Filter by:The investigator will study the possibility of in situ heating of the liquid containing the chemotherapy, so as to avoid the need for an external pumping system with its complexity, and its associated risks and costs. The use of a heating cable (prototype hereinafter called Thermowire, made by the company EFS, which is in charge of its development) was patented and tested in pigs in two studies that included 15 animals altogether (in 7 of which the heating cable was used). The aim of the first study was the purely safety aspects, while the efficacy to obtain hyperthermia, the quality and the homogeneity of the hyperthermia and its effect on the tissue penetration of the chemotherapy were evaluated in a second study. The results obtained justify transfer to use in humans in the context of a clinical trial so as to obtain CE certification.
This research trial studies the shotgun sequencing of blood samples in diagnosing febrile neutropenia in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the laboratory may help identify pathogens and accurately diagnose infections such as febrile neutropenia.
The efficacy of HIPEC in prevention of local recurrence, distant metastasis or peritoneal metastasis in locally advanced colorectal cancer is not definite. The hypothesis of the trial is that radical colorectal resection plus HIPEC is superior to only radical colorectal resection in terms of overall survival.
Annually about 10 to 15 million international travelers from Europe visit tropical countries. Returning from a journey, fever is the cardinal symptom of many infections. This is the second reason for consultation (23%) for return from a trip, after digestive disorders (42%). Urgent evaluation must always be proposed. Although that may be the manifestation of a benign disease, fever of return can also presage a rapidly progressive and lethal disease. In 50% of cases, patients return home, after treatment and disappearance of symptoms, though the microorganism responsible for the pathology is not able to be identified. The prescription of a series of systematic biological examinations in the form of a diagnostic kit has shown its relevance and its effectiveness in improving the etiological diagnosis of endocarditis and pericardites for optimal support. In this study we propose to assess the effectiveness of the systematic prescription of a diagnostic kit 'fever of the traveler' to all patients hospitalized with a fever after returning from a trip. "Ready to use" kit brings together in a single bag (i) instructions for use, (ii) the tubes, bottles and jars for the etiological diagnosis of fever of the traveler in the usual support (iii) an additional blood tube for research of pathogens emerging. Primary: To assess the effectiveness of a diagnostic kit for the etiological diagnosis of fevers of travelers on the return. Hypothesis: Improvement of at least 15% of the etiological diagnosis of fevers of travelers on the return through the development of a diagnostic kit.
Primary objectives: - To assess how dengue vaccine efficacy varies across participant subgroups regarding polymorphism in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles of interest. - To assess the association between HLA alleles and, serotype-specific neutralization antibody titers and summary neutralization measure in the vaccine and placebo groups. - To assess the association between the polymorphism in HLA alleles of interest and susceptibility to Dengue fever and Dengue Haemorrhagic fever. Secondary objectives: - To assess whether dengue serotype-specific neutralizing antibody titers and associated summary neutralization measure at 28 days post-dose 3 are related to the rate of occurrence of symptomatic Virologically-confirmed dengue infection after post-dose 3 - To evaluate whether the dengue serotype-specific neutralizing antibody and associated summary neutralization measure at 28 days post-dose 3 are related to the level of vaccine efficacy against dengue viruses after post-dose 3.
The aim of the study was to assess and describe the booster effect of a tetravalent CYD dengue vaccine dose administered about 5 years or more after the completion of a 3-dose vaccination schedule in Singapore. Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of geometric mean of titer ratios (GMTRs) of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD28 trial (participants from Group 1 only). Secondary Objectives: - If the primary objective of non-inferiority achieved: To demonstrate the superiority, in terms of GMTRs, of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD28 trial (participants from Group 1 only). - To describe the immune responses elicited by the CYD dengue vaccine booster or placebo injection in participants who received three doses of the CYD dengue vaccine in the CYD28 trial in all participants. - To describe the neutralizing antibody levels of each dengue serotype Post Dose 3 (CYD28 participants) and immediately prior to booster or placebo injection in all participants. - To describe the neutralizing antibody persistence 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post booster or placebo injection in all study participants. - To evaluate the safety of booster vaccination with CYD dengue vaccine in all participants.
The IHU Mediterranean infection is national reference centre for Q fever. Coxiella burnetii is the bacteria responsible of this infection. The bacterium Coxiella burnetii infection is associated with secretion by the body both many antibodies against the bacteria but also against certain cells of the body (autoantibodies). These autoantibodies may have no effect or be associated with specific symptoms. Anti-Phospholipid antibodies are especially prevalent in the Q fever. Apart from this infection, they are associated with thrombocytopenia, obstetric complications, thrombosis and heart valve damage. These conditions have also been described as complications during Q fever. In a retrospective preliminary work on Q fever, we have shown that the presence of high levels of IgG anti-cardiolipin was associated with the presence of valvular and the evolution to endocarditis. Such associations have a therapeutic involvement and must therefore be confirmed. Indeed, if these associations were confirmed, a trans-esophageal ultrasound could be systematically proposed to patients with valvular disease of trans-thoracique ultrasound but IgG anticardiolipin high levels. Other special attention could be given to patients with high autoantibodies.
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) and biologic inflammatory syndrome of unknown origin (SII) are two frequent causes of hospitalization or consultation in infectious disease unit and internal medicine. There are many etiologies, in four categories: infections, auto-immune disease, cancer and miscellaneous causes. Currently there is no specifics recommendations to follow a "diagnosis way" of FUO and SII. Purpose: Evaluation of clinical practices in the diagnosis of fever and biologic inflammatory syndrome of unknown origin, in two units of the University Grenoble Hospital.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether azithromycin or cotrimoxazole is the best empirical treatment for undifferentiated febrile illness in Nepal
This study is an observational cohort study of hospitalized patients with fever. This study will collect demographic data, history of illness, signs and symptoms, results of laboratory tests, clinical course, treatment and outcome. This study conducted at eight INA-RESPOND hospitals. Potential study patients will be any patients (both children and adults).
