Endovascular treatment of superficial femoral artery stenosis/obstruction is still the subject of debate in the scientific literature. Previous clinical studies have in fact reported conflicting data regarding the benefits of implanting self-expanding Nitinol stents in the super…

(1) To determine how the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), fluoxetine (Prozac), an antidepressant often used to treat depression, stimulates the participant's body's ability to defend against low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). (2) To learn how a hormone, dehydroepiandro…

the main objectives are 1. to study the pathophysiological role of KIR3DL2 in axSpA and its relationship with Th17 immunity in HLA-B27 + and HLA-B27- patients and 2. to assess the effect on the pro-inflammatory immune response of a cytotoxic monoclonal antibody IPH4102 (anti-KIR…

This pilot clinical trial studies the effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy followed by surgery in treating patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a method of radiation that uses imaging to precisely locate a tumor a…

The investigators anticipate a reduced risk of post-operational de novo stress urinary incontinence following surgery for vaginal sacrospinofixation, associated with reduced costs, comparable functional and anatomical efficacy and no increase in morbidity and rate of dyspareunia …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease, which mainly targets joints and results in osteoarticular destruction and serious disability. When clinical symptoms (painful and swollen joints) occur, the innate and adaptive immune responses against self antigens have already be…

The study will examine the mechanisms linking race, stress and biobehavioral factors to energy balance and obesity in both natural and controlled environments in African-American and Caucasian adolescent females. A Hispanic/Latina cohort has recently been added with permission fo…

Given the lack of knowledge on lipodystrophies, the medical and social responsibility for the persons affected by it calls for the monitoring of the progression over long periods of time. Sensible clinical and basic research into rare diseases such as lipodystrophy is only possib…

The aim of this study is to determine if the use of a modular dual mobility bearing is associated with clinically important increases in serum metal levels.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of cervical dilators for cervical ripening in case of second trimester medical termination of pregnancy (TOP) is effective to reduce duration of labor.

The identification of a high atropine load of treatment received during hospitalization as a predictor of postoperative confusion could have various benefits: * Pharmacoepidemiological: identify factors associated with postoperative confusion * Clinics: by favoring treatments wi…

Modifications of cell surface markers (including EMMPRIN) were observed in conjunctival epithelial cells during dry eye syndrome ; this study aims to describe the modifications of the repartition of these cell surface markers before and after initiation of a treatment.

First-degree relatives of patients with melanoma have a greater risk of developing melanoma. Patients are advised orally to inform their first-degree relatives that they should protect their skin from UV radiation and ask for a skin examination from a general practitioner or derm…

The object of this new project is to proceed with investigations with the employees of the cohort for the first study so as to obtain a remote evolution (5 years) of their respiratory function while measuring their nanoparticle exposure. This will enable us to assess the possible…

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center Phase II trial of entinostat given as a 5 mg oral dose every week (days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 4-week cycle) in patients with relapsed or refractory abdominal neuroendocrine (NE) tumors. Patients will continue on treatment until dise…

The purpose of this study is to compare mechanical ventilation following advice from the Beacon Caresystem to that of routine care in patients from the state of requiring invasive mechanical ventilation until successful extubation. The Beacon Caresystem will be compared to routin…

This is a pilot study of neoadjuvant 'immunoradiation' (durvalumab or durvalumab plus tremelimumab) administered every 4 weeks for 2 doses, concurrently with standard thoracic radiation (RT) (45Gy in 25 fractions), with one dose of immunotherapy alone delivered in the pre-surgica…

Adolescence is a time of biological and behavioral changes that can lead to risky and dangerous behaviors, and African-American youth are highly vulnerable to the consequences of risky behavior, including HIV/AIDS and violence, leading to premature death. The investigators previo…

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) constitutes a major public health burden. The incidence of PAD increases with age and is associated with other comorbid cardiovascular disorders. Atherosclerosis which underlies PAD is associated with increased arterial stiffness and an enhanced …

The aim of the study is to describe an immune activation profile of people at risk of insulin resistance based on a wide range of markers which will allow easy identification of patients at risk.
