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.
Corneal topography allows the measure of the radii of curvature and of the thickness of the cornea. It is essential for diagnosis in ophthalmology and allows to highlight corneal irregularities such as a keratoconus, or too thin corneas which are a contra-indication for laser refractive surgery. Several types of corneal topographers are commercially available. Some as the Orbscan(r), operate by analyzing the image of the patterns of a Placido disk associated with a light slit, allowing the collection of thousands of points of the anterior and posterior surface of the cornea. More recent systems such as the Pentacam(r) are based on automatic rotary cameras which capture images of the whole anterior segment of the eye. The aim of this study is to compare two topographs, the Pentacam(r) and the Orbscan(r) and, more specifically, the central corneal pachymetry measurements measured pre- and postoperatively.
The aim of the trial is to identify any systematic effect of cohesiveness on the efficacy of swallowing in patients having dysphagia problems.
Cystatin C, a protease inhibitor produced by most nucleated cells, is freely filtered by the kidneys, and its plasma assay reflects the GFR. Compare, in HIV patients, the predictive performance of 11 formula to estimate GFR based on assay plasma cystatin C with that of the MDRD formulas.
The use of hydroxyurea in sickle cell disease patients with glomerular hyperfiltration and renal failure requires a specific monitoring and dose adjustment in order to remain within the therapeutic interval while limiting the risk of toxicity or therapeutic failure. For this reason the investigators propose to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of hydroxyurea in normal-renal function sickle cell patients to those of patients with glomerular hyperfiltration or moderate renal failure.
This Phase I study is to investigate the safety of two dose levels of NFL-101 in smokers.
There is no specific recommendations on the adjustments of the insulin treatment in the event of physical activity (PA) in T1D patients treated on insulin pump therapy. Patients often prefer additional carbohydrates intake rather than the reduction of their insulin doses because of the lack of specific algorithms. The DIABRASPORT 2 study aims to demonstrate that using algorithms DIABRASPORT, during a week of physical activity (PA), the incidence of hypoglycaemia is not different from that obtained during a week of rest without physical activity. It is a multi-center European, controlled, randomized, cross-over, study, in 100 T1D patients practicing an occasional AP. 25 centers involved in this study. After agreeing to participate in the study, patients will read the information leaflet, ask questions to the investigator physician and they will date and sign the consent form. The investigator physician will do the same. They will be then drawn randomly via the electronic CRF (eCRF) to determine the order in which they will realize the rest vs DIABRASPORT sessions. The study will take place in 5 weeks: During the weeks Baseline and Diabrasport, patients will have to make 3 physical activity of 30 to 60 minutes separated by at least 24 hours: - moderate activity 3 hours after lunch - intense activity 3 hours after lunch - activity moderate 90 min after lunch They will use their usual algorithms (Cho intake or adjustment of the dose of insulin) during the week Baseline and they will use the Diabrasport algorithm during the week Diabrasport. Patients will be equipped with a holter Glycemic iPro2, Medtronic, whose data are hidden. During the week of rest, patients should do no physical activity during the week. They will be equipped with the Glycemic holter. Patients will have to fill a food survey the days they practice PA. Between each period, the patient must respect a period of wash-out for one week at least, during which he will be asked to not practice physical activity. Validation of algorithms simple, easy to implement, adaptable by patients, could help to improve balance metabolic and practice of sport among the T1D.
Prospective observational multicentric study evaluating the efficacy of considering unipolar signal modification during radio frequency catheter ablation of patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in France between November 2013 and January 2015. All procedures were conducted according to the standard clinical care and current guidelines. Pulmonary vein isolation was guided according to force (at least 10 grams) and application vector (perpendicular to the wall) developed until the atrial unipolar electrogram recording became a complete positive signal. Patients were discharged from hospital free of any anti-arrhythmic drugs. Recurrence of arrhythmias at 12 months (primary outcome) was assessed by continuous 48-hour Holter at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-catheter ablation.
RIPAL is a prospective cohort study, which main goal is to define T and B immune repertoire diversity and magnitude in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of high and low grade and chronic lymphocytic leukemia before and after treatment, and to evaluate the association of these parameters with clinical patient data and outcomes.
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract, " from the mouth to the anus ". . Cell therapy is a new and promising approach for the treatment of inflammatory disease including Crohn's disease and fistulas. Adipose tissue seems to be an ideal source for cell therapy. This is a prospective, open, non-comparative, single center, phase I-II clinical trial. It will involve 10 patients and will be conducted over a period of 28 month. This protocol is designed to evaluate, in patients with Crohn's disease and fistula-in-ano refractory to conventional medical and surgical treatment, the safety and efficacy of local microinjection of autologous adipose tissue and SVF from microaspirate . The main objective is to assess tolerance and security. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique
