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.
Introduction: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR) is an important cause of heart failure. Cardiac planar radionuclide imaging using 99mTc-labeled bone seeking radiopharmaceuticals is used as a noninvasive diagnostic criterion in patients without detectable monoclonal protein. The visual assessment remains the main noninvasive criterion for the diagnosis. Medical therapy using tafamidis meglumine that binds to transthyretin and prevents amyloidogenesis, recently demonstrated a reduction in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-related hospitalizations. As a consequence, there is a need for quantitative approaches that would be useful for diagnosis and prognosis assessment but also for the evaluation of patient therapeutic response. Materials and methods: The investigators aim to include 35 patients with a suspected diagnosis of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis in whom a cardiac planar radionuclide imaging using 99mTc-labeled bone seeking radiopharmaceuticals is planned as part of routine noninvasive diagnosis work-up. Using a test-retest approach, the aim is to compare a quantitative method vs. conventional semi-quantitative approaches for the assessment of cardiac uptake of bone radiopharmaceuticals using new 3D CZT-based SPECT-CT cameras in patients with suspected cardiac ATTR amyloidosis. The investigators estimated that 20 patients will have a diagnosis of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis. In the latter patients, the aim is to evaluate the impact of 6-month therapy using tafamidis on quantitative and semi-quantitative assessment of cardiac uptake of bone radiopharmaceuticals Perspectives: This new non invasive imaging techniques for the quantitative assessment of the amyloid burden in patients with cardiac ATTR amyloidosis may help identify the responders and the patients who should benefit from dose intensification.
In order to predict fluid responsiveness in the operating room and therefore benefit of performing fluid administration to improve patient's hemodynamic status, it will test two ventilation strategies : the Tidal Volume Challenge (VtC) and the Lung Recruitment Maneuver (LRM). The objective is to determine whether the variation of 2 parameters such as pulse pression variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) during these 2 strategies, allows to predict fluid responsiveness in the operating room for any heavy surgery. All patients will benefit from the 2 ventilation strategies then a fluid administration, called " fluid challenge ", will be performed to discriminate the true responders and others. The order of the ventilation strategies will be determined by randomization.
Disorders of consciousness frequently occur at the acute phase of brain injuries. For the most severe cases, consciousness impairment can be prolonged. To optimize the medical plan and the goal of care, it is fundamental to have precise tools to predict chances of recovery of consciousness and potential disability. Currently, multimodal assessment including behavioral, neurophysiological and neuroimaging technics is recommended. However, the respective predictive values of these markers are poorly understood and decision making is challenging when results are contradictory
The purpose of SCADIAB is to assess the real-life efficiency of systematic screening for ischemic heart disease in T2DM patients at very high cardiovascular risk, without known coronary heart disease, from the databases of the National Health Data System (SNDS).
Automated quantification of the pulmonary volume impaired during acute respiratory failure could be helpful to assess patient severity during COVID-19 infection or perioperative medicine, for example. This study aim at assessing the correlation between the amount of radiologic pulmonary alteration and the clinical severity in two clinical situation : 1. SARS-CoV-2 infections 2. Postoperative hypoxemic acute respiratory failure
The investigators propose a phase II clinical trial with the objective to investigate the potential clinical interest to associate regorafenib with a metronomic chemotherapy combining capecitabine, cyclophosphamide and low-dose aspirin, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main objective of the study will be to achieve 15% of objective response rate in patients treated with multimodal metronomic chemotherapy and regorafenib.
An open-label, controlled, multi-site, interventional, 2-arm, Phase II trial of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing programmed cell death ligand -1 (PD-L1) with combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. This trial has two parts. Part A, an initial non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability at the selected dose range level of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab. Part B, the Randomized part of the trial to generate pivotal efficacy and safety data of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in the first line setting in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing PD-L1 with CPS ≥1. For Part B, an optional pre-screening phase is available for all patients where patients' tumor samples may be submitted for central HPV16 DNA and central PD-L1 expression testing prior to screening into the main trial.
Prostate cancer is the first cancer in men. The treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with chemotherapy is based on the intravenous administration of docetaxel chemotherapy. Symptoms of anticipatory nausea, linked to anxiety caused by the treatment, may occur. Hypnosis is already used to treat the anxiety of people with cancer and can help treat the symtoms of nausea and vomiting of women with breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of medical hypnosis in virtual reality on the anxiety of patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving Docetaxel chemotherapy treatment in comparison with a control group.
The trial investigates the efficacy and safety of brodalumab against guselkumab in treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who still have some remaining symptoms after ustekinumab treatment.
The worse prognosis observed in patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) has not been fully understood. Poor prognosis may be related to other conditions (inflammation, infectious disease, cancers) further to cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study is to conduct the first prospective, observational and multi-centre cohort of patients with DFU in France, in order to evaluate the 5-years mortality rate, its causes and relevant prognostic determinants.
