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 the prevalence of eating disorders in type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes patients
Anemia is common in oncology. Up to three-quarters of cancer patients are exposed to an episode of anemia. In oncology surgery, perioperative bleeding is a major risk factor for anemia. Indeed, 13 to 40% of patients are transfused in perioperative oncologic surgery. There is an association between anemia and prognosis. Several epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between anemia and altered quality of life. In oncology cohort studies, anemic patients had a significantly lower quality of life compared to patients without anemia. In non-cardiac surgery, preoperative anaemia was significantly associated with post-operative mortality. There is also an association between preoperative anaemia and the occurrence of post-operative complications. In oncology surgery, cohort studies conducted in colorectal surgery and neurosurgery found an association between the occurrence of perioperative anemia and post-operative morbidity and mortality. The optimal transfusion strategy is unknown in oncology patients. Several multicentre randomised trials, conducted in resuscitation patients or in perioperative settings, have compared a "restrictive" to a "liberal" transfusion strategy. These studies did not show a superiority of one strategy over another on patient outcomes but a lower exposure to red blood cell concentrates in patients transfused with the restrictive transfusion strategy. Thus, the French High Authority for Health (HAS) has adopted a haemoglobin level of 7 g/dl as the transfusion threshold for any transfusion of red blood cell concentrate carried out in the operating theatre and in intensive care in the absence of special cases such as the presence of acute coronary syndrome. For oncology patients, no recommendation could be made due to the lack of evidence-based literature and the optimal transfusion strategy for these patients remains unknown. Only 2 monocentric trials performed in oncology (critical care and perioperative) suggest a benefit of a liberal strategy (transfusion for a haemoglobin level < 9 g/dl) on the short-term vital prognosis, but these studies suffer from numerous limitations leaving the question unresolved. Before conducting a large phase III trial, a pilot study is needed to validate the methodology of this multicentre clinical trial and to assess its feasibility.
Due to the increasing importance of BKV infection on the survival of kidney transplants, a better knowledge, in the pretransplant phase, of the risk factors leading to viral reactivation could allow the follow-up physician to be more vigilant and better prevent this pathology. There are no commercial tests for BKV serology. In the virology laboratory, the investigators have developed the technique for producing "Virus-like particles" (VLP) that mimics the antigenic structure of the BK virus. The investigators plan to evaluate seroreactivity to the five BK virus serotypes in the recipient of a kidney transplant as a pretransplant and to compare this data with the detection or not of viral reactivation in the recipient during the first post-transplant year.
The objective of this multicenter observational study is to describe respiratory sequelae of COVID-19 patients hospitalized for severe pneumonia requiring oxygen supply.
Respiratory infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus is associated with a major risk of viral pneumonia that can lead to respiratory distress requiring resuscitation. In the most severe forms, it may require a mechanical ventilation or even lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome with a particularly poor prognosis. The SARS-CoV2 is a single-stranded RNA virus of positive polarity and belongs to the beta genus of Coronaviruses. SARS-CoV2 is responsible for the third epidemic in less than twenty years secondary to a Coronavirus (SARS-CoV then MERS-CoV) and if the mortality associated with it is lower than that of previous strains, particularly MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), its spread is considerably bigger. As a result, the number of patients developing respiratory distress that require an invasive mechanical ventilation is high, with prolonged ventilation duration in these situations.
Prospective, single center study, on healthy subjects to evaluate the aesthetic improvement of facial volume, effect on the restoration and/or augmentation in subjects with mid-face age-related volume deficit after injection of a filler with lidocaine.
AL (or light chain) amyloidosis begins in the bone marrow where abnormal proteins misfold and create free light chains that cannot be broken down. These free light chains bind together to form amyloid fibrils that build up in the extracellular space of organs, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether CAEL-101, a monoclonal antibody that removes AL amyloid deposits from tissues and organs, improves overall survival and it is safe and well tolerated in patients with stage IIIb AL amyloidosis.
The present project aims at identifying robust candidates for drug resistance in BC patients eligible for NAC. Its originality lies upon the combination of three different and complementary prospective approaches: from the molecular analyses of biopsies sampled before and after NAC, from in vitro BC Patient-Derived Organoids (PDO) mimicking patient's response to NAC, and from Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) isolated before/during/after NAC.
Stroke is either an obstruction (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain (ruptured aneurysm). It can happen at any age in adults. Because of the risk of irreversible brain damage, it is an absolute medical emergency. An ischemic stroke (stroke) is the result of a lack of oxygen supply to a part of the brain. It can be one of many causes of stroke as a result of a thrombosis (occlusion) of the internal carotid artery or a cerebral embolism (migration of a clot or debris of fatty deposits) from a carotid stenosis. In both cases part of the brain is less irrigated. There will then be a neurological deficit (paralysis) more or less important corresponding to the affected cerebral territory. The deficit may concern the whole hemicorps (hemiplegia) or a part of the body (upper or lower limb) and sometimes is associated with facial paralysis and/or language disorders. A brain aneurysm occurs when the wall of an intracranial artery expands abnormally, creating a pocket of blood. It is often caused by weakness in the vascular tissue, but it can also occur later in life due to illness, head injury, oral contraceptives or certain lifestyle habits (smoking, excessive alcohol consumption). Sudden increases in pressure due to stress or strenuous exercise can serve as a trigger. Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) is a medical specialty that manages stroke patients using imaging to perform the medical procedure and thereby limit openings and their associated risks. This specialty has a growing place in modern medicine. In order to improve the quality of care, patient safety and functional outcomes, it is necessary to keep patient information. A database storing patient data from the NRI department will make it possible to track patients since their arrival at the Brest University Hospital. Thanks to this structured database, clinical studies will be facilitated, making it possible to advance knowledge of the pathology and its treatments. From the bibliographical research, we can conclude as to the current state of the facts: there is currently no method for predicting the functional results of the interventional neuroradiologist's patient based on automated learning. A strategy based on an innovation programme is therefore being implemented over several years, the first stage of which is the retrospective data study which was approved by the ethics committee on 12/09/2019 and the second stage is the prospective data study. This innovation program requires the most complete and homogeneous data possible.
