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 study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (inactive substance that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.
Using a MRI gait motor imagery paradigm in ALS patients in order to study how ALS affects the function of the central neural networks involved in gait function, we showed a reorganization of the motor networks that represents a compensatory response to the dysfunction of the networks involved in gait function. Our main hypothesis is that by providing coherent proprioceptive input to the sensorimotor integration areas, gait training with an exoskeleton may boost compensatory network reorganization and help to maintain function. We hypothesize that this can be achieved through a locomotion training strategy that reproduces normal gait motor patterns and appropriate sensory feedback. Gait training with an exoskeleton can meet these needs. The Atalante exoskeleton offers unique potential thanks to its cutting-edge technological features, hands-free functions and availability in numerous centers across Europe. Evaluation of its safety and efficacy in ALS is of the utmost interest in order to generalize this new approach in ALS.
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common side effects of oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy for patients treated for digestive cancers, disabling and dose-limiting. Several strategies have been studied for the treatment of oxaliplatin-related sensory neuropathy. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies have been explored to relieve peripheral neuropathic pain. Non-pharmacological interventions have been shown to be potentially beneficial for patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation on the reduction of neuropathic pain in patients who developed painful, cumulative peripheral neuropathy that appeared under the effect of the treatment.
The rising prevalence fof fetal macrosomia represents a significant challenge in obstetrics, affecting both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Such challenges include complications like perineal tears and postpartum hemorrhage. Concurrently, the frequency of labor induction practices on the rise, yet the implications for neonatal weight are inadequately understood. To address this gap, our study aims to evaluate the association between labor induction and neontal birth weight through a population-based cohort study. The findings have the potential to inform more accurate clinical guidelines, thereby enhancing the quality of maternity care.
The main objective of this pilot study is to determine if our protocole using EtO2 monitoring during preoxygenation before intubation is feasible in a population of critically ill patients in acute hypoxemic respirator failure (AHRF) in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We hypothesize that using EtO2 monitoring during preoxygenation before intubation is feasible and safe in a population of critically ill patients in AHRF in ICU setting.
The diagnosis of chronic inflammatory rheumatism with axial involvement is not always easy, and is fraught with difficulties : radiological sacroiliitis is not an early sign of spondyloarthritis and the delay in detecting radiological signs contributes to the delay in diagnosis. Nevertheless, spondyloarthritis is now the second most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, affecting 0.43% of the french population. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of whole-body SPECT-CT CzT-based camera (VERITON-CT) in the assessment of chronic inflammatory rheumatism with axial involvement and especially of the sacroiliac joints. MRI of the sacroiliac joints was used as a gold standard.
The objective of this study is to describe the renal impact of Elexacaftor-Teacaftor-Ivacaftor, a triple modulator therapy of CFTR channel, in patients with cystic fibrosis. This new treatment acts on the CFTR channel, which is expressed at the level of the nephrons. The objective is to study the changes in plasma and urinary parameters, including metabolic explorations of urolithiasis, change in volemic parameters, renal function, urinary sediment and nutritional and glycemic parameters, in newly treated patients, through the data collected at introduction of the treatment and during the follow-up.
Phase III multicentric, open-label, randomized study The main objective is to assess the efficacy on time to disease recurrence (TTR) of treating minimal residual disease diagnosed by the presence of ctDNA after full treatment (surgery + chemotherapy) in stage III or high-risk stage II colon or upper rectum adenocarcinoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the gastro-intestinal biopotentials recorded with a homemade device using surface electrodes placed on the abdomen in healthy volunteers, Crohn's disease patients without fibrosis, Crohn's disease patients with fibrosis and in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is there any differences in the gastro-intestinal biopotentials between the different populations under study? It aims to answer two secondary questions: - Are the gastro-intestinal biopotentials comparable to the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, MRI and biological data for patients with Crohn's disease? - Are the gastro-intestinal biopotentials comparable to Rome IV criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders patients? Participants will undertake two recordings made with the device. The first one will last 1 hour and 30 minutes and will occurs while the participants are fasting. Then, the participants will eat a standardized meal. Finally, the second recording will take place after the meal ingestion and will last 1 hour and 30 minutes while the participants are in postprandial state.
A short description, 5000 characters Intro: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a frequent, ubiquitous agent of respiratory viral infections. It is the leading viral cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in infants and also causes significant morbidity and mortality in adults, especially in the elderly, in patients with cardiorespiratory comorbidities [e.g., patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and/or heart failure], and in immunocompromised patients. Clinical phenotyping of RSV respiratory infections has shown that the occurrence of LRTI in RSV-infected patients is associated with the need for ventilatory support and an increased risk of mortality. Virological data also suggest that there is a relationship between high nasopharyngeal viral replication levels and a poor prognosis, although these data have not been confirmed in other studies. Beyond viral load, the impact of viral subtypes on the severity of RSV infection is controversial. Few data have explored the prognostic value of genetic diversity (i.e., role of RSV variants, mutations occurring during clinical course) in RSV-infected adult patients with acute respiratory failure. Objective: The main goal of the present study is to identify and validate biomarkers associated with RSV severity in adults infected with RSV that will be useful to guide treatment decisions in the future. This study will additionally characterize the thus far unknown genetic diversity of RSV in hospitalized adults with severe and mild infections, in order to anticipate virological escape mechanisms from current and future treatments. Method: This is a prospective multicenter cohort study of patients with RSV infection admitted to the hospital. These patients will be followed-up for 28 days. Nasopharyngeal samples will be obtained sequentially (i.e., at day 0, day 3-4, day 5-7, and day 14 of inclusion) for virological and transcriptomic analyses. Blood samples will also be collected at day 0 (EDTA tubes and Paxgene tubes) for peripheral transcriptomic analyses and plasma banking. The 100 first patients included in the study will be allocated to the development cohort and the last 100 patients will be allocated to the validation cohort.
