NCT ID: NCT04918082 Active, not recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Assessment of Quality of Life and Treatment Times for Patients With Invasive Type Breast Cancer in Martinique

Qualibreast-MQ
Start date: October 28, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cancer and its treatments can be factors that alter the quality of life of patients. The induced alteration of the quality of life can influence compliance and impact survival. Considering the after-effects of the treatment, carrying out such a survey will provide for the first time precise information on the main determinants of the quality of life as well as on the care pathway of patients with invasive breast cancer in the Martinique region.

NCT ID: NCT04768153 Active, not recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Prioritising Prevention of COVID-19 in Persons With Cancer in the French West Indies

RESILIENCE
Start date: July 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The public health council (Haut Conseil de Santé Publique) published a statement on 14 March 2020 relating to the management of patients with severe forms of COVID-19, stipulating specific recommendations for patients with cancer. The statement notes that patients with cancer at much higher risk (four to five times higher) of several respiratory complications, which develop very rapidly, especially if they had recently undergone surgery or chemotherapy in the previous few weeks, and that this risk could be life-threatening, on top of the cancer-related risk. In addition, the statement noted that: - COVID-19 appears to be more frequent in patients with cancer than among the general population (1% vs 0.29%) - Among those infected, the risk of severe respiratory complications requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is higher in patients with cancer than among those without (39% vs 8%, P=0.0003). - A history of chemotherapy or surgery in the previous months is an important prognostic factor for the development of severe respiratory complications (odds ratio (OR) = 5.34, P= 0.0026). - Deterioration of respiratory function occurs more quickly in patients with cancer (13 vs 43 days, hazard ratio (HR) 3.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.65-7.69]). In addition, COVID-19 may lead to a change in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with cancer, with potential consequences such as use of oral treatments at home, discontinuation of anticancer therapy depending on the context, or prioritization of management according to curative/palliative treatment type, age, and line of therapy. International studies previously reported the psychological repercussions of major epidemics on the emotional state. The impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer therefore warrants evaluation, among cancer patients in the French West Indies, in the current situation of nationwide lockdown.

NCT ID: NCT04418245 Active, not recruiting - Covid-19 Clinical Trials

CT Biomarkers Identification by Artificial Intelligence for COVID-19 Prognosis

COVID 19-IA
Start date: March 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study hypothesis is that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) coupled with artificial intelligence by deep learning would generate imaging biomarkers linked to the patient's short- and medium-term prognosis. The purpose of this study is to rapidly make available an early decision-making tool (from the first hospital consultation of the patient with symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2) based on the integration of several biomarkers (clinical, biological, imaging by thoracic scanner) allowing both personalized medicine and better anticipation of the patient's evolution in terms of care organization.

NCT ID: NCT03766672 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Endometrial Neoplasms

Characterization of the Genetic Profile of Type 2 Endometrial Carcinoma in Martinique

ENDO-NGS-MQ
Start date: November 22, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In Martinique, about 33 new cases are diagnosed per year, with a high incidence rate of type 2 endometrial carcinoma which has a poor prognosis with few therapeutic options. Although targeted therapies are used in many types of cancer, they are still possible a minority of patients. In current practice, endometrial cancers do not benefit these therapies. Characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in the genesis of type 2 endometrial carcinoma could help to identify biomarkers predictive of a response to targeted therapies. We propose to identify the genetic profile of type 2 endometrial carcinomas in Martinique.

NCT ID: NCT03693677 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

First Line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer : 5FU/LV+Nal-IRI, Gemcitabine+Nab-paclitaxel or a Sequential Regimen of 2 Months 5FU/LV+Nal-IRI

FUNGEMAX
Start date: November 16, 2018
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

In Europe, pancreatic cancer (PC) is the 7th most common cancer and the 5th leading cause of cancer death in Europe. Each year, the number of deaths due to prostate cancer is almost as high as the number of new cases diagnosed reflecting the poor prognosis associated with this disease. PC is insidious and is often diagnosed late. Despite advances in the management of other more common gastrointestinal cancers, the treatment of PC has had few benefits inherent in recent advances in digestive oncology. Gemcitabine has thus remained the reference treatment for more than 10 years. Recent studies have shown that gemcitabine/Nab-paclitaxel combination therapy is more effective in PC than gemcitabine-based therapy alone. In addition, multidrug therapy approaches (Irinotecan-5FU/LV) have also emerged to avoid the emergence of resistance to treatments while limiting toxicities. The recently developed Nal-IRI has also shown interesting efficacy in patients with metastatic PC previously treated with gemcitabine, with improved overall survival median and limited toxicity. Based on this information, the NAPOLI trial was conducted in patients with second line PC comparing the efficacy of Nal-IRI/5FU/LV or Nal-IRI and 5FU/LV alone; in this key study, the combination Nal-IRI/5FU/LV treatment was more effective than monotherapies (Nal-IRI or 5FU/LV alone). Based on all these data, a Phase II trial testing the standard of care gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel vs Nal-IRI/5FU/LV vs Nal-IRI/5FU/LV 2-months sequential regimen followed by gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel will be performed. This will allow us to i) know the tolerance and efficacy of Nal-IRI/5FU/LV in the first line of treatment, ii) test a new sequential strategy with Nal-IRI but also iii) compare our results in the experimental arms with one of the two world standard therapeutic regimens: gemcitabine + nab-Paclitaxel. All this in order to improve the management of patients with PC from the first line of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT03603457 Active, not recruiting - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

OFSEP High Definition Cohort

OFSEP HD
Start date: July 10, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

For neurologists and patients, it appears that one major unmet need, beside of course a cure to multiple sclerosis (MS), is to better appreciate the causal factors of disease progression, and even to obtain reliable predictive tools that could apply on the individual level and at different key moments in the disease course. The overarching objective of the OFSEP-HD cohort is to determine prognostic factors of the evolution of disability in MS in real life, looking at disease characteristics, care practices potentially modifying the evolution of the disease since MS clinical onset and along specific post-onset landmarks. This general framework leads to study 3 specific research objectives: 1. To identify determinants (socio-demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, health related quality of life (QoL), changes in classification, and biomarkers) for the progression of MS disease and its consequences; 2. To study the effectiveness of treatments in real life; 3. To merge both determinants and treatments for creating patient-centered prognostic tools for identifying specific subgroups of patients and helping making decision to start, maintain or adapt care management. To achieve these objectives, the OFSEP (The French multiple sclerosis registry) infrastructure, managed under a quality insurance system, offers a unique opportunity for the first time in France to create a large cohort of MS cases, providing high-definition and sequential multimodal data.

NCT ID: NCT03444779 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Schatzker Type 2 or 3 Tibial Plateau Fracture

Comparative Evaluation of Minimally Invasive "Tibial Tuberoplasty" Surgical Technique Versus Conventional Open Surgery for Tibial Plateau Fractures

TUBERIMPACT
Start date: October 26, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

PMSI (French Medico-Administrative Database) data shows more than 10000 proximal tibial fractures diagnosed in 2014 and 4055 lateral tibial plateau fractures operated in 2013 in France. 50% of these surgical fractures is related to the lateral condyle and causes split/depression (Schatzker 2) or pure depression (Schatzker 3). This high rate results from the recent democratization of high-risk sports, as well as an aging population with increased risks of falling. Aside from the resulting reduced physical activity, the social and professional impact of these fractures is undeniable and represents significant costs for our health care system. A recently published prospective case series reports 28 job losses out of 41 patients treated. The clinical outcome of these patients depends mainly on the primary stability provided by the surgical treatment, after the greatest anatomical reduction possible. Indeed, Giannoudis and al. have demonstrated that under simple X-rays, the smaller the detected step-off, the better the outcome.The aim is to allow for recovery of good joint mobility to promote rapid resumption of activity and to limit the onset of early osteoarthritis. The classical technique used for reduction and osteosynthesis of tibial plateau fractures (open surgical technique using a bone tamp) has several pitfalls : devascularization of the bone and skin, risks of infection and functional rehabilitation difficulties with delayed recovery of weight bearing. Moreover, this technique does not allow for the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of other possible lesions, such as meniscal injuries in particular. Since 2011, Poitiers University Hospital is offering to its patients a new minimally invasive technique for the reduction and stabilization of tibial plateau fractures, baptized "Tibial Tuberoplasty". The concept derives from the divergent use of vertebral kyphoplasty, initially dedicated for spinal injuries and transposed here to the tibial plateau. This technique involves expansion of the tibial plateau through inflation of a kyphoplasty balloon, filling of the created cavity with cement (PMMA, calcium phosphate) and percutaneous screw fixation. Orthopaedic surgeons of Poitiers University Hospital performed the first tibial tuberoplasties through a feasibility study on 36 cadaveric subjects and then transposed the technique to human. Surgeons identified major advantages such as minimal skin damage, possible treatment of posterior and multi-fragmented compressions (lifting in a single block by the balloon), reinforcement of the stability of the assembly using cement, possible use of combined arthroscopy (for concomitant meniscal injuries treatment). This technique allows for optimization of the fracture reduction by elevating the posterior fragments with the inflatable bone tamp through an anterior approach. The reduction is made possible thanks to the specificity of the inflatable bone tamp which inflates and reduces the area of least resistance. The aim of this innovative technique is focused on the anatomical reduction in order to restore the convexity of the tibial plateau which is similar to the balloon convexity. The results from the first 40 patients operated since 2011 are promising and show a proportion of 70% presenting less than 5 mm step-off reduction. A larger scale multicenter randomized controlled trial is now requested to further demonstrate the superiority of the "Tibial Tuberoplasty" to the standard treatment. The coordinator investigator designed this study to evaluate the quality of tibial fracture reduction offered by percutaneous "Tibial Tuberoplasty" versus conventional open surgery for tibial plateau fracture but also its impact on clinical outcome.

NCT ID: NCT03006432 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for OESOPHAGO-GASTRIC CARCINOMA

PHASE III RANDOMISED TRIAL TO EVALUATE FOLFOX WITH OR WITHOUT DOCETAXEL (TFOX) AS 1st LINE CHEMOTHERAPY FOR LOCALLY ADVANCED OR METASTATIC OESOPHAGO-GASTRIC CARCINOMA

GASTFOX
Start date: December 19, 2016
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Gastric cancer is the fourth commonest cancer and the second largest cause of mortality from cancer. Surgical resection of localised forms of gastric cancer offers the only chance of a cure. The vast majority of patients, however, present with advanced disease from the outset (locally advanced or metastatic) or recurrent after resection of a localised form. For metastatic or locally advanced stages of gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, the combination of 2 chemotherapy drugs (dual therapy) as compared with monotherapy or no chemotherapy, makes it possible to improve the tumour response and patient survival. Dual therapy comprising cisplatin + fluoropyrimidine (CF protocol) is considered as one of the first-line chemotherapy treatment standards. The addition of docetaxel to the CF regime (referred to as the DCF protocol) has made it possible to improve the tumour response rate, the time to tumour progression and overall survival in a randomised phase III trial. This improvement in treatment efficacy was achieved, however, at the expense of a significant increase in grade 3-4 toxicity, including diarrhoea , neutropenia, and neutropenia with complications. Although DCF is considered as a therapeutic standard for advanced forms of gastric cancer, its use is limited in clinical practice due to its high toxicity. Oxaliplatin has shown its usefulness in treatment of oesophagogastric cancer, with an efficacy at least equal to that of cisplatin. Peripheral sensory neuropathy was less common in the 5FU-cisplatin arm. In terms of treatment efficacy, 5FU-oxaliplatin versus 5FU-cisplatin was associated with a non-significant improvement in median progression free survival rates, and overall survival. All these data thus suggest that 5FU-oxaliplatin is at least as efficacious and is better tolerated than 5FU-cisplatin, and also that docetaxel-5FU-cisplatin is more efficacious than 5FU-cisplatin, with limited use due to its high toxicity. In the logical continuation of development of chemotherapy protocols for metastatic gastric cancer, the question therefore arises of the usefulness of adding docetaxel to 5FU-oxaliplatin, in terms of efficacy and also tolerance. In France, chemotherapy with FOLFOX is used extensively as a first line of treatment in advanced gastric cancer, but with progression-free survival and median survival rates that are still too low, and a poor response rate. The use of docetaxel at a dose of 50 mg/m2 every 2 weeks in combination with FOLFOX (TFOX protocol) has shown very interesting results in phase II studies in terms of efficacy and tolerability, and these are worth confirming through a phase III randomised trial. In fact, if these results are confirmed in phase III, TFOX could become the new first-line therapeutic standard for advanced gastric cancer, while limiting toxicity and preserving patients' quality of life, and could become the reference treatment to accompany the targeted therapies currently being developed for this disease. The primary objective of this randomised phase III trial is to compare the progression-free survival on dual therapy with 5FU-oxaliplatin (FOLFOX protocol) with triple therapy with 5FU-oxaliplatin-docetaxel (TFOX protocol) in treatment of advanced forms of gastric or oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. The secondary objectives are overall survival, the tumour response rate, toxicity, quality of life and the therapeutic index, defined as the ratio between the median progression-free survival and the febrile neutropenia rate.

NCT ID: NCT02281123 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Infected by Chikungunya Virus

Study of the Prognostic Value of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Adults With Chikungunya

EchoCHIK
Start date: July 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes whose clinical feature is the early joint damage. Approximately 8% of patients have chronic arthropathy resembling to the rheumatoid polyarthritis. The EchoCHIK study we propose is in the context of the epidemic in Martinique which began in January 2014. It should give a better understanding of arthritis and juxtaarticular of CHIK and look for signs that may allow ultrasound predict the evolution of chronic arthropathy of CHIK.
