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 was a randomized, double-blind, active controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study evaluating secukinumab monotherapy and adalimumab monotherapy in approximately 850 patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who are naïve to biologic therapy and are intolerant or having inadequate response to conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (also known as non-biologic DMARDs).
This project aims to provide the proof of concept for transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) in the treatment of resistant/persistent Schizophrenia symptoms. The purpose is to investigate the effect of tDCS on symptoms in schizophrenic patients demonstrating a partial response to a first frequently prescribed antipsychotic medication. An early optimization of the therapeutic strategy must constitute an important factor for prognosis. Hypothesize is that tDCS should alleviate symptoms in patients depending on the clinical characteristics. In this study, stimulation is an add-on treatment to antipsychotic medication, and will be used in a broad variety of patients, i.e. in patients with varied durations of illness, various symptoms profiles, and various levels of treatment response. This in turn will allow the determination of the extent to which results can be generalized to varied patient populations, as well as the extent to which various therapeutic targets (e.g. different symptom dimensions, cognitive performance and brain connectivity) may be improved with tDCS. Despite interesting preliminary results, our team is unable to describe optimal non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) response markers. This study is a randomized, double blind, controlled, French multicenter study (11 centers). The investigators plan to include 144 patients with persistent symptoms in schizophrenia. Seventy two subjects will receive active tDCS and 72 subjects will receive sham tDCS (placebo). Hypothesize is a lasting effect of active tDCS on the schizophrenic symptoms as measured by the number of responders, defined as a decrease of at least 25% of symptoms as measured by a standardized clinical scale score (PANSS) between baseline and after the 10-session tDCS regimen. Furthermore, the participants believe that an in depth understanding of the cortical effects of tDCS could constitute an important step towards improving the technique and developing treatment response markers. An analysis of the effects on cortical activity and plasticity markers could be an interesting approach.
To investigate the role of postoperative nausea and vomiting risk factors assessment after cardiac surgery. We designed a randomized controlled study comparing standard care (no risk factor assessment and no intervention) with prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting after cardiac surgery in high risk patients. Prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting by betamethasone (4mg) and/or droperidol (0.625mg) immediately after cardiac surgery, depending on risk factors (if risk score is over 2) in the intervention arm.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients receiving S 95005 + bevacizumab (experimental arm) or capecitabine + bevacizumab (control arm) as first-line treatment for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer in patients non-eligible for intensive therapy.
This study aims to collect patient reported outcomes and assess treatment satisfaction in active cancer patients treated with rivaroxaban for VTE (venous thromboembolism).
Exposure to music improves cognitive function in 'healthy' participants and in brain-damaged patients. However, it is still difficult to understand what precisely in music causes a positive effect : are they emotional components, familiarity or preference which improve cognition or is there any specific effect of music? Moreover, it is not yet possible to characterize the neural and functional links between the brain systems solicited by music and those associated with other cognitive functions enhanced by music. Finally, researches on brain-damaged patients have not exploited the potential effect of music on the level of alert and perceptual awareness, while this type of stimulation could be a valuable tool to improve cognition in patients with a disturbance of consciousness and alertness. The main objective is to describe the impact of music on the brain's response to self-referential or neutral stimuli in brain-damaged patients with persistent consciousness disorder after a coma and in healthy participants.
Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, trial, aiming at to identify the most efficacious dose combination that also satisfies certain safety requirements. It consists in a dose finding study to assess the safety of the combination of different doses of both ruxolitinib and peg-IFN alpha-2a, and a secondary randomized evaluation of the optimal doses found in the first part of the study to a total maximal number of 42 evaluable patients.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on preoperative anxiety of an education and information program conducted prior to non-urgent coronary angiography performed in patients hospitalized at the Nîmes University Hospital.
The main purpose of this study is to compare nivolumab and ipilimumab with the extreme regimen as first line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell of the head and neck cancer
This is an open label, multicenter, dose escalation, phase Ib study to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), by assessing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and preliminary efficacy of selinexor in adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies receiving either R-DHAOx (Group A) or R-GDP (Group B). This dose escalation phase will be followed by an exploratory expansion phase in the same population with 12 patients enrolled in each group, who will receive selinexor at the RP2D. The "3+3" design will be applied for dose escalation. The escalation will be performed independently in two distinct groups: - Group A : Oral selinexor + R-DHAOx for 3 cycles (3-week cycles) - Group B: Oral selinexor + R-GDP for 3 cycles (3-week cycles) The choice of the conventional immunotherapy regimen which will be administered to each patient, R-DHAOx (Group A) or R-GDP (Group B), is left at the investigator's decision before patient's inclusion. Different dose levels for selinexor administration will be examined sequentially in each group by the Dose Escalation Committee (DEC): 4 doses of selinexor per 3-week cycle at 20 mg flat (Dose Level -1, DL-1), 40 mg flat (DL1), 60 mg flat (DL2) or 80 mg flat (DL3) will be taken orally by the patient on D1, D3, D8 and D10 of each cycle (dosing weeks = week 1 and week 2 of each 3-week cycle). Dose escalation will begin at DL1 and will continue until the MTD is exceeded or until the highest dose level defined in the study (DL3) is reached. Dose escalation to the next planned dose level will be decided by the DEC based on the number of DLTs observed during the DLT assessment period. The dose escalation phase will be followed by an exploratory expansion phase in the same two groups (Groups A and B), depending on the decision of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) after review of safety data at the end of dose escalation part. Patients enrolled in the expansion phase will receive selinexor at the RP2D defined by the IDMC, together with either of the conventional regimen R-DHAOx or R-GDP (left at the investigator's choice).
