There are about 36337 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.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the neurodevelopmental disorders described in the DSM5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This heterogeneous syndrome appears in childhood and persists throughout life with different developments from one individual to another. It is clinically characterized by the combination of deficits in social communication with restricted and repetitive behaviors. The prevalence of ASD has seen a significant increase over the last 10 years, with estimates varying greatly from one country to another, ranging from 4.2/1,000 in France to 31/1,000 in Iceland. In France, prevalence has been estimated by two child disability registers set up in the departments of Haute-Garonne (RHE31), Isère, Savoie, and Haute-Savoie (RHEOP), but there is no epidemiological surveillance system to estimate the national prevalence of ASD in the general population. However, the production of reliable epidemiological data at the national and territorial levels is essential for addressing the needs of individuals with ASD and for evaluating public policies. The main objective of our project is to estimate the annual prevalence of ASD in children, adolescents, and young adults at the national and regional levels using medico-administrative databases (SNDS), to study its evolution over the period 2010-2019 and its geographical distribution in relation to socio-demographic indicators and healthcare accessibility. Our secondary objectives are to validate an algorithm for detecting ASD in the National Health Data System (SNDS) and to estimate the direct medical costs associated with ASD management. The SNDS databases contain all medical care and treatments reimbursed for Health Insurance beneficiaries provided in the private or public sector. A case detection algorithm will be tested and validated on validation samples. Then, the prevalence of ASD will be estimated, taking into account geographical, socio-economic, and healthcare accessibility indicators, in order to study the factors associated with the significant disparity in rates observed in France and abroad. An estimate of direct medical costs will be made from the health insurance perspective. Our project therefore proposes the development of reliable indicators on the management of ASD in France with the aim of providing useful indicators and tools for guiding health and disability policies in France, promoting the development of appropriate interventions, and thus contributing to the improvement of the care and support of individuals with ASD as well as reducing inequalities in access to healthcare for these vulnerable populations.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an ultra-rare sarcoma, marked by distinctive molecular and pathological features and with a variable clinical behavior. Its natural history is still partially understood, reliable prognostic and predictive factors are lacking and many questions are still open on the optimal management. In the context of EURACAN, a prospective registry specifically dedicated to EHE was developed and launched with the aim of providing, through high-quality prospective data collection, a better understanding of this disease. The study design is a registry-based cohort study including only new cases of patients with a pathological and molecularly confirmed diagnosis of EHE. The objectives are to improve the understanding of EHE natural history, validate and identify new prognostic and predictive factors, clarify the activity and efficacy of currently available treatment options, describe treatment pattern. It is an hospital-based registry established in centres with expertise in EHE including adult patients with a new pathological and molecularly confirmed diagnosis of EHE starting from the 1st December 2023. The characteristics of each patient in the facility who meets the above-mentioned inclusion criteria will be collected prospectively and longitudinally with follow-up at cancer progression and / or cancer relapse or patient death. The data analyses will include descriptive statistics and analytical analyses. Multivariable Cox's proportional hazards model and Hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause or cause-specific mortality will be used to determine independent predictors of overall survival, recurrence and progression. The registry has been joined by 21 sarcoma reference centers across EU and UK, covering 10 countries. Patients' recruitment started in December 2023. The estimated completion date is December 2033 upon agreement on the achievement of all the registry objectives. The already established collaboration and participation of EHE patient's associations involved in the project will help in promoting the registry and fostering accrual. This registry has been developed with the support of EHE Rare Cancer Charity UK, STATER (Grant Agreement number: 947604, HP-PJ-2019) and EURACAN 2022 (Grant Agreement number: 101085486, EU4H-2022-ERN-IBA) European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)
Few teams in the world can reliably analyze tissue microbiota. In this regard, the present group has unique expertise in the analysis of blood and tissue microbiota, the first to describe in 2011. Having a blood biomarker of this valve microbiota could help guide the therapeutic strategy before and after the intervention. This study will be the first to test the hypothesis that the analysis of the blood microbiota makes it possible to detect the carriage of a tissue microbiota in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for degenerative aortic valve disease and should also lay the foundations for a prospective study. intended to evaluate the impact of the blood and valve microbiota on the post-operative prognosis of these patients and the complications at one year. This would be a first proof of concept of the role of the tissue microbiota in valvular degeneration linked to aging.
Assessment of Macrophage activation syndrome in STill's disease: retrospective chart analysis of patient History, Symptom resolution and Treatment characteristics
The aim of the study is to evaluate chemogram in patients with intermediate-grade superficial bladder cancer and patients with infiltrating bladder cancer, who are likely to be treated according to the standard procedure. This project is based on the premise that treatments - notably chemotherapy - are standard, but that each cancer is unique. It is therefore necessary to personalize the treatment for each patient, while at the same time proposing an approach that is economically bearable for the healthcare system. For both types of bladder tumor, chemotherapy is used either as an alternative to immunotherapy, or as an adjuvant to surgery. Its use is therefore based on its effectiveness in reducing post-treatment recurrence.
Indication : Adult patients with intermediate low or mid rectal adenocarcinoma to be treated with total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) potentially eligible for rectal preservation. Primary objective is to assess efficacy of contact X-ray brachytherapy (CXB) in addition to TNT in order to increase survival with organ preservation (OP), in selected intermediate risk group of rectal adenocarcinomas (size from 3.5 to 6 cm, cT2N1 or T3N0-1, M0).
This clinical trial is recruiting people who either are at risk of AD - have build-up of beta-amyloid, but have no clinical symptoms, or with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment. People can take part if they have a certain level of plaques (beta-amyloid) in the brain, shown by a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, a medical imaging technique in which tracers are injected to visualize specific pathological processes in the brain. People who take part in this clinical trial (participants) will be given RO7269162 OR placebo for up to about 1 and a half years. The clinical trial team will see them every 3 weeks in the first 3 months and then every 6 weeks until the end of the trial. These hospital visits will include checks to see how the participant responds to the treatment and any side effects they may have. The total time of participation in the clinical trial will be 90 weeks.
Esophageal atresia is associated with a right aortic arch in 2 to 13% of cases. Despite previous studies, consensus on the optimal surgical approach remains lacking. This study aims to analyze the management of esophageal atresia with a right aortic arch in France over three decades, to define the most effective surgical strategy and identify associated complications.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world. In France, 58,000 new cases were detected in 2018. Breast cancer is therefore the most common cancer in women. The 5-year survival rate for all stages combined is 88%. These excellent survival figures have been achieved thanks to improvements in treatment, including the advent of chemotherapy. The majority of patients will be cured of their cancer, so post-cancer quality of life is a major issue, hence the importance of trying to reduce long-term sequelae. Taxanes are one of the main cytotoxic anticancer agents used in the treatment of breast cancer. However, taxanes have a direct effect on the central and peripheral nervous systems and can induce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The mechanisms of NPIC by taxanes are not fully understood. CINP is manifested by symptoms of paresthesia, numbness, burning, pain, altered temperature perception, myalgia, myopathy, fine motor difficulties, gait and balance disturbances, muscle weakness in the lower limbs and/or functional decline. NPIC occurs in 80 to 97% of patients treated with taxanes and is the main limiting toxicity during paclitaxel administration. NPIC often leads to postponement or reduction of dose, or even discontinuation of treatment. In addition, NPIC may last for several months or even years after the end of anti-cancer chemotherapy and represents the main long-term sequelae. This can promote and/or exacerbate symptoms of psychological distress (depressive symptoms and symptoms of anxiety) and lead to a reduction in quality of life (QoL). Prevention of NIPC is therefore a major issue in breast cancer treatment. According to the 2014 guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, prevention and treatment of IPN are inadequate with current weapons, and there is an urgent need to evaluate and find new methods of prevention. One of the challenges in the management of NIPC will be to reduce the pain induced without diminishing the anti-tumour effect of anti-cancer agents. In recent years, the effectiveness of cryotherapy using a frozen glove and compression therapy using surgical gloves (SG) in preventing taxane-induced PINC has been reported. During chemotherapy, patients wore a frozen glove on one hand and two surgical gloves of the same size on the other hand continuously. Recent study explained how compression therapy and cryotherapy shared a similar mechanism of reducing drug exposure due to vasoconstriction during paclitaxel infusion. The low temperature associated with cryotherapy would reduce paclitaxel uptake and peripheral nerve damage, or mechanotransduction, and allow a reduction in NIPC. To date, no study has investigated the efficacy of combining the two means of prevention. The current standard at the Centre Antoine Lacassagne is cryotherapy. The aim of this prospective, self-controlled trial is therefore to compare the efficacy of cryotherapy combined with compression prevention versus cryotherapy alone in preventing paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients undergoing adjuvant treatment for localised breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ide-cel with lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance to that of LEN maintenance alone in adult participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have achieved a suboptimal response post autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
