This study tested a special bone cement (MCPC) that is similar to natural bone and can be absorbed over time, allowing new bone to grow. It was given to 4 adults aged 18-65 with recent severe spine fractures. The cement was injected during a low-invasive surgery to fill the broke…

This study tested the drug propranolol in infants under 4 months old with capillary hemangiomas (non-dangerous blood vessel growths). The goal was to see if early treatment could shrink the growths. The study was stopped early and only 14 infants took part, so results are limited…

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug avelumab to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) could improve outcomes for people with advanced bladder cancer that had spread. The trial enrolled 65 patients and measured how many responded to treatment and ho…

This early-phase study looked at whether the drug lenalidomide is safe to give after a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma that has come back. It included 13 adults aged 18 to 65 whose cancer had responded to previous treatment. The goal was to see how many people had serio…

This early-stage trial tested whether low doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) could help people with active warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia that did not respond to standard steroids. The goal was to increase a type of regulatory immune cell to control the disease. Only 2 participants …

This study tested a new imaging method to detect inflammation in fatty plaques that cause strokes. It involved 3 men who had a recent stroke and were scheduled for surgery to remove a plaque in their neck artery. The goal was to see if a special PET scan tracer could highlight in…

This study looked at whether eating corn with high levels of zeaxanthin (a natural pigment) could boost the eye's macular pigment, which may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. Nine healthy adults aged 20-35 ate the corn for 10 weeks…

This study tested a nasal spray painkiller (sufentanil) for adults having a sickle cell pain crisis. The goal was to see if it relieved severe pain faster than the standard gas treatment (EMONO), before both groups received morphine. The trial was stopped early, so results are li…

This study aimed to collect and store biological samples (blood, respiratory, stool, urine) from 615 people with or without COVID-19 symptoms, including patients and caregivers at Bordeaux University Hospital. The goal was to build a resource for future research on the virus and …

This study looked at whether MRI scans can detect changes in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis as well as CT scans do. CT scans use radiation, so finding a reliable alternative like MRI could mean safer monitoring over time. The study included 212 patients aged 8 and older…

This study tested special shoe insoles with pressure sensors to see if they can accurately measure walking speed and step patterns in people with CIDP, a nerve condition that causes walking difficulties. Researchers compared the insoles to a standard electronic walkway. The goal …
