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.
The worldwide incidence of cutaneous melanoma has been increasing for the last 30 years in western populations. Among all melanomas, those located on the head and neck are more frequent than expected regarding the surface of this anatomical area, occur in older subjects than melanomas at other sites and have a worse prognosis than melanomas at other sites. The question whether head and neck melanomas could be a distinct entity has been debated.
Work related asthma and rhinitis are frequent diseases with a significant morbidity and a social and economic impact. Farmers are highly exposed to various inhaled agents such as organic or inorganic dust, endotoxin, micro-organisms, pollen, mites, moulds, animal danders and pesticides, inducing rhinitis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and organic dust toxic syndrome. Work related respiratory symptoms are frequent in crop farmers. Allergic rhinitis and respiratory symptoms in fruit farmers are mainly related to pollen allergy, especially gramineae pollen. They can also be related to the use of pesticides or exposure to mites .
Bullous pemphigoid is the most common subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin in European countries, including France. Immunologically, BP is characterized by the production of autoantibodies directed against two major components of the hemidesmosome, BP180 and BP230. The anti-BP180 autoantibody is detected in 79-93% of cases of bullous pemphigoid and its serum level at diagnosis have been correlated with disease activity. The anti-BP230 autoantibody is detected in 57%-63% of bullous pemphigoid cases and its score at diagnosis did not correlate with disease activity. Up to now, no clinical or immunologic factors have been identified to predict outcome of patients with good or poor prognosis bullous pemphigoid as defined by long complete remission off therapy and recurrent disease requiring maintenance therapy for years. The usefulness of BP180 or BP230 ELISA scores for monitoring BP patients during treatment also remains unclear.
The main objective of this study is to show that there is a concordance between lung disease at 13 months and the existing 9 weeks in newborn babies with cystic fibrosis asymptomatically. This will identify at the first examination at 8 weeks, newborns who have the most impaired lung function at 13 months. To meet this objective an assessment of their lung function at 9 weeks and 1 month will be performed in newborns diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
The main objective of this study is to identify the superficial muscle groups involved in gene-related tremor and assess the reduction in the intensity of the tremor after transient electrical stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in patient with locally advanced or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
To evaluate the possibility of detecting cell-free circulating tumoral DNA in potentially aggressive primary cutaneous lymphomas, the investigator opted to search a representative tumor sample mutation in the blood of these patients, by digital PCR. Patients with mycosis fungoides, primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma helper follicular phenotype and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg-type will be included and 4 blood samples will be collected during 12 months.
The non-invasive estimation of left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVeDP) is a main goal for performing an echocardiography in the routine clinical practice. Conflicting evidence exists about mitral E/e' ratio reliability for predicting high LVeDP
Extubation is a crucial step when patients are being weaned from mechanical ventilator support. Indeed, the patient has to face an increasing burden imposed to the ventilation system. The ability to overcome this event will determine the patient survival. A warning signal could be very useful is this situation. 2 recent studies have shown that measuring diaphragmatic cupolas and muscular fibers thickening fraction could help to spot a population with a high risk of "diaphragmatic weakness", characterized by a high failure extubation rate. This study aims to verify that this kind of group of patients does exist.
