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 rationale for the proposed pilot study is to investigate the ability of PET-CT with F18-choline to detect and locate the parathyroid adenoma in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and negative or non-contributory MIBI (Tc-99m sestamibi) and cervical ultrasound, in order to avoid unnecessary bilateral cervical exploration.
Condition: Non segmental and active vitiligo of adulthood. Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a daily treatment with atorvastatin 80mg/d combined to UVB compared to UVB alone in active vitiligo after 6 months of treatment. Methods: Prospective interventional bicentric study with evaluation blinded to the treatment received. Inclusion criteria: Patients from 18 to 75 year-old with active non segmental vitiligo. Active is defined by the apparition or the modification of vitiligo lesions with the past 3 months and under Wood's lamp examination hypochromic borders and/or spotty depigmentation. Interventions: After central randomization - Arm A : atorvastatin 40mg/d for 1 months then 80mg/d for 5 months combined with twice weekly narrowband UVB treatment for 6 months. - Arm B: with twice weekly narrowband UVB treatment for 6 months. Evaluation: Main criteria: Decrease of VASI score expressed in percentage Secondary criteria: Decrease of VETF score expressed in percentage. Variation of PGA and DLQI scores. Clinical and biological tolerance. Variation of CXCL10 levels in the serum. Length of the study: Inclusion period: 12 months. Length of treatment: 6 months. Statistical analyses and drafting the article: 6 months. Total length: 24 months.
This is a phase 1/2 study evaluating safety, tolerability, and efficacy of lenvatinib as single-agent, and in combination with chemotherapy (ifosfamide and etoposide) in children and adolescents with refractory or relapsed solid malignancies including differentiated thyroid carcinoma (single agent lenvatinib) and osteosarcoma (single agent and combination lenvatinib).
Elastic compression stockings are recommended in the treatment venous insufficiency. Degressive compressive stockings have been used for many decades and are characterized by a high pressure applied at the ankle and a decreasing pressure from the ankle to the knee. Progressive compressive stockings were developed to have a maximal pressure at the calf. This concept is based on the calf pump role in the venous return. Patients with PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) often suffer from venous insufficiency. But elastic compression stockings are strictly contraindicated for patients with PAD because highest pressures on ankle could slow down the superficial microcirculation. On patients with PAD and venous insufficiency, the progressive compressive stockings could be well indicated. Strongest pressure at the calf should increase the pump effect and the muscle mechanical efficiency during the walk without deleterious effect.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy of a darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (D/C/F/TAF) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet versus Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) FDC coadministered with Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) FDC in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment naive adult participants.
The main objective of this study is to identify changes in eating behaviors and physical activity in patients after bariatric surgery and their family members living in same household: children aged between 11-17 years, spouse, parents, cohabitee or partner in a civil union.
This project aims at investigating the genetic, genomic and proteomic basis of hypertension and susceptibility to hypertension-related end organ damage (renal damage and heart failure). It will include cross sectional as well as follow-up studies with a large number of subjects and variety of phenotypes, to explore the pathophysiology of hypertension and hypertension-related disease.
Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) treatment is routinely prescribed in France. In order to be reimbursed according to the French Social Security rules, the patient treated with an ASV needs to be examined each year. In this observational transversal single-visit study, the investigators aim to describe the clinical characteristics of patients treated with ASV and the associated device settings.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up study to fulfill the post-market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and MEDDEV 2.12-2_Rev2_January 2012. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the TM Ardis implant. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that implant is effective in reducing patient disability.
The aim of this study is to determine if virologically suppressed human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected adults on an antiretroviral regimen (including 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NRTIs] plus a third agent) remain suppressed upon switching to a two-drug regimen with dolutegravir (DTG) + rilpivirine (RPV). The study will primarily assess the non-inferiority antiviral activity of switching to DTG + RPV once daily compared to continuation of current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) up to Week 48 with a switch visit for eligible subjects in the CAR group to initiate DTG + RPV therapy at Week 52. CAR will include 2 NRTIs plus 1 HIV-1 integrase inhibitor (INI), or 1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or 1 protease inhibitor (PI). The study will include a 148-week open-label treatment phase, comprising of an Early Switch Phase (Day 1 to Week 52) and a Late Switch Phase (Week 52 to Week 148). The participants fulfilling the study eligibility criteria will participate in the Early Switch Phase where they will either switch from their CAR to DTG + RPV, or continue taking their CAR, until Week 52. At the end of Early Switch Phase, eligible participants will proceed to the Late Switch Phase where all participants in both DTG + RPV and CAR treatment groups will receive DTG + RPV therapy until Week 148. After Week 148, subjects may be eligible to continue to receive DTG +RPV in the Continuation Phase. The study is planned to be conducted in approximately 476 participants.
