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.
Accidental perioperative hypothermia is a frequent complication of anesthesia that favors the occurrence of infections, bleeding and perioperative cardiovascular accidents, and is responsible for perioperative excess mortality. Although preventive measures are widely used, it remains very frequent in France. This observation led a group of experts to draft, under the aegis of the Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR), several recommendations aimed at improving the prevention of perioperative accidental hypothermia. Perioperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36.0 ° Celsius. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypothermia prevention training on the proportion of hypothermic patients in the operating room.
Special populations are people with a risk to dévelop severe forms of a disease. The immunogenicity and efficacy of vaccines in this population may be different compared of the general population. For Covid-19, special populations are people with chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes, cancer, etc.) and / or immunocompromised and / or elderly. It is therefore important that the safety of new vaccines as well as their efficacy be evaluated. Thus, in cancer, most immunosuppressions and immunosuppressive treatments (in particular chemotherapy or certain targeted therapies) risk negatively impacting the effectiveness of the anti-SARS-COV-2 vaccine both for the humoral immune responses (antibodies ) and cellular (T lymphocytes). These patients may develop an insufficient post-vaccination immunity. However, it seems that immunosenescence (ie the aging of the immune system) has little impact on the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines. The Canserovax study evaluates the impact of anticancer treatments on the quality of the humoral (development of antibodies) and cellular (development of a specific T response) immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients treated for cancer after vaccination. It is carried out in patients undergoing treatment and in subjects not suffering from cancer, and not treated for this pathology (vaccinated salaried staff of a french cancer center). The aim is to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the post-vaccination immune responses in these 2 populations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel and placebo in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). This study aims to explore whether blockade of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel can reduce fibrosis in PDAC, restore chemo-sensitivity and ultimately lead to improvements in overall survival (OS) and other clinically relevant outcomes.
Syntocinon was granted marketing authorization in France in 1970. Since the 1960s, it has been frequently used during childbirth, particularly in cases of stagnation of cervical dilatation due to a lack of uterine contractility. According to the latest National Perinatal Survey of 2010, 66.5% of patients go into labor spontaneously and 58% of them receive Syntocinon during labor. The reported maternal effects associated with the use of synthetic oxytocin include uterine hyperactivity, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and severe PPH. The administration of oxytocin increases the risk of uterine hyperactivity in a dose-dependent manner. Regarding fetal risk, the reported adverse effects concern fetal heart rate abnormalities related to uterine hyperactivity. However, no study has shown an association between oxytocin administration and excess neonatal morbidity and mortality, except in the subpopulation of patients with a scarred uterus.
Gender dysphoria is manifested by an internal tension between biological sex and gender, that is, by a non-congruence, in the subjects who suffer from it, between their sex of birth and their social gender identity.
Evaluation of patient's proportion, whose management care has been modified at least once and specially by Moovcare® Lung application at 12 and 24 months.
The gastric bypass can reduce the bioavailability of food proteins. The bioavailability of hydrolyzed proteins may be higher than intact proteins. Thus, the use of hydrolyzed proteins could compensate for the decrease in protein bioavailability observed after gastric By-pass in morbidly obese patients. The effectiveness of a hydrolyzed protein intake may be higher than that of an intact protein intake to improve the status of a By-pass. The hypothesis would be that the use of hydrolyzed proteins would compensate for the decrease in bioavailability of food proteins caused by gastric By-pass.
This is an open-label, randomized, Phase 3, multicenter trial, which has been designed to compare the efficacy and safety of T-Guard to ruxolitinib in patients with Grade III or IV Steroid-Refractory acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (SR-aGVHD). The primary hypothesis is that T-Guard treatment will improve the Day 28 complete response (CR) rate in patients with Grades III and IV SR-aGVHD compared to ruxolitinib.
Extracorporeal veno-arterial membrane oxygenation" (ECMO-VA), are used to manage refractory cardiogenic shocks by replacing the failed "heart-lung" block. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation guidelines considers that the effectiveness of these techniques must be evaluated on the adequacy of tissue perfusion biomarker, of which is O2 saturation of venous blood found in the pulmonary artery using a Swan-Ganz catheter (SVO2) or in the superior vena cava/right atrium using a central venous catheter (ScVO2). During ECMO support, it can be also measured directly in the venous ECMO cannula (SmVO2). However, due to the difference in tips locations of the venous cannula of ECMO-VA, the central venous catheter and the Swan-Ganz catheter, and rheological issues, the SmVO2, SVO2 and ScVO2 values obtained may be different. Further we hypothesised that the level of admission flow may also affect the correlation between these different variables. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the concordance of the saturation of venous blood collected from these 3 measurement sites. The primary objectives is to compare the concordance of ScVO2 and the SmVO2, the two more easily and systematically available variables The secondary objectives were : 1. to evaluate the concordance of the 3 variables describing oxygen saturation 2. to analyse the primary objectives during prespecified and calibrated flow changes 3. analyse the association between these 3 variables with prognosis variables (Perfusion index, lactatemia, CO2 veno-arterial differences, SOFA score, SAPS II, successful weaning from the ECMO) 4. analyse in an ancilary study the concordance between SmVO2 measured using blood sample and the value obtained using a continuous monitoring of SVO2 through the circuit.
CMV infection in transplantation remains the most frequent infectious complication causing increased morbidity and mortality. International recommendations advocate prevention of this infection by instituting direct antiviral treatment or monitoring viral replication by PCR with the start of curative antiviral treatment when the DNAemia is positive. The risk of CMV infection varies according to the serostatus of the donor (D) and recipient (R) at the time of transplantation. In the absence of prophylaxis, CMV infection occurs in 60-80% of D+R-, 50-60% of D+R+ and 25-50% of D-R+. The humoral anti-CMV response is represented by the production of antibodies to envelope proteins (gB and gH) and to molecules involved in viral attachment and entry into target cells. However, the majority of CMV-specific antibodies do not have antiviral neutralising activity. The investigators have identified a new player in the specific anti-CMV response expressing the Fc RIIIa receptor (CD16), that interacts with anti-CMV immunoglobulins (Ig): the Tgamma-delta V delta 2-negative lymphocyte (LTgdVd2neg). This lymphocyte subpopulation shows persistent expansion in the peripheral blood of kidney transplant patients with CMV infection. These cells express an effector-memory phenotype (CD45RA+/CD27-). This expansion is associated with resolution of infection in patients. The investigators have shown that CD16 is specifically and constitutively expressed on the surface of CMV-induced LTgdVd2neg in healthy volunteers and kidney transplant patients. The investigators have observed that one of the antiviral activities of anti-CMV IgG lies in its binding to the Fc RIIIa receptor (CD16) on the surface of LTgdVd2neg. The anti-CMV IgGs capturing virions thus activate CD16+ LTgdVd2neg with production of IFN interferon which in turn is responsible for inhibition of CMV viral multiplication. Anti-CMV IgG is a recommended therapeutic option, with a marketing authorisation for the prevention of CMV infection in kidney transplantation in Europe and a Temporary Authorisation for Use in France. Thus, R+ patients expressing a significant level of LTgdVd2neg CD16+ at D0 of transplantation could be protected against CMV, in the absence of direct antiviral treatment by the addition of anti-CMV Ig.
