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.
More than six million French were affected by SARS-COV2 epidemic. About 20% of infected peoples were hospitalized, and about 5% were admitted to the intensive care units (ICU) for severe SARS-COV2 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management. A spectrum of neuropsychiatric sequelae, specific for the ICU exposure, was already described, including post-intensive care syndrome and persistent pain. A growing body of evidence suggests the impact of SARS-COV2 exposure on the occurrence of neurological disorders and chronic pain syndrome development in COVID-19 patients. Taking together, one can expect a large number of patients discharged from ICU after severe COVID-19 with high prevalence of persistent pain and psychological disorders. To date, no study has evaluated neither the incidence of persistant pains in ICU COVID-19 survivors, nor pain phenotypes. The knowledge of such data is crucial in order to anticipate the management of such patients by specialized pain team, and to quantify the possible incurred burden of care. Our study aims to evaluate the incidence of pain, pain localization and severity, associated pain-related psychological disorders, and to perform quantitative sensory testing in severe COVID-19 patients, admitted to the ICU for more than 48 hours and successfully discharged home during the first French pandemic wave.
Interventional, prospective, single-centre study aimed to evaluate the impact of a video-assisted remote speech therapy consultation in relation to the complexity and specificity of the care of patients with ORL cancer. Three indications will be studied: phonation problems, swallowing problems and other problems. The study will be conducted on a population of patients with T3, T4 ORL cancer requiring speech therapy. Each patient included will have a video-assisted speech therapy consultation with a private speech therapist and an expert speech therapist. At the end of this video consultation, the patient and the private speech therapist will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire. At the follow-up visit following the video-assisted consultation, the patient will have completed participation in the study.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the diagnostic concordance of ultra low-dose and standard dose reconstructed computed tomography acquisitions using the ADMIRE algorithm to search for intracranial lesions - both hemorrhagic and bone lesions - in trauma patients at the emergency department. The study will also evaluate the diagnostic performance of the two protocols, as well as the speed of image reading. For the first time, acquisitions ≤ 10 mGy (lower value than reported in the literature) will be performed with top-of-the-range scanners available in the emergency room to search for intracranial lesions. These scanners are equipped with the latest generation of ADMIRE iterative algorithms.
The EU-ROP registry is a European wide multicenter non-interventional observational registry study intended to run open-ended in as many countries as possible including infants treated for retinopathy of prematurity irrespective of the used treatment modality. The registry is strictly observational; only clinical routine data is collected, no study-specific examinations or interventions are to be performed. The aim of the EU-ROP registry is to collect information on as many patients as possible treated for ROP in Europe. Both the number of study centers as well as the number of patients to be included into the registry are not limited. The primary objective is to describe the typical clinical features of infants with severe ROP, variations in phenotype, and the clinical progression of the disease over time (natural history) in different European countries as well as to study treatment patterns, follow-up patterns, as well as long-term outcomes.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is presently the third leading cause of death worldwide and is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation diagnosed by spirometry. COPD is currently considered as a systemic disease with predominantly respiratory involvement, associated with numerous comorbidities. Among these, muscle wasting, present in about one third of patients, is associated with a higher mortality (up to 10-fold, irrespective of the severity of the obstruction). Muscle wasting is classically characterized by a decrease in muscle strength and volume (sarcopenia), which can be defined by a decrease in the muscle mass measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry: Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass or ASM / height < 7.0 kg/m2 in men and 5.5 kg/m2 in women. However, sarcopenia is largely underestimated in current clinical practice. Moreover, there is no specific treatment: only exercise training as part of respiratory rehabilitation has shown some efficiency. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are indeed poorly characterized. Fibrocytes, cells derived from blood monocytes and able to migrate to different organs in order to play pro-fibrotic or pro-inflammatory roles, play a key role in bronchial obstruction. They are recruited in the blood of COPD patients during an acute exacerbation according to a CXCL12/CXCR4 chemotactic axis. Their role in COPD sarcopenia is currently unknown, but recent data show that they are involved in a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. The hypothesis is that fibrocytes are involved in COPD sarcopenia.
The purpose of the study is to assess if the study medication (molnupiravir, MK-4482) will prevent symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults who live with someone with confirmed COVID-19 infection. This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study; half of the study participants will receive molnupiravir twice daily by mouth and the other half will receive a placebo. The primary objectives of the study are to determine if molnupiravir prevents symptomatic COVID-19 disease and to evaluate its safety and tolerability. All participants who develop COVID-19 during the study are still eligible for any COVID-19 treatment recommended by their doctor.
the purpose of this study is to estimate vacinal coverage against hepatitis A and B viruses, pneumococcus, diphtheria/tetanos and poliomyelitis, influenza virus and covid in cirrhotic patients followed in general hospitals of France and to show the
This is an observational prospective single-center study of 30 patients operated for early-staged non-small cell lung cancer. The main aim is the analysis of molecular profiling of exosome with a sample in tumor-draining vein in order to identify prognostic molecular characteristics associated with cancer recurrence after surgery.
Weakness of respiratory muscles is frequent after several days of mechanical ventilation. Thereby an acquired diaphragm weakness has been demonstrated, linked to an atrophy which may be identified by a decrease of muscle thickness in echography. This study aims to evaluate with ultrasound the variation of thickness of abdominal muscles after 7 days of mechanical ventilation.
