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.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multi-site study based on existing data from medical records of patients treated with Gi(l)otrif® as part of the routine treatment according to the approved label. Data from real-world will help to understand if dose modifications are done similar as in LUX-Lung 3 trial and if the outcome on safety and effectiveness are as in trial settings. Furthermore, data on modified starting doses, the underlying reasons and effects on safety and outcome are needed.
In order to assess the important issue of the safety of antiangiogenic TKI in geriatric population we set up this project which aims to identify, among clinical, biological, pharmacokinetic data, predictive factors for severe toxicity of antiangiogenic TKI (sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, regorafenib, axitinib) in patients over 70 year-old.
RAS genotyping is mandatory for the prescription of anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) therapies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The standard genotyping is assessed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue. This study compares RAS and BRAF genotyping results achieved in analyzing circulating plasma DNA using OncoBEAM™ technique with those achieved using the standard genotyping techniques and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples.
Little is known about potential relationships between sleep apnea, plasma aldosterone and diastolic dysfunction which is a very frequent finding among patients requiring permanent cardiac pacing. Sleep apnea is often under diagnosed by clinical examination. Confirmation tests are expensive and access is limited. A specific algorithm available in a recent pacemaker allows assessing breathing variations using minute ventilation sensor, with a good agreement between the respiratory disturbance index and polysomnography results for the diagnosis of severe sleep apnea. The purpose of the study is to examine the diagnostic accuracy of a new pacemaker algorithm for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in patients presenting with diastolic dysfunction. The investigators also aim to highlight a correlation between plasma aldosterone levels and the severity of sleep apnea, with a reversal effect of ventilation therapy in this specific population.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the cornerstone of the care of intermediate and high-risk non ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS). Revascularization reduces the rate of cardiovascular death and recurrent myocardial infarction in this clinical setting. The recommendation regarding the timing of intervention in this clinical setting is derived from old trials and has a weak level of evidence. In fact, there are no conclusive randomized trials in the contemporary era providing guidance on the optimal timing of intervention. In addition, the optimal timing of this critical intervention has not been studied since the development of new P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonists and the controversy surrounding the use of pretreatment with a P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonist before intervention. Early intervention in intermediate and high-risk non ST-elevation ACS is not well validated to date. In addition, the recent changes in the use of pretreatment with P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonists may impact on the potential benefit of an early intervention. Based on these evidences, we hypothesize that with the current protocols of care without pretreatment with a P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonist, an early PCI (<2 hours) would be superior to a delayed (between 12 to 72 hours) PCI in the setting of intermediate or high-risk non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome to prevent cardiovascular death and ischemic recurrences.
Several studies showed that radiotherapy as brain tumors treatment may affect cognition. It was observed that durable memory impairments could arise at irradiated patients if radiotherapy is applied on medial temporal lobes. However, results concerned studies of anterograde memory and none, this day, estimates the impact of radiotherapy on autobiographical memory which also involves hippocampus. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of cavernous sinus or sellar region irradiation on autobiographical memory. Thirty 35 to 65 years old patients, with cavernous sinus meningioma or pituitary adenoma for who radiotherapy is indicated will be recruited.
For almost 17 % of cases patients over 75 years are sent for inappropriate reasons to the emergency unit. They are described as inappropriate hospitalization because they don't require the use of technical platform or diagnostic neither therapeutic procedures under medical supervision. Those are inappropriate because the patient could have a paramedical and social care at home or in more efficient structures. The hospital remains the place of remedy for social and health situations whose resolution was not possible because of a lack of infrastructure available, of patient or his relative information, or a lack of coordination in medico-social establishment. These inappropriate hospitalizations involve an increase of length of stay that enhancing the fragility and vulnerability of the elderly. They have deleterious effects as decompensation, comorbidities and loss of autonomy. Moreover, the suffering of natural or informal caregivers is also an important public health question; Caregivers may have a serious disease resulting from caring their relative. That leads to increase their consumption of health care and medical goods. This comprehensive study will highlight the deficiencies of the actual health care through the analysis of the speech of the different parts involved (main study). Simultaneously, a comparative analysis of the costs of health care will be conducted (economic combined study).
The urinary tract infections are common in children. It is estimated that about 3% of girls and 1% of boys suffer from a urinary tract infection before the age of 11 years. A prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary for the prevention of morbidity and long-term sequelae. Currently, there are different methods of urine collection, such as suprapubic aspiration, the survey, the collection bag and the jet medium collection. They have in common to be time-consuming, invasive in some cases, providers of contaminated levies for others and impossible in children incontinent for the last. A Spanish study developed a new collection technique, for kidney and bladder stimulation, noninvasive, in the new-born to 30-day months. The results are promising with a success rate of over 85% within a period of about 45s. No study has looked at a broader pediatric population, including children from birth to age of acquisition of walking. We hypothesize that it is possible to obtain urine in less than 3 minutes, noninvasively, in infants who have not acquired the works for which a urine sample is required.
This study evaluates the benefit in women aged from 30 to 65 years, who do not participate to the French opportunistic cervical cancer screening program, of an organized screening with the proposition by the family physician of a pap-test (usual care) versus a self-collected vaginal sample (and a HPV-test). 24 family physicians will participate and will be randomized in the usual care arm (12) or in the self-sampling arm (12). Our hypothesis is that organizing the screening for these women involving their family physician will major participation, and that the self-sampling option will amplify this increase.
The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the relationships between multiple data from cochlear implant (CI) adult users to and to estimate predictive models of their fitting parameters. In a group of patients, the Electrically-evoked Compound Action Potentials (ECAP) will be collected intra-operatively and the correlation with demographic data (deafness duration, age deafness onset, etiology, duration of cochlear implant use of CI), auditory performances and subjective measures used for implant fitting (hearing threshold and most comfortable level) will be calculated. In a second group of experienced users (more than 9months of use of their CI), ECAP and Electrically-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (EABR) will be collected after 9 months of CI experience and after 12 months or more of use. Correlation analyzes with demographic data, performance and fitting parameters will be performed as well. Statistical predictive models for both fitting at the activation or in experienced users should be developed according to the correlation analysis. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of simultaneous stimulation on hearing performances. Simultaneous stimulations will be delivered in one ear (bimodal condition) in patients using an Electro-Acoustic Stimulation device (EAS) or in the two ears (binaural condition) for bilateral CI users. ECAP, EABR and speech perception will be measured and compared in the different conditions.
