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.
Evaluate 2 medical devices on pain average and/or anxiety average in the totally Implanted Venous Access Device (IVAD) procedure under local anesthesia.
Brain 18F-FDG PET (positron emission tomography) is recognised as having a good negative predictive value in the search for a neurodegenerative origin of cognitive disorders. Indeed, a ratio of 0.1 on the occurrence of worsening cognitive disorders has been reported in case of normal brain FDG PET. However, the risk of developing objective cognitive disorders in patients with no cognitive complaints is estimated at 8% per year and the risk of developing dementia in patients with mild cognitive disorders at 22% per year. Cerebral 18F-FDG PET is a prognostic factor for the occurrence of unusual clinical manifestations (MCI) or the conversion of MCI to Alzheimer's disease, but we do not really know the impact on the longer term occurrence of cognitive impairment in patients with normal cerebral 18F-FDG PET. Only a longitudinal study will allow us to really know the true negative predictive value of a normal 18F-FDG PET scan and the factors associated with a risk of dementia in these subjects. This will allow us to better understand the prognostic impact of a normal brain 18F-FDG PET scan and to identify a sub-population that remains at risk, including in the case of normal brain 18F-FDG PET.
Extracts of sage have been reported to interact with central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms relevant to cognitive performance but, to date, no trial has clearly demonstrated the possible effects in healthy individuals in fatiguing conditions. The current study investigates the effects of this supplementation in healthy males and females versus placebo on cognition, heart rate and perceived exertion, during a fatiguing cycling exercise.
The study will aim to estimate the efficacy of apremilast compared with placebo in the treatment of juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) in pediatric participants 5 to less than 18 years of age.
The aim of the PREHENS-STROKE study is to propose a functional replacement device to restore grip capacities in patients with hemiparesis after stroke, unable to actively open the hand to seize objects. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of a self-controlled prehension neuroprosthesis on the ability to perform a standardized grasping task, consisting of grasping, relocating and releasing a glass (palmar grasp) or a spoon (key-pinch), compared to a condition without the use of the prehension neuroprosthesis.
Recent studies suggest that patients with an history of trauma may represent a specific subtype of anorexia nervosa (AM) underlined by specific neurobiological and psychopathological mechanisms. Thus, AM-T subjects would manifest cognitive (specific difficulties in executive functions), emotional (emotional disruption, impulsivity, etc.) and neurobiological (secretion of kynurenine and neurokinins in the face of stress) caracteristics different from those of AM subjects.
In this before-after multicenter study the authors tested the hypothesis that the prophylactic use of aprotinin compared to tranexamic acid could reduce the proportion of patients presenting severe perioperative bleeding.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the contribution of the vacuum suspension system in an ecological environment on the fitting's comfort compared to the vacuum suspension system inactive system in a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, multiple N-of-1 trial. In order to assess the therapeutic effect of the vacuum suspension system, given the heterogeneity of the population and the small number of patients eligible for the study, the multiple N-of-1 trial seems to us to be the methodology. The principle is to evaluate intensively and prospectively a small group of subjects, each case being its own comparator.
Prospective pathophysiological exploratory monocentric study, focusing on adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) : non-squamous type without oncogenic addiction, metastatic, treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy in front line at the CHRU de Tours, France.
The ABC-HCC trial is a Phase IIIb, randomised, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus TACE in patients with intermediate-stage HCC. Approximately 434 patients in two arms of treatment will be enrolled.
