Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome FPIES is a type of non-IgE mediated food allergy that usually occurs in infancy and is often not well known by clinicians. The study aims to collect clinical information and allergy test results from children diagnosed with the acute form of FPIES and to observe their condition over three years. It seeks to better understand the evolution of FPIES, including atypical forms, with no prior prospective data available from France. Children diagnosed with acute FPIES will be followed in this national prospective study conducted at sixteen French centers. Allergy tests such as oral food challenges, skin prick tests, and IgE blood tests will be used for diagnosis and monitoring. Patients will be seen at an initial visit and then annually for up to three years. If tolerance to the offending food is not acquired, an oral food challenge will be performed in the hospital for confirmation. Participants will undergo yearly allergist visits for evaluation of symptoms and allergy testing. Researchers will measure the rate of tolerance acquisition to foods over one, two, and three years post-inclusion, as well as the progression to IgE sensitization and clinical IgE-mediated allergy. Additional outcomes include the presence of multiple FPIES episodes and related atopic conditions. The study will provide insights into the natural history and management of FPIES in children.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of vicadrostat combined with empagliflozin in adults who have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease but no history of heart failure. The study aims to assess whether this combination can help reduce cardiovascular risks compared to a placebo with empagliflozin. This Phase III trial involves adults with these conditions who are already receiving treatment for them. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets daily, while the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat but have no active medicine, alongside empagliflozin. Treatment lasts from two and a half years up to four years and three months. All participants continue their usual medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and heart disease during the study. Throughout the study, lasting up to four years and three months, participants visit the study site regularly for health checks and blood samples. Doctors monitor cardiovascular events and any side effects experienced. The main outcome measured is the time until the first cardiovascular death or heart failure event. Other health indicators like blood pressure and kidney function are also tracked to understand the effects of the treatment combination.

Chronic kidney disease CKD is a significant global health concern, with hypertension being the leading risk factor for death, cardiovascular problems, and progression to end-stage kidney disease in these patients. Lowering blood pressure is known to reduce these risks, but the best second-line treatment after initial therapy with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers ARBs is unclear. This study aims to compare a diuretic-based blood pressure lowering approach to usual care in patients with moderate to severe CKD and uncontrolled hypertension. Participants are assigned to one of two groups one group receives blood pressure management guided by a diuretic-based algorithm, while the other group follows the usual care provided by their clinicians, which may include pharmacological or non-pharmacological therapies. The study is a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial using a parallel design. Treatment adjustments are made according to the assigned strategy, and the study will continue for up to 36 months to observe outcomes. During the study, participants will be monitored for kidney function decline, cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and blood pressure control. Researchers will assess changes in kidney filtration rate, proteinuria, diuretic use, and quality of life over time. Regular evaluations will include blood pressure measurements and other clinical assessments to track the effectiveness of the treatment strategies. The total participation time can last up to three years, with ongoing monitoring of health outcomes throughout this period.
