Lumbosciatica is a very prevalent pathology. When conservative treatments fail, surgery should be considered. The traditional surgical treatment is lumbar arthrodesis. The vast majority of patients who undergo spinal fusion cannot return to their same job and a good number of the…

The purpose of this study is to determine if DNA vaccination of chronic HBV patients under treatment with NRTI can restore T-cell responsiveness and delay virologic reactivation after treatment discontinuation.

We will integrate multi-modal cardiac data via an AI multitask framework to develop and validate concurrent models for liver function, treatment prognosis, and microvascular invasion (MVI) prediction in hepatocellular carcinoma. The resulting tool will be prospectively deployed t…

In vitro studies have shown that imatinib 1mM inhibits strongly the growth of cutaneous fibroblasts. The hypothesis is that imatinib inhibits PDGFR which is known to be a potential target for the molecule, as recently also proposed after the discovery of autoantibodies activating…

This is a phase III multi-centre study in two periods: the first period is a phosphate binder and lipid lowering drugs washout for 8 weeks, the second period is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group, fixed dose, for 12 weeks.

Corneal Cross Linking is new treatment modality for patients with keratoconus. A keratoconus is characterized by progressive bulging and thinning of the eye's cornea. Keratoconus is a potentially severely sight impairing condition that may necessitate corneal transplantation in t…

Background: Family members (spouses, siblings, offspring) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) may themselves be at increased risk for developing CHD for genetic, biochemical and/or behavioural reasons. Targeted approaches aimed at family members of those with establishe…

This clinical trial studies widefield fluorescence and reflectance imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, and tissue samples in regularly examining (monitoring) participants at risk for developing oral cancer. All tissue and cells are made of tiny particles. Some of these particles …

This study aims to look at the safety and tolerability of immunization with dendritic cell vaccine prepared using the patient's own cells and virus. It also aims to explore the virologic efficacy of the vaccine as determined by a decrease in the viral load 12 weeks after analytic…

RATIONALE: It is not yet known which regimen of enteral nutrition is more effective in preventing infections in patients undergoing surgery for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing three nutrition regimens in treating pat…

To determine safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of intraglandular injections of MYOBLOC for the treatment of sialorrhea in Parkinsons' Disease patients

In HIV infected patients, individuals exposed to the virus of Hepatitis B are more susceptible to develop a chronic and severe liver disease with a major risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, the existing protocol of vaccination against Hepatitis B is less efficient in HI…

This is an open, non-randomized, phase I-II, pilot study, which evaluates the combination of optimum cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with mitomycin C (MMC) and irinotecan. The latter drug will be administered in escalating dos…

Evaluation after 4 weeks of treatment or at end of treatment if it occurs before. Efficacy will be defined as objective responses; complete and partial response.

Single agent anti-VEGF therapies such as ranibizumab have shown great promise and have set the standard for visual outcomes in treating wet macular degeneration. However, they need to be administered frequently by intraocular injections with the attendant risk of endophthalmitis,…

This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib works with carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating participants with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as sorafenib, carboplatin, and …

The purpose of this study is to determine if reducing or eliminating radiation treatment to one or both sides of the neck where there is no evidence of cancer can help spare the side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. In this study, the investigators plan to…

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if RAD001 can help to control the disease in patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM). The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a monotherapy of boosted darunavir is able to maintain the virological success until 48 weeks in comparison to a standard therapy 2 INTI + darunavir/r in HIV infected patients with full viral suppression.

Donor mobilization : Donor will be mobilized with G-CSF (Granocyte) sub-cutaneous 10 µg/kg/day during 5 to 6 days. Hematopoïetic Stem Cell Harvest: By 1, 2, or 3 aphaeresis, a number of 4 x 106 cellules CD34+ /kg is required. If the CD34+ \>= 2 and \<= 4x106/kg: the center mus…
