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.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease but, paradoxically, and unlike other autoimmune diseases, antiplatelet antibodies are not used either for the diagnosis of the disease or for its prognosis. ITP is a diagnosis of exclusion retained after elimination of other pathologies leading to a thrombocytopenia. No major study has prospectively evaluated the diagnostic value of the presence of anti-platelet antibodies in the etiological investigation of a thrombocytopenia, nor the impact of platelet antibodies on the course of ITP. The gold standard analysis for the determination of platelet antibodies, is the "monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigens" assay (MAIPA), either direct to detect autoantibodies attached to platelets, or indirect to detect circulating antiplatelet antibodies. Therefore, this work aims to study the contribution of the presence of anti-platelet antibodies detected in MAIPA to determine the autoimmune nature of a thrombocytopenia at diagnosis.
The European database ESADA, containing data from more than 30,000 patients with very different severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, prospectively collects data from patients referred to academic sleep laboratories in many European countries (https://esada.med.gu.se/). Since 2007, Grenoble is one of the two French centers with Paris and is a very active participant in this European database for patient inclusion and data exploitation. The first objective of the "ESADA Follow-up and outcomes" project is to collect cardiovascular events during the follow-up of patients in the European database through telephone interviews and a structured questionnaire. Other objectives are to collect metabolic events, incident cancers and deaths in the same population using the same mean. An additional objective is to assess the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, the reference treatment for OSA) on the occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic events and incident cancers, as this is still discussed in the literature.
Current increase in the number of multidisciplinary consultations, but little documentation on their impact on patient management. More specifically, in the context of psoriatic arthritis, we are seeking to investigate the interest for the patient, through his or her satisfaction and the evolution of the activity of his or her pathology, of a global, joint management in Rheumatology and Dermatology.
The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease is 12.2% in France. Intermittent claudication is the most common symtom of this disease. During physical exercise, such as walking, blood oxygen (O2) requirements increase. The development of atherosclerosis in the lower limbs, causes narrowing of the arteries and limits the increase in blood flow required for muscular effort. Patients then experience muscle pain, the intensity of which gradually increases until it forces them to stop. After stopping, the pain subsides and disappears in less than 10 minutes. The location of the pain (calves and/or thighs and/or buttocks) is related to the location of the ischemia (distal in the calf, proximal in the thigh or buttock, or proximo-distal if several locations). This can have different consequences on the biomechanical parameters of walking and muscle activity. To date, the impact of this localization on physical capacity has never been studied. These limitations are very disabling and impact the quality of life of patients. In addition, poor lower limb performance is associated with higher mortality. Reducing symptomatology and improving functional abilities is therefore a major issue in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This can be achieved through the practice of an Adapted Physical Activity, an essential recommendation in the care of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Our main hypothesis is that the physical activity rehabilitation protocol "Activ'AO" will improve the functional capacities of patients with peripheral arterial disease who have followed the program with the localization of ischemia with a greater consideration than in patients in the group following a "standard" APA protocol. Improvements in functional abilities (such as walking) will lead to improvements in quality of life.
Limitation of donor site and significant postoperative morbidity are often described in connective tissue graft. We want to show if mucogain matrix used in tunnel technique to recover RTI Cairo recessions defects could be an alternative to connective tissue graft
Covid 19 cause an olfactory loss in more than 80% of cases. This loss most often regresses but leaves 20% of patients with an olfactory complaint, particularly with regard to the quality of daily life. The neuro-cognitive implications involved with COVID19 and the consequences of persistent olfactory loss remain unknown. The effectiveness of therapeutic management, in particular olfactory re-education, has not yet been clarified. Objectives are the assessment of patients olfactory disorders, psychiatrics and neurocognitives specificities after a COVID, before and after treatment or specific cares.
The recent ARRIVE trial conducted in United States of America in 2014-2017 demonstrates that elective induction of labor at 39 weeks for nulliparous women did result in a significantly lower frequency of cesarean delivery with no significant differences of adverse perinatal outcomes. But the expected benefits of elective labor induction at 39 weeks have to be confirmed in other settings outside US before considering routine induction of labor for all low-risk nulliparous women at 39 weeks of gestation worldwide.
This retrospective monocentric study compares 2 ventilatory support strategies on outcomes (length of stay, intubation, mortality) in patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit with Covid-19 related pneumonia : invasive strategy used during the first period and non-invasive strategies (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, High Flow Nasal Canula, Prone Position) used during the second period.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib versus placebo administered prior to gemcitabine and carboplatin in patients receiving first- or second-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable/metastatic TNBC.
