This early-stage study tests whether adding the iron-binding drug MEX-CD1 to dialysis fluid can safely remove extra iron in adults with sepsis-related acute kidney injury in the ICU. Fourteen participants will each receive two 24-hour dialysis sessions—one standard and one with t…

This study tests whether a rapid molecular test combined with a treatment algorithm can help doctors choose the best antibiotics sooner for critically ill patients who develop pneumonia while on a ventilator. About 124 adults in two French hospitals will be randomly assigned to e…

This study tests whether adding a topical virus mixture (phage therapy) to standard wound care can shrink diabetic foot ulcers infected with staph bacteria more than standard care alone. About 60 adults with diabetes and a foot wound below the ankle that has lasted over 2 weeks w…

This study looks at whether removing bicarbonate from a common numbing mixture (lidocaine with adrenaline) affects how well people recover the day after hand or foot surgery. About 150 adults having outpatient surgery will be randomly assigned to get the numbing shot with or with…

This study tests if spinal manipulation (a type of hands-on back treatment) can reduce pain within 7 to 10 days for people with recent low back pain (less than 3 months). About 416 adults with moderate to severe pain will be randomly assigned to receive either spinal manipulation…

This study looks at 150 people with Lynch syndrome to find out how many also have Muir-Torre syndrome, a condition that causes certain skin tumors. Researchers will check skin lesions and past tumor samples using lab tests. The goal is to better understand the connection between …

This study will observe 1,200 adults admitted to hospital resuscitation rooms in France. Researchers want to see if patients who go directly to the resuscitation room are less likely to need intensive care within 24 hours compared to those who are admitted later from the emergenc…

This study looks at the sticky layer of germs (biofilm) that forms on central venous catheters in intensive care patients. Researchers will measure how much biofilm is on the inside and outside of the catheter. The goal is to learn more about these infections so better prevention…

This study surveys 200 healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, and students) to find out which techniques they use when removing breathing tubes from patients after surgery or in intensive care. The goal is to describe current practices, not to test a new treatment. Results wi…

This study looks at whether working odd hours or having long periods of inactivity at work makes people more likely to develop risky gambling habits. Researchers will survey 1,600 employed adults in France who have gambled at least once in the past year. The goal is to understand…

This study will follow 300 people with stage 4 chronic kidney disease (not yet on dialysis) for 18 months. Researchers want to see if high levels of lipoprotein(a) — a type of fat in the blood — are linked to future heart attacks, strokes, or the need for dialysis. The goal is to…

This study looks at how people with a first episode of psychosis tell their life stories and whether that relates to their well-being and recovery. Researchers will compare 96 participants—those with early psychosis, those with long-term psychosis, and healthy volunteers. The goa…
