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.
PERSEE is a French national phase 3 academic study comparing the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC molecularly defined by a PDL1 expression ≥ 50% of tumour cells and no EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement. The main hypothesis is the superiority of the chemo-immunotherapy combination over mono-immunotherapy in terms of progression-free survival evaluated by an independent review committee. One of the anticipated benefits of using the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination starting from the first line setting for NSCLC patients with PD L1 ≥ 50% is a reduced risk of early progression, which is known to occur with pembrolizumab monotherapy, and therefore, a better PFS.
This is a phase 1 dose escalation study testing the addition of an anti-IL6 (tocilizumab) to standard induction chemotherapy for high-risk AML.
Viral pandemics, such as HIV and SARS-Cov-V1, have shown that they can lead to acute and / or delayed neurological complications. At the actual context of the pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), neurological manifestations seem to be confirmed since in 85% of COVID-19 patients, present neurological symptoms, including anosmia, ageusia, periorbital pain, dizziness, fatigue, even moderate headache, moderate memory and/or behavioral disorders. However, these neurological manifestations are not well studied and their radiological features are not well described. It is therefore important to assess these potential neurological complications in COVID-19 patients. To the investigator knowledge, there is no previous study in the literature describing spectral brain changes in COVID + patients. Thus, the goal of this work is to describe the radiological semiology using MRI and particularly Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic (MRS) biomarkers in the evaluation of acute and / or delayed brain damage in COVID + patients presenting a neurological manifestations that are initially related to the cranial nerves damage.
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with inflammatory response harmful for the Central Nervous System. Immunological imbalance is involved with Th1 and Th17 cells in correlation with a disturbance of regulators mechanisms as Treg cells. Despite years of research, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Serotonin (5-HT) seems to be a therapeutic target to treat multiple sclerosis. Indeed, several studies have shown the anti-inflammatory potential of this neurotransmitter and also its vulnerability in inflammatory context. Moreover, a recent study has shown that 5-HT can reduced CD4 T cells proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokines released in vitro. 5-HT protector effects have also demonstrated in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis mouse model (EAE) with an inflammatory response reduction and also a decreased of spinal cord lesions. The latest receptor discovered, the 5-HT7 receptor, has been identify as a promise target to treat neurological disorders associated with inflammatory context. Present in humans and mice, this receptor spreads on the surface of a large number of cells, such as T-lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and also neurons, astrocytes and microglia. Given the importance of the positive cells for 5-HT7 receptor, in the inflammatory context observed in multiple sclerosis, The investigator propose to study the receptor expression in blood samples from multiple sclerosis patient.
Regional analgesia, based on its physiological effects and efficacy, is used for optimal perioperative pain relief. However, for acute pain in multiple trauma patients in a critical condition, it has not been prospectively studied. The use of regional anaesthesia in this group of patients extend to the management of trauma patients and of other painful procedures performed at the patient's bed. The use of RA in such patients must be analyzed in the light of associated conditions that can increase the risk of systemic toxicity and complications: coagulopathies, infection, immunosuppressive states, sedation and problems associated with mechanical ventilation. The investigators aim to assess the role of continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) in multiple trauma patients, in order to show the benefits in terms of opiates consumption decrease, sedation limitation, improvement in ventilator free days and patients outcome
The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of the RenzanTM Peripheral Stent System when used for treatment of superficial femoral (SFA) and/or popliteal (POP) artery disease. This trial plans to include 135 patients in (up to) 10 locations around in Europe.
In the management of non-small cell lung cancer of the adenocarcinoma type, different therapeutic strategies can be proposed. These strategies are defined according to the results of a biological analysis of blood and/or tissue samples from the lung tumor. Mutations in the tumor DNA are sought. Thus, patients with sensitizing mutations can benefit from a treatment with a 3rd generation tyroine kinase inhibitor (TKI) whose efficacy has been widely demonstrated. Patients without tumor mutations will not benefit. However, resistance to TKIs appears after a certain time, often linked to the appearance of new mutations in the tumor. For this reason, blood biologic analyses are regularly performed to search for the emergence of resistance mutations and to propose a therapeutic alternative as soon as possible. These analyses are performed routinely in the laboratory. In the course of these analyses, the investigators have identified conventional mutations but also new mutations not previously described in the literature. Our objective is to list all the molecular abnormalities revealed during blood biological analyses, to determine their frequency and to study whether certain abnormalities can be linked to resistance to TKI.
The purpose of this randomized double-blind study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of the bilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block versus the bilateral Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB), by ultrasound-guided single injection in patients who underwent sternotomy for cardiac surgery.
This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant combined with palbociclib compared with letrozole combined with palbociclib in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced (recurrent or progressed) or metastatic breast cancer.
(Chemo)-radiotherapy is the gold standard therapeutic treatment for patients with locally advanced lung cancer non accessible or ineligible for surgery. While some progress occurred regarding progression free survival and overall survival thanks to recent advances (i.e., durvalumab), prediction of pulmonary and esophageal toxicity, remains insufficiently accurate. Current dose-volume histograms (DVH) do not account for spatial dose distribution and strict application of current dose constraints does not prevent toxicity events in some of the treated patients. The goal of this work was to investigate the added predictive value of the radiomics approach applied to dose maps regarding acute and late toxicity in both lungs and the esophagus.
