There are about 62 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Guadeloupe. 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 frequency of cardiac amyloidosis among patients presenting with a so-called left ventricular hypertrophy remains unknown. This problem is especially relevant in the Caribbean's, where an amyloidosis-prone mutation of transthyretin gene might be frequent.
The purpose of this study is to provide a surveillance system to monitor changes in the rate of mother to child HIV transmission and preventive practices in France and especially to identify the occurrence of toxicity in children exposed perinatally to antiretroviral drugs.
The project aims at developing and structuring a network of clinicians, pathologists, and scientists, from the "Grand Ouest" area, most of them already involved in prostate cancer management and research. Patients treated by radical prostatectomy will be recruited within the ReSCaP network of clinicians, with centralized database and standardized bio-resource collection, including prostate and adipose tissue samples. Seven clinical centers will participate to the network, 6 recruiting mainly Caucasian patients, and 1 from the French West Indies recruiting mainly African Caribbean patients. After 18 months, 1000 patients will be included. The main goal is to study the relationships between adipose tissue/lipids and prostate cancer aggressiveness. In fact, adipose tissue is likely to be involved in cancer progression at many levels: abdominal obesity has been associated with aggressive disease, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as well as cytokines produced by adipocytes (adipokines) have an impact on cancer cells growth and migration in vitro. Moreover, adipose tissue is the preferential site of storage of persistent organic pollutants with estrogenic properties, which could impact cancer progression. The study will analyze the association between adipose tissue (distant from the prostate) composition and cancer aggressiveness. Among the 1000 patients, 100 aggressive tumors will be selected according to the d'Amico criteria (Gleason score 8 or more and/or pT3 tumors). They will be matched with 100 potentially indolent prostate cancers (Gleason 6 or less, and PSA less than 10, and pT2 stage on the surgical specimen). These 200 adipose tissue samples will be analyzed for 1/ the lipid profile, including the fatty acid composition, particularly PUFAs, that reflects past dietary fat intake, 2/ adipokine expression, and 3/ tissue concentrations of persistent organic pollutants belonging to the class of organochlorine pesticides with hormone-like activity.
The aim of this proposal is to evaluate the causal relationship between Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in pregnancy and congenital malformations. We will estimate the absolute and relative risks of congenital malformations and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy among women who become infected with ZIKV during pregnancy compared to uninfected pregnant women, also leading to further validation of the Congenital Zika Syndrome.
This study will estimate the cumulative incidence of Zika infection at the end of the first epidemic in the French West Indies in a sample of patients followed for HIV infection.
The objective of the Dataids cohort is to continue a long-term, prospective collection of clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data on a large cohort of HIV infected patients seeking care in 15 HIV centers in France in order : 1. to provide and develop a surveillance system to describe clinical practice and temporal changes in the clinical course of HIV and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities in France. 2. to assess the factors associated with the clinical, immunological and virological course of HIV infection and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities The specific objectives are as follows - To continue surveillance of HIV infection in France to describe temporal changes - To evaluate the efficacy of ART and factors associated with ART efficacy - To monitor the uptake and outcome of HCV therapy
The esophageal atresia is a group of birth defects including a break in continuity of the esophagus with or without persistent communication with the trachea (tracheoesophageal fistula), sometimes associated (from 50%) of other malformations (heart, kidney, digestive ...). The current prognosis for this ailment is good. However he persists a mortality (<10%) and significant morbidity, firstly related malformations (heart, kidney, for example), and secondly with particularly difficult anatomical forms (Forms long defect) . The prevalence of this condition is estimated to be 1/2500 in 3000 live births, making an estimated ± 2,500 new cases over to 10 years in France. The current project aims to set up a national registry (Metropolitan France and Dom Tom) to measure the prevalence of esophageal atresia among live births, phenotypic characteristics, the circumstances of their diagnosis, and their initial future at short-term during the first year of life, at which time occurs the vast majority of deaths and complications in this disease.
The purpose of this study is to seek the presence of ZIKV in semen, to determine its localization and to assess the efficiency of spermatozoa processing methods to obtain virus free spermatozoa.
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a 2-injection vaccine Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) virus-like particle vaccine (CHIKV VLP) in healthy adults.
In the context of the Risk Management Plan (RMP), as requested from Addmedica by the EMEA, to collect information about long-term safety of Siklos® (hydroxycarbamide) when used in patients with Sickle Cell Disease.
