title: Severe Post Partum Haemorrhage (PPH): A Randomized Trial on Transversal Intervention in 6 French Perinatal Networks

summary:
Hypothesis A "multifaceted" intervention program aimed at increasing the responsiveness of care givers, the adequacy of care provided, and the efficacy of organisation of care, in presence of abnormal blood loss in the immediate post partum has more impact on the incidence of severe PPH and on the costs of care than the current methods of dissemination of clinical practice guidelines.

Intervention Intervention group. The intervention includes three components: (1) outreach visits with local presentation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of PPH, and discussion of their applicability in the context of local organisation; (2) during these educational visits, reminders - check list, "PPH emergency case" containing appropriate materials - to be used in case of PPH, will be proposed; (3) finally, cases of severe PPH will be reviewed during peer review sessions organized in each participating unit, to help identifying weaknesses in care provided, and needs for improvement.

Control group. The proposed guidelines for management of PPH will be disseminated through the participating perinatal networks; then each unit will be free to implement them at its own convenience.

Randomisation procedure The trial follows a cluster randomised trial design. Randomisation of maternity units will be stratified by region, status (public versus private) and size (annual number of deliveries). The stratified design will guarantee the comparability of the two arms of the trial at baseline.

Outcome measures The primary outcome is the incidence of severe PPH (number of severe PPH to number of deliveries). A severe PPH is defined as a PPH that was associated with one or more of the following: peripartum haemoglobin drop greater than 4g/dl, blood transfusion, arterial embolisation, surgical procedures such as hysterectomy or arterial ligation, transfer of the mother to intensive care unit, maternal death.

Secondary outcomes include the cost of care and the cost/efficacy ratio, and the incidence of adverse effects of uterotonic drugs.

title: Aortic Stenosis in Elderly : Determinant of Progression. COFRASA (French Cohort)

summary: Aortic stenosis (AS) is AS is caused by calcium deposits in the aortic valve. Calcification is progressive and eventually leads to reduced leaflet motion with obstruction of the left ventricular outflow. The only treatment is surgery. There are evidences that AS is a regulated process with similarities to atherosclerosis but determinants of AS progression are unknown. The study aims at evaluating these determinants and more specifically the role of lipids, inflammation and platelet aggregation.

title: Study of Mitochondrial Functions and Oxidative Stress in ALS Patients.

summary: In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), malnutrition is frequent (16 to 50 % of the patients) and is an independent prognostic factor. One of the implicated factors is the increase of resting energy expenditure (REE) which can be found in about 50 % of ALS patients. The origin of this hypermetabolism is currently unknown but could be located in the mitochondria. In fact, some studies have found mitochondrial abnormalities and the existence of an oxidative stress. Thus, the aim of this study is to characterize the mitochondrial abnormalities and the oxidant/antioxidant status of ALS patients and to determine their relationship with the metabolic status, hypermetabolism or normometabolism. Three groups of patients will be studied : 20 hypermetabolic ALS patients, 20 normometabolic ALS patients and 20 healthy volunteers paired for age and sex.

title: Silent Cerebral Infarction After Heart Catheterization: A Randomized Comparison of Radial and Femoral Arterial Access.

summary:
Symptomatic cerebral infarction following cardiac catheterization is rare but silent brain injury could occur at an unexpectedly high rate. One study has found that up to 22% of patients with severe aortic stenosis who have undergone retrograde catheterization of the valve can be identified as having new ischemic lesions as detected by diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). During cardiac catheterization, cerebral microembolism as detected by TCD has frequently been observed, but whether it is clinically relevant remains unknown . However, recent studies have suggested that some of these microemboli could be responsible for acute brain injury, as documented by DW MRI.

Indeed the high sensitivity of DW MRI suggests that this technique could allow an improved estimate of cerebral ischemic events associated with cardiovascular-catheter procedures. We therefore decided to perform DW MRI before and after cardiac catheterization to prospectively assess both clinically silent and apparent cerebral embolisms for the first time in a multicenter trial. Furthermore, a randomization between radial and femoral access will allow assessment of risk of silent brain injury associated with the different vascular access sites.

title: Study of the Efficacity of the Systemic Ketamine for the Improvement of Post-Operative Analgesia After ORL Carcinological Surgery at the Alcohol-Dependent Patient.

summary: The principal objective is to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of the systemic ketamine on the control of the pain (average consumption of morphine at 48 hours) at the alcool-dependent patient, in carcinological surgery ORL. The effect coanalgesic is found for low dose of ketamine and action anti NMDA seems to have a stabilizing effect on this particular type of patient. This imbalance of the receivers, with a greater number of r-NMDA among these patients would involve it a better analgesic effectiveness and less effects dysphoric, to see an improvement on the syndrome of weaning. The secondary objectives evaluate the pain, the ground (dependence with alcohol), the first request analgesic, the tolerance and the signs psychic (syndrome of weaning...) and the satisfaction of the patient.

title: Consequences of Parenteral Nutrition Photoprotection on the Oxidant Related Diseases Among Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants : A Randomized Controlled Study

summary: The antioxidant system of very low birth weight infants is immature. This immaturity is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia or retinopathy. The main source of oxidant is oxygen, and parenteral nutrition is contaminated with oxidant. Photoprotection decreases the oxidant load infused with parenteral nutrition. In a preliminary study, photoprotection reduced the frequency of pulmonary bronchodysplasia, increased the quantity of enteral nutrition tolerated, and decreased the arterial blood pressure among very low birth weight infants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of photoprotection on oxidant related diseases among very low birth weight infants. This study is a randomized multicenter trial. In the intervention group, photoprotection is applied until the infusion of parenteral nutrition with amber bags, tubing, and syringes. The quality of photoprotection is controlled by measuring malondialdehyde and cysteine after 24 hours of infusion. The control group will receive parenteral nutrition with transparent bags and tubing. The outcomes are evaluated at 36 weeks, and 680 infants will be enrolled, with stratification among centers and gestational age.

title: Dietary Therapy of Mitochondrial Fatty Acids Oxidation. A Clinical Study of Treatment With Odd Carbons Medium-chain Fatty Acids

summary:
Usual dietary therapies of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAO) are based on 3 strategies:

limitation of lipid intake in the diet;
supplementation of the diet with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) for patients affected with disorders of long-chain FAO;
some specific supplementations (for example, L-carnitine).

These strategies are often ineffective. The aim of the present study is to evaluate new therapeutic ways based on the underlying energetic defect observed in these disorders. The long-term goal is to develop efficient therapies of these disorders.

title: Elaboration of a Model for Predicting Efficacy of Monoclonal Antibodies (Cetuximab and Bevacizumab) in Patients With Colorectal Cancer and Liver Metastases

summary:
Primary Objective: This trial is elaborating a model for rapidly predicting (day 21) the response to monoclonal antibodies anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF (cetuximab and bevacizumab) based on biological markers and/or functional imaging. The response to treatment is evaluated by the conventional method after 2 months (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria).

Secondary Objectives:

This trial is also analyzing the correlation between the magnitude of response to treatment at 2 months (stabilization or objective response, RECIST criteria) and that of response observed after 6 months of treatment.
The organisational objective is to develop a tumour bank of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Population: The population includes 252 male and female patients with metastatic colorectal cancer justifying the use of cetuximab or bevacizumab, with no heart disease.

Techniques: Computed tomography (CT scan), functional imaging (ultrasound with SonoVue); molecular imaging (positron emission tomography [PET] with fluorodeoxyglucose F18 [18-FDG]); and biology and pathology on microbiopsy of liver metastasis are used.

Outcome Criteria: The primary outcome is response to treatment with monoclonal antibodies according to RECIST criteria at two months.

Studied Factors:

Radiology:

CT scan: RECIST criteria (gold standard);
Ultrasound with SonoVue injection: 1 representative target (delay of contrast appearance, peak of rising, curve of increase and decrease of the signal, area under the curve, time of average transit).

Nuclear Medicine: PET scan and 18-FDG (standard uptake values [SUV])

Molecular Characterization of Tumors: p53 status; microsatellite instability (MSI) status; expression of oncogenes; EGFR status; VEGF status; determination of FcgammaRIIIA polymorphisms

Statistics:

Descriptive analyses;
Analysis of the appropriate threshold to measure: response to treatment by an ultrasound with SonoVue and by PET scan; correlation between response predicted by the ultrasound with SonoVue and the PET; conventional morphological CT at 2 months

Analysis of prognostic factors:

Evaluation of the role of each prognostic factor (pathology and imaging) on response to treatment;
Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors;
Analysis of the prognostic power of early response at 2 months on the response observed after 6 months of treatment.

title: Effects of a Personalized Standardized Rehabilitation Program on the Quality of Life of Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Patients : a Randomized Controlled Trial

acronym: SCLEREDUC

summary: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective-tissue disease characterized by excessive collagen deposition, vascular hyper-reactivity and obliterative microvascular phenomena leading to disability, handicap, and worsening of quality of life. Pharmacological treatments are mainly used for vascular involvement. To date, no pharmacological treatment have been shown to be effective for the fibrosis leading to skin, tendon, and joint disability. Our hypothesis is that rehabilitation could be an interesting non pharmacological treatment in order to decrease the handicap of SSc patients. Our objective is to evaluate the effect of a personalized standardized rehabilitation program on the quality of life of SSc patients in a multicentric randomized controlled trial. This trial will compare a personalized standardized rehabilitation program to the usual non pharmacological treatment. The primary outcome measure will be the HAQ DI (Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index). A Zelen design will be used for this study.

title: Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Associated With Obesity on Cough Reflex Threshold to Citric Acid

summary: Up to 70% of obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). OSAS is responsible for laryngeal sensory impairment. As the afferent neural pathway involved in the initiation of cough is located in the laryngeal epithelium, cough reflex sensitivity may be decreased in obese OSAS patients. The researchers therefore conducted this study to determine the effect of OSAS associated with obesity on cough reflex sensitivity, assessed by cough reflex threshold to an inhaled irritant (citric acid).

title: Evaluation of the Impact of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism on the Development of Acute Renal Failure in Critically Ill Patients

summary: Associations between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism and occurrence and outcome of ARDS, and with respiratory complications post cardiopulmonary bypass have already been demonstrated. Based on physiological effects of angiotensin II, we hypothesized that the I allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme Insertion/Deletion polymorphism may be associated with a higher risk of acute renal failure in critically ill patients.

title: Effect of an Enriched Butyrogenic Fibres Diet on Rectal Sensitivity in Healthy Control and IBS Patients.

summary: Despite there being no clearcut advantages, one of the most common recommendations in IBS management is to increase the amount of dietary fibres. In some IBS patients fibres have a deleterious effect on pain and bloating. It has been shown that butyrate can increase colonic sensitivity in rats. Our purpose is to study whether butyrogenic fibres can modify rectal sensitivity and symptoms in IBS and healthy control through a modification of colonic flora.

title: Effects of Perioperative Systemic Ketamine on Development of Long-term Neuropathic Pain After Thoracotomy.

summary: Lung surgery under thoracotomy is known to induce long-term pain which can be considered as neuropathic in many patients concerned [1,2]. The suspected origin of neuropathy is a direct traumatism of intercostal nerve(s) [3]. Among the possible preventive treatments that can be administered during the initial aggression, ketamine [4,5] appears as the easiest to use, as it is already commonly administered intra and postoperatively for improvement of analgesia [6].

summary:
Microgravity during space flight induces physiological changes that affect astronauts' health and performance. Space flight simulations such as prolonged bed rest can mimic some of these changes and provide study conditions that are more accessible than during space flight. The European Space Agency, ESA together with the French national space agency, CNES and the Japanese national space agency, NASDA are performing extensive studies using long duration bed rest.

Previous studies including several long and short term bed rest campaigns have yielded significant medical data on the physiological changes induced by space flight. These data can be used to study the effect of countermeasures, methods helping to prevent these physiological changes.

The long duration bed rest, lasting 3 months undertakes a variety of investigations involving 28 subjects. This study focuses on countermeasures, studying the effect of a bone tissue stabilisation medication and resistive exercises to determine their suitability for use during long duration stays on ISS.

The physiological changes recorded during space flight and bed rest mimic those observed in some diseases and in the aging process. Significant clinical applications are expected as a direct result of this experiment and future equivalent studies.

title: Local Anesthesia Effect on Tuberculin Skin Test Results in Infants and Children

summary: The use of local anaesthesia efficiently reduces pain due to needle puncture. However, when tuberculin skin test is performed it is the skin reaction to tuberculin injection that is studied. It is a quantitative skin reaction measured in millimiters. From the study of literature it is not known whether local anaesthetic modify skin reaction to tuberculin. Therefore, before recommending the use local anaesthesia for tuberculin intradermal injection we have to rule out a potential effect of local anaesthetic on the result of the test. This is particularly important in children, since there are more sensitive to pain than adults


title: Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Gene Polymorphism and Response to Antidepressants Treatment in Major Depression

summary: The main hypothesis is that the therapeutic response and pharmacological resistance to ADs in depressed patients can be associated with a polymorphism for the BDNF gene. The research of allelic forms associated to lesser efficiency or inefficiency of ADs could add to the body of evidence that BDNF mediates the mechanism of action of ADs, and could have important practical implications. We propose to compare in a group of patients with major depression, the allelic variability of the BDNF gene between responders and non-responders after a 3-week period and a 6-week period of SSRI treatment.

title: Digestive and Nutritional Effects of Probiotics (Bifidobacterium Longum and Lactobacillus GG) Supplementation in Premature Newborns

summary: Symbiotic interaction between probiotics ("Living alimentary microbials supplemental, affecting positively host by improving intestinal microbial equilibrium" (Fuller, 1989)) and human digestive tract was amply experimented and seems to be an interesting solution to orientate neonates digestive flora. Many studies showed a probant efficiency of probiotic supplementation in neonates on ECUN, despite abnormally high ECUN incidence in control group. Nevertheless, our aim is to test clinical efficiency of two new probiotics strains. Bifidobacterium Longum and Lactobacillus GG on Oral Nutrition (volume at Day 14 and Day 21) and safety (Adverse Events) in very premature babies.

title: Working Memory Updating in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Study of Neural Correlates Using fMRI

acronym: METRAPI

summary: Neuropsychological studies investigating trauma-exposed and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) subjects have generally underlined the significantly poorer performance of tasks that require attention, concentration, and verbal memory, and difficulty in regulating memories surrounding the traumatic event. A previous study (El Hage et al. Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 2006) revealed that the trauma-exposed subjects scored higher on anxiety/depression scales, and lower on processing speed tests. Moreover, the study showed significant impairment in working memory partially mediated by speed processing, but not by anxiety or depression. These results suggest that processing speed makes a major contribution to trauma-related working memory decline, and needs to be investigated in further studies.The aim of the present study is to explore correlation between hippocampus volume, frontal dysfunction and cognitive slowing in trauma-exposed subjects, while examining brain activation during performance of working memory tasks using functional magnetic resonance.

title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Open-Labelled Trial Comparing Effect of Two Haemoglobin Levels (110- 129 g/L and 130 - 149 g/L) on Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and With Chronic Kidney Disease

summary:
In type 2 diabetics, progression from chronic kidney disease to end stage renal disease may be slowed down by therapeutic interventions as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors use, control of high blood pressure and proteinuria, control of hyperglycaemia, protein intake restriction, smoking cessation.

Correcting anaemia in these patients may prevent impairment of renal function. International guidelines indicate that haemoglobin level has to be of 110 g/L in these patients. We conduct an interventional randomized trial to evaluate the potential benefit of an haemoglobin level of 130 g/L in patients with type 2 diabetes and with a chronic kidney disease defined by a Cockcroft's creatinine clearance of 25 - 60 ml/min.

title: Prospective, Open-label, Single-arm, Exploratory Study of the Effect and Safety of rhGAA in Patients With Advanced Late-onset Pompe Disease Who Are Receiving Respiratory Support

summary: Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The overall objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rhGAA in patients with advanced Late-onset Pompe disease.

title: Randomized Trial of Vertebroplasty and Radiotherapy Versus Radiotherapy Alone for Osseous Spine Metastases

summary:
A randomized phase III study of palliative external beam radiotherapy (RTOG 97-14) has shown that 8 Gy in a single fraction is very effective in providing pain relief, with complete or partial improvement in pain seen in 66% of patients with bone metastases. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is a technique designed to consolidate pathologic vertebral bodies through the injection of orthopaedic cement under fluoroscopic guidance. Consolidation provides rapid pain relief to painful vertebral body lesions secondary to osteoporosis, haemangiomas, myeloma and metastatic diseases, with complete or partial improvement in pain seen in 70-85% of patients. To date, no randomized trial has tested the association of vertebroplasty and radiotherapy to enhance pain relief for patients with painful osseous spine metastases.

A randomized trial has been designed to determine whether vertebroplasty and radiotherapy (8 Gy in a single fraction) provide enhancement pain and narcotic relief compared to radiotherapy alone for patients with painful osseous spine metastases

summary: Pressure ulcers are a common and frustrating problem and their treatment is critical in elderly people. The interaction between external pressure and the skin vascular is central to the prevention of pressure ulcers. It is only through understanding of the physiology of cutaneous perfusion and its relation to external pressure or different stimuli that effective preventive measures to reduce skin beakdown can be adapted in clinical practice.

title: Recruitment Maneuvers in ARDS: Effects on Respiratory Function and Inflammatory (ARAMIS: Apport d'un Recrutement Alveolaire Sur Les Marqueurs de l'Inflammation Dans le SDRA)

summary:
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom is associated to lung and systemic inflammation, which could be worsened by mechanical ventilation.This included a proteasis - antiproteasis imbalance which could participate to a fibrosis process.

Low tidal-volume ventilation (6 mL/kg) with low plateau pressure (< 30 cm H2O) has been proved to decrease mortality when compared with more conventionnal high-volume (12 mL/kg) ventilation.Moreover, this lung-protective approach decrease lung annd systemic inflammation.

Using recruitment maneuvers (i.e. the application during a short time of high pressures with the intention to re-open the lung, followed by an increase of PEEP-level to keep the lung open, in an attempt to decrease the alveolar shear-stress) has been proposed to improve oxygen and to reduce bio-trauma.

However, the effect of such maneuvers on the inflammatory response and on the evolution of ARDS remains unknown.

Therefore we have planned a randomized, monocentric, controlled trial consisting of the comparison of two approaches of mechanical ventilation in Acute Lung Injury. This trial will include 30 hemodynamically stable patients fulfilling the ALI or ARDS criteria defined by the US and European Consensus Conference.

They will be randomized in two groups: standard low-volume ventilation vs. recruitment maneuvers.

The main objective of our study is to compare both ventilatory strategies in termes of lung and systemic inflammation.

The primary outcome measures will be the proteasis activity as measured in broncho alveolar fluid (BAL) and pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines activity as measured in the BAL and in the blood. Two samples (BAL and blood) will be obtained at a 48-72 hours interval. In the recruitment maneuver group, the first BAL will be obtained two hours before the maneuver.

Secondary outcome measures will be gaz exchange, respiratory mechanics, systemic hemodynamics and visceral dysfunction scores.

title: Effects of Bosentan (Tracleer) in the Course of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension Induced by Hypoxia

summary:
Excessive rise in pulmonary artery pressure induced by low oxygen tension (hypoxia) is one of the factors implicated in high-altitude pulmonary oedema. Plasma ET1 increases in subjects exposed to high altitude and is correlated to pulmonary artery pressure.

The aim of the study is to investigate whether blockade of ET1 receptors would reduce the acute rise in systolic pulmonary artery pressure induced by hypoxia.

title: Double-blind Randomized Trial of Rituximab Versus Placebo in Polyneuropathy Associated With Anti-MAG IgM Monoclonal Gammopathy

summary: Polyneuropathy associated with anti-MAG monoclonal IgM gammopathy is responsive of mainly a sensory deficit in predominantly males ,aged 40-70 years. Significantly high serum anti-MAG antibodies are linked with demyelinating features of the peripheral nerves.Rituximab, an anti-CD 20 monoclonal antibody is a new drug which reduces B-lymphocytes. This study will test the safety and efficacy of rituximab in the treatment of patients with anti-MAG polyneuropathy.
