This study tests whether a newer type of blood thinner (direct oral anticoagulant) works better than the standard one (vitamin K antagonist) for dissolving blood clots inside the heart. About 340 adults with such clots will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The g…

This study looks at whether involving bipolar patients in decisions about their preventive treatment helps them take their medication as prescribed. Researchers will compare standard care to a shared decision-making plan in 300 adults after a mood episode. The goal is to see if t…

This study is testing whether a simple, inexpensive saliva test can accurately diagnose Cushing's syndrome, a condition caused by too much cortisol. Researchers will compare two automated lab methods in 380 people who are already being checked for the disease. The goal is to find…

This study looks at how COVID-19 changes the bacteria in the gut of hospitalized patients. Researchers want to see if these changes are linked to the amount of virus in the stool and how sick patients get. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.

This study looks at 130 premature babies born before 33 weeks to see if changes in their gut bacteria during the first 6 weeks of life are linked to how their immune system develops by age 3. Researchers will measure immune markers in blood samples to understand this connection. …

This study looks at radiation doses from a newer type of CT scan called spectral CT, which gives clearer images. Researchers will collect dose information from 9600 patients who had these scans in France. The goal is to create safety benchmarks so that patients get the lowest pos…

This study looks at how donating blood changes the heart's function, using a simple ultrasound test. Researchers will measure heart activity in 66 healthy volunteers before and after donating about a pint of blood. The goal is to see if this ultrasound method can quickly detect b…

This study looks at how the process of diagnosing infertility affects the sex lives of couples. Researchers will ask 80 heterosexual couples at a French hospital to fill out questionnaires about their sexual function and satisfaction. The goal is to understand if the diagnosis it…

This study measures two markers (CD32a and X) on immune cells from 48 adults with HIV who have had undetectable virus for at least 2 years on treatment. The goal is to see if these markers relate to the amount of hidden HIV DNA in cells. No new treatment is given; the study only …

This study investigates a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, often found in diabetic foot ulcers. Researchers want to understand if this bacteria can cause serious infections by analyzing its genetic makeup and ability to form biofilms. The study uses 230 bacter…

This study surveys 300 transgender men in France aged 25-65 who still have a cervix. It aims to understand why many skip cervical cancer screening and what helps or hinders their access. The goal is to identify obstacles and solutions to make screening more inclusive.

This study explores whether changes in gut bacteria can affect Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease causing dry eyes, dry mouth, and fatigue. Researchers will measure certain proteins in the blood that indicate gut leakage, and see if they relate to disease activity. The goa…
