There are about 36373 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.
In France primary liver cancers (PLC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in men, and the seventh in women. The number of new cases per year is predicted to increase by 26.5% between 2020 and 2040. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) account for 75% to 85% of PLC. It occurs mostly on cirrhotic livers. Diagnosis remains late in almost half of the patients so that a palliatif treatment is frequent. In advanced cases sorafenib has been so far the first line systemic therapy since 2008. In 2020 a phase 3 study has demonstrated a better overall survival in patients treated with bevacizumab associated with atezolizumab as compared to sorafenib (19.2 months vs 13.4 months) and a better quality of life. Noweday immunotherapy is recommended in first line in cases of ECOG 0/1 unresectable HCC without liver insufficiency. However the study included 70% of viral liver diseases while HCC are related to alcohol and steatohepatitis in 50% of cases in France. Moreover patients with high risk of oesophageal variceal bleeding were excluded. Recent real life data published worldwide confirm the bitherapy efficacy and good tolerability. By contrast french data are scarces, with a single serie of 43 patients in which median overall survival was estimated to 12 months. Our main aim is to determine the overall survival of HCC patients treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in Caen from april 2021.
"Monocentric retrospective study.Analysis of a case series of patients who underwent nail resection with dermal matrix and skin graft reconstruction in the setting of nail bed malignancy. Objective: To assess patients' quality of life and satisfaction with the function and aesthetics of dermal matrix and skin graft reconstruction of the nail apparatus.

The goal of this multicenter, observational, retrospective is to evaluate the standards of use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) in adult patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with a particular interest on phase of ITP (defined according to time when diagnosis of ITP is established in the medical records: newly diagnosed, 0-3 months; persistent, 3-12 months, and chronic, > 12 months), tolerability, safety, posology and remissions, outside controlled clinical trials. Secondary Objectives: To analyze the patient characteristics that could affect the choice of thrombopoietin receptor agonist for the treatment of ITP, considering specific clinical aspects (such as previous thromboembolic disease, bleeding, platelet count, surgical procedures, etc.). To evaluate the degree of adherence to international guidelines related to the use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in regular clinical practice. Data will be collected through a retrospective chart review of patients with ITP who started TPO-RA treatment between January 2014 and December 2018.
The study is an evaluation of the diagnostic performance of different tests and their association in order to confirm or exclude active tuberculosis.
Diabetes in an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, whose associated mortality rate is higher and sequelae more serious than for nondiabetics. Diabetes increases the risk of stroke or death after surgical carotid revascularization or endoluminal angioplasty. It is, with contralateral ICA occlusion, 1 of the 7 factors doubling the stroke risk after carotid endarterectomy. Diabetes also enhances the cerebral hemorrhage risk associated with carotid surgery, thrombectomy or thrombolysis revascularization of the cerebral arteries. This study was undertaken to examine whether the hemodynamic cerebral ischemia (HCI) frequency, which increases stroke severity, is higher in diabetics than nondiabetics and, if diabetes carries an excess HCI risk, whether it is independent of contralateral ICA occlusion.
Main objective To measure the effects of a group prevention intervention on the sexual and affective knowledge of high school students in the Basse-Normandie region. Secondary objective Take stock of what is known about the sexual and emotional health of teenagers.
Background: Severe anorexia nervosa is a complex psychiatric pathology with limited therapeutic tools to reduce morbidity and mortality. Equine-assisted therapy could provide additional therapeutic benefits. Objectives : The investigators aimed to explore the effects of equine assisted therapy on the experience of adolescents with severe anorexia nervosa. Méthods : Using a qualitative approach based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the investigators conducted semi-structured interviews with nine participants who had taken part in equine-assisted therapy sessions.
This retrospective cohort study, based on the French medico-administrative database (SNDS), evaluated the care pathway, the effectiveness of management and the costs associated with patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CART-cells) (KYMRIAH or YESCARTA): paediatric and young adult patients (up to and including 25 years of age) with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL); and adult patients (18 years of age or older) with DLBCL.
The association between social deprivation and chronic disease is regularly examined but there are no data available on patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF). First, the investigators aim to characterize this population and then to assess if insecurity is associated with some disease criteria.
Advancements in perinatal care have significantly improved the survival of extremely premature infants, establishing a viability threshold below 25 weeks' gestational age (GA). However, management at the limit of viability poses ethical and decision-making problems for health-care professionals. They grapple with the delicate balance between potential survival and long-term disabilities. These decisions, as well as the information given to families, are based on knowledge of the prognosis as assessed by national and international epidemiological studies. Healthcare professionals rely on population-based estimations but face discrepancies in predicting outcomes because there are significant variation depending on perinatal center and country where infants are hospitalized. In the large French epidemiological study, 9,6% of livebirths included were born at 22-25 wks and only 38% survived. In the neonatology department of the croix rousse, these infants have been actively cared for for many years, which has allowed the development of specific skills that are essential for the proper management of these very high-risk patients. Furthermore, EPIPAGE 2 included data from centers where perinatal management was probably not very active at these extreme ages. It results in worse neonatal outcomes as evaluated at the national level than outcomes data evaluated at the neonatal intensive care unit of Croix-Rousse hospital. Using data from EPIPAGE 2 study for clinical decision could lead to avoid active care at the for some infants at the limit of viability It is needed to obtain complete evaluation of neonatal outcomes of infants hospitalized at the Croix-Rousse hospital, so that clinicians may rely on actualized data related to the practices in their perinatal center. It is also needed to compare outcomes with data from large national and international cohorts, to identify and quantify differences. Data about later neurodevelopment outcomes, at 2 years, are also needed as it can taken in consideration in decision-making process.
