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.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efavaleukin alfa in subjects with active systemic lupus erythematosus.
Mechanical ventilation is a cornerstone in the management of severe forms of pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome. It provides essential oxygen to patients, ventilates the lungs but also has deleterious effects like any treatment, in particular by reducing cardiac output by reducing venous return. Mechanical ventilation also has effects on the diaphragm: diaphragmatic dysfunction. It is explained by a prolonged inactivity of this muscle with a reduction of muscle fibers that can settle down quickly, after only a few days of mechanical ventilation. This dysfunction results in a reduction in the latter's ability to generate intrathoracic pressure necessary for ventilation, slows the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation and lengthens the duration of stay in intensive care unit. To reduce this dysfunction, phrenic stimulation has been proposed as an alternative to remuscler the diaphragm thanks to electrodes located on a central venous catheter, also used to deliver the usual therapies in intensive care unit. The HEMOSTIM study is interested in the effects of phrenic stimulation on regional ventilation, cardiac output and cerebral perfusion: investigator hypothesize that diaphragmatic stimulation allows an improvement of these parameters.
Geriatric presentations to emergency services comprise a significant percentage of all emergency service presentations in Europe and it has been reported that 3-23% of all emergency service presentations from various regions of the countries. There are specific management practices for patients who are 65 years and older at emergency services. On the other hand several risk-scoring systems have been developed to define the severity class of the patient during their initial evaluation at emergency services.Only a few studies in the literature have evaluated risk-scoring systems for the geriatric patient group.Several studies have reported that risk-scoring systems, such as Identification of Seniors at Risk and Triage Risk Screening Tool, which are specifically developed for geriatric patients over 65 years who present to emergency services, are not sufficiently effective for evaluating patients in more severe conditions. Previously the TEDGeS (Turkish Emergency Departments Geriatric Scoring Study) pilot study was carried out and published by some of the investigators of this project.This pilot study enrolled all geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) and carried out in 13 centers from different cities of Turkey. This pilot study showed that geriatric patients not only constitute significant proportion of emergency department presentations but also these patients need more hospitalization. The predictive powers of the Modified Early Warning Score, Rapid Emergency Medicine Score and The Vital PAC Early Warning Score for hospitalization and mortality in geriatric patients those presented to emergency department are significantly high and might be concerned in the emergency department triage of these patients. Within the light of these pilot study results, the investigators have decided to execute this prospective, multinational, multicentric study with the main objective to determine the epidemiological and age related characteristics of geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department across Europe and evaluate early warning scoring systems systems regarding hospitalization, ICU admission and in-hospital mortality for geriatric patients.
The primary objective of this project is to extensively characterize the endotypes of pre-schoolers (0 to 6 years) and school-age children (6 to 12 years) with SA using an integrated approach, combining a description of their phenotype (asthma symptoms, atopy, and lung function) associated with histological (airway inflammation and remodelling), immune (innate and adaptive immunity), metabolomics, and microbiota analyses. This goal shall be achieved by an unsupervised in-depth analysis of patients requiring bronchial endoscopy, with bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) and bronchial biopsy, as part of their clinical assessment.
This is a Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study designed to investigate whether tafasitamab and lenalidomide as an add-on to rituximab provides improved clinical benefit compared with lenalidomide as an add-on to rituximab in patients with R/R FL Grade 1 to 3a or R/R MZL.
BACKGROUND: Chiari I malformation is a rare disease characterized by cerebellar amygdalae descent under the level of the foramen magnum. It causes troubles in cerebrospinal fluid circulation and direct compression on brainstem, producing characteristic headaches, neurological impairment and syringomyelia. Surgery is the only treatment, indicated when symptomatology exists. However, sometimes patients complaint about atypical symptoms that are difficult to interpret. We would like to study one of these atypical symptoms, gait imbalance, in a pediatric population thanks to a computerized dynamic posturography (Equitest®). METHOD: infants from 6 to 18 years of age presenting a radiologically confirmed Chiari I malformation will be included in the study. We will compare posturographic results of patients which will be operated on with the results of the patients which will not; furthermore, we will compare preoperative and postoperative results in operated patients. RESULTS: 19 patients have been enrolled in the study, and data have been collected for 12 of them. Seven patients belong to operated population. CONCLUSIONS: even if enrolment of the patients is satisfactory, disposable data are not enough to perform statistical analysis and to put forward any conclusion.
Cryopreservation of ovarian cortex represents an option for fertility preservation in patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and requiring allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This pilot study aims to evaluate the minimal residual disease on ovarian fragments harvested before allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the time of complete remission.
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV2 virus. The objective of our study is to analyze the progression and the severity of COVID-19 in patients with RA. Indeed, few data are available on this subject, and this would allow us to improve management of COVID-19 in these potential at-risk patients.
While depend elderly people needs are important in Nursing Home, the medical resources are weak from both inside and outside residences located in a medical desert. The goal of this project is to measure the acceptability of Artificial Intelligence and Telemedicine in Nursing Home located in medical desert for patients, nurses, and medical doctor
The overall goal of the study is to further characterize the risks and the safety profile of Baclocur® in real life settings, over a 12-month follow-up period.
