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.
Ultrasonography in salivary gland has demonstrated its usefulness to diagnose and follow patients with Sjögren syndrome (pSS). More recently, a new imaging technique allows to study the parenchymal elasticity in salivary glands and could be a new tool to evaluate patients with sicca syndrome and pSS.
Based on the efficacy of immunotherapies in advanced disease with a reasonable safety profile/tolerability we could hypothesize that, immunotherapy should work best in the situation of minimal residual disease, Two clinical trials are ongoing to test the role of immunotherapeutic agents in the adjuvant setting: PEARLS trial, a randomized phase III trial with anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (MK-3475 or pembrolizumab) versus placebo for patients with early stage NSCLC after resection and completion of standard adjuvant therapy, and the second randomized phase III trial (NCT02273375) will evaluate the efficacy of an anti-PD-L1 (MEDI 4736) for a maximum of 12 months versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in completed resected stage IB-IIIA NSCLC and completed standard ACT. The role of immunotherapeutic approaches for NSCLC in the neoadjuvant setting is currently unknown. However, based on the survival efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies in advanced NSCLC where the tumor has not been removed which could produce higher immunogenicity and based on the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatments in NSCLC, we propose to test the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab as neoadjuvant therapy in subjects diagnosed with stage I, II, or IIIA (non N2) NSCLC and who are deemed suitable for surgical resection. Clinical staging of NSCLC is based on computed tomography (CT) of the chest and upper abdomen, brain CT or magnetic resonance imaging and 18F-FDG PETscan to rule out metastatic disease and assess the potential for curative-intent resection. Adjuvant chemotherapy will be performed according the standard clinical guidelines.
The trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety of administration under the skin of turoctocog alfa pegol (SC N8-GP) in patients with severe haemophilia A.
Children with diabetic ketoacidosis risk neurological complications such as cerebral edema with high morbidity. To prevent cerebral edema, it is essential to control correction of hypovolemia, hyperglycemia and natremia. Markers usually used in management of diabetic ketoacidosis don't always permit an optimal care. Plasma copeptin levels reflect vasopressin secretion which is high in diabetic ketoacidosis. Therefore, monitoring of plasma copeptin levels could be of interest in children with diabetic ketoacidosis and risk of sévère neurological complications.
The initial standard treatment of breast cancer is surgery. Tumor involvement of lymph nodes is of paramount importance in the subsequent management of this cancer and surgery of invasive breast cancer (BC) involves axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). To preserve arm lymphatic drainage during ALND and avoid the risk of arm lymphedema, mapping the lymphatic drainage by axillary reverse mapping (ARM) has been developed. But oncological safety is uncertain. The ARM procedure presented here uses indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescence detection of draining lymphatics. The project aims to train surgeons to the technique and to identify predictive factors for metastatic ARM nodes in invasive BC using tumor and axillary pathological parameters to better select patients who would not require removal of the ARM node in the future
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the treatment with sofosbuvir velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) with ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) Class C cirrhosis.
The objective of study is to prospectively determine if CPET with blood gas analysis should have a prognostic value in CF. The study plans to include 300 cystic fibrosis patients. Inclusion criteria will be: age >15 years, cystic fibrosis confirmed by chloride sweat test or genetic analysis, clinical and functional stability in the 2 month before CPET. Patients will perform a maximal exercise test on a cycloergometer during the inclusion visit, with pulmonary function testing and a six-minute walk test. The study will also include a visit every 6 months with: body mass index calculation, pulmonary function testing with DLCO (diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide), a six minute walk test, and antibacteriological study of sputum. The results of this study could help identify earlier the patients for referral to a lung transplantation centre, by using the usual criteria and the CPET abnormalities.
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, phase 3 study of napabucasin plus weekly nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine versus weekly nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine for adult patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
PROSPECTIVE COHORT EVALUATION OF NEUROCAP® In the Treatment of symptomatic Neuroma (PROTECT Neuro) This post-market surveillance study is conducted to provide post market surveillance information regarding long-term performance and ease of use of the Polyganics nerve capping device (NEUROCAP®) for reduction of the development of peripheral symptomatic end-neuroma.
The main autoimmune bullous dermatoses are pemphigus and cicatricial pemphigoid. Pemphigus is an autoimmune dermatological disease characterized by the production of anti-desmoclesin antibodies 1 and 3, affecting the skin and mucous membranes.The cicatricial pemphigoid is an autoimmune dermatological disease, characterized by the production of anti-zone antibodies of the basal membrane and characterized by a predominant mucosal involvement. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an increasingly used form of corticosteroid. Despite its increasing use, pharmacokinetics in autoimmune bullous dermatosis remain little studied.
