There are about 36225 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 study aims to evaluate clinical characteristics and prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using T hs-cTn measurements The study includes all patients admitted in 2 French university centers with the confirmed diagnostic of UA defined with clinical ischemic symptoms and T hs-cTn concentrations < 99 percentile (undetectable: <5ng/l or non-elevated: <14ng/l), or ≥ 99 percentile but mildly elevated (14-50ng/l) .The primary end-point included major events at 1-year follow-up (total mortality, new ACS, hospitalization for cardiac causes).
The EPISTRESS2 study is a one-off cross-sectional epidemiological survey, carried out via an online form in patients with type 1 diabetes followed up by participating investigating centres. In type 1 diabetes (T1DM), studies on stress and its impact on glycaemia have led to ambiguous results, mainly because there are no solid epidemiological or experimental data in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of perceived stress on blood glucose levels in a population of subjects with T1DM at 10 national centres.
Bispecific antibody (BsAb) treatments, teclistamab and elranatamab, are newly available for patients with multiple myeloma who are refractory to all current drugs. The results are very encouraging but complicated adverse events, particularly infectious. This study analyzes survival data in patients treated with BsAb, as well as safety data, in particular the proportions and locations of infectious events. The results are compared to a control cohort. This study is multicentric on all the university hospitals of Paris (AP-HP).
For several years, the effects of environmental pollution on human health have been a growing concern for the scientific community and public authorities. Among the many known chemical contaminants, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are of particular concern because of their properties as endocrine disrupters, bioaccumulation and biomagnification. The associations between environmental pollutants, endometriosis and infertility remains poorly understood. The objective of this exploratory non interventional monocentric study conducted in the University Hospital of Nantes, is to identify endogenous molecular profiles associated with endometriosis and related infertility. This project implements an exploratory approach combining exposure and metabolomics approaches based on high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify exposure and metabolomics profiles associated with infertility, and biomarkers for potential prognostic application.
The Hospital of Saint Denis (HSD) has been involved for several years in the dynamics of organ donation. In spite of the evolution of the practices of coordination of the collection of samples, the rate of refusal of organ donation is increasing in our hospital, contrary to the rest of France. Based on hypotheses derived from psychological and anthropological perspectives, this survey will provide first-hand information on the personal, family and cultural issues related to organ donation. It will be a question of identifying and locating individual and collective representations concerning death, its definition, and the associated symbols and rites. Based on the collection of these representations, we will be able to propose hypotheses of a psychological, social and anthropological nature on resistance to organ donation.
Nowadays, taking care of preterm birth is associated with an important increase in survival. This increased survival comes with impairment in neurodevelopmental outcomes in long term evaluation. Thyroid hormones are essentials for brain development, especially for neuronal differentiation. Transient hypothyroxinaemia of prematurity (THOP) is a frequent condition defined by decreased thyroid hormones without the expected rise in thyroid stimulating hormone. Various studies have showed various results regarding the consequences of THOP on neurodevelopment in premature neonates. However, the biggest and most powerful studies agree to say that THOP impair neurodevelopment. On the other hand, only a few studies evaluated the impact of treatment of THOP, and only two focused on treating exclusively the neonates with a biological diagnosis of THOP (Suzumura and co. in 2010 and Nomura and co. in 2014) and their results are inconsistent. In this study, we aim to show that a treatment with L-thyroxine at a dose of 7.5 µg/kg/j for neonates diagnosed with THOP (defined as a level of l-T4 < 12 pmol/L and a level of TSH < 15 mUI/L before 15 days of life or < 85 mUI/L after 15 days of birth) is associated with an increased neurodevelopmental prognosis.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the knowledge and compliance of French intensive care units with the ABCDEF (A: Assessment, Prevention, Management of Pain, B: Both Spontaneous Awakening Trials and Spontaneous Breathing Trials, C: Choice of Sedation and Analgesia, D: Delirium Assessment, Prevention, and Management, E: Early Mobility and Exercise, F: Family Engagement and Empowerment) bundle. French ICU doctors will be asked to answer a questionnaire available online.
Breastfeeding up to 6 months of a child's life, for its benefits to mother and child, has become a global public health goal. However, there is a disparity in the prevalence of breastfeeding (BF) in different regions of the world. According to French perinatal surveys, the rate of BF at birth decreased significantly between 2010 and 2016. Even if that figure remains stable according to the last perinatal survey in 2021, it decreases sharply, to 34.4%, at 2 months.While many plans at the national level advocate for BF, it is rare to see an action plan or an education intervention for women and couples aimed at promoting BF. However, women's needs to educate about BF and the need for professionals to reflect on their practices are highlighted by numerous perinatal surveys. It should be noted that despite the importance given to the promotion of BF found in all National Nutrition and Health Programs, none of them provide pedagogical means or an education program to achieve the objectives set. At present, in France, there is no breastfeeding education program and professionals accompany women by implementing experimental actions without considering the complexity of the promotional dimension (producing a behavioral change) and the educational dimension (understanding the pedagogy of the proposed actions)
Several randomised studies have shown that the addition of low-dose Simethicone to the bowel preparation was sufficient to reduce the presence of bubbles during colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a bowel preparation containing low-dose Simethicone on bubble formation. Patients and Methods This prospective, real-life, phase 4 study was conducted from February 2020 to May 2021, in five private endoscopy centres, among adult patients undergoing a colonoscopy. Clinical, endoscopic and histological parameters were collected on e-CRF. The primary endpoint was the measurement of bubble formation in the various colon segments.
A retrospective study of a single-center prospective database of patients who underwent curative CRS-HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colo-rectal cancer (CRC), between September 2012 and July 2023 at Reims Hospital-University was conducted. Inclusion criteria were: patients older than 18 years with a performance status ≤ 2, who underwent complete (no macroscopic residual disease) CRS-HIPEC was performed. Exclusion criteria were the presence of an infectious disease prior to surgery, CRS without HIPEC, incomplete CRS and expressed refusal to participate in the study. During the month prior to surgery, patients underwent a thorough diagnostic workup, including chest and abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scans, complete haematological and biochemical tests, and cytobacteriological analysis of urine. Blood tests included leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelet count, albumin and CRP. Within one week before surgery, patients were examined by both the surgeon and the anaesthetist. Variables with a normal distribution are presented as mean-SD, while those with a non-normal distribution are presented as median and range. Categorical variables are presented as counts and percentages. Chi-Square or Fisher's exact test was used to compare qualitative variables. Linear regression analysis was used to assess any association between preoperative inflammatory biomarkers and patient comorbidities and disease characteristics. Preoperative levels of inflammatory biomarkers were compared between patients with no postoperative complication (POC) and patients with POC and major POC using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. Optimal cut-off values for significant inflammatory biomarkers were determined using the Youden index. Receiver operating curves (ROC) were calculated to determine the area under the curve (AUC). Univariable and multivariable analyses including cut-off values of significant biomarkers were performed in a binary logistic regression analysis and expressed as odds ratios (OR). All tests were two-tailed and results were considered significant if the p-value was < 0.05. Statistical analyses were performed using R software (version 4.0.5).
