is in the order of 70% to 75% at 6 months and approximately 50% at 12 months. However, the predictors of the duration of effectiveness of SV are still unknown. The objective of the study is to research the factors influencing the duration of the effectiveness of SV, under real life conditions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of adding lazertinib to amivantamab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed (LACP/ACP-L dosing strategies) and amivantamab, carboplatin and pemetrexed (ACP) compared with carboplatin and pemetrexed (CP) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Exon 19del or Exon 21 L858R substitution non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after osimertinib failure. The purpose of the extension cohort is to further describe the safety and efficacy for the ACP-L dosing schedule versus ACP with additional data. After completion of the primary analysis, the study may eventually transition to an open-label extension (OLE) or long-term extension (LTE) phase during which participants will have the option to continue their assigned treatment.
Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalised skeletal muscle disorder involving the accelerated loss of muscle mass and function that is associated with increased adverse outcomes including falls, functional decline, frailty, and mortality. In this pilot project, the investigators want to explore the potential of the high-definition surface electromyography technology (HD-sEMG) for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. This is a monocentric, descriptive, cross-sectional, parallel group study to develop a new diagnostic method. It is planned to include 50 people aged 75 years and over hospitalized in the acute geriatric ward and suspected of sarcopenia (Score ≥4 on the SARC-F screening questionnaire). The inclusion duration will be 36 months and adding a 1-month patient follow-up as part of routine care, the total study duration will be 37 months. Patients will have their body composition (muscle mass, fat mass, and bone mass) using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Muscular strength will be assessed by handgrip strength. Physical performance will be assessed. Additional data will be collected from their medical records.
The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), an emerging coronavirus, which has already infected 192 million people with a case fatality rate close to 2%. About 5% of patients infected with SARS CoV-2 have a critical form with organ failure. Among critical patients admitted to intensive care, about 70% of them will require ventilatory assistance by invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) with a mortality rate of 35% and a median MV duration of 12 days. The most severe lung damage resulting from SARS CoV-2 infection is the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The virus infects alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells leading to an activation of endothelium, hypercoagulability and thrombosis of pulmonary capillaries. This results in abnormal ventilation / perfusion ratios and profound hypoxemia. To date, the therapeutic management of severe SARS CoV-2 pneumonia lay on the early use of corticosteroids and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist, which both reduce the need of MV and mortality. The risk factors of death in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are: advanced age, severe obesity, coronary heart disease, active cancer, severe hypoxemia, and hepatic and renal failure on admission. Among MV patients, the death rate is doubled in those with both reduced thoracopulmonary compliance and elevated D-dimer levels. Patients with severe alveolar damage are at risk of progressing towards irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, the incidence of which still remain unknown. The diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is based on histology but there are some non-invasive alternative methods (serum or bronchoalveolar biomarkers, chest CT scan). We aim to assess the incidence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with severe SARS CoV-2 related pneumonia. We will investigate the prognostic impact of fibrosis on mortality and the number of days alive free from MV at Day 90. Finally, we aim to identify risk factors of fibrosis.
The purpose of this study is to test if virtual reality immersion has the potential to significantly decrease subjective tinnitus intrusiveness when compared to standard care.
The aim is to describe at the cellular level the heterogeneity of rhabdoid tumors, and identify how this diversity influences resistance to treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of efavaleukin alfa on induction of clinical remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 3 efavaleukin alfa doses or placebo during a 12-week induction period. Participants who complete the 12-week induction period will have the option to enter an exploratory long-term treatment period for up to 40 weeks (total of up to 52 weeks of treatment) if, in the opinion of the investigator, they may benefit from continued treatment. During the long-term period, participants randomized to efavaleukin alfa will remain on the same efavaleukin alfa blinded dose; participants randomized to placebo who achieved clinical response at week 12 will remain on placebo; and placebo non-responders (ie, participants randomized to placebo who did not achieve clinical response at week 12) will receive efavaleukin alfa in a blinded manner during continued treatment. All participants will complete a safety follow-up visit 6 weeks after their last dose of investigational product.
