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 damage caused by patient falls is a major public health problem, due to the large and growing number of people concerned, the potentially serious consequences but also the financial cost generated by their care. These consequences can be physical as well as psychological. Fractures and pain are the first consequences that come to mind, but many others should be mentioned: post-fall syndrome, loss of autonomy or even entering an institution, fear of falling, loss of confidence in itself.
Compare the experience of patients receiving an "optimized" preoperative anesthesia consultation (PAC) performed by a Nurse Anesthetist (supervised by an anesthetist) to those receiving a "standard" CSA ( CSA by an anesthetist alone).
Abdominopelvic bleeding can occur due to numerous causes including for the vast majority, trauma, surgery complications and tumors. Interventional radiologists often exclude arterial acute hemorrhage using cyanoacrylate or a liquid embolic agent, but few prospective results have been published to assess their efficacy and safety. The historic and most studied liquid embolic agent to date is Onyx. Results in the treatment of acute peripheral non-neurologic hemorrhage have been detailed in a meta-analysis published in 2015. This systematic review found 19 articles presenting 131 patient cases and 150 lesions treated with Onyx from 2005 to August 2014. There were 11 case series and 8 case reports but no prospective trial. The most common presenting symptoms were of gastrointestinal (GI) origin (n = 51). Rebleeding of the baseline lesion occurred in 7/131 patients. No deaths resulting from complications of the embolic procedure were reported. One patient died of persistent hemoptysis after treatment with Onyx. No deaths were directly attributable to the use of Onyx. During a peripheral embolization procedure with available embolic agents other than SQUIDPERI, residual feedings or collateral vessels became gradually less visible to the operator due to the high radiopacity of the liquid. It was therefore essential to develop an embolization system with lower radiopacity, or with radiopacity that decreases over time. Additionally, depending on the angioarchitecture and flow characteristics, it is important to have an embolic agent with various viscosities. SQUIDPERI is a liquid embolic agent with various viscosities and radiopacities. It is indicated for the embolization of lesions in the peripheral vasculature but its use is poorly reported as of today. The purpose of this prospective non interventional multicenter study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SQUIDPERI for the treatment of abdominopelvic arterial acute bleeding or imminent risk of bleeding.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of VX-880 infusion in participants with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) and severe hypoglycemia.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, first appeared in China, and then spread around the world. In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown origin were infected after exposure to the market in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Very quickly, a new coronavirus was isolated from a sample of a patient's lower respiratory tract and the entire virus genome was sequenced. This new coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for its genetic homology with SARS-CoV-2, has shown worldwide expansion. Thus, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 epidemic as a threat to public health at the international level, then, in March 2020, the global situation degenerated into a pandemic. . Johns Hopkins University has reported more than 7,600,000 cases of infections and more than 427,000 deaths as of June 13, 2020. Due to the rapid progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and the limited capacity of molecular laboratory tests, the concept of delocalized molecular tests appears to be relevant. Indeed, the urgent need to increase testing for COVID-19 has been clearly identified as an essential part of the strategy to combat the coronavirus worldwide. In fact, COVID-19 represents a major public health problem currently causing a rapidly increasing number of infections and significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As of July 1, 2020, more than 10 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. As of December 20, 2020, this tally is 76,624,363 cases of contamination and 1,690,658 deaths following Johns Hopkins University
SARS-CoV-2 infection was identified as responsible for several cases of pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndromes described in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. A global epidemic has spread since and the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared in March 2020 the state of a global pandemic. As the spread of the virus accelerates, several countries are implementing containment strategies to stem the epidemic. The context of an influx of patients and congestion in healthcare establishments requires rapid and reliable diagnostic solutions for SARS-CoV-2 infection in order to enable patients to be properly referred. These solutions will represent fundamental tools in the management of new epidemic waves, both in terms of health and economics.
Treatment of tauopathies such as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD) remains a major challenge. These rare severe neurodegenerative extrapyramidal movement disorders share phenotypic overlap and are usually painful. Parkinson disease (PD) is a common extrapyramidal movement disorder and continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) is commonly used in advanced PD patients to alleviate motor and non-motor fluctuations. Effects of subcutaneous apomorphine were investigated especially on pain and, on quality of life in 7 patients with PSD or CBD.This is an observational "real life" surveillance-based study.The Verbal Rating Scale for Pain (VRS) was used to assess changes in pain level and the clinical global impression-improvement scale (CGI-I) was used to assess changes in patient's illness before and during six months of treatment. Detailed report of the symptoms and side effects has been recorded by home nurses throughout the study period.

This is a Phase II, randomized, blinded, active-controlled, global, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lomvastomig and tobemstomig, compared with nivolumab, in patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine- or taxane- and platinum-based regimen. Following approval of the protocol amendment version 3, recruitment into the lomvastomig arm has been stopped. The decision to stop recruitment for lomvastomig was based on strategic considerations and not based on emerging safety and/or efficacy data. The benefit/risk assessment for lomvastomig remains unchanged. The study was planned to enroll participants randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive lomvastomig, tobemstomig, or nivolumab. With version 3 of the protocol, recruitment into the lomvastomig arm has stopped, and moving forward, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either tobemstomig or nivolumab.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergency reception services had to be radically reorganized. In this tense environment, professionals must face ethical dilemmas, make referral decisions and prioritize patients. Due to the limited number of visits to many hospitals, interactions with relatives and families of patients are mainly conducted by phone. These limitations will continue as long as the context of uncertainty over the course of the pandemic persists. Limitation or discontinuation of treatment (LDT) announcements were therefore also impacted and the exceptional situation related to COVID-19 reinforces the difficulties encountered by professionals in usual time (place of announcement, inappropriate lack of time, etc.). Thus, LDTs are most often done over the phone without the families being able to go to the hospital. Because of this, these announcements can be more traumatic. Investigators have already highlighted in a recent study the lack of communication between caregivers and families in the context of LDT announcements and the context of COVID 19 exacerbated these aspects given the limitations of visits. The investigators therefore propose to study the experiences of families who are notified of a decision to limit or stop treatment by phone in the emergency room during the COVID-19 crisis.
