This study is testing whether a robot can perform heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms) from a distance as accurately as a standard in-person ultrasound. The goal is to improve access to heart failure care for people living on remote islands in Guadeloupe. About 50 adults with hear…

This study looks at 100 adults in Guadeloupe who have just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Researchers want to find out how many of them also have an H. pylori infection, a bacteria that can raise the risk of stomach cancer. They will test tissue samples from the stomach and …

This study looks at how certain gene variations (PNPLA3) are linked to fatty liver disease (MASLD) in people from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion Island. Researchers will collect blood samples from 600 adults to find out which gene versions are most common and how they rel…

This study looks at whether a specific change in the Corin gene (called I555/P568) makes people of African descent in Guadeloupe more likely to develop high blood pressure. Researchers will compare 370 adults—some with high blood pressure and some without—to see if this gene vari…

This study tests whether an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can find type 2 diabetes in people from Guadeloupe who have risk factors but normal fasting blood sugar. About 120 adults of African or Indian origin will take part. The goal is to see if the OGTT catches cases that s…

This study looks at what makes dermatomyositis more severe in Caribbean patients. Researchers will track 10 adults in Guadeloupe to see how often the disease affects muscles, lungs, heart, or is linked to cancer. The goal is to learn more about this rare autoimmune disease in thi…

This study is following 3000 men with prostate cancer to understand why the disease progresses differently in different people. Researchers are looking at genetics, lifestyle, and medical history to find factors that predict recurrence or spread. The goal is to improve treatment …

This study measures the amount of a pesticide called chlordecone in the blood of 3000 adults living in Guadeloupe. It also tests whether a special support program can help lower these levels. The goal is to understand contamination risks and find ways to reduce exposure.

This study looks at whether exposure to chlordecone, a pesticide still present in the environment, is linked to lower fertility in women. Researchers will measure levels of the chemical in the blood of 634 women seeking fertility treatment in Guadeloupe and compare it to their ov…

This study follows 650 children in Guadeloupe to see if exposure to organochlorine pollutants like chlordecone affects their brain development and puberty. Researchers will test thinking skills and track when physical changes of puberty begin. The goal is to understand risks, not…

This study aims to find the hidden germs that cause serious brain and spinal cord infections in Guadeloupe. Researchers will use advanced genetic sequencing on spinal fluid from 100 patients to identify viruses or bacteria that standard tests miss. The goal is to improve diagnosi…
