This is a Phase III, international, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded placebo controlled trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of ADT +/- darolutamide in castration-naïve de novo metastatic prostate cancer patients with vulnerable functional ability who have not elected for docetaxel or other androgen receptor pathway inhibitors. The study plans to enroll 300 patients who will be randomized (1:1) to receive either: (i) Experimental arm: ADT + darolutamide 600 mg po bid, or (ii) Control arm: ADT + placebo po bid. Response to treatment will be assessed according to the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria (Scher, 2016). Treatment will be continued until radiographic disease progression. Treatment may also be terminated at the initiative of either the patient or the investigator for any reason that would be beneficial to the patient, including: unacceptable toxicity, intercurrent conditions that preclude continuation of treatment, or patient request. Following treatment discontinuation patients will enter the follow-up period and will be monitored for up to 10 years with regards to survival status, subsequent antineoplastic treatments and the status of ongoing adverse events (AEs) and/or new investigational product related AEs.

Double blind controlled study versus placebo. Patients with suppurated CSD's lymphadenitis will receive immediately after the pus aspiration (performed for a diagnostic purpose) an intra-nodal injection of gentamicin or of placebo (NaCl 0,9%) and be treated with oral azithromycin for 5 days.

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.

There is a great heterogeneity in the practice of rapid sequence induction in the operating room in the world. There are no recent data assessing the rate of implementation of the latest French formalized expert recommendations in clinical practice. In addition, the modalities for the management of haemodynamic disorders, particularly hypotensive disorders, during rapid sequence induction are not described in these recommendations, although these are frequent events with a non-zero morbidity mortality potential. The goal of this prospective, observational, multicenter, anesthetic study is to describe the clinical practice of French anesthesiologists regarding the prevention of severe hemodynamic disorders during rapid sequence anesthetic induction in adult patients. The primary outcome measure is the occurrence of a major haemodynamic disorder defined by a MBP ≤ 50 mmHg (or ≤ 40% of the reference value) and/or ≥ 110 mmHg and/or the occurrence of sustained arrhythmia not present at induction and/or cardiac arrest within the first 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia. The clinical practices of pre-oxygenation, induction and intubation of French anesthesiologists and compliance with the formalized expert recommendations of 2017 and 2018 will also be studied secondarily. The elements for the prevention of gastric fluid inhalation, the organization and equipment used, the anesthetic and non-anesthetic drugs used, the clinical and paraclinical neurological and cardio-respiratory parameters and the nature of the complications following anaesthetic induction will be collected up to the 10th post-induction minute.
