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.
In France, new cancer cases keep on increasing with around 150 000 deaths yearly. Cancer therapy research is constantly evolving. Indeed, several studies explore new treatments or their combination with conventional cancer treatments. But, at the same time, complementary and alternative medicines, as osteopathy, remain little explored upon their role in the combination with conventional therapy. Several studies showed indirect interaction between vagus nerve and cancer. Firstly, vagus nerve regulates homeostasis and immunity by reducing systemic inflammation while maintaining local inflammation and antitumor effects. Secondly, vagus nerve stimulation increases Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Moreover, a higher HRV is associated with an improvement of vital prognosis in cancer patients. Vagus nerve could be stimulated by noninvasive osteopathic manipulations. This prospective, monocentric and randomized study is a collaboration between the Centre Hospitalier d'Avignon and the Institut de Formation en Ostéopathie du Grand Avignon. It focuses on using noninvasive osteopathic mobilizations to stimulate vagus nerve. Indeed, this study aims to evaluate effects of vagus nerve osteopathic stimulations on HRV in patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, Non Hodgkin Lymphoma or Multiple Myeloma. More specifically, this study will tell us whether vagus nerve noninvasive osteopathic stimulations induce increase of HRV associated with a decrease of systemic inflammation and an improvement of patient's quality of life.
This study will assess whether switching participants who have benefitted from mepolizumab or benralizumab to GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) is non-inferior to maintaining current treatment on the annualized rate of clinically significant exacerbations in participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. Throughout the study, all participants will continue their non-biologic Baseline standard of care (SoC) asthma treatment.
PET/CT scans with 18F-FDG can be carried out for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases with hypometabolisms characteristic of the pathologies sought. The diagnosis is given by the clinician after a visual analysis of the data. To complete the diagnosis, a semi-quantitative analysis of the images is recommended (European recommendations) in addition to the visual analysis.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) as an adjunctive therapy in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype.
ROS1 translocated Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare type of lung cancer with few datas. We collected datas concerning patients with ROS1 translocated NSCLC who received Brigatinib in the Compassionate Access after two others Tyrosine kinase Inhibitors
The main aim of this study is to compare the fear of falling induced by each type of virtual scene (rocking and translation). Fear of falling will be assessed by a numerical fear of falling scale. The benefits for the participants would be the discovery of Virtuel Reality, the awareness of their fear of falling and its repercussions on posture and, if necessary, referral to specialized rehabilitation centers. This study will provide evidence on the context of the emergence of the fear of falling in order to propose, in perspective, appropriate rehabilitation management procedures.
Atrial myopathy is considered to be the underlying cause of a large proportion of embolic strokes of undetermined source. However, the definition of this atrial condition is not well delineated while its identification could lead to prescription on anticoagulation in order to avoid stroke recurences. This study aims to identify new markers of atrial myopathy and choosed a multi parametric approach with electrical, echographical, biological and 4D flow CMR derived markers.
This is a prospective, multicentre study, considered as " non-RIPH ("Recherche n'Impliquant pas la Personne Humaine - Research that does not involve humans ". Indeed, the patient's participation in the study and the completion of the various questionnaires has no impact on patient's safety and is not likely to change patients' management. Patients accepting to take part to an early phase trial will be proposed to participate in the PALPHA-1 trial. They can accept or refuse to have palliative supportive care. The main objective of this study is to assess the reasons for accepting and refusing early palliative care in patients included in an early phase clinical trial. The secondary objectives will enable to describe and analyze the number (effective) and the rate (%) of acceptance and/or refusal of early palliative support, to assess patients' understanding and perception of the " combined " management by comparing the semantic content of the patient-investigator ecological interaction during the proposal for inclusion in the trial (i.e. what was explicitly said), with that of the semi-structured post-consultation inclusion interviews ( ie what the patients understood, perceived), to compare the quality of life and the anxiety-depression of patients according to their acceptance or refusal of the mixed care at the inclusion and at the end of the early phase trial, to compare the clinical, medical and socio-demographic characteristics of the patients, the overall survival of patients according to their acceptance or refusal of the combined management and finally for the patients accepting the Palliative Care Management (PCM), to describe throughout the study, the patients' compliance to palliative supportive care undertaken.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept compared with placebo in subjects with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated Myelofibrosis (MF) and anemia on concomitant Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor therapy and who require red blood cell count (RBC) transfusions. The study is divided into Screening Period, a Treatment Phase (consisting of a Blinded Core Treatment Period, a Day 169 Response Assessment, a Blinded Extension Treatment Period, and an Open-label Extension Treatment Period), and a Posttreatment Follow-up Period. Following the Day 169 Response Assessment, subjects who did not show clinical benefit will have the option to unblind. Subjects who were on placebo during the Blinded Core Treatment Period will have the opportunity to crossover into the Open-Label Extension Treatment Period and receive Luspatercept.
the investigators have recently shown that patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who have undergone brain surgery targeting the medial temporal lobe structures were more likely to develop tinnitus postoperatively. This discovery of a vulnerability to tinnitus associated with medial temporal lobe surgery to eliminate drug-refractory epileptic seizures provides a new clinical model of tinnitus, targeting temporal lobe regions as generators or mediators of this hearing disorder. The objective of this project is to study the impact of tinnitus on the cognitive, emotional, psychoacoustic and cerebral functioning associated with this hearing disorder, and to clarify the pathophysiology of tinnitus by comparing different groups of individuals with tinnitus (surgical epileptic patients or non-surgical ORL patients) to matched tinnitus-free groups (surgical tinnitus-free cases and healthy controls volunteer).
