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 compare the performances of ultra-low dose computed tomography (CT) and lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for morphological assessment of cystic fibrosis-related lung disease and to compare their performances to conventional low dose CT
Currently there are five trastuzumab biosimilars approved by EMA (Ogivri® Mylan , Herzuma® Biogaran, Ontruzant® MSD, Trazimera® Pfizer, and Kanjinti® Amgen) for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. EMA's approvals were obtained on phase I pharmacokinetic equivalence trials and phase III clinical trials based on efficacy primary endpoints in the neoadjuvant setting and on Overall Response Rate in metastatic setting. Safety was a secondary endpoints in these trials. Phase III pivotal trials compared trastuzumab biosimilars to Herceptin® in combination with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting and in the metastatic setting. The trials were designed before the approval of pertuzumab (in the neoadjuvant and metastatic settings). Thus, there is no available prospective data on the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab biosimilars in combination with pertuzumab. A biosimilar compound can obtain an extrapolation of its indications to those of the reference biological product since bio-similarity has been demonstrated (ie pharmacokinetic equivalence and clinical studies in the most "sensitive" indications). To date, the use of trastuzumab biosimilar in combination with pertuzumab is allowed, but this combination is not supported by neither scientific evidence nor clinical guidelines. PETRA aims at evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of pertuzumab and a trastuzumab biosimilar in real life.
The Motor Function Measure (MFM), a reliable tool assessing motor function and its progression in most neuromuscular diseases, is widely used in France in many teams. It can be used regardless of the severity of the motor impairment or the ambulatory status of the patient, allowing its use throughout the whole follow-up period of the patient, even in case of the loss of walking. Two versions of the MFM exist, one composed of 32 items validated for patients from 6 years old (MFM-32) and a shorter version composed of 20 items validated for patients between 2 and 6 years old (MFM-20). In order to show the possible use of MFM-20 as early as the age of 2 years to validly and reliably monitor the evolution of the motor function of children treated with Nusinersen, we propose in this project to study the sensitivity to treatment-induced change of MFM-20 and the validity of the scale in this population.
This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants who had disease recurrence or progression during/after at least one regimen of prior anticancer therapy (second line or later) that must have contained a platinum-based chemotherapy drug.
An initial retrospective epidemiological investigation was conducted in a city north of France after the diagnosis of the first case of COVID-19 on February 2020. Sero-epidemiological studies were conducted in this town by the Institut Pasteur in early 2020 among families, teachers and non-teaching staff of the high and elementary schools. The goal of this new project is to better characterize the specific immunity generated by the infection within this community. The specific immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be followed for a period of 2 years from the initial circulation of the virus, within a large cohort of participants covering all age groups from 5 years-old onwards. The study will focus on systemic humoral and cell responses, immunity of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and the humoral response present in saliva. Follow-up of participants in this cohort and monitoring of the virus circulation within this community would help to determine the protective character against re-infection of the natural immunity generated by SARS-CoV-2.
The main objective of this part of the project is to identify the germline genetic factors which discriminate the benign and severe forms of SARS-CoV2 (CoVID-19) infection in the context of the ongoing SARS-CoV2 (HCOVID-19) epidemic. The scientific arguments of the project are described in APPENDIX. We hypothesize that pathogenic variants in genes coding for crucial factors involved in the HOST PATHOGEN interaction could explain the susceptibility of some patients to severe disease, even in the absence of comorbidities. The challenge is to identify those of the genetic factors who may be related respiratory distress and potentially further death. Based on our previous experience in sarcoidosis, a multifactorial disease predisposing to opportunistic infections, we will focus particularly the regulation of apoptosis and autophagy, immune response to viral infection, and endoplasmic reticulum stress response (ER STRESS) which is closely linked to apoptosis. Genetic defects in such pathways may decrease the clearance of viral particles and induces the progressive invasion by SARS-CoV2 and destruction of lung parenchyma. Our strategy will be similar to that described in our previous studies on sarcoidosis, recently published. We will combine a comparative genotype analysis by WHOLE EXOME SEQUENCING (WES) of benign and severe forms of SARS-CoV2 infection through clinical subgroups defined by the infectious diseases experts and a bioinformatics analysis of the functional networks identified by the panel of genes sharing pathogenic variants and discriminating the severe forms of the diseases. WES data will be carefully analyzed and related to all the intracellular physiological process and also the functional pathways involved in host-pathogen interaction: viral targets on the cell surface and downstream signaling, viral genomic RNA replication and translation, production and release of new viral particles. Finally, our main objectives are the definition of a gene panel more specifically related to severe forms of infection and the characterization of defective pathways involved in pejorative forms of SARS-COv2 disease in order to identify putative therapeutic targets.
This study evaluate the effects of muscle electrostimulation (MES) on carbohydrate homeostasis in adult patients with obesity. Its aims are also to evaluate the tolerance of feasibilty and the tolerance of MES and the impact on basal metabolism ; muscle mass (maintenance, gain or loss) in a context of calorie restriction ; physical capacities ; adherence to the usual rehabilitation program ; eating behavior : quality of life.
POLYPATCH® study is RWE multicentre study which examine short and long-term outcomes of using POLYPATCH® when exposed to a larger and more varied population. All data will be retrieved from medical charts for each patient from time of surgery (considered as baseline of study) until a maximum of 3 years after surgery. A minimum of 250 up to a maximum of 300 subjects will be evaluated from 3 to 8 different sites. At least 100 subjects will be evaluated in carotid location and at least 100 in femoral location.
Placement of an external ventricular shunt is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures in neuro-resuscitation. However, the modalities of its withdrawal are not, the subject of recommendations but rather of service habits. It has been recently demonstrated that pupillary monitoring by an electronic pupillometer was more reliable than standard clinical monitoring in brain injury patients. This tool provides access to a rich pupillary semiology at the patient's bed. So the goal is to study the evolution of the various pupillary parameters analyzed by the electronic pupillometer during the external ventricular shunt weaning tests and to highlight the predictive factors of failure.
Food allergies are associated with a decrease in quality of life. Patients with FPIES often have more food avoidance than necessary. The greater the number of avoided foods, the greater the risk of eating disorders. To date, no study about quality of life or assessment of eating difficulties has been performed in a French-speaking pediatric population with FPIES or celiac disease
