This pilot study in Guadeloupe is testing whether an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can find type 2 diabetes in people of African or Indian origin who have normal fasting blood sugar but other risk factors. About 120 adults will take the test and be followed for a year. The g…

This study is looking at a specific gene, PNPLA3, in 600 adults with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. Participants are from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion Island. Researchers want to see how common certain gene variants are and if they are linked to more severe…

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

This study tracks 10 people in Guadeloupe with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease that affects skin and muscles. Researchers want to see how severe the disease is at diagnosis, including muscle weakness, organ problems, and cancer links. No new treatment is being tested —…

This study tests whether a robot-assisted remote ultrasound can measure heart function as accurately as a standard in-person ultrasound. About 50 adults with or at risk for heart failure will get both types of scans. The goal is to see if remote scans can help patients on smaller…

This study measures chlordecone (a pesticide) levels in the blood of 3000 adults in Guadeloupe. It also tests whether a multidisciplinary support program can help reduce those levels. Participants get free blood tests and personalized advice. The goal is to understand contaminati…

This study is testing whether next-generation sequencing can identify the infectious germs causing severe brain (encephalitis) and spinal cord (myelitis) inflammation in 100 patients in Guadeloupe. Many cases currently have no known cause. By analyzing spinal fluid, researchers h…

This study looks at whether chlordecone, a pesticide still present in the environment in Guadeloupe, is linked to fertility problems in women. Researchers will measure a key fertility hormone (AMH) and count egg follicles in 634 women seeking fertility treatment. The goal is to u…

This study is tracking 3000 men with prostate cancer from Guadeloupe and Brittany to understand why the disease progresses differently in different people. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and saliva samples along with health data to look for genetic, environmental, and lif…

This study follows 650 children in Guadeloupe who were exposed to organochlorine pollutants like chlordecone before birth. Researchers will track their cognitive development and puberty timing through tests and blood samples. The goal is to understand if these chemicals affect gr…

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 linked to stomach cancer. By testing tissue and blood samples, they hope to learn more about t…
