Clinical trials

The objective of this project is to evaluate, over a 12-month period, the feasibility of integrating a digital tool into the follow-up care of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who have been off treatment for up to 2 years. Feasibility will be assessed based on the usage rate, defined as the proportion of patients who accessed the digital tool at least: * once a month, if treatment discontinuation was ≤ 6 months; * once a quarter, if treatment discontinuation was \> 6 months. The usage rate will be assessed and compared to a threshold of 60%; if the rate falls below this threshold, feasibility will be considered insufficient.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a common life-threatening neurological emergency in which prolonged or multiple closely spaced seizures can result in long-term impairments. SE remains associated with considerable mortality and morbidity, with little progress over the last three decades. The proportion of patients who die in the hospital is about 20% overall and 40% in patients with refractory SE. Morbidity is more difficult to evaluate, as adverse effects of SE are often difficult to differentiate from those attributed to the cause of SE. Our experience suggests that nearly 50% of patients may experience long-term functional impairments. The precise description of the consequences of these functional impairments and their impact on quality of life after SE requiring intensive care management has been little studied. Indeed, if cognitive, physical and mental impairments are now identified in the populations of patients who required intensive care under the term postresuscitation syndrome (PICS), neuronal lesions consecutive to the SE itselfor to its cause could be responsible for these different functional alterations. Thus, the following have been described: (i) cognitive disorders in the areas of attention, executive functions and verbal fluency, visual and working memory disorders, but also spatio-temporal disorders; (ii) physical disorders such as the so-called post-resuscitation polyneuromyopathy; and (iii) mental disorders such as anxiety disorders, depressive states or those related to post-traumatic stress. Assessment and characterization of patient-reported outcomes is essential to complement the holistic assessment of clinically relevant outcomes from the patient's perspective. The POSEIDON study was a cross-sectional collection of PROs and HR-QOL components, and associated with patient functional outcomes, in those who required ICU management for status epilepticus. We propose here to continue the description of potential alterations after a subsequent ME, namely a longitudinal study (POSEIDON 2) which will also include the evaluation of patient-reported experience (PREMS) and the measurement of family burden.

An observatory for patients aged 18 years and over with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+ or BCR::ABL1) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and treated with the combination of BCR::ABL1 inhibitors and chemotherapy and/or corticosteroids and/or a monoclonal antibody.

Single-center study, prospective, phase II trial. The study objectives are : * To assess safety and pharmacokinetics of the combination of PIO and TKI in CML subjects who experience a loss of MMR following a first TKI discontinuation. * To assess survival without loss of MMR over a 12 months period following a second TKI discontinuation in subjects who achieve or maintain \< MR4.5 with the combination PIO and TKI administered for at least 6 months.

Many patients are considering the use of so-called "hypnosis" treatments in the field of addictions. However, these techniques lack sufficient levels of evidence with regard to the standards required by Evidence-Based Medicine. In other domains, however, hypnosis has demonstrated an interesting level of evidence, particularly in pain management. The investigators will focus on the "Techniques for Activating Consciousness" (TAC), which represent an optimized therapeutic approach derived from hypnotic therapy.

The combination of amoxicillin-clavulanate (AC) and a fluoroquinolone (FQ) is currently recommended for the treatment for outpatients with hematologic malignancies presenting with chemotherapy-induced fever (CIF), if the expected duration of neutropenia is \< 7 days. However, infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (naturally resistant to AC) are rare in this population. Furthermore, FQ might result in severe adverse events, and to the selection of bacterial resistance. The investigators hypothesize that monotherapy with AC is non-inferior to the reference treatment AC + FQ in the outpatient treatment of CIF in adult hematology patients. Method: Pragmatic, multicentre, randomized clinical trial, controlled in two parallel groups, with stratified randomization according to the type of haematological disorder. The study will include 1,526 adult patients with one of the following haematological disorders: (1) lymphoma of all histology types treated with the goal of remission; (2) myelodysplasia treated with azacytidine; (3) acute myeloblastic leukemia receiving non-intensive care, with a basal neutrophils count \> 1000/mm3. The participants will be randomized prior to chemotherapy to receive either Amoxicillin-clavulanate 1g/152 mg tid. (AC) or Amoxicillin-clavulanate 1g/152 mg tid. and Ciprofloxacin 500 mg bid. (AC+C) orally for 7 days, to be taken in case of CIF. Only the first episode of CIF of each patient will be included in the analysis. The main evaluation criterion will be clinical success, defined as apyrexia 4 days after the first antibiotic dose, without modification of antibiotic treatment. The main secondary evaluation criteria (recorded at Day 14) will be fever recurrence, hospital admission, modification of antibiotic treatment, treatment with a beta-lactamine antibiotic efficient against P. aeruginosa, duration of antibiotic treatment, bacteraemia, inefficiency of the study treatment against the identified bacteria, and adverse events of FQ.

Evaluation of clinical results and postoperative laxity after single-stage reconstruction of multiligamentous lesions of the knee. Comparison of two types of transplant: allograft versus autograft. There is currently little data in the clinical outcome literature after allograft reconstruction. There is one study reporting postoperative laxity assessed by dynamic radiography in the four planes (anterior, posterior, varus, valgus). No study compares postoperative laxity after allograft versus autograft reconstruction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results and MRI imaging of autologous cartilage reconstructions or collagen matrix of the knee. There is currently little data in the literature on clinical outcomes and imaging of this type of lesion.

The HYBERNATUS-II study is a phase-III, open-label, randomized controlled trial in patients with convulsive refractory SE receiving mechanical ventilation. Patients are allocated at random to either early targeted hypothermia for 24 hours or targeted normothermia at the acute phase of ICU management. This trial is a superiority multicentric trial and patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio using an electronic Cas Report Form. Before any examination or intervention related to the study may be carried out, the investigator must obtain the freely given, informed and written consent of the participant, or of his/her substitute decision maker (family member, close relative or legal representative) where applicable. However, eligible subjects are unconscious and inherently not able to consent. Two situations of inclusion are therefore envisaged: \- In case a substitute decision maker is present or contactable: a freely given, informed and written consent of the substitute decision maker will be performed. \- In case a substitute decision maker is not present or contactable in the inclusion time frame, the patient may be included through a process of differed consent. Substitute decision maker will be informed as soon as possible and a freely given, informed and written pursuit consent will be performed. In all cases, the patient will have to confirm his participation to the study through a freely given, informed and written pursuit consent as soon as their condition allows it. If the patient is under curatorship, the pursuit consent may be given based on his or her own decision. If the patient is under guardianship, the written guardian's consent will also be required. Individuals liable to participate in studies stipulated in line 1° of article L. 1121-1 of the Code de la Santé Publique (French Public Health Code) benefit from a preliminary medical examination adapted to the study. Patients will be included after informed consent as soon as possible once they satisfied all eligibility criteria. The inclusion window is until 3.5 hours (210 minutes) after convulsive SE onset. Consecutive eligible patients will be included and randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two procedure groups. Randomization and concealment will be ensured by using a secure, computer-generated, interactive, response system accessible via the Internet available at each study centre 24H/24. Randomization list will be prepared by an independent statistician who will not be in charge of the analysis. Randomization lists will be generated by a dedicated computer program, with randomly varying sized blocks, and stratified as follows: according to sites, previous history of epilepsy \[yes or not\], and results of brain imaging \[Abnormal Brain Imaging or not\]. Each investigator will be able to access the randomization site using a personal password. Randomization will be carried out after checking of the inclusion criteria and the absence of exclusion criteria and after obtaining a written and informed consent or according to the emergency procedure by the principal investigator or a physician representing the investigator before the person is enrolled in the study of each centre involved in the study. Each patient will be assigned a unique identification number. An inclusion confirmation will be sent by email to the investigator specifying the allocated procedure arm. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of the two study procedure groups. The two groups will differ only in the administration of early targeted hypothermia for 24 hours or targeted normothermia at the acute phase of ICU management. All other treatment will be standardized in the two groups. Targeted Hypothermia group : Implementation of allocation arm is started within 30 min after randomization.The objective is to lower the core body temperature to 33°C \[32-34°C\] rapidly after randomization then to maintain this temperature for 24 hours. The management in the targeted hypothermia group will include the following. Targeted normothermia group. Implementation of allocation arm is started within 30 min after randomization. The objective of the control group is to ensure normothermia 37° \[36.5-37.5°C\] for 72 hours after randomization. Antipyretic treatments will be given in case of a core temperature higher than 37.8°C. In case of failure, cooling with a surface non-invasive loop-feedback TTM device associating pads directly adhering to the patient's skin (Artic Sun TM provided by the study, similar in all participating centers) will be initiated with a target temperature of 37° \[36.5-37.5°C\]. No active warming will be provided for patients in the normothermia group who had a spontaneous body temperature below 36.5°C. Patients included in the study will be followed until the 90th day after inclusion. The duration of the participation will therefore be 3 months for each patient.

COPD is one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and health care utilisation worldwide. Currently, COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is therefore a major public health problem. Projections show an increase in the prevalence and burden of COPD in the coming decades due to ageing populations and continued exposure to risk factors. In patients with COPD, mortality due to exacerbations is about 35%. Exacerbations represent the most important respiratory event in the history of this chronic disease and are of major socio-economic interest (about 50-75% of healthcare expenditure in this disease). In the most severe cases, COPD exacerbations lead to respiratory distress with hypercapnic ventilatory acidosis requiring ventilatory support. These most severe episodes are common, accounting for 20% of exacerbations and are a signal of advanced disease, with a high risk of future hospitalisations and a limited long-term prognosis. Despite progress in management, the mortality of these severe acute exacerbations is around 15% in the ICU and 20% in hospital. The long-term prognosis following hospitalisation for an acute exacerbation of COPD is poor with a 5-year mortality of around 50%. On the one hand, the means and treatments likely to improve the prognosis of these patients are of great medical and socio-economic interest, on the other hand, it seems important to identify the elements that may be associated with management failure and to treat them where appropriate. Thus, improving scientific knowledge thanks to prospective data, evaluating the different characteristics and prognosis of patients hospitalised for a severe acute exacerbation of COPD seems, in the 21st century, a major axis in order to continue to optimise the individual management of these patients but also collectively, given the COPD public health burden.
