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 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferasirox film coated tablet (FCT) versus phlebotomy for the management of iron overload in adults with Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) at risk of iron-related morbidity. This evaluation provided information on the two treatment options in terms of the rate of response of proportion of patients reaching the study target SF ≤ 100 μg/L and their associated safety profiles. In addition to exploring the safety and efficacy of deferasirox FCT in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), this study is being conducted to fulfill an FDA post-marketing requirement [PMC 750-10 (Exjade) /PMR 2888-8 (Jadenu)] to provide additional randomized data to confirm the ocular safety profile of deferasirox through detailed ocular assessments in patients treated with deferasirox FCT for 2 years.
In patients with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), bacterial fragments leak from the gut into the blood and cause harm. This study looks into a new way to lower the leakage of bacterial fragments into the blood. Yaq-001 is a new type of carbon that in previous laboratory studies has been shown to have the ability to bind these bacterial fragments and so confine them to the gut. The purpose of this clinical trial is to test the product Yaq-001 for the first time in patients with cirrhosis. This trial will assess if the treatment with Yaq-001 is safe, is well tolerated, and if it helps improve the overall health status of the cirrhotic patients. Candidate patients must be at least 18 years old and have a clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis for any cause. Only postmenopausal women or with surgical sterilisation are eligible. Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria of medical nature will be determined with the investigator at the screening visit, by means of standard care routines plus an additional test to assess the bowel transit time. Eligible patients will be randomly grouped to receive standard care treatment plus Yaq-001, or standard treatment plus placebo (non-active treatment). The use of placebo is necessary to better understand how safe and tolerable Yaq-001 really is. The treatment lasts for 12 weeks. During treatment, the patient will be visited by a study doctor 5 times. At all the visits the patients will undergo a routine physical examination, electrocardiogram, collection of blood and urine samples. On three occasions the patients will be asked to provide additional samples of blood, urine and stool for analysis outside the hospital. 56 patients from 9 hospitals in UK, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland will participate in this study.
The investigators anticipate a reduced risk of post-operational de novo stress urinary incontinence following surgery for vaginal sacrospinofixation, associated with reduced costs, comparable functional and anatomical efficacy and no increase in morbidity and rate of dyspareunia with the new treatment
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the /College of American Pathologists (CAP) recommend that HER2 status (negative or positive) must be determined in all patients with invasive breast cancer. The knowledge of HER2 status will help the oncologist in prescribing or not a HER2-targeted therapy to patients. Presently, two main methods are used to assess HER2 status: immunohistochemistry (IHC, protein expression) and in situ hybridization (ISH, gene expression) in order to classify tumor sample as positive, negative or equivocal. When a tumor is classified HER 2+ by IHC method, a second test is performed using ISH methods (FISH, SISH, CISH). In case of HER2 equivocal result with ISH method (4 ≤HER2 gene number copy <6), the patient is eligible to an anti-HER2 therapy after discussed during MD-MM. This decision should be individualized on the basis of patient status (comorbidities and prognosis) and patient preferences after discussing available clinical evidence. Based on molecular classification, RNA expression could help to discriminate breast cancer subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, HER2-overexpressed and triple negative). Prosigna is a genomic test, developed by NanoString® based on the PAM50 gene signature, which measures the expression of 50 genes to classify tumors into 1 of 4 intrinsic subtypes and could allow determining the HER2 status. This study was designed in order to define if such a test could help the oncologist to define the better therapeutic decision in a HER2 equivocal population. In addition, concordance tests will be performed. The aim of this study is to assess the modification decision rate between the first and the second multidisciplinary decision-making meeting in HER2 equivocal patients using genomic testing.

Part 1B (SAR439459 and cemiplimab combination therapy) - To determine the MTD and/or MAD of SAR439459 administered intravenously in combination with cemiplimab administered intravenously in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. Dose expansion (Part 2) Part 2A (SAR439459 monotherapy) - To determine optimal dose of SAR439459 administered intravenously in adult patients with advanced melanoma who have failed a prior therapy based on anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death-1) or anti-PD-L1.

Secondary Objectives: - Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile SAR439459 monotherapy and combined with cemiplimab, PK profile of cemiplimab combined with SAR439459. - Immunogenicity of SAR439459 monotherapy and combined with cemiplimab.

Some subsets of lymphocytes are able to inhibit immune response and thus, could be used to control auto-immune diseases and transplant reject. In mice, the main source of those anti-inflammatory lymphocytes is the peritoneal cavity. No data are available in human. This study aims at exploring the presence of those anti-inflammatory lymphocytes in human peritoneal cavity and at determine how to expand those cells.
This is a prospective study comparing 4 groups: (1) non-smoking controls, (2) smokers without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), (3) smokers with COPD, (4) severe asthma. Bronchial biopsy specimens from each subject will be obtained to produce air-liquid-interface cell cultures. These will then be used to make observations concerning cilia and mucus rheology. This is a first pilot study. The working hypothesis is that the largest group differences will be found for cilia densities; the latter metric was thus chosen as a primary criterion.
The primary objective of the present study is to determine the clinical, biological and genetic determinants of the anticoagulant activity in patients treated with either anti-IIa or anti Xa oral anticoagulants. The secondary objective is to determine the clinical, biological or genetic determinants of hemorrhagic or thrombotic complications during a one year follow-up. Results will lead to a better prediction of both drug response and risk of complications.
Cancer cachexia is responsible for the death of approximately 20% of patients. Myostatin is a master negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. If the role of myostatin in cancer cachexia is now well established in murine models, no study has focused on muscle expression of Myostatin in relation to the degree of cachexia. the hypothesize is that muscle Myostatin a biological marker of cachexia in patients with cancer of digestive system. The main objective is to compare skeletal muscle Myostatin messenger RiboNucleic Acid (mRNA) level as a function of cachexia in cancer of digestive system patients. Myostatin messenger RiboNucleic Acid (mRNA) level will be determined in a muscle sample taken during the resection under general anaesthesia. Skeletal muscle index will be determined before surgery, 3 and 6 months after surgery. Muscle strength of the lower and upper limbs will be determined before resection, at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. Blood sampling will also be performed on these 4 occasions.
The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two intensified consolidation strategies in very-high risk neuroblastoma (VHR-NBL) patients in terms of event-free survival from randomisation date. This evaluation will follow a hierarchical testing procedure: each experimental treatment will be first evaluated as a single-arm phase 2 study, and in case of positive conclusion, the relative efficacy of both arms will then be evaluated comparatively.
