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.
First Episode Psychosis (FEP) includes perceptual distortions, delusions and cognitive impairment with severe consequences, such as suicidal behaviour. It affects 3% of the population, mainly adolescents and young adults, the majority of with progress to a psychotic disorder. The early stages of psychotic disorders, from the first full blown symptoms to the next two to five years, represent an opportunity to targeted care and prevention. Indeed, it is a critical period with a worsened clinical prognostic when intervention is delayed, increasing the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP). Also, it is a key period to reduce mortality, as it is characterized by elevated risks of suicide and low physical health outcomes. Besides the symptomatic components, this period is also critical for self-building on educational, professional and emotional levels. Early intervention programmes involve multi-disciplinary teams, including a care coordination function, embodied by a "case manager". His missions include assessing the patient's needs, developing a care plan to meet the latter, organising access to the different components of the care plan, monitoring and evaluating care, and providing clinical follow-up. Engagement in the care process is fragile in psychotic disorders, particularly in the context of first episode psychosis with a high risk of care disengagement, often associated with a relapse. It is therefore essential that case-managers involved in FEP services have access to tools designed according to the patient needs and not solely to symptoms, in a "recovery oriented" approach, to foster the feeling of commitment of patients in their care process. The use of mobile applications for smartphones represents an interesting perspective to improve the engagement of patients with FEP in care. However, the use of an application focused on recovery is feasible and acceptable in patients with first episode psychosis enrolled in a specialised outpatient department (FEP-type service) and allows improvement on clinical criteria, such as psychotic symptoms or mood. User-centred design methods including identification of users and an inventory of their needs, prototyping with rapid iterations, is a simplification of the procedure and exploitation of existing constraints to increase the rate of use. Moreover, it has recently been shown that such a methodology is feasible in populations with a first episode of psychosis. Our hypothesis is that the use of a mobile case-management application for planning and monitoring individualised care objectives, co-designed with patients, their careers, and health professionals, improves the functioning of patients managed for a first psychotic episode, compared to usual case management practices. The originality of our project is built up on two pillars : - the use of a a mobile monitoring application, which will be used jointly by patients and case-managers, - the methodological innovation also lies in the collaborative and patient-centred design of the application The originality of our project concerns on the one hand the intervention, an application mobile follow-up, which will be used jointly by patients and case managers. The innovative character also lies at the methodological level in the collaborative and patient-centered design of the application ('user-centered design' approach).
Study WR42221 is a Phase IIIb, global, multicenter, randomized, visual assessor-masked study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) 100 mg/mL delivered every 36 weeks (Q36W) compared with every 24 weeks (Q24W) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
The vaccination policy is drawn up in France by the French Minister of Health, who makes public the vaccination schedule after the opinion of the High Authority of Health. Currently according to the 2019 immunization schedule, the dTP vaccine is the only mandatory in the general population with recalls in adults aged 25, 45, 65 and every 10 years. In 2011, the Ministry of Health estimated that only 50.5% of the general population was up to date against dTP. Two vaccines are recommended for person at risk of infection according to the current vaccine schedule: the flu vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine. In fact, influenza and pneumococcal disease are more frequent and more serious in patients with chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiac insufficiency..) compared to the general population. The vaccination coverage rate of at-risk populations is dramatically below the vaccination coverage targets set by the Ministry of Health. Indeed, there are many barriers to vaccination, medical and para-medical barriers, but also individual barriers. The current COVID-19 pandemic has identified people at risk of severe infection and death risk, particularly those with co-morbidities (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.). Thus, this pandemic may have contributed to change in patients' perceptions regarding both the risk of infection and the potential interest and benefit of vaccination.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine: the recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of JNJ-64264681 and JNJ 67856633 when administered together in participants with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Part A - Dose Escalation); and the safety of the RP2Ds for this combination in different histologies/participant populations (Part B - Cohort Expansion).
The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with 'standard' management by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) alone in a randomized study.
This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called ART0380 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The main goals of this study are to: - Find the recommended dose of ART0380 that can be given safely to participants alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan - Learn more about the side effects of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan - Learn more about the effectiveness of ART0380 alone and in combination with gemcitabine or irinotecan
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of DS-1062a versus docetaxel in participants with previously treated advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with or without actionable genomic alterations.
Novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak seriously challenges worldwide health care systems. The current climate of anxiety due to COVID-19 and home confinement limiting access to emergency departments (ED) have induced an increase of phone calls to the emergency call center "15" medical advices. To determine if a pediatric telephone triage protocol may improve patient's pathways during COVID-19 outbreak, parental compliance is assessed after telephone advice, during and after home confinement (the end of home confinement in France was on May 11th 2020). From 14th April 2020 to 7th June 2020, all calls received by the platform of telephone calls at Children's Lenval Hospital during open hours and open days are collected. For each call, symptoms are recorded by trained physicians and trained residents using a telephonic triage tool through a directed interview. A medical orientation is recommended to parents at the end of their call. Follow-up are conducted 2 to 4 days after with their consent by telephone interview in order to evaluate their compliance
The cognitive disorders of adult forms of myotonic dystrophies type 1 are heterogeneous (impairment of executive functions, visio construction and theory of the mind, which can progress to the stage of dementia). Nevertheless, patients have very different degrees of cognitive impairment. Expansion of CTG triplets disrupts the alternative splicing of mRNAs of various proteins, including the insulin receptor and Tau protein. Type 2 diabetes, associated with peripheral insulin resistance, is therefore common in this pathology. Type 2 diabetes,could to explain the cognitive impairment of patients, through the accelerated development of brain lesions (especially tauopathy and cerebral atrophy).
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most frequent vasculitis in younger children <5years, and the first cause of acquired ischemic myocardiopathy in childhood. Exceptionally, KD may cause early death during the acute phase by myocardial infarction, but may compromise the long-term cardiovascular outcome by accelerating atherosclerotic disease. The incidence of KD is high in far-Eastern countries and Hawaii but KD is relatively rare in other regions (10/100000 children <5years in northern Europe) which makes it difficult to develop research on these rare population. Early recognition and treatment by intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) influences the prognosis positively. IVIG are the standard of care and decrease significantly the risk of coronary aneurysms. However, despite a first infusion of IVIG, 20% of KD patients remain febrile and have high risk of coronary vasculitis. Recent Japanese research group assessed additional cyclosporine treatment in first line KD treatment but failed preventing relapse. To date there is no agreement for a more effective second line treatment. Based on the auto-inflammatory pattern of KD, the investigators hypothesize that anti IL-1 blocking agents could bring a rapid and sustained effect on systemic and coronary inflammation in patients with KD. Our hypotheses are: 1. Anakinra treatment may reduce the early and long-term mortality of patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD), by a rapid and sustained effect on vascular inflammation. 2. The safety of anakinra is good, as the drug has a very short half-life, which allows its rapid withdrawal in case of serious adverse event. The use of anakinra is not associated with the risk of contamination by infectious agents, which remain even minimal, a possibility with the use of IVIG.
