This study compares two ways to drain urine in men with blocked bladders before prostate surgery: self-catheterization (done by the patient several times a day) versus a permanent tube. The goal is to see if self-catheterization leads to fewer infections. About 106 men over 50 wi…

This study tests imlifidase, a drug that temporarily disables the immune system's antibodies, allowing highly sensitized patients to receive a kidney from a deceased donor they would otherwise reject. The trial will follow 450 patients in France to see how many get transplanted a…

This study looks at 60 people with acute myeloid leukemia to see if a computer method (FlowSOM) can detect leftover cancer cells as well as expert analysis. Researchers will compare results from both methods using stored blood samples. If the computer approach works, it could mak…

This study looks at newborn boys with posterior urethral valves (PUV), a rare birth defect that raises the risk of serious kidney infections. It compares circumcision alone versus circumcision plus daily antibiotics to see if the surgery alone is enough to prevent these infection…

This trial tests whether having general practitioners (GPs) proactively give colorectal cancer screening kits to eligible patients (ages 50-74) increases screening rates compared to the usual practice of sending an invitation letter. Over 26,000 participants will be involved. The…

This study looks at children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who also have certain antibodies, as they are at higher risk of developing lupus. Researchers will analyze blood samples to track immune cell changes and markers that may signal the transition to lupus. The g…

This study will test whether using ultrasound to guide how a patient's head is tilted can improve blood flow to the brain. Researchers will measure brain pressure and blood flow in 30 ICU patients as they are moved from lying flat to a 30-degree angle. The goal is to find a perso…

This study will take 3D scans of the inside of the mouth from 240 people with rare bone or cartilage diseases and from healthy volunteers. Researchers will use shape analysis and artificial intelligence to see if these scans can help tell different diseases apart. The goal is to …

This study will test two advanced DNA sequencing methods—long-read sequencing and optical genome mapping—to find hidden genetic causes of neurogenetic diseases. Researchers will analyze skin biopsy samples from 304 people aged 6 to 60 who have or may have these conditions. The go…

This observational study will follow 50 adults and children who are starting long-term parenteral nutrition (IV nutrition) to measure the buildup of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in their skin. AGEs are harmful compounds that form when sugar binds with proteins, and they…

This study will compare the quality of pre-anesthesia consultations done by video call versus in-person for pregnant women. 250 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to see if the video consultation misses any important safety informat…

This study will collect tumor samples and medical data from 150 adults with non-small cell lung cancer (stages I to IV) at Bordeaux University Hospital. Researchers will analyze the molecular, metabolic, and immune features of the tumors to understand how the cancer progresses an…

This study will create a digital twin of the heart for 1,000 people who have had a heart attack. The goal is to see if this computer model can better predict who is at risk for sudden cardiac death compared to the current standard method. Participants will undergo a cardiac CT sc…

This study tests whether a one-on-one nursing education session just before a stroke patient goes home can improve how well they follow their medication and care plan. Researchers will enroll 300 stroke survivors who are returning home and randomly assign half to receive the extr…

This study aims to develop a new EEG-based technique to detect 'cognitive-motor dissociation'—where a patient is aware but cannot move. Researchers will stimulate the median nerve (in the wrist) and analyze brain signals in 50 comatose ICU patients. The goal is to identify those …

This study tests a new DNA sequencing method that reads long stretches of DNA to find hidden genetic changes causing rare diseases like albinism and intellectual disability. Researchers will analyze stored blood or DNA from 150 patients who haven't gotten a clear diagnosis yet. T…

This study examines how much the tensor fascia latae muscle is damaged during hip replacement surgery through the front approach. Researchers will compare the amount of muscle damage to how well patients recover at 6 weeks and 6 months. The goal is to understand if less muscle da…

This study looks at stored liver biopsy samples from 30 people with MASH (a fatty liver disease) to see if a protein test can predict who will develop liver cancer within 15 years. Half of the participants later got liver cancer, and half did not. Researchers will compare the pro…

This study follows 4200 mothers and their children for 5 years to see if inducing labor at 39 weeks (instead of waiting for natural labor) affects the child's brain development. Researchers will assess thinking, language, movement, and behavior skills. The goal is to help pregnan…

This study aims to find out how often a rare genetic condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) occurs in people who develop liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) but do not have cirrhosis or other known causes like hepatitis or heavy drinking. Researchers will look…

This study looks at whether young people (ages 8–25) with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) have lower aerobic fitness than healthy peers. Fatigue is a major problem for many with ITP, and the researchers want to see if it's linked to a 'vicious cycle' of being less a…

This study looks back at 400 adults in France who had a rare but serious blood vessel infection caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii. The goal is to learn why some patients die within two years and how to diagnose the infection faster. Researchers will review medical records …

This study will test a new, non-invasive ultrasound technique that captures brain blood flow in real time for infants with congenital heart disease. Researchers aim to understand how medical treatments and surgeries affect the brain, potentially explaining why some children later…

This study looks back at 300 cases of fungal infections in vascular grafts from 12 French hospitals over 10 years. Researchers want to understand how these infections are treated and what affects patient survival. The goal is to find factors that lead to better outcomes for this …

This study looks at why some people with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) develop complications not caused by infections. Researchers will test whether a type of immune cell called peripheral helper T-cells (Tph) helps faulty B-cells produce antibodies that lead to these c…

This study looks at how social and psychological factors, like beliefs and emotions, relate to spine posture in 150 adults with healthy spines. Participants fill out questionnaires and have a special X-ray to measure their spine alignment. The goal is to understand these connecti…

This study looks at why people with Noonan syndrome often bleed easily, especially from the skin, mouth, or nose. Researchers will compare a simple questionnaire about bleeding history with blood tests in 100 patients. The goal is to find better ways to predict serious bleeding, …

This study will analyze blood and tumor samples from 45 adults with glioblastoma to understand why this aggressive brain cancer recurs. Researchers will look at molecular, immune, and metabolic changes in tumors from both new and recurrent cases. The goal is to find new targets f…
