There are about 36633 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.
Study the quality of life with generic questionnaires (17-20), validated and used in other pathologies and chronic diseases of the child. This will allow reproducibility and comparisons to other populations, general or other chronic diseases (acute leukemias ...). This is to conduct a pilot study, preliminary to the construction of a larger study, longitudinal with several evaluation times.
It was proposed to the French Association of Rett Syndrome (AFSR) to perform an extensive biological assessment in a series of 100 girls with Rett's syndrome and carriers of a mutation in the MECP2 gene in order to confirm or confirm to reverse the abnormalities identified previously and possibly, to highlight new biomarkers of the pathology. The analysis will focus on classical hematological criteria, iron markers, endocrine assays, lipid quantification and markers of inflammation. At the end of the project, each family will receive the complete biological assessment carried out on their daughter which will represent a direct benefit of the implication in this clinical research project.
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) remain the standard treatment in renal transplantation to prevent rejection. Currently the main limitation of kidney transplantation is the occurrence of chronic graft dysfunction due to the CNI nephrotoxicity. Thus, strategies to minimize or stop CNI have been developed as belatacept, a fusion protein (CTLA4-Ig) blocking the ligand of the main CD28 costimulatory molecule. In the original phase III trial, used de novo in combination with MMF (without CNI) belatacept allowed to obtain a better renal function as soon as 1 year and a better graft and patient survival after 7 years. Despite these excellent results, belatacept has not become the gold standard due to a higher incidence of early rejection. In addition, belatacept is not covered by the french social security policy, because benefits are considered insufficient with respect to the cost. Patients with poor early graft function are a preferred indication of belatacept. It is then used instead of CNI at 3 months post-transplant allowing to improve kidney function without over-risk of rejection. Currently after conversion, belatacept is maintained indefinitely due to the supposed CNI chronic nephrotoxicity. However this one is more and more questionable. Thus, the investigators assume that in patients with poor function at 3 months posttransplantation the belatacept's benefit could be obtained by a transient replacement of CNI by belatacept from 3 to 12 months post-transplantation. It is the feasibility of this strategy and its medico-economic impact that the investigators wish to study.
Autologous ADSVF constitutes an innovative therapeutic strategy that concentrates various types of regenerative stem cells and paracrine factors able to promote angiogenesis and tissue repair. Together with the ease of collection from a minimally manipulated lipoaspirate, the unique properties of ADSVF offer new opportunities for fistulas' healing in patients with CD. The use of ADSVF is currently developed in many clinical fields based on safety and efficacy data. Our ADICROHN pilot study evaluating safety and tolerance of local administration of autologous ADSVF with microfat in CD patients with complex perianal fistula refractory to conventional medical and surgical therapy showed that this novel therapeutic approach appears feasible and safe. However the therapeutic potential of local this combined treatment in healing refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas still remains to be demonstrated. The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of local injection of autologous ADSVF and microfat versus placebo for the treatment of complex refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas at week 24. The efficacy will be assessed on clinical assessment of closure of all the external openings that were drained at baseline, and MRI confirmation of absence of collections > 2 cm of the treated perianal fistulas at week 24.
This study will examine the benefits of involving partner in a Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program for tobacco and alcohol for women treated for breast cancer. Using a two-arm randomized trial (couple brief motivational intervention (CBMI) versus individual brief motivational intervention (IBMI) with repeated measures at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months.
This study aims to estimate the association between blood fibrocytes measured during a suspected exacerbation and 3-year decline forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), in patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in primary care, with a history of smoking, independently of the number of exacerbations and of tobacco or occupational exposure.
French patients with nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour, WT) have been treated for > 40 years according to International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) protocols with currently 267 centres across 28 countries collaborating internationally within the SIOP Renal Tumour Study Group (RTSG). Over the last decades more than 10,000 children have been prospectively enrolled in SIOP WT studies and trials. This has resulted in more standardised diagnostic procedures, improved risk stratification, and adjusted treatment recommendations for most renal tumours. The treatment of patients with renal tumours according to SIOP protocols include preoperative chemotherapy, surgery (tumour-nephrectomy + node-picking ± metastasectomy) followed by risk- and stage-based postoperative chemotherapy ± radiotherapy. Central pathology review is nowadays routinely performed in order to prevent misclassification of stage and histology risk group. The current SIOP 2001 protocol has come to an end with as major achievement the scientific proof of omitting doxorubicin in stage II and III patients with as a consequence less risk of sequelae. Moreover, in the SIOP 2001 protocol, several tumour biological aspects have been assessed that seem to interfere with outcome (chromosomal gain of 1q, or loss of 1p and 16q, blastemal residual volume). Chromosomal 1q gain is considered to be present in 25-35% of patients with nephroblastoma with a negative impact on event-free survival (EFS) in retrospective analyses. These biological aspects will be studied prospectively as a primary objective in the new SIOP RTSG 2016 UMBRELLA protocol that integrates diagnostics, treatment and follow-up guidelines as well as several research projects. The main mission of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) Renal Tumour Study Group (RTSG) is to increase survival and to reduce acute treatment toxicity and late effects in all children diagnosed with any renal tumour. In this context, SIOP RTSG is aiming to offer all these patients the same standardized high quality diagnostics and treatment, independent of the tumour type. The new SIOP RTSG 2016 integrated diagnostic and research UMBRELLA protocol serves as an entry for including all children with a renal tumour in the SIOP-RTSG centers, including prospective biomarker analyses. Subsequently, treatment is recommended according to the SIOP RTSG 2016 UMBRELLA treatment guidelines, which provides treatment strategies for all patients with Wilms tumour (WT) and other renal tumours. Central radiology review (CRR) has been proposed as a novel tool within the diagnostic UMBRELLA protocol in order to optimize the diagnostics and hence the treatment. The definition of metastatic disease in WT remains difficult since pulmonary nodules may not always be of malignant origin. The differential diagnosis of a pulmonary lesion seen in a child with WT is broad. In addition to malignancy, it includes atelectasis, fibrosis, pneumonitis, subpleural lymph nodes, and other infectious or inflammatory lesions. In addition, the issue of "CT-only" nodules in WT and adequate treatment needs to be solved. In previous protocols, the treatment strategy was based on the diagnosis of pulmonary metastases (92% of all metastases) by conventional pulmonary X-ray. Patients with CT-only nodules (= nodules not visible on conventional X-ray) were supposed to be treated as having localized WT. However, retrospective analyses of SIOP series (Smets et al), showed that patients with CT-only nodules had a less favourable prognosis as compared to patients with truly localized disease with a 12% difference in three-year event-free survival. The diagnostics of bilateral renal tumours (stage V) often is complicated since it may be difficult to distinguish true WT from nephroblastomatosis/ nephrogenic rests, a pre malignant renal (multifocal) anomaly, which may respond to preoperative chemotherapy. An optimal multi-disciplinary sequential diagnostic procedure is required in order to propose the best adapted therapeutic approach to preserve sufficient renal tissue.
Patients aged 75 and over represent a heterogeneous population with fragile subjects who have a higher risk of poor tolerance to many tests and especially who have a risk of major functional loss in the event of hospitalization. It is therefore necessary to adapt our prescriptions and not to impose on these patients an examination that is unnecessary. Or on the contrary, not to do without, out of ignorance, a minimally invasive examination that could be useful to these patients. In this study, the investigators wish to evaluate the interest of the Pet-Scan in the therapeutic management of these elderly patients
