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.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the 10 year performances of Mpact cup in total hip arthroplasty.
Left ventricular remodeling is a common complication in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI ) and may lead to heart failure. Hemodynamic, metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms are involved in this pathophysiological process. Recent data demonstrated that remote, noninfarct-related region of the myocardium is also implicated. There is no data about the assessment of coronary endothelial function or myocardial fibrosis in the remote zone in patients with STEMI . The correlation between these parameters and left ventricular remodeling is not known.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a higher prevalence of infections, malignancies, osteoporotic fractures and cardiovascular diseases. Few data are available regarding the prevalence and severity of these comorbidities in elderly RA patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of age on prevalence and severity of comorbidities in RA.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes experience a more severe disease course compared to control patients with osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes
Uterus transplantation may enable women with uterine factor infertility to become pregnant and give birth. This study will explore the feasibility of a uterine transplant and eight subjects will undergo deceased donor uterine transplantation at CHU de Limoges. There phases involved in this study: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Screening, Medical Evaluation, IVF, Transplantation, Embryo Transfer, Pregnancy/Delivery and Follow up.
Currently, no adjuvant study with hepatic arterial infusion in the adjuvant setting is opened. Recently, the results of a phase II study (NCT00268463, NSABP-C-09) assessing the potential benefit of systemic oxaliplatin and capecitabine alternating with HAI of FUDR, after resection of CRLM have been reported. The primary end point was 2-year survival. Fifty-five of 76 eligible patients were able to initiate protocol-directed therapy and completed median of six cycles (range, one to six). Three postoperative or treatment-related deaths were reported. Overall, 88% of evaluable patients were alive at 2 years. With a median followup of 4.8 years, a total of 30 patients have had disease recurrence, 11 involving the liver. Median disease-free survival was 32.7 months. In conclusion alternating HAI of FUDR and systemic capecitabine and oxaliplatin met the prespecified end point of higher than 85% survival at 2 years and were clinically tolerable.
Uveitis is a leading cause of blindness in the children and young adult's populations. One third of etiology are idiopathic. The reference treatments are corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. They have significant side effects, and patient's compliance is often poor. In addition, some uveitis are more resistant. Also, in these situations of deadlock therapeutic, investigators propose a cell therapy by administering regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the vitreous of patients.
The benefit of dose escalation in radiotherapy (RT) for biochemical control of prostate cancer is a clearly established fact based on the results of different published prospective trials. This benefit, acquired with three-dimensional conformal radiation technique is counterbalanced by an increase in urinary and gastrointestinal toxicity. The joint progress of dose planning systems and multileaf collimators (MLC) technology have enabled the Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Recently the contribution of "spacers" positioned in the septum between the rectum and the prostate could improve the functional results of IMRT in terms of rectal toxicity. The aim of the investigators study is to assess the dosimetric gain from the contribution of the implantable BioProtect balloon on organs at risk.
MES-HT is a pilot multicenter prospective study conducted in transplant patients who developed severe coronary vasculopathy. A preparation of autologous mesenchymal cells of bone marrow is administered by endomyocardial injection, guided by the Noga® cardiac mapping system. The main objective is to determine the effect of the administration of autologous mesenchymal cells of the bone marrow by intramyocardial injection on myocardial perfusion in cardiac transplant patients with severe coronary vasculopathy.
Non invasive methods are the only available methods to stage liver fibrosis during pregnancy. The safety of elastometry - ultrasound based - is obvious, as medical supervision of pregnancy is based on ultrasonography, both methods using same wavelengths. Therefore, this method is sometimes used in pregnant women with recent diagnosis of chronic viral hepatitis infection, whereas its validity in pregnant women has never been studied. This lack of data justifies our study.
