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.
A study in patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck to evaluate the effectiveness of Nivolumab plus Ipilumumab vs. Nivolumab alone (CheckMate 714)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the endoplasmic reticulum stress markers as predictive for response to hydroxyurea in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET).
This is an international, multicenter, open-label, long-term safety study of ZX008 in subjects with Dravet syndrome.
The aim of this study is to investigate levels of a protein, mannose binding lectin, in patients with acute leukemia who develop or not an invasive fungal infection.
Alcohol misuse affects 5 million people in France. Even though the elderly are also concerned by this pathology, there is not much information about chronic alcohol misuse of this population in particular. Biological markers like gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) are usually used to detect alcohol abuse. As a biological marker of alcohol misuse, the specificity of the CDT is known to be superior to the GGT as well. However, when it comes to the elderly, alcoholism diagnosis tools are based on research of younger populations. This study aims to evaluate the benefit of the CDT to detect chronic alcohol use in the elderly.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic qualities of lung ultrasonography to monitor the position of the intubation probe. The primary assessment criterion is of study the position of the intubation probe with two examinations carried out independently : - sonography - chest radiography A correct position of the intubation probe will be considered if there is : - Highlighting of the extremity of the intubation probe in endo tracheal - Highlighting bilateral lung sliding
The IHU Mediterranean infection is national reference centre for Q fever. Coxiella burnetii is the bacteria responsible of this infection. The bacterium Coxiella burnetii infection is associated with secretion by the body both many antibodies against the bacteria but also against certain cells of the body (autoantibodies). These autoantibodies may have no effect or be associated with specific symptoms. Anti-Phospholipid antibodies are especially prevalent in the Q fever. Apart from this infection, they are associated with thrombocytopenia, obstetric complications, thrombosis and heart valve damage. These conditions have also been described as complications during Q fever. In a retrospective preliminary work on Q fever, we have shown that the presence of high levels of IgG anti-cardiolipin was associated with the presence of valvular and the evolution to endocarditis. Such associations have a therapeutic involvement and must therefore be confirmed. Indeed, if these associations were confirmed, a trans-esophageal ultrasound could be systematically proposed to patients with valvular disease of trans-thoracique ultrasound but IgG anticardiolipin high levels. Other special attention could be given to patients with high autoantibodies.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a debilitating disease that remains (smell, nasal patency, flow) because currently treatment protocols available to us are with a limited efficacy. The assessment of the response to surgical treatment protocols and monitoring the become of patients treated with only drugs should allow investigators to identify the predictive patient's profile for the response. With this prospective data, this study would allow investigators to make a classification of Chronic rhinosinusitis.
Vitamin D has effects on many tissues, and hypovitaminosis D is frequent. In a French survey conducted among 1587 adults, vitamin D insufficiency (<30ng/ml) has been reported in 80% of subjects, including 43% with moderate deficiency (<20ng/ml) and 5% with severe deficiency (<10ng/ml). Because of the possible consequences of hypovitaminosis D (osteomalacia in adults…), the number of vitamin D determination has increased ten-fold since 2005 in France, reaching 4.5 million € in 2011, and with it the costs for health insurance. However, there is currently no consensus on the strategy for detection, diagnosis and treatment of hypovitaminosis D. We propose to develop a predictive clinical score of hypovitaminosis D based on the accurate assessment of solar exposure, vitamin D intakes and hypovitaminosis D risk factors collected through a self-administered questionnaire.
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in industrialized countries. ST elevated acute myocardial infarction is one of its most frequent and deadly manifestation. In the last 20 years, STEMI mortality has been reduced by 50% with the advent of timely reperfusion (primary percutaneous intervention) and significant progression in pharmacologic intervention. However, death and heart failure incidence after STEMI remain elevated: up to 20% at one year. Also, therapeutic management following international guidelines is standardized toward a "one-size fits all" therapeutic management. In order to continue improving myocardial infarction outcomes, there is a need to better understand and individualize therapeutic targets such myocardial reperfusion injury, post reperfusion inflammation, adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling …. This knowledge will allow us to propose new therapeutic strategies and in the long run strive towards personalized medicine. The aim objective of this cohort of STEMI patients is to identify new biological markers of injury and prognosis.
