A Study Evaluating Platinum-Pemetrexed-Atezolizumab (+/-Bevacizumab) for Patients With Stage IIIB/IV Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR Mutations, ALK Rearrangement or ROS1 Fusion Progressing After Targeted Therapies

In patients with an EGFR mutation, several phase III studies comparing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with chemotherapy have shown a benefit of TKI over chemotherapy, with no demonstrated benefit on overall survival. After a first line of treatment with a TKI, most patients progress and are eligible according to the mechanism of progression to a TKI of 3rd generation in case of T790M resistance or chemotherapy. In patients with ALK translocation, crizotinib has been shown to be beneficial in first line compared to a platinum doublet.Despite these major advances, most patients are progressing after targeted treatments and chemotherapy and are facing the problem of anti-PD1 / PDL1 treatment.

Careful Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (COVID-19 and Non-COVID-19)

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major public health problem affecting approximately 10% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and 23% of all patients on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator). The short-term mortality of patients with ARDS is approximately 40% and better ventilation of these patients has the greatest potential to improve outcomes. The lungs in patients with ARDS are severely inflamed which reduces lung volume and their ability to stretch, making ventilation difficult and dangerous. However, mechanical ventilation is the mainstay of supportive therapy. Although it is life-saving, it can also can generate secondary injury and inflammation, called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The investigators know that inadequate mechanical ventilation worsens outcomes but are uncertain of the optimal way to manage ventilators at the bedside. Furthermore, ARDS is challenging because there is no treatment for the alveolar-capillary leak characterizing this syndrome; aside from treating the underlying cause, the only supportive therapy is mechanical ventilation. This is specially the case for COVID-19 induced ARDS. Despite best practices, over-distension of the lung or inappropriate positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is common. Finally, once spontaneous breathing has resumed and is assisted by the ventilator, an additional phenomenon occurs, called patient self-inflicted lung injury. The drive for breathing in many patients is stimulated by lung inflammation, and strong breathing efforts can generate high distending pressures, causing lung (and systemic) inflammation and organ damage. Whether the management of COVID-19 induced ARDS should differ from all other ARDS has been debated at length but has no clear response Recent advances in our understanding of bedside physiology (airway closure, recruitability, lung distension, respiratory drive) can now be applied for an individual titration of mechanical ventilation.

(DIS)AGreement of Relatives Regarding Ethical End-of-life Decisions in ICU.

Context In the ICU, the vast majority of patients die following a life-sustaining therapies (LST) limitation decision. Most often, the patient is not able to express himself and has not made his wishes known beforehand, for example in the form of advance directives. The "relatives" are then the only recourse to state the patient's wishes, without any guarantee that they are aware of them. In France, the final decision is made by the physician (or the medical team) who is responsible for it. In this context, disagreements and even real legal conflicts on LST limitation decisions between relatives and physicians seem to be more and more frequent. To our knowledge, few data exist on the frequency of these disagreements over LST limitation decisions. Purpose The main objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of disagreements between relatives and physicians over LST limitation decisions in adult intensive care. The secondary objectives are: - To assess the level of agreement/disagreement between family members and physicians regarding LST limitation decisions - To assess the proportion of disagreements experienced as conflictual - To assess the impact of the disagreement on the LST limitation decision (implementation of the decision, time between the decision and its implementation, length of hospitalization...) - To describe possible factors that contribute to disagreement and conflict - To describe national LST limitation decision-making practices.

Sexual Dysfunction Among Inflammatory Bowel Disease Adults-Clinical Trial

Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have higher rates of sexual dysfunction than healthy controls. No interventional study has addressed this matter so far. The aim of our study is to investigative the benefit of a psycho-educational intervention on sexual function in patients with IBD, by comparing patients participating to an educational program including a specific discussion on intimacy and sexuality to patients followed in usual care.

A Study of DSP-5336 in Relapsed/Refractory AML/ ALL With or Without MLL Rearrangement or NPM1 Mutation

Phase 1 (dose escalation) will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (i.e. the lowest dose of Enzomenib (DSP-5336), that provides the maximum biologic and clinical effect, or the MTD, whichever is lower) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML, ALL, or acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage. Enrollment to the phase 1 portion of the study may be limited to patients with certain genetic abnormalities. Phase 2 dose-expansion will further evaluate the safety and clinical activity of Enzomenib (DSP-5336) monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory AML who have MLLr or NPM1m, and relapsed/refractory ALL who have MLLr.

New Clinical End-points in Patients With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a female-to-male predominance of 9:1 and a peak incidence at 50 years of age. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and subsequent destruction of exocrine glands, mainly lacrimal and salivary glands, with ocular and oral dryness. Patients also experience joint pain and extreme fatigue. In 20-40% of patients, the inflammatory process extends beyond the exocrine glands and patients experience systemic extra glandular manifestations, with 5-10% developing B-cell lymphoma. Two populations of pSS patients can be defined. Patients with dryness, fatigue, pain and low systemic activity present no or limited long-term extraglandular damage but they have a profoundly reduced quality of life with marked anxiety, depression, and social isolation (Rischmueller 2016)(Meijer, 2009). Patients with high systemic activity have important long-term damage and bad prognosis. To date, there are no approved disease-modifying treatments. Current clinical outcome assessment (COA) tools in pSS have shown important weaknesses (e.g. high placebo response rate) which may hamper demonstration of therapeutic benefit. A novel COA called STAR has recently been developed by the NECESSITY consortium (funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative) and should allow the identification of new therapeutic options for both patient populations. the investigator aim to demonstrate, thanks to the new STAR outcome measure, efficacy of a combination therapy targeting both B- and T-cells in pSS patients.

Analysis of Biological Characteristics of Advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC

BioEXALK is a prospective study evaluating the biological characteristics of advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC treated with new generation TKIs in first line, included in the national EXPLORE ALK cohort (GFPC 03-2019). Explore ALK GFPC 03-2019 is a non-interventional, national, multi-center cohort of ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients, whose RCB reference is 2020-A00771-38 and which obtained an approval from the IDF II Ethic Committee on 25/05/2020. Biological analysis will be performed on tissue at diagnosis and at the time of disease progression when available and on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) on three timepoints (diagnosis, at first tumor evaluation and at the time of disease progression). - Tissue : RNAseq will be performed on tumor biopsy (10 slides of 5 microns) to identify the ALK fusion partner and its variant and associated co-mutations.. - ctDNA : NGS panel on DNA including a large panel of fusions and mutations will be performed on blood samples (30mL on EDTA or STRECKs tubes) at diagnosis, at the time of the first evaluation and at the time of progression). For plasma testing, after obtained patient consent, blood samples (35mL on EDTA or STRECKs tubes) at diagnosis, at the first evaluation and at disease progression will be taken. The ALKis include alectinib and brigatinib as first-line therapy or other drugs with marketing authorizations (lorlatinib, entrectinib) or in early access programs (EAPs). Liquid biopsies will be analyzed with a NGS panel allowing the identification of ALK fusion partners and resistance mechanisms (mutations, fusions, copy number variations). Samples will be sent for centralized analysis to the Léon Bérard Center (Lyon). For biological analysis on tissue obtained at diagnosis, the ALK fusion partner and its variant will be identified by RNAseq. Whenever a tissue re-biopsy is performed at the time of disease progression as part of the standard of care management of the patient, the remaining tissue sample will be collected as part of the BioExALK study, so that RNAseq analysis will be performed to look for resistance mechanisms. Tissue samples (10 slides of 5 microns) will be sent for centralized analysis to the Rouen University Hospital.

An Observational Post-marketing Study Using Commercially Approved Biosense Webster (BWI) Medical Devices for the Treatment of Participants With Cardiac Arrhythmias

Prognostic Determinants in Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcer.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the major complications frequently observed in patients with diabetes. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation (LLA), and it is associated with cognitive decline, worsening quality of life and substantial economic impact on French healthcare system. DFU is also associated with excess risk of premature death with significant decrease in life expectancy despite major improvement in medical care during last decades. The hypothesis of the study is that this worse prognosis seen in DFU patients may not be fully explained by a high cardiovascular risk, but mainly linked to different causes, including inflammatory, infectious and malignant conditions. In addition, to conduct the first prospective, observational and multi-centre cohort of patients with DFU in France to evaluate the 5-years mortality rate, its causes and relevant prognostic determinants, the investigators will also assess all changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the economic impact related to DFU (cost of illness study) for the French healthcare system, using SNDS claims databases. A 3-year inclusion period will start during 2020, and each participant will be followed for 5 years or until death.

A Study of KER-050 to Treat Anemia Due to Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

KER-050 is a therapeutic protein designed to increase red blood cell and platelet production by inhibiting the signaling of a subset of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) family of proteins to promote hematopoiesis. It is being developed for the treatment of low blood cell counts, or cytopenias including anemia and thrombocytopenia in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Myelofibrosis (MF).
