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 investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels at baseline and decrease of the macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness at one year vs. baseline are as good as progression of whole brain atrophy at one year vs. baseline to predict later evolution of neurological disability in multiple sclerosis patients.
MS is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that affects more than 120,000 people in France. The average age of onset of the disease is between 25 and 35 years. Given the wide range of ages of the patients, from 4 to 80 years, the ethical and socio-economic stakes are high in order to maintain their autonomy, sociability, family and intimate life, and their employment in the best possible conditions and for as long as possible. However, to date, there are no evaluation tools in French that allow us to understand the difficulties at work of MS patients. The Multiple Sclerosis Work Difficulties Questionnaire (MSWDQ-23) was developed specifically for MS patients and validated in English [1]. There is a short version of this questionnaire that facilitates its use in clinical practice [2]. It has been translated and validated in Spanish through a multicenter study, and is currently being validated in German, but does not currently exist in French [3]. The main objective of the WORKSEP project is to validate the French version of this questionnaire through a multicenter population-based cohort within the framework of the French-speaking Multiple Sclerosis Society (SFSEP). This validation study will involve the inclusion of 206 French-speaking MS patients, regardless of their professional status, all forms of MS combined, from the early stage (Clinically Isolated Syndrome) to the more advanced stages (primary and secondary progressive forms).
This study will evaluate real-world outcomes for the SAPIEN 3 Ultra Transcatheter Heart Valve System in transcatheter aortic valve implantation centres that are implementing minimalist periprocedural practices and facilitating early discharge home.
The purpose of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CC-96673 in adult participants with Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (R/R NHL). The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A, monotherapy dose escalation and Part B, monotherapy dose expansion.
Approximately 24 million people worldwide suffer from dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause. Alzheimer's disease typically progresses in three stages: presymptomatic, prodromal ("early onset" or minor cognitive impairment) and major cognitive impairment with loss of autonomy and significant psycho-behavioral symptoms. Efforts to counteract its expansion are increasing, and there is a need for biomarkers to identify the disease in its earliest stage in order to provide prompt treatment. Faced with a episodic memory disorder, it is possible, thanks to certain criteria, highlighted by neuroimaging, or by biomarkers obtained by biological analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (during a lumbar puncture), to detect Alzheimer's disease from the prodromal stage, or even earlier. The main limitation of these criteria is their invasive nature. Other non-invasive biomarkers would therefore be useful to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an early stage. Gustatory evoked potentials (GEP), a technique for exploring taste sensory pathways, could meet these needs. Indeed, GEPs are a method of exploring the gustatory sensory pathway based on the recording of cerebral electrical activity by electroencephalography (EEG). It is a painless, accessible, inexpensive and non-invasive technique. The alteration of gustatory functions is present in many neurological conditions, but often takes second place to sensory or motor symptoms. Rare studies have studied taste in patients with Alzheimer's disease, but they have demonstrated, using subjective tests only, an early gustatory impairment linked to a degeneration of the gustatory cortex. It was observed that the performance of subjects with minor or major cognitive impairment was weaker than that of healthy subjects, without the patient being aware of these taste disorders. The aim of the study is to explore taste functions in patients with minor cognitive impairment, major cognitive impairment such as mild Alzheimer's disease, by comparing them to healthy subjects. For this purpose, we wish to compare the results of subjective taste tests (tasting solutions, especially salty ones, answering food preference questionnaires), parameters of taste evoked potentials recorded by electrodes stuck on the scalp and hormonal parameters obtained by blood sampling, between the three groups of subjects mentioned.
The diagnosis and the follow-up of acromegalic patients are based on the mesurement of Growth hormone (GH) and IGF1 rates. However, the literature described some cases of patient for whom the investigators observed a discrepancy between GH and IGF1 rates. Since the acromegaly is a rare disease and this phenomenon concerns about 30% of these patients, there is a lack of investigations about consequences that this discordance may induces. In this study, the investigators aimed at assessing if patients with discordance between GH and IGF1 rates present a different risk of recurrence and complications related to acromegaly, from patients with concordant results.
A Prospective Randomized, Multi-center, International, Single-blind, Clinical trial compared the Selution DEB strategy versus DES strategy.
The development of new diagnostic tools and targeted therapy have significantly improved the management of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas and thus their long-term prognosis. However, in the study of improved patient management, survival is not the only measurable indicator and preservation of quality of life is an essential component. In addition, there is little existing data regarding the determinants of quality of life in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL) in the general population in France.
Eculizumab is an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody approved for rare diseases including atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome. The maintenance phase dosing regimen is identical for all adult patients but several studies have shown a high interindividual kinetics variability. A tailored administration of eculizumab based on therapeutic drug monitoring will be compared with real-life administration in adults suffering from an atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome. The objective is to improve efficiency of eculizumab administration.
Prospective, open-label, randomized, single-center study evaluating the benefit of a months long monthly telephone follow-up for patients with chronic disorders following the after-effects of anti-cancer treatments after an intensive rehabilitation stay versus standard follow-up.
