This study follows 115 adults with multiple sclerosis who are switching from ocrelizumab to ofatumumab because their antibody levels dropped. Researchers want to see if the switch stops or slows that decline over 24 months. The goal is to better manage immune health while still t…

This study tests whether freezing precancerous skin spots (cryotherapy) followed by a medicated ointment (tirbanibulin) works better than freezing alone for actinic keratosis on the scalp and forehead. About 59 adults with at least 8 spots will receive the combo treatment or a pl…

This study looks at whether a single session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce brain damage in people who survive a hanging attempt. Researchers will compare standard intensive care alone versus standard care plus one oxygen treatment. The goal is to see if this approach lo…

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding benralizumab (a drug already used for asthma) to standard corticosteroid treatment can help people with DRESS syndrome recover faster and spend fewer days in the hospital. DRESS is a rare, severe allergic reaction to certain medications tha…

This phase 3 trial will compare two surgical techniques for esophageal cancer: totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) using only keyhole incisions, versus a hybrid approach that combines keyhole and open chest surgery. The study aims to see if TMIE reduces severe complic…

This study looks at whether it is safe to avoid antibiotics before bladder Botox injections in people with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury who have bacteria in their urine but no symptoms. About 526 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics or …

This study tests whether a computer model can find signs of a heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis in bone scans that were done for other reasons. Researchers will look back at 57 patients' scans to see if the model can correctly identify those with the disease. If it works…

This study looks at whether a blood gas measurement (the difference in carbon dioxide between central venous and arterial blood) can accurately diagnose low cardiac output in patients with septic shock from severe skin infections. About 74 adults will be monitored during hyperbar…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (18FET) can find small pituitary tumors that standard MRI scans miss. About 30 adults with suspected hormone-secreting pituitary tumors will receive the scan. If it works, it could help doctors decide on surgery or radiation without nee…

This study tests whether using two automated devices together—one that drains fluids from above the breathing tube and another that monitors the tube's cuff pressure—can reduce the amount of fluid entering the lungs of critically ill patients on ventilators. The goal is to preven…

This study tests whether giving financial rewards to pregnant women who smoke—and to their smoking partners—helps them quit. About 180 pregnant women and their partners will be split into three groups: one where only the woman gets money for quitting, one where both get money, an…

This trial tests whether adding a structured yoga therapy program to standard surgery for endometriosis can reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life. About 188 women scheduled for endometriosis surgery will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus 32 guided…

This study compares two ways to manage pain after minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer: a paravertebral catheter versus the standard epidural. The goal is to see if the paravertebral approach provides similar or better recovery quality by day three. About 506 adults h…

This study aims to find out how often people with FLNA gene mutations develop emphysema, a type of lung disease. Researchers will use chest CT scans, blood tests, and lung function tests in 70 participants. The goal is to confirm if FLNA changes are a cause of unexplained emphyse…

This study tests a new device called TOCONAUTE that records fetal and maternal heart rates during labor. Researchers will analyze the recordings to see if a new measure called the Fetal Stress Index can predict acidosis, a condition that can lead to brain damage in newborns. The …

This study will collect data from over 13,000 children admitted to 14 French pediatric intensive care units. Researchers want to validate two existing severity scores (PIM3 and PRISM IV) and create a model that predicts both survival and cost of care. The goal is to help ICUs mea…

This study will check if doing two blood tests instead of one can better detect congenital hypothyroidism in premature babies born before 32 weeks. Researchers will follow 1,600 newborns in France, testing them within 15 days of birth and again at 2 years if needed. The goal is t…

This study will follow 400 transgender people over five years to see how different types of care—like hormone therapy, surgery, and mental health support—affect their quality of life. Researchers want to find out which care approaches work best. The goal is to improve and standar…

This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, after they have surgery and chemotherapy. Researchers will take blood samples over six months to measure immune cells and signals. The goal is to understand the body's immun…

This study tests whether using a smartphone app to monitor chronic wounds at home can reduce the number of in-person doctor visits. One hundred adults with a single chronic wound (like a diabetic foot ulcer or pressure sore) will be split into two groups: one using the app with a…

This study looks at whether doing broad gene testing early, instead of later, helps find more effective treatments for people with advanced pancreatic, liver, or triple-negative breast cancer. About 360 adults with poor-prognosis cancers will be randomly assigned to early or stan…

This study looks at whether training general practitioners to better monitor and manage kidney health can slow the loss of kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes. About 360 patients aged 50 and older with early kidney problems will take part. Doctors in the intervention g…
