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 main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy at 6 months of omega 3 supplementation on macular capillary density measured in optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with minimal or moderate non proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic surgical procedure and is associated with severe pain in the immediate postoperative period, thus limiting early recovery. Postoperative pain management requires multimodal analgesia, combining drugs and injection of a local anesthetic (LA). For optimal pain management, several peripheral nerve blocks should be associated. Thus, a recent study shows that the combination of IPACK, femoral triangle and obturator nerve blocks (ITO blocks) provides an effective pain control after TKA. The hypothesis of this study is that a quadruple nerve block combining femoral, sciatic, obturator and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks (quadri-block) could improve analgesia after TKA. The main objective of this monocenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled trial is to assess the effect of quadri-block on morphine consumption after TKA compared to ITO blocks.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare hematologic malignancy of aberrant plasma cells. There is a high and currently unmet medical need for novel, innovative treatment concepts to improve the therapeutic outcome and prognosis of patients suffering from MM. There is definitive evidence that MM is susceptible to immune-based therapies from pre-clinical investigations and early clinical trials. CARAMBA-1 is a first-in-human clinical trial of adoptive immunotherapy with autologous signaling lymphocytic activation molecule F7 (SLAMF7) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in patients with advanced MM that have exhausted conventional therapies. The CARAMBA-1 clinical trial is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter clinical trial which combines a phase I dose-escalation part with a phase IIa dose-expansion part to assess feasibility, safety and anti-myeloma activity of SLAMF7 CAR-T cells. The CARAMBA project and the CARAMBA-1 clinical trial are supported by the European Union in the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
Open-angle glaucoma is a degeneration of the optic nerve, highlighted by campimetric alterations, and wose only current therapeutic target is the lowering of the intra-ocular pressure (using eye drops, surgery or laser). MEMOPTIC is a tablet combining citicoline, magnesium and Gingko biloba, which have a neuroprotective effect already used in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease for example. Citicoline has also shown several promising results in ophthalmological diseases (glaucoma, amblyopia or more recently in ischemic optic neuropathies). The citicoline used in eye drops (NEURODROP) has already shown results on the preservation of the vision of glaucomatous patients. The purpose of this project is to determine if MEMOPTIC can have an effect, in addition to the conventional treatments, in the preservation of vision of patients treated for an open-angle glaucoma.
Objectives: Collect clinical and biological data about patients with SD/THE, collect samples of patients; create a secure on line database to collect worldwide data about SD/THE Partners : APHM, HCL, APHP Currently10 patients (8 with TTC37 mutations and 2 with SKIV2l mutations) present a SD/THE and are managed in France in 5 different centers (Marseille, Paris Trousseau, Paris Necker, Paris Robert Debrés, and Lyon). Most of them are followed in hepato-gastro-enterology units for their intractable diarrhea. Three aspects of the disease: intractable diarrhea, immune defect and liver disease are responsible for the main part of the burden of the disease .For each aspect, the investigators will propose a close follow-up with collection of clinical, biochemical, functional and microbial data. Collect of clinical date: during a programmed consultation clinical data about symptom will be collected twice a year. A detailed form will be used for better delineation of the symptoms. These data included growth, symptom (diarrhea, pain …), and clinical signs. Most of these children have recurrent sample for follow up. During them some blood will be take for study the immune side but also the platelet function.
There is a lack of knowledge among patients concerning their treatment with bDMARDs. To increase knowledge and safety skills, patient education is essential. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a pharmacist's educational interview on on knowledge and safety skills to bDMARDs in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
In France, 34% of the adult population is smoking every day. The links between smoking and the development of several chronic disorders is well established and smoking is directly implicated in most of the oral diseases such as cancers of the oral cavity. Thus, dentists have access to an area of the body that is actively affected and this gives them a central role in dispensing advice and support regarding smoking cessation. Dentists often cite issues such as lack of time or education as a reason for why they do not offer support for smoking cessation. A brief intervention can increase smoking cessation by 30 to 100% (ie 1-3% in absolute value). The "5A" approach integrates and extends the brief intervention. It consists in Asking about smoking status, Advising smokers of the benefit of stopping, Assessing motivation to quit, Assisting smokers in their quit attempt, Arranging follow-up with stop-smoking services. For practitioners who do not have enough time, a "3A" approach might be acceptable (Ask, Advice and Act) by providing details of local stop smoking services and/or prescribing nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). This very brief advice can be delivered in less than one minute. To investigators knowledge, the role of dentists in the French national tobacco-free program is not yet documented in France while since 2016, dentists can prescribe NRT with some products taken in charge by the French health insurance. An intervention taking part in the continuing professional development will be developed so the dentists fell legitimate, motivated and competent to talk with their patients about their tobacco consumption and to assist them in their smoking cessation process. This intervention based on the 5/3A approach and prescription of NRT will include a specific training and provision of management kit, with communication tools and network for appropriate references. Investigators hypothesize that 5/3A approach is feasible with adequate intervention in dental practices in France (dentists apply the approach to 90% of their patients) and that the format, the conditions, the barriers and the lever actions of its implementation are known.
This is a randomized open-label multicentre Phase III superiority study of the effect of adding SBRT to the standard of care treatment on overall survival in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between current standard of care treatment vs. standard of care treatment + SBRT to all sites of known metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to assess if the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to standard of care treatment improves overall survival (OS) as compared to standard of care treatment alone in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers.
In the context of a viral outbreak and of widespread quarantine measures, a significant increase in psychological disorders, such as stress or fear behaviours, had previously been observed. This distress has been described on adults, but no data have been collected yet for paediatric populations. After a traumatic event, children and adolescents may present several clinical consequences, the most common being Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Moreover, PTSD in children and adolescents is often associated with comorbid disorders, such Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, attachment and anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances and behavior problems. The aim of this study is to present the methodology of "CoCo 20" : is to assess the impact of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and of seclusion measures on mental health and on the development of psychological disorders in children in the short to medium term
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of the prognosis of co-morbidities, such as coronary artery disease, which significantly increase the risk of mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV2. Investigators have recently studied the complex links between respiratory infections, particularly pneumonia, and type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) in many respects. The etiology of type 2 MI is based on an imbalance of myocardial oxygen supply/need in the absence of rupture/erosion of atheromatous plaques. Based on the RICO survey data, the investigators investigated whether COVID-19-related sepsis and/or respiratory failure could be an underlying mechanism of MI2.
