This study checks if an oral glucose tolerance test (drinking a sugary drink) 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 current st…

This study aims to understand why prostate cancer grows and spreads differently in different people. Researchers will follow 3000 men with prostate cancer from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Brittany, tracking their genetics, lifestyle, and health over time. The goal is to identify …

This study aims to find out how often the bacteria H. pylori is present in people newly diagnosed with stomach cancer in Guadeloupe. Researchers will test tissue and blood samples from 100 patients to see if this infection is linked to the higher rates of stomach cancer seen ther…

This study looks at whether chlordecone, a pesticide still present in the environment in Guadeloupe, is linked to lower fertility in women. Researchers will measure levels of the chemical in 634 women seeking help for infertility and check their ovarian reserve using a hormone te…

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

This study follows 650 children in Guadeloupe, born to mothers in the TIMOUN cohort, to see if exposure to organochlorine pollutants like chlordecone affects their cognitive development and puberty. Researchers will test thinking skills and track when physical changes of puberty …

This study looks at how severe dermatomyositis is in people from the Caribbean, especially in Guadeloupe. Researchers will track 10 patients to see how often the disease affects muscles, organs like the lungs and heart, or is linked to cancer. The goal is to learn more about the …

This study aims to find the germs that cause serious brain and spinal cord infections in Guadeloupe. Many times, standard tests cannot identify the cause. Researchers will use advanced DNA sequencing on spinal fluid from 100 patients to detect hidden or new pathogens. The goal is…

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 is testing whether a robot-assisted remote heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) can be as accurate as a standard in-person ultrasound for people with heart failure. About 50 adults in Guadeloupe will get both types of scans, and researchers will compare the results. If su…

This study looks at how certain gene changes (PNPLA3) affect fatty liver disease in 600 adults from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Réunion Island. Researchers will collect blood samples to find which gene versions are common and how they relate to liver damage. The goal is to bet…
