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.
T-cell adaptive immunity is known to be required to sustain a long term immunoglobulin production and a long term memory against several infections. Previous results suggest a lack in the generation of T-cell responses against CoV-N, M and S proteins among cancer patients exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus highlighting that cancer patients failed to mount a protective T-cell immunity. Given this context, our hypothesis is that COVID-19 vaccine candidates are not immunogenic in some cancer patients. Thus, the monitoring of CD4 and CD8 T-cell responses before and after vaccination might provide information related to the correlation between induction of CD4 T-cells (including helper follicular T-cells) by the vaccine and long-term IgG production (serological index). Additionally, the failure of COVID-19 vaccines in some patients should be monitor carefully in order to provide specific recommendations to avoid COVID-19 infections. The main objective is to assess humoral immune responses following COVID-19 vaccination in a population of cancer patients.
The Cannabinoide Hyperemesis Syndrom (CHS) is defined as a recurrent syndrome of intractable vomiting that occurs in chronic cannabis consumers. The diagnosis is linked to clinical criteria only. The physiopathology of CHS is unknown and we observe an increase of cases with this syndrom since 2016 (Schreck et al., 2018). The aim of this study is to investigate the involvement of exogenous cannabinoids concentrations in chronic cannabis users in the occurrence of CHS.
Esophageal surgery is a complex surgery, with high post-operative morbidity and mortality. The incidence of complications associated with esophagectomy varies from 17% to 74%, in the literature. A section of vagus nerves is conventionally performed during esophagectomy for cancer, because of oncological margins. The vagus nerve is responsible for the parasympathetic innervation at the gastrointestinal level, but also at the cardiac and pulmonary level. The post-operative morbidity of these procedures could be linked in part to the bilateral section of the vagus nerves, because of their impact on the autonomous regulation of this vital functions. The main objective of the study is to find a modification of the sympathomimetic balance pre and post operatively, in patients undergoing esophagectomy.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty liver Disease (NAFLD) is a Public Health problem. NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the world's population. NAFLD includes hepatic complications related to insulin resistance and metabolic inflammation. NAFLD is in fact a continuum of liver abnormalities that progresses from pure steatosis, to Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis-NASH, then to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and even the appearance of primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Although many drugs are being tested for advanced forms of NAFLD, steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis and post-NAFLD cirrhosis, there are currently no drugs with marketing authorization. Excessive and unbalanced dietary intake, excessive physical inactivity and lack of regular physical activity are major contributors to the development of NAFLD. It is therefore logical that the preventive and curative treatment of NAFLD is based on hygienic and dietary measures. Physical exercise alone in patients with NAFLD has been shown to improve liver steatosis even in the absence of weight loss. Proof of concept of the improvement in hepatic steatosis has been shown to be achieved by physical activity, whether or not associated with dietary management. More recently, APA (Adapted Physical Activity) is thus seen as a new modality of care that will become central to the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. The aim of this work is to evaluate the decrease in hepatic steatosis by continuous CAP® and parameters evaluating non-invasive inflammation and hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD subjected to the application of personalized dietary measures without or with the performance of personalized and reproducible physical activity via the prescription of adapted physical activity. The evaluation will be carried out initially, at the end of the operation and 6 months after the end of the operation in order to look for a persistent effect of the modification in lifestyle.
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) who have relapsed or are refractory or intolerant to a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). This study is a global, open label Phase 1b/2 to determine the efficacy and safety of KRT-232 in patients with chronic phase CML (CML-CP) and accelerated phase (CML-AP) who have failed TKI treatments.
This is Phase 2, multinational, randomized, blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ALPN-101 (acazicolcept) in adults with moderate to severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Vaginal laxity" syndrome is an increasingly frequent reason for gynecological consultations. Patients complain above all of a sensation of excessive vaginal looseness. This syndrome can be isolated or associated with genital prolapse. Women with vaginal laxity may experience sexual dysfunction manifested by hypersensitivity during penetration and vaginal gas, resulting in decreased libido. Among urogynecology patients, vaginal laxity has been reported in up to 24% of cases, with a mean discomfort of 5.7 (on a scale of 0 to 10). Vaginal laxity is more common in younger women who have given birth vaginally. Gynecologic examination usually finds widening of the urogenital hiatus during the Valsalva maneuver, suggesting that vaginal laxity may be a manifestation of hyperdistensibility or disinsertion of the levator ani muscles. Campbell et al. noted that vaginal laxity was reported by 38% of 22621 women attending a urogynecology clinic and was associated with vaginal parity, prolapse symptoms, stress, and urinary urgency incontinence, reduced sensation on the ePAQ-PF questionnaire. In an IUGA survey of member physicians, 83% of respondents felt that vaginal laxity was underreported by patients. The most common clinical definition of vaginal laxity is a urinary meatus to vulvar fork distance (GH measure of the POP-Q classification) > or = 4cm. The first-line treatment for vaginal laxity is perineal rehabilitation. If this fails, surgical perineal repair, combining posterior perineorrhaphy and myorrhaphy of the pubo-rectal bundles of the levator ani muscles, can be performed with the aim of narrowing the introital vaginal caliber and improving the symptoms of laxity. This procedure is poorly evaluated in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional and sexological results of surgical perineal repair.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is one of the most common neuromuscular diseases in adults. As respiratory dysfunction is the most common cause of death in patients with DM1, a respiratory disease progression must be monitored combining symptom screening and respiratory function testing, in order to identify the appropriate time to initiate non invasive ventilation (NIV). Dyspnea, one of the main respiratory symptoms, has been little studied in patients with DM1. The main objective of this study is to provide the first multidimensional description of dyspnea in patients with DM1. The secondary objectives are: - To compare respiratory symptoms according to the presence or not of criteria from respiratory function testing to initiate NIV - To assess associations between dyspnea and respiratory function testing - To assess associations between dyspnea and number of Cytosine Thymine Guanine (CTG) repeats - To assess associations between dyspnea and muscular strength - To assess associations between dyspnea and BMI - To assess associations between dyspnea and anxiety or depression - To assess associations between dyspnea and cognitive impairment - To assess associations between dyspnea and quality of life.
Prone position in non-intubated patient has shown some respiratory physiological benefits. Prone positioning in patient intubated with ARDS has shown hemodynamic benefits. We aim to compare hemodynamic assessment before and after prone positioning in non-intubated patient with COVID 19 pneumonia. The study hypothesis is that prone positioning in non-intubated patient improve right ventricular preload, reduce afterload and increase Cardiac index compared to supine position.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus detected in Wuhan, China on December 2019. This virus is responsible for the infectious respiratory disease called Covid-19. The psychological effects of this epidemic are found among the general population, but also healthcare workers. Some studies have shown that psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, denial, anger and fear, post-traumatic stress disorder are emerging among healthcare workers. However, there is currently insufficient data to evaluate the burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the covid-19 epidemic on stress and burnout on healthcare workers and their coping strategies.
