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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a polypill strategy containing aspirin (100 mg), ramipril (2.5, 5 or 10 mgs), and atorvastatin (40 mgs) compared with the standard of care (usual care according to the local clinical practices at each participating country) in secondary prevention of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, and urgent revascularization) in elderly patients with a recent myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of revusiran (ALN-TTRSC) in adults with transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), whose disease has continued to worsen after liver transplantation. Dosing has been discontinued; patients are being followed-up for safety.
Evaluate psoriasis severity and its psychosocial impact using a novel Patient Reported Outcome (the Simplified Psoriasis Index SPI) at 16 weeks, as well as long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of secukinumab administered subcutaneously during 52 weeks (plus extension) in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
Hemospray™ is a new endoscopic hemostatic powder. Aims of this multicenter prospective study is to determine effectiveness of Hemospray™ on short and medium term in different clinical situations, predictive factors of rebleeding after Hemospray™ application, and feasibility of the application of hemostatic powder in routine clinical practice studying in a large sample of patients.
A standardized tetanic stimulation is applied to patients under propofol-remifentanil TCI, in a cross-over fashion, at two different levels of anesthesia monitored by the BIS: BIS 25 and BIS 55. Remifentanil target remains constant during the whole study period (1 ng/ml). Pupillary reflex dilation is recorded after each stimulation.
HE4 is a more sensitive marker than CA-125 in patients with ovarian cancers. The interest of serum HE4 before surgery has been demonstrated to predict overall survival and its interest has also been shown in combination with CA-125 (ROMA algorithm) to identify high risk patients. To date, no study shows clearly the predictive potential of serum HE4 as an early relapse biomarker in ovarian cancers.
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are contraceptive methods of long-acting (from 3 to 10 years depending on the model) and among the most effective. However, there are many obstacles to the use of IUDs including pain felt by patients during installation. Several medical means were studied without evidence of their efficacy in pain related to IUD insertion. In order to remove this brake, it's important to find another way to act against this pain. The direct technique is one of the techniques described by health professionals. It seems trusted by its users as a more reliable technique but also less painful for patients. However, there is no study available on its evaluation. The aim of this study is to investigate the interest of the direct technique in reducing the pain experienced by patients during installation.
Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is a major risk factor of infection with this bacterium. Staphylococcus aureus colonization of the posterior nasal cavity is still misunderstood. This study is aimed at evaluating the relationship between Staphylococcus aureus strains colonizing the vestibulum nasi, the sphenoethmoidal recess and the nasopharynx.
The use of nasogastric (NG) decompression after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a current practice. NG tube is associated with a high rate of morbidity including pulmonary morbidity, delayed gastric emptying and finally an increased length of hospital stay. The absence of NG decompression could be the corner stone of the concept of the enhanced recovery program after PD.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) had systemic repercussion and lead to peripheral muscular dysfunction. Muscular atrophy limits aerobic capacity and is a major limitation of daily activity and quality of life. Technologies likes' neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) are currently being adapted and tested to support exercise training. The investigators hypothesized that functional electrical stimulation cycling improves VO2 and aerobic capacities during exercise compared to endurance training.
