CIC Inserm 1406 - Grenoble

Who are we ?

The Grenoble Clinical Investigation Center (Inserm CIC1406, coordinated by Pr Alexandre Moreau-Gaudry) comprises two modules, the Plurithématique module (coordinated by Pr Matthieu Roustit) and the Innovations Technologiques module (coordinated by Pr Alexandre Moreau-Gaudry). The multi-thematic module is developing part of its research on innovative methodologies in clinical research and pharmacoepidemiology, led by Pr Matthieu Roustit and Dr Charles Khouri.

The CIC's work and methodological contributions concern in particular:

•     Individual randomized trials (n-of-1) (Roustit, Ann Intern Med 2018; Giai, Stat in Med 2023)
•     externally controlled trials (Cucherat, Therapie 2020; Larrouquere, CPT 2020)
•     Analysis of disproportionality signals (Renoud, JAMA Intern Med 2021; Khouri, JCE 2021a; Mouffak, JCE 2021; Khouri, JCE 2021b)
•     Platform trials (Roustit, Therapie 2022)
•     Placebo response (Roustit, Semin Arthritis Rheum 2022)
