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.
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality with 7.2 million of death in industrialized countries (WHO data). Myocardial infarction corresponding to acute occlusion of a coronary artery is the most brutal form and the more severe ischemic myocardial disease. Every year in France, about 60,000 Myocardial infarctions hospitalized, 30,000 are diagnosed remotely and 30,000 are revealed by an inaugural sudden death. Although mortality from myocardial decreased by 30% over the past decade, the prognosis is pejorative and difficult to assess precisely. The management of the patient depends on these factors, and justifies an active search on these topics, including the mechanisms of the deleterious ventricular remodeling, myocardial inflammation, reperfusion injury which determines in particular the evolution to heart failure. Cohorts of patients with myocardial infarction are rare but can be very valuable by their clinical, laboratory and imaging well documented. They are the source of new hypotheses for research or interventions as well as the quality of care assessment tool. The main objective of this project is to identify new markers: biological and imaging, treatment response and prognosis after acute myocardial infarction. Secondary objectives of the HIBISCUS-STEMI cohort to establish a clinical database, completed by biological samples and by imaging data that can be used in the following areas: - Descriptive epidemiology of myocardial infarction and myocardial reperfusion - Pharmacoepidemiology and treatments observatory: safety, efficacy, indication of treatment in real life, costs - Assessment of the long-term effect of the treatment on the occurrence of heart failure and sudden death - Quality of life and personal consequences, family, professional and social myocardial infarction - Research of new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers - Research projects (e.g. risk of developing kidney failure or stroke in patients with myocardial infarction compared to the general population).
Primary Objective: Pharmacodynamics: assessment by pH metry of the change in gastric pH (antacid activity) of Z0063, in comparison to the effect of Gaviscon Double Action Tablets, in healthy adult subjects. Secondary Objective: Safety: assessment of the clinical safety of Z0063, and Gaviscon Double Action Tablets, in healthy adult subjects.
Many studies are in favour of the importance of the rachis on the postural balance of the body.It is possible to study the upright posture by determining the center of pressure using a platform of strength.The spinal surgery have two objectives ,mechanic and neurologic .By deformation correction and stabilizing vertebral stages via arthrodesis, it seems to hypothesize that surgery can modify postural balance. This study aim to evaluate spinal surgery effect on posture using that plaftorm .
The study hypothesis is that a "reinforced" pneumococcal combined vaccine strategy in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides treated with rituximab will induce a better immune response than the current standard regimen, with an acceptable safety profile. This study therefore aims at evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of two "reinforced" innovative pneumococcal vaccine regimen [one double dose at day0 and one double dose at day7 or a quadruple dose of 13-valent anti-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by one dose of 23-valent unconjugated vaccine (PPV23) at month 5], compared to the standard regimen (one dose of PCV13 followed by one dose of PPV23 at month 5), in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides receiving rituximab therapy.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic hereditary respiratory disease. Exercise testing is part of CF patients regular assessment. Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) is currently considered as the gold standard to assess physical capacities. However, simple field tests are emerging. These tests are easier to perform especially in a population of CF children and adolescents. The 1minute Sit-To-Stand test have recently been evaluated in CF adults. This test correlates with maximal oxygen consumption during CPET. The investigators hypothesized that this test also correlates with 6-Minute Walking distance (during a 6-min Walk Test), quadriceps strength, respiratory muscles strength and health-related quality of life.
Assessment of the feasibility of a monitoring device by SMS in which messages are sent by the caregiver after a suicidal act.
We wish to perform a multicenter, double-blind RCT with two parallel-group stratified on the center, comparing rifaximin to no rifaximin (placebo) for the primary prophylaxis of SBP in 'severe' cirrhotic patients with large ascites. The primary outcome will be the 12-month survival.
This was a Phase III, Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Participants with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a rare group of genetic skin fragility disorders characterised by blistering of the skin in response to minor injury. In most cases, onset of EB is at birth or shortly after. All participants affected by any type of EB share the main characteristic of repeatedly developing painful wounds that take days to months to heal. Current treatment of EB is primarily preventative and supportive including protection from mechanical forces by avoiding rubbing, early treatment of wounds to prevent infections, and protection of the wound with adequate non-adhesive dressings to enable healing. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in Oleogel-S10 is a refined birch bark extract, quantified to 72 to 88% betulin. This clinical study of Oleogel-S10 in patients with inherited EB has been carried out to investigate whether Oleogel-S10 is effective for treatment of EB wounds and safe for long-term use. Oleogel-S10 was compared to a control gel. The control gel matched Oleogel-S10 in terms of texture and visual appearance to allow for double-blinding. The packaging for Oleogel-S10 gel and the control gel were identical. The participant received either Oleogel-S10 or control gel for a double-blind study phase of 90 days. The probability that the participant received Oleogel-S10 was 50%, which means that they had a 1 in 2 chance of receiving Oleogel-S10. However, in the follow-up phase of the study all participants were treated with Oleogel-S10 for a period of 24 months. This clinical study was performed at 49 study sites in 26 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong [China], Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States)Íž 223 participants participated in total.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational immunotherapy Nivolumab, when combined with Ipilimumab, is more effective than Nivolumab by itself, in delaying the return of cancer in patients who have had a complete surgical removal of stage IIIb/c/d or stage IV Melanoma
In recent years the concept of organ sparing treatment in rectal cancer was introduced for selected good responders after neo-adjuvant treatment. In these patients replacement of the standard of care total mesorectal excision (TME) by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) or omission of surgery after chemoradiation (CRT) was proposed. Before organ sparing treatments could be applied in clinical practice a reliable patient selection procedure has to be available as only good treatment responders after neo-adjuvant therapy are candidates for such adapted therapy. Different imaging modalities have been studied for their ability to distinguish good treatment responders from others. Examples of such imaging modalities with some promising results regarding response assessment are fludeoxyglucosepositron emission tomography (FDG-PET), T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2w-MRI), dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion weighted MR imaging (DW-MRI). Besides these modalities dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasound (D-CEUS) is a new modality used for tissue characterization and therapy response assessment in several tumor locations, like liver tumors and breast cancer. D-CEUS reflect tissue vascular perfusion. For rectal cancer, the value of D-CEUS for pathological response prediction and assessment has never been assessed. Therefore, in this study we assessed D-CEUS to predict and assess pathological response in rectal cancer after neo-adjuvant CRT.
