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.
PhysioFlow® (PF®) is a new cardiac output (CO) monitoring method by impedance cardiography (IC), never studied in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The aim of the study was to compare CO and cardiac index (CI) measurements (IC) by trans-thoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTE) (COTTE and CITTE) and PF® (COIC and CIIC) in PICU.
Determination of risk factors of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) after implantation of continuous flow left ventricular assist device in order to characterize which patient requires ICD implantation in primary prevention.
This is a multicenter, cohort study based on medico-administrative data from pathology laboratory registries and drug reimbursement files (CNAM-TS).
The main objective of this study is to estimate the intrinsic diagnostic qualities of the digital dPCR in the screening of T21 from a multicentrique sample of patients with pregnancies at high risk of T21 (risk > 1/250). The profit expected from this technique is to propose to the encircled women a screening more successful than that of the screening combined(organized) of the 1st quarter, simple of realization and in a moderate cost. We thus propose here an original alternative(alternate) method to the exclusive, expensive and binding techniques of top-debit(-flow). The recent technical improvements and his(her,its) advantages medical - economic allow to envisage a reliable, strong and long-lasting use of the dPCR in clinical routine in the DPNI of T21 in most of the laboratories. This pilot project could serve for the later development of a study of clinical validation multicentrique of large scale(big turntable ladder).
This study will help to better characterize oral and written language disorders and determine if these disorders are continuous or not. The participants ( dyslexic and dysphasic patients and control adults) will carry out an auditory lexical decision task during which an electroencephalogram (EEG) will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of pemigatinib as a monotherapy in the treatment of metastatic or surgically unresectable urothelial carcinoma harboring FGF/FGFR alterations.
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently identified rare disease characterized by inflammatory lesions with polyclonal lymphoplasmocytic infiltrate, with IgG4+ plasma cells predominance, and fibrosis in involved tissues. Despite a preferential involvement of exocrine organs, virtually all tissues can be affected by the disease. Corticosteroids are usually effective in this indication, but with poor tolerance and a high risk of relapse after decrease or withdrawal of this treatment. In this context, identification of new therapeutic targets is a major concern for these patients. Physiopathology of IgG4-RD remains actually unknown. In previous studies, it has been shown that T follicular Helper (Tfh) cells are expanded in the blood of these patients. Tfh cells have an important role in the formation of germinal centers (GCs), and ectopic GCs have been found in tissues of patients with IgG4-RD. Tfh cells have a major role in proliferation and differentiation of B cell compartment. In this context, this population could have an important contribution in the pathophysiology of IgG4-RD and could represent a therapeutic target in this disease. TIFOLH4 study intend to analyze tissue Tfh cells in patients with IgG4-RD at diagnosis. This study is an exploratory prospective multicentric study. Thirty patients with a suspected diagnosis of IgG4-RD, because of 1 or more suggestive organ involved, will be included in the study. A 50 mL blood sample and a biopsy, obtained in the same time of the diagnostic biopsy sample, will be obtained in this study. The results obtained in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of IgG4-RD (" IgG4-RD group ") will be compared to results of patients with another diagnosis (" control group "). Main objective of the study is to show by confocal microscopy an expansion of the number of Tfh cells (CD3+CD4+PD1+ cells) in tissue of IgG4-RD patients compared to controls. Secondary objectives include : tissue analysis of Tfh subsets (Tfh1, Tfh2 and Tfh17) ; tissue analysis of B regulatory cells, T regulatory cells, and T helper cells (Th1, Th2, Th17); correlation between tissue and circulating biomarkers; tissue proteomic analysis; and functional analysis of circulating Tfh cells after sorting of these cells and co-culture tests with autologous naive B cells. All these results will be compared between the " IgG4-RD group " and the " control group ". This study should clarify the role of these Tfh populations in IgG4-RD, identify diagnostic tissue and blood biomarkers, and identify therapeutic targets in these patients.
Numerous experimental and clinical studies have shown that preterm neonates are particularly sensitive to stress. Preterm neonates routinely undergo painful invasive procedures. Each situation causing pain or discomfort can alter their development and cause short term cardiovascular consequences but also have long-term neurocognitive influences. Repetitive procedural pain can also lead to changes in the pain sensitivity threshold therefore. The most common painful procedures are lancing for blood glucose testing. In adults, infants and term newborns, forearm blood glucose testing has been demonstrated to be less painful than conventional sites (heel, fingers). But data is lacking in preterm neonates. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate a significant reduction in pain response during forearm blood lancing vs conventional sites (fingers, heel) in preterm neonates born up to 32 weeks gestation. This study is an interventional multicenter (3 centers), randomized, double bind trial with a cross over assignment. 60 premature neonates born between 23 to 32 weeks. Gestation with a postnatal age less than 72 hours that will undergo at least 3 blood glucose pricks will be included. The different sites will be randomly successively tested.
The aim of this interventional, randomized, double-blind, monocentric, cross-over study is to quantify the possible deleterious effect on the cardiac autonomic nervous system control of two long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilatators (tiotropium and glycopyrronium) and one beta-2 agonist long-acting bronchodilatator (indacaterol ) in patients with mild COPD.
During childbirth, the recommendations have evolved to a restriction of episiotomy. This reduction results in an increase of superficial vaginal and perineal tears. These lesions are usually routinely sutured which often causes the onset of discomfort and pain in the immediate postpartum period. Gordon showed, in 1998, improved comfort and pain when the skin was not sutured perineal tears during the second degree. Others have compared different techniques in the same indications (separated points running suture, biological adhesive) without demonstrated impact. These studies were not interested in isolated perineal tears or first degree or the application of a simple manual compression with or without a suture according to the result of hemostasis. Our objective is to evaluate the possibility of not suture the perineum of the first degree. The use of suture only result of bleeding not yielding to manual compression. Our approach is guided by the principles of "primum non nocere" and discerning about the dogmatic systematization.
