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.
Cardiac arrest is at present a major cause of mortality as well as a cause of disability for the surviving victims.In Europe, every year counts as 300,000 cardiac arrests responsible for 250,000 deaths. Thus, less than 20 % of patients discharged home with impaired quality of life associated with symptoms of tiredness, stress, anxiety. The prognosis is related to the initial cardiac rhythm present during the initiation of resuscitation. Recent progress in the improvement of mortality and neurological outcome has been achieved over the last decade thanks to the systematic implementation of a period of targeted temperature control between 32 and 34 ° C in patients who benefited from the realization of at least one electrical external shock. There are theoretical and clinical arguments to think that achieving the same way a period of targeted temperature control between 32 and 34 ° C in patients treated for cardiac arrest with a non- shockable rhythm on arrival can also benefit from this procedure. However other arguments are against this hypothesis including an increase in the risk of infection , worsening of the patient's hemodynamic status with no benefit to him. To answer this question, we conduce a randomized multicenter study testing the potential improvement of neurological outcome through this procedure targeted temperature control between 32.5 and 33.5 ° C in these patients. IL Ancillary Study of HYPERION Trial will determine impact on inflammatory biomarkers of two temperature target for targeted temperature management (33°C or 37°C) after cardiac arrest in non-shockable rhythm.
Glaucoma is the first cause of irreversible blindness worldwide with more than 60 millions people affected in 2010. It is defined as a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), visual field deterioration and optic nerve excavation. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most common risk factor. Despite its severity, its impact on quality of life and an existing treatment that can delay visual field damages, there is no recommended strategy to screen the disease. Clinical evaluation of optic nerve head excavation performed either by ophthalmologists or glaucoma specialists is highly inter-observer dependent and limits its accuracy to diagnose glaucoma. Additionally, up to 30 to 40% of nerve fiber layer may be lost before detecting first visual field defects, thus making this tool not accurate enough for screening purposes. Spectral-Domain Optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging technology allows precise and reproducible measurements of optic nerve head structures and retinal layers mainly related to the speed of acquisition and an axial resolution of 5 microns. New SD-OCT parameters have been developed to improve its diagnostic accuracy for glaucoma disease. The investigators therefore investigate performances of SD-OCT to discriminate glaucoma patients and controls. All subjects will undergo SD-OCT imaging (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.3, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) and other study procedures in one single visit. All examinations performed on the subjects are non-significant risk.
Osteopathic care impact on postoperative pain assessed by osteopathic session, evaluated by EVENDOL scale surgery on children with congenital heart disease
A randomized multicentric study for endovascular treatment of patients with obstructive disease in the SFA (superficial femoral artery) and in the popliteal artery.
In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) there is an imbalance between the levels of calcium and sodium in the muscles cells which is thought to be important in the damage which occurs overtime. Sodium/proton type 1 exchanger (NHE-1) inhibition is an innovative pathway that has proved to efficiently prevent the accumulation of muscle damage (inflammation and fibrosis) in animal models of muscular dystrophies and heart failure. Based on prior safety and efficacy results in animal and humans, NHE-1 inhibition with Rimeporide represents a new therapeutic approach with no restriction on age and on genetic subtypes which could be combined to other treatments that restore or augment dystrophin.This study examines the safety and tolerability and effects on the muscles of rimeporide, in patients aged 6 to 14 years with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The study is to treat metformin dose-escalation diabetic subjects of all stages of renal failure (stages 1-5) and compare their rates of erythrocyte metformin (best reflections of a possible accumulation than those of plasma) to the therapeutic range. A number of 12 patients by stage is considered, 60 patients in total.
Evaluating the efficacy of vortioxetine 10 mg/day and 20 mg/day versus placebo on depressive symptoms in adolescents (age ≥12 and ≤17 years) with a DSM-5™ (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition) diagnosis of Major depressive disorder (MDD).
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of a new potential treatment of Major depressive disorder (MDD) in paediatric participants (age 7 to 11 years).
Tanezumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the actions of nerve growth factor (NGF). The Nerve Growth Factor Inhibitor (NGFI) class may offer an important breakthrough in the treatment of chronic pain and is under clinical investigation for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis or other chronic pain conditions. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superior efficacy of tanezumab 5 mg and 2.5 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) every 8 weeks versus placebo at Week 24 in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. The 2.5 mg dose was shown to provide efficacy benefits with a favorable safety profile when administered intravenously in previous Phase 3 clinical trials. The 5 mg dose is expected to provide added efficacy benefit over the 2.5 mg dose based on data from previous studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with VX-371 in hypertonic saline compared to hypertonic saline alone in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are ≥12 years of age, homozygous for the F508del-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation, and being treated with Orkambi
