Despite technical advances in Medically Assisted Reproduction (AMP), the success of fertility treatments is sometimes limited by embryo implantation failure. The coordinated development of the embryo and the uterine endometrium requires close communication between the maternal tissue and the embryo. In in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer generally takes place between the 2nd (D2) and the 6th (D6) day following oocyte fertilization. Recent studies have shown the advantages of sequential transfer (transfer of an embryo on D2/D3 followed by the transfer of another embryo on D5/D6), with higher implantation and clinical pregnancy rate, fewer miscarriages, more live births, and yet no increase in multiple pregnancies. However, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommendations continue to prioritize the transfer of a single embryo for all patients aged under 38. To improve pregnancy rates for patients having a single embryo transferred, the study investigators wish to carry out on "blank" transfer, based on the principle of sequential transfer. The study investigators hypothesize that a culture medium, placed in the uterus before the time of embryo transfer, will modify immune tolerance. The study will test whether transferring the same culture medium in an equivalent quantity as during the real transfer into the uterus 2/3 days before the embryo transfer will improve tolerance to this foreign medium and, therefore, embryo implantation. The aim of this study is thus to evaluate the impact of a "blank" transfer with culture medium alone, on the results of frozen embryo transfers (FET) from IVF.

Adult-Onset Still's disease is a polygenic autoinflammatory disease of unknown etiology. The autoinflammatory character individualizes it from autoimmune autoantibody diseases. Clinically, it results in the classic triad associating hectic fever, evanescent rash and arthritis. Although it is benign in the vast majority of cases, life-threatening complications can occur. By definition, the disease affects adults over 16 years of age, however most experts now agree that the adult form and the pediatric form belong to a pathological continuum: Still's disease. In the absence of a specific biomarker, the diagnosis is still based on clinical and biological criteria, after the exclusion of differential diagnoses. Classically, three evolutionary profiles of Adult-Onset Still's disease are individualized, depending on the evolution of symptoms over time: * a monocyclic systemic form (30% of cases) characterized by clear systemic symptoms and in the foreground compared to the articular signs. This form evolves over several weeks to several months (on average 9 months), without exceeding a year. By definition, there is no recurrence; * a polycyclic systemic form (30% of cases) defined by the occurrence of at least two systemic or joint episodes, separated by clinical remission intervals greater than two months, or even several years. The symptoms of relapses are not always the same as the initial symptoms. The number and severity of relapses is unpredictable and varies widely from patient to patient, but symptoms tend to become less severe over time. * a chronic form, with predominant joint involvement (40%), resembling seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. Systemic signs are present during the first outbreaks of the disease. Subsequently, rheumatoid arthritis evolves on its own and one can see joint destruction or conversely ankylosing developments such as the classic bilateral, non-erosive fusing carpitis. There are reasons to believe that the evolving profile of patients has changed since the emergence and generalization of biotherapies. Furthermore, no prognostic factor for the progression of Adult-Onset Still's disease has been found so far. The differences between pediatric and adult forms need to be confirmed and becoming pediatric forms in adulthood is poorly described. The objective of this study is to set up a regional research database (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes-Limousin) in order to describe the characteristics, treatment and evolution of patients with Still's disease.

The objective of the study is to describe the therapeutic management of patients more than or equal to 18 years old eligible for systemic therapy or treated by systemic therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD). This study will be proposed to a sample of French dermatologists experienced in the management of AD, practicing in hospital centers and/or office-based dermatologists. The study will be conducted in real conditions of practice, systemic treatment decisions will be taken at the sole initiative of the participating physician irrespective of the patient enrollment decision. Each patient will be followed-up in routine care setting for 1 year.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center, Phase 3 study of GLSI-100 immunotherapy in HLA-A\*02 positive and HER2/neu positive subjects who are at high risk for disease recurrence and have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant standard of care therapy. Treatment consists of 6 intradermal injections, Primary Immunization Series (PIS), over the first 6 months of treatment and 5 booster intradermal injections spaced 6 months apart. A third open-label arm will explore GLSI-100 immunotherapy in non-HLA-A\*02 positive and HER2/neu positive subjects.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus is still a rare disease but its incidence increases mostly due to its association with human papillomavirus (HPV). When localized, the standard treatment combines radiotherapy and chemotherapy with 5FU and mitomycin-C. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) achieves a good outcome for early stage tumors (T1-T2 tumors without nodal involvement), but more advanced tumors (T3-T4 or N1) are associated with a dismal prognosis. About 35 % of such patients relapse within two years after the end of treatment Recently, for metastatic or recurrent tumors after chemoradiotherapy, a chemotherapy combining docetaxel, cisplatin and 5FU (modified DCF protocol) has given very good results with a median overall survival of 39.2 months in 2 French trials (Epitopes HPV01 and 02). Our idea is to propose a new strategy , associating this chemotherapy (mDCF) followed by chemoradiotherapy to improve efficacy of the treatment for patients with locally advanced anal cancers. To this end, The principal investigator propose a national, multicenter, randomized phase 3 clinical trial to compare induction chemotherapy with mDCF followed by chemoradiotherapy versus standard chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced anal canal cancer. the efficacy of the treatment will be evaluated by comparing disease-related event-free survival at 2 years according to the type of treatment. Other endpoints will also be evaluated such as overall survival and colostomy-free survival, treatment tolerability, response rate and quality of life. This trial will be offered to patients over 18 years of age with locally advanced anal cancer without metastasis (T3-4 or N1). It is open to patients over 75 years of age subject to a favorable evaluation by an oncogeriatrician. It is also open to immunocompromised patients (HIV+) if their immunity is well controlled under antiretroviral treatment.The standard chemoradiotherapy treatment consists of 33 sessions of radiation, one session per day from Monday to Friday for 6.5 weeks. It is combined with chemotherapy that includes mitomycin during the first and fifth weeks of radiation therapy, as well as capecitabine that are taken on the days of radiation therapy.In the experimental arm, this chemoradiotherapy treatment is preceded by 4 sessions of mDCF chemotherapy performed every 2 weeks.After treatment, patients are followed up at 8 weeks, then every 4 months for 2 years, and every 6 months for the last year with clinical examination and imaging (CT and MRI).

Colorectal cancer occurs mainly in elderly patients. Recent estimation showed that in France more than 50% of the patients diagnosed with a colorectal cancer are 70 years old or more. Adjuvant chemotherapy has demonstrated a benefit on disease-free survival and overall survival after a stage III colon cancer resection. Nevertheless adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly used in elderly patients. Prognostic improvement with chemotherapy based on 5FU is suggested by a post-hoc analysis of randomized prospective clinical trial. But elderly patients in this study were highly selected and patients older than 80 represented only 0.7% of the total population. Thus, there is still a concern about the benefit of adjuvant 5FU-based chemotherapy in very elderly unselected patients. The recommended treatment for stage III adjuvant chemotherapy is a combination of fuoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin. Nevertheless oxaliplatin did not demonstrated survival advantage in elderly patients. Altogether there are still two matters of debate: * First, is there a benefit of fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy for unfit elderly patients? * Second, is there a benefit of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for fit elderly patients? The aim of this randomized phase III study is to evaluate the benefit for disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patient and which chemotherapy. The elderly patient population will be dichotomized into two groups according to physician's choice after a multidisciplinary evaluation involving a geriatrician, with two different randomization assignments. The patients with an expected life-expectancy below 4 years according Lee score are excluded of this study. Some biological tumour abnormalities are more frequently observed in elderly (i.e. mismatch repair deficiency), therefore an evaluation of specific biological prognostic factors is needed in elderly population.

Rifampicin, is key in the treatment of staphylococcal PJIs. Rifabutin has a better profile of tolerance than rifampicin regarding the risk of interaction with concomitant medications and liver disorders. The hypothesis is that rifabutin may be an alternative antibiotic option as efficient as rifampicin for the treatment of staphylococcal PJIs, with a better safety profile. The investigator aim to demonstrate the non-inferiority of rifabutin as compared with rifampicin prescribed in combination treatment for PJIs.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) encompasses a broad range of post-thymic (i.e., mature) sub-entities as defined by the 2017 WHO classification. The most common entities are angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and other Tfh-phenotype PTCL or PTCL not otherwise specified (NOS), each representing approximately 20 to 25% of mature T- and NK/T-cell lymphomas. Compared to their B-cell counterparts, most PTCL confer dismal prognosis. In fact, except for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL), 10-year overall survival for patients with PTCL barely exceeds 30%. Given the infrequency and the heterogeneity of these malignancies, no real consensus on first-line treatment has been established for most PTCL. The place of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a consolidation procedure for patients with PTCL achieving a complete metabolic response after induction is still highly debated. ESMO recommendations and recent guidelines from a committee of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation currently propose ASCT as first-line therapy for transplant-eligible patients for all patients reaching at least a partial response (PR) after induction. NCCN guidelines (version 2.2017) recommend ASCT or observation in case of metabolic CR but salvage regimen in case of residual disease after induction.
