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.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition of Down syndrome patients. In pediatric practice, there is no way to determine the children with an increased risk. The aim of the study is to determine the reliability of four questionnaires used in pediatric patients in screening of OSA in Down syndrome children. Prospective study where patients are evaluated on airway diseases and aeroallergens sensitization with 2 parental surveys (PSQ-SRBD and CSHQ), otolaryngologic problems by completing by the ENT surgeon 2 others surveys (CAS-15 and SCR), and sleep disease with an overnight polysomnography (PSG), in University Hospital in Nice.
The diagnosis of a ganglionic infringement(achievement) at a patient reached (affected) by a prostate cancer is a factor(mailman) of bad forecast. The locoregional ganglionic staging is a very important element in the coverage (care). He allows to determine the local extension of the disease and the type(chap) of therapeutics to implement(operate) after the surgery. The standard cleaning out at present recommended by the European company (society) of urology at the patients at intermediate or high risk of second offense (recurrence) after local treatment(processing), has to concern the obturating pit, the internal and external iliac territories. However this type(chap) of cleaning out does not seem to solve all the problems of locoregional stratification. Indeed, several studies concerning the radio-controlled cleaning out highlighted that 10 in 30% of ganglions.
The objective of this study is to assess concordance between two different laboratory methods for determination of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) status in participants with gastric and gastro-esophageal junction carcinomas in routine practice compared to centralized analysis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) methods are compared in this study.
Apart from objective criteria for the evaluation of oral health (CAO, CPI…), there are no scales to evaluate the oral health of patients with schizophrenia. The only scales that do exist are for the population at large, children or the elderly. Given the severely deteriorated oral health in these schizophrenic populations, it is important to have a tool to evaluate their perception of the quality of their oral health so as to better orientate prevention programmes. The aim of this study is to validate a tool to measure the perception of oral health in patients with schizophrenia. To do this, patients will be invited to complete a series of self-questionnaires relative to the concept of oral health.
Increasing rates of highly malignant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract cancers (GBTC) observed in Western populations may be related to obesogenic lifestyle factors and their metabolic consequences, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS), inflammation and altered production of bile acids (BA). Such lifestyle behaviours may induce changes in the gut microflora which in turn affect BA profiles, increasing their carcinogenicity. Some elevated BA may be oncogenic in exposed liver, bile ducts and gall bladder. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy may change bile acid composition. The aims of this study are: 1. whether specific presurgical bila acid profiles are predictive of efficacy of vertical sleeve gastrectomy, reflective of liver function and metabolic dysfunction; 2. whether specific presurgical bile acid profiles are predictive of the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy
The primary objective of this study is to study the vaginal flora colonisation equivalence between the tablet and capsule dosage forms of a treatment with Lcr Regenerans® between D0 (V1) and Dend of treatment.
This study will evaluate the role of addition of an anti-angiogenic agent (Nintedanib/placebo) to conventional combination chemotherapy as concomitant and maintenance treatment in primary advanced or with first relapse of endometrial cancer.
Balloon predilatation of the aortic valve has been regarded as an essential step during the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. However, recent evidence suggested that aortic valvuloplasty may be harmful and that high success rate may be obtained without prior dilatation of the valve. We hypothesize that TAVI performed without predilatation and using new generation balloon expandable prothesis is associated with a better net clinical benefit in comparison with procedure performed with pre dilatation.
The optimal management of calcium and phosphate metabolism regulation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important in preventing fracture risk and vascular calcification and thus morbidity and mortality, global and vascular. Kidney transplant in a CKD context, usually with a pre-existing underlying renal osteodystrophy, malnutrition, chronic inflammation, hypogonadism and immunosuppression protocols still often made up of high-dose corticosteroid therapy, are all theoretical factors of post-transplantation bone disease. For other solid organ transplants, even though there is generally no underlying renal osteodystrophy before the transplant, the proportion of osteoporotic patients at the time of transplant is substantial. The bone risk in the immediate post-transplant period is notable. Patients' follow-up is based on biological, radiological and histological tools. Bone densitometry (DXA) is used to measure bone mass. However, recent international recommendations do not consider DXA as a valid tool to assess bone health in CKD patients. Moreover, it is less informative than peripheral quantitative tomography resolution (HR-pQCT). This latest technique, available in Lyon and Saint-Etienne, is more precise, allowing a three-dimensional study of the trabecular microarchitecture and compartmental volumetric bone density (total, cortical, trabecular), while similar to DXA in terms of radiation (less than 5 μSv). The prevention of cardiovascular risk factors is also part of the daily care of patients with a regular cardiac monitoring (heart ultrasound) and vascular (blood pressure, Doppler of the supra-aortic trunks). TRANSOS study aims to evaluate in a prospective cohort (longitudinal follow-up of 6 months), the bone status in patients receiving solid organ transplantation in the University Hospitals of Lyon and Saint-Etienne, using DXA and HR-pQCT (at baseline and month 6), in combination with classical biological and cardiovascular monitoring. Transplantation is an important activity in these two hospitals and this protocol provides the same bone follow-up for all solid organ transplants, with a reliable, efficient, non-invasive and low-dose radiation tool. The primary objective of TRANSOS study is to evaluate changes in tibial cortical density between the baseline and the 6th month post-transplant measured by HR-pQCT.
This multicenter study will be conducted to compare the effect of FF/UMEC/VI with FF/VI plus UMEC on lung function after 24 weeks of treatment. This is a phase IIIB, 24-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel group multicenter study. This study will test the hypothesis that the difference in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between treatment groups is less than or equal to a pre-specified non-inferiority margin. Alternatively, this study will also test the hypothesis that the difference between treatment groups is greater than the margin. The triple therapy of FF/UMEC/VI in a single inhaler is being developed with the aim of providing a new treatment option for the management of advanced Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Group D COPD which will reduce the exacerbation frequency, allow for a reduced burden of polypharmacy, convenience, and improve lung function, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptom control over established dual/monotherapies. This study has a 2 week run in period where subjects will continue to have their existing COPD medications. At randomization, subjects will discontinue all existing COPD medications and will be assigned to treatment of FF/UMEC/VI, 100 microgram (mcg)/62.5 mcg/25 mcg and placebo or FF/VI, 100 mcg/25 mcg and UMEC, 62.5 mcg in a 1:1 ratio for 24 weeks. Subjects will have clinical visits at Pre-Screening (Visit 0), Screening (Visit 1), Randomization (Week 0, Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 12 (Visit 4) and Week 24 (Visit 5). A follow-up visit will be conducted at 1 week after the end of treatment period or after early withdrawal visit. Approximately, 1020 subjects will be enrolled in this study. There will be two pharmacokinetic (PK) groups (subset A and subset B). Approximately 120 subjects will be assigned to subset A and approximately 60 subjects will be assigned to subset B. The total duration of subject participation will be approximately 27 weeks, consisting of a 2-week run-in period, 24-week treatment period and a 1-week follow-up period.
