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 aim of this project is to identify common genetic polymorphisms associated with the occurrence of rhythmic events in patients with severe cardiomyopathy.
this study aims to validate a picture data set that particularly activates the attachment process and that could be used in attachment studies.
The study aims to identify specific visual scanning patterns of attachment pictures in adolescent with different attachment style.
Primary Objective The primary objective of the study was to establish the effects of givinostat versus placebo administered chronically over 18 months to slow disease progression in ambulant DMD subjects. Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives of this study were: - To assess the safety and tolerability of givinostat versus placebo administered chronically in DMD subjects - To evaluate the PK profile of givinostat administered chronically in DMD subjects - To evaluate the impact on quality of life (QoL) and activities of daily living of givinostat versus placebo administered chronically.
A point-of-care laboratory (POC) was set at North Hospital, Marseille, France for the diagnosis in less than two hours of pneumonia caused by known pathogens, close to the reception of Emergency service. In this instance 30% of patients have no etiological diagnosis after the POC tests Pneumonia. This lab has discovered over 200 new species of bacteria in humans, including vector bacteria and opened the field of large Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA ) viruses. Also, the laboratory of emerging viruses discovered many Ribo Nucleic Acid (RNA) viruses transmitted by arthropods. Based on this collection of new pathogens described in POC laboratory, this study proposes to expand the etiological diagnosis strategy of pneumonia after POC tests.
In the context of screening for infectious fungal diseases in patients with malignant haemopathy, and particularly patients with acute leukaemia, the investigator aims to evaluate the performance of an already commercialized but little used serum screening test (Fungitell® test) and to determine its place in the management strategy for invasive aspergillosis.
Dry eye syndrome is a benign situation however its impact on patient's quality of live and on health system is not trivial. One problem is the lack of correlation between patient's symptoms and physical sign observed on slit lamp examination. Eye blinking is a parameter of increased interest in this pathology particularly its frequency. To date no treatment of dry eye syndrome has a proven impact on eye blinking frequency. However recording of blinks has mostly been performed on short duration (3 to 5 minutes) and the distribution of intervals between 2 blinks is not gaussian but exponential. In this study, it is proposed to use modern eye-movement recorder to measure the blink frequency on longer duration (12 minutes) while reading on a screen computer and during a face-to-face interview before and after treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction responsible of moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the risk in intra-operative nasal hemorrhage when using a "pushed" probe (Master Ka) in the treatment of naso lacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). In the investigator's experience, this risk seemed to minus using a pushed probe rather than the classical pulled-type probes. A lower risk of hemorrhage could lead to a change in the anesthetic procedure. The gold standard in NLDO is the use of an orotracheal intubation. It could then be replaced by the use of an orolaryngeal mask. A forthcoming study will evaluate the results of this anesthetic change.
HDL in obese non-diabetic patients show major alterations in their function and thus their cardio-protective effects. These alterations could be explained by the quantitative and qualitative anomalies in the phospholipids and sphingolipids in the HDL. These molecules play a major role in HDL function and probably present early modifications in obesity, even before the onset of glycaemia deregulation. The aim of this study is to show the presence of qualitative and quantitative modifications of phospholipids and sphingolipids in HDL from obese patients compared with HDL from non-obese controls.
Fourteen patients will be included for infusion of adenovirus-specific T-cells generated by a clinical grade IFN-γ based immunomagnetic isolation from a leukapheresis from their original donor or a haploidentical donor, in case of Umbilical cord blood transplantation, in the event of refractory ADV infection or disease.
