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 determine if abatacept is effective in the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis.
Crohn disease (CD) usually evolves by surges interspersed by periods of unpredictable remission. the probability of recurrence of CD in a patient in remission is even stronger if it pre-exists endoscopic lesions of the intestinal mucosa. The mucosal healing exploration needs the realization of an ileo-colonoscopy under general anesthesia which is an invasive procedure, restrictive and expensive, thus prohibiting its too frequent repetition. we do not currently have noninvasive and reliable markers able to predict the occurrence of thrust of CD and allow the introduction of a more suitable treatment. Indeed, relapse prevention is the best way to avoid complications and formation of lesions that lead to the irreversible medical treatment failure and surgery. Since during the CD, it is the immunological changes that lead to inflammation and lesions, we make the assumption that the ability of certain markers immunological to predict a relapse of CD is higher than that of other in particular inflammatory markers. This work should help to identify the profile of patients with CD in remission but at high risk of recurrence. It will specify i) the potential new markers immunological, from the pre-clinical research, predict the onset of a recurrence of CD ; ii) the predictive interest of different inflammatory markers used in routine or during the CD evaluation ; iii) Finally, the stress and the management of stressful events in the occurrence of a relapse. This work also will specify the evolution of different markers at the moment of thrust
The purpose of study was to test whether rivaroxaban added to standard of care treatment, when compared to placebo, had the potential to reduce the incidence of the clinical events related to the clots and complications of the heart and brain (CV death, MI, or stroke) or the legs (acute limb ischemia or major amputation) in patients who had undergone recent procedure(s) to improve the blood flow of their legs.
Lymphoma is a malignant blood disease sensitive to chemotherapy. In case of relapse after first-line treatment, high-dose chemotherapy conditioning followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) improves patient survival and reduces the risk of relapse. Auto-HSCT may also be indicated in the first line in case of aggressive lymphoma at high risk of relapse. BEAM (Carmustine, Etoposide, Aracytine and Melphalan) is the more frequently used high-dose conditioning regimen. Nevertheless, Carmustine is no longer available in Europe. The investigators have therefore chosen to replace Carmustine by Thiotepa and use the TEAM regimen as the new conditioning. Indeed, Thiotepa is approved by french national agency for the security of drugs (ANSM) for use as part of auto-HSCT conditioning regimen. The results of TEAM regimen in terms of efficacy and toxicity appear similar to those of BEAM. However, no study have been performed prospectively. Only small series and case reports have been reported. If the study confirms the results of retrospective studies, conditioning by TEAM could become a new standard in auto-HSCT for the treatment of lymphoma. This study is non-interventional, prospective with 3 centers. All included patients will receive, according to standard practice and drug label in France, the following diagram: 1. Conditioning: - Thiotepa 8 mg / kg to J-6 - Etoposide 100 mg / m² / 12 h for 4 days (J-5 to D-2) - Aracytine 200 mg / m² / 12 h for 4 days (J-5 to D-2) - Melphalan 140 mg / m² on day-1 2. Transfusion graft: the day D0 with autologous peripheral stem cell transplant 3. Care supports: Patients will be treated according to the usual procedures of centers participating in the study at the discretion of the investigator. 4. Follow-up of patients will not be changed by the study. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of lymphoma patients treated with autologous stem cells after conditioning by TEAM Secondary objectives are: - To evaluate overall survival; - To assess the response to treatment; - to evaluate the incidence of relapse; - to assess the toxic transplant related mortality; - to study transplant-related morbidity (infections, nutritional and gastrointestinal toxicity, immune reconstitution).
Systemic sclerosis (SSc), or scleroderma is a connective tissue disease of autoimmune origin. It is a life-threatening orphan disease with severe physical and psychosocial consequences. IVA337 has a novel mechanism of action and this study is designed to compare IVA337 at two dose levels with a placebo control treatment. Patients will be unaware of the treatment they are receiving and will be randomized to one of three treatment arms , either IVA337 400mg bid, IVA337 600mg bid or placebo bid. They will receive drug for 48 weeks and during that time assessments will be made to monitor both the efficacy and safety of the treatment.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the type of fluid (0.9% saline or 6% Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4) in the context of an individualized goal-directed fluid therapy is associated with a difference in morbidity and mortality within the first 14 days in patients at moderate-to-high risk of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery.
Prognostic factors in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are currently mainly based on clinical factors (disease extension, perianal involvement, need for surgery, use of immunomodulators…). All of immunological markers (or serological) of IBD have a diagnostic role in indeterminate colitis (ulcerative colitis vs crohn's disease) but they never have been considered as predictors of IBD course in adults. Among the most used, anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) and Anti-Saccaromyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) allow the distinction between ulcerative colitis (ANCA+/ASCA-) and Crohn's disease (ANCA-/ASCA+), and their combined use has a sensitivity and a specificity of about 85%. However, 10 other antibodies have been identified and recently evaluated individually in IBD and especially in pediatric Crohn's disease: anti-ompC, anti-I2, anti-flagellins, anti-glycan (anti-laminaribioside carbohydrate antibodies (ALCA), anti-mannobioside carbohydrate antibodies (AMCA), anti-chitobioside carbohydrate antibody (ACCA), anti-chitin and anti-laminarin), anti-goblet cells and anti-C.albicans specific mannans antibodies. These complementary tests improve the reliability of the diagnosis. In a previous cross-sectional work on a cohort of 195 IBD patients, the investigator showed a prognostic role of some of anti-glycan Abs and especially a correlation with a pejorative form of the disease both in Crohn's disease than in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and a prediction of corticodependency in IBD.
Epidemiological study aiming to describe the carriage (nasal, throat, groin, rectal and colonic) of S. aureus in patients without chronic digestive disease who are going to have a colonoscopy for cancer screening. The carriage will be analyzed globally and the similarity of strains isolated from each site will be analyzed using molecular tools. The aim of this study is to better estimate the digestive reservoir of S. aureus to better prevent endogenous infections due to this bacterium.
Define responses to exercise on both arterial bruits and oxymetry in patients referred for suspected endofibrosis.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the ability of reslizumab administered by subcutaneous injection to produce a corticosteroid-sparing effect in patients with oral corticosteroid (OCS)-dependent asthma and elevated blood eosinophils, without loss of asthma control.
