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.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population of the industrialized world. AMD is a progressive degenerative disease affecting the central area of the retina, responsible for distinct vision. Vision loss arises from aberrant new vessel growth which causes the accumulation of blood or fluid within the retina's thickness and eventually leads to permanent scarring. The two major forms of AMD are exudative, or neovascular or "wet", and non-exudative, or "dry". Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) represents the key modulator of the angiogenetic process and is involved in the pathophysiology of AMD. Anti VEGF therapies are used to treat wet-AMD. After diagnosis and explanations of the practionner, the patients and their close relatives have still frequently many questions about the intravitreal injections, the prognosis, the risk of visual impairment, etc. Few teams have studied the modalities of diagnosis announcement and the understanding of the patients on the disease course. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feelings after the AMD diagnosis announcement as well as the understanding of the possibilities of treatment and the clinical surveillance.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only treatment option with a significant chance of healing in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or refractory multiple relapses after chemotherapy. However, all patients with an indication of allo-HSC can not benefit because of two limitations: the toxicity of the treatment and graft shortage available.
COPD is characterized by an airflow limitation, which is not fully reversible, usually progressive and accompanied by chronic cough, sputum production and dyspnea, which can be a major cause of disability and anxiety associated with the disease. In addition, COPD is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pharmacologic therapy is used to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and also to improve health status and exercise tolerance. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, double dummy, 3-arm parallel group study to compare umeclidinium/vilanterol (62.5/25 microgram [mcg], once daily), umeclidinium (62.5 mcg, once daily), and salmeterol (50 mg, twice daily) in male and female subjects with COPD. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate improvements in lung function for subjects treated with UMEC/VI compared with UMEC for 24 weeks. Approximately 2424 subjects will be randomized across 3 parallel arms in 1:1:1 ratio. Subjects will be stratified based on long-acting bronchodilator usage during the run-in period (none, one or 2 long-acting bronchodilators per day). Subjects will receive either UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and placebo twice daily via DISKUS® DPI; or UMEC (62.5 mcg once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA DPI and placebo twice daily via DISKUS DPI or salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily [BID]) administered via the DISKUS DPI and placebo once daily via ELLIPTA DPI. The duration of the study will be 29 to 31 weeks including a pre-screening period of 2 weeks, run-in period of 4 weeks, treatment period of 24 weeks and follow-up period of 1 week. ELLIPTA and DISKUS are trademarks of GSK group of companies.
Exploratory, multi-center, randomised, investigator-blinded, vehicle controlled study using intra-individual comparison involving subjects with acne vulgaris on face to evaluate the efficacy of CD5024 1% cream over a 6-week treatment period compared to its vehicle.
This study examine the efficacy of oral magnesium supplementation as an adjuvant therapy for decreasing intensity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms among inpatients requiring pharmacological treatment of their AWS. This double blind randomized multicenter clinical trial planned to treat half of participants as usal plus placebo and the other half as usual plus magnesium.
The aim of this trial is the caracterisation of a predicting algorithm of the answering response for patients with etanercept treatment in spondyloarthritis disease. This algorithm will help to target patients patients who have a risk / benefit important for etanercept treatment.
The proposal aims at determining whether liquid biopsy approaches are valid in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Step1 will test 3 CTC isolation methods and analyse by flow cytometry the presence of onco-exosomes in the culture media of pancreatic cell lines. Step 2 will examine the diagnostic accuracy of these blood tumor elements for the diagnosis of cancer of patients with PDAC suspicion or recent diagnosis and their value for disease monitoring.
The primary objective of this study is to compare all-cause mortality at Day 14 in participants receiving cefiderocol with participants receiving the comparator, meropenem, in adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or healthcare-associated bacterial pneumonia (HCABP) caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
Phase 1: The European ASV Registry (short name) will investigate the use of Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in non-heart failure conditions. The purpose is to examine the effects of ASV on quality of life, daytime symptoms and sleep, to describe usage patterns of ASV with regards to patient characteristics and to document adverse events related to therapy for a therapy safety analysis. A pilot phase will enrol at least 200 patients to test the feasibility of the registry. After the pilot phase will be completed and an intermediate data analysis had been performed, the registry will be expanded over several countries across Europe with the goal of enrolling up to 800 patients over a period of 5 years. Phase 2: The READ-ASV Registry (short name) will investigate the use of Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in non-heart failure conditions. The purpose is to examine the effects of ASV on quality of life, daytime symptoms and sleep, to describe usage patterns of ASV with regards to patient characteristics and to document adverse events related to therapy for a therapy safety analysis.
Following the licencing of a new drug, Defitelio®, indicated for the treatment of severe Veno-Occlusive Disease of the liver (sVOD), a rare but serious complication of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), as a specific obligation (SOB), the manufacture and marketing Authorisation Holder (MHA) (Gentium, a Jazz Pharmaceuticals Company) was required by PRAC (Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee) to set up a disease registry to collect safety and outcome data, and to assess patterns of utilization of Defitelio® in the post-approval setting. This registry is a Post Authorization Safety Study (PASS), is being coordinated in collaboration with the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). For this study, anonymised clinical data are being collected from patients who develop VOD and and treated with and patients who have been treated with Defitelio® for conditions other than sVOD. The study DOES NOT involve decisions about treatment, which are clinical decisions, but merely collection of data for patients who develop this complication, whether or not they receive treatment and for patients who are treated with Defitelio® for any other reasons.The study DOES NOT involve decisions about treatment, which are clinical decisions, but merely collection of data for patients who develop this complication, whether or not they receive treatment and for patients who are treated with Defitelio® for any other reasons.
