La médecine des 4 P (personnalisée, préventive, prédictive, participative) connaît un essor remarquable, et la pharmacogénétique en est un élément incontournable. Cependant, plusieurs obstacles freinent son déploiement. Cette table ronde a réuni un groupe d’experts qui ont dressé un état des lieux, tout en réfléchissant aux moyens de faciliter la prescription de ces tests et la diffusion des résultats à l’échelle nationale. Les experts se sont penchés sur les modalités de prescription et de communication des données de pharmacogénétique dans le contexte actuel, mais aussi dans les prochaines années avec l’arrivée de logiciels d’intelligence artificielle. Les questions relatives au remboursement des tests, toujours d’actualité, ont également été discutées, car il s’agit d’un levier pour permettre à tous les patients d’accéder à ces tests. De nombreuses recommandations ont été formulées sur ces différents points, visant à faciliter la maîtrise de la prescription par les professionnels de santé, tout en garantissant la conservation et l’utilisation des résultats tout au long de la vie du patient. Enfin, il a été recommandé de mieux informer les patients et de renforcer l’implication des professionnels de santé ainsi que des industriels dans cette démarche, en insistant sur la formation et l’engagement nécessaires pour assurer son succès.

La France est engagée dans une transition juridique et organisationnelle depuis de nombreuses années. Elle doit adapter son cadre national avec les nécessités juridiques de protection des données personnelles, avec les ambitions européennes et la concurrence internationale. Depuis la loi Informatique et Libertés de 1978 et jusqu’à la loi de 2019 sur la transformation du système de santé, les réformes ont renforcé les exigences en matière de protection des données personnelles, tout en ouvrant la voie à des usages innovants. Les récents règlements européens, comme l’AI Act (2024) et l’Espace européen des données de santé (2024), visent à renforcer cette dynamique, en assurant un cadre sécurisé, transparent et compétitif pour le partage et l’utilisation des données de santé.

In line with the spirit of the Giens workshops, this article reports on the recommended evolution of the Ethics Committees (CPPs) and the Committees for Research Ethics (CER) in France. These committees play a crucial role in the ethical evaluation of clinical research projects, a process that has become more complex, particularly in view of recent legislative, regulatory and methodological developments. This reflection highlights the current challenges faced by the CPPs, including the increasing workload, the complexity of the issues to be addressed and the need for better use of their resources. To address this, several recommendations are proposed. These include improving support to sponsors prior to submission, simplifying administrative tasks for CPP members and improving IT tools. The article also highlights the need for continuous evaluation of the activities of the CPPs to contribute to the quality and consistency of their opinions, as well as the importance of making this activity more attractive to qualified professionals, by offering them adequate compensation and professional recognition. For the benefit of all involved in health research, there is a strong desire to develop a single document management system accessible to all and inclusive of relevant information and document templates. Regarding the CERs, which currently operate without a legal framework, the proposition is that their development should take place under conditions of compliance with essential principles of collegiality, transparency and appropriate management of conflict of interest. Finally, it appeared necessary that the National Commission for Research Involving the Human Person (CNRIPH) be given adequate resources to carry out its tasks effectively, including the coordination of the CPPs and the development of appropriate training programs for their members. These recommendations aim to improve the operating conditions of the CPPs and CERs, ensuring the ethics of the research undertaken, as well as the quality of their results.

In France, the short-stay activities of public and private sector healthcare facilities have been financed since 2004 by activity-based pricing (T2A). The principle is to allow for payment determined primarily by the nature and volume of activities. T2A has enabled a major transformation compared to the old financing system, chiefly for public sector facilities that used to operate under a general allocation, and convergence between payment methods in the public and private sectors. However, official reports and public pronouncements by many hospital healthcare stakeholders have also highlighted the limits of this method of financing, leading to several reform projects. With that in mind, round table 3 of the Giens Workshops, including experts from academia and/or hospitals, institutions, and industry, questioned the impact of the new T2A reforms on access to innovative health care products in hospitals. After scoping out the issue and drawing up observations, the round table proposed six general recommendations that would be avenues for improving access to innovative health care products for hospital service users.

France has been engaged in a legal and organisational transition for many years. It has had to adapt its national framework to the legal requirements of personal data protection, European ambitions and international competition. From the Data Protection Act of 1978 to the Healthcare System Transformation Act of 2019, reforms have strengthened requirements in terms of personal data protection, while opening the way to innovative uses. Recent European regulations, such as the AI Act (2024) and the European Health Data Area (2024), aim to reinforce this dynamic, ensuring a secure, transparent and competitive framework for the sharing and use of health data. How can we ensure that the re-use of healthcare data is truly effective, while respecting the fundamental rights of citizens? How can we reconcile national and European ambitions with the technical and organisational realities of the healthcare system, in clinical and research teams, and as close as possible to patients and users in our territories? These questions are essential, because access to and use of health data are seen as major levers for improving the quality of care, supporting innovation and boosting the competitiveness of the French healthcare system. The impact study on the 2019 reform stresses that the transformation of the healthcare system will have to be based on taking better account of the needs of patients and professionals by encouraging local initiatives. In this context, France faces a priority to establish greater coordination between the national and local levels, while preserving the trust of users. This precious trust is essential if we are to make the transition to achieving national and European objectives for the scientific and economic use of data.

Objective: Metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) is a rare but serious adverse drug reaction (ADR). The aim of the study was to identify clinical situations associated with the onset of MALA in patients hospitalised in the Nord Pas de Calais regional intensive care units (ICUs), and to assess its preventability.
Material and methods: We included all cases of MALA, identified by metformin accumulation >2.3mg/dL and lactate >2.2mmol/L, reported by the regional ICU physicians to the Regional Centre of Pharmacovigilance and registered in the French Pharmacovigilance Database between 1 January 2017 and 30 December 2018.
Results: One hundred and ninety-eight (198) cases of MALA were included. 38 patients died in direct association with MALA (19.2%). There was a correlation between metformin plasma accumulation and acute renal failure and with the severity of MALA (P<0.0001). All patients presented an acute intercurrent event favouring MALA, dehydration for 87 (43.9%) patients, severe infection for 65 (32.8%) patients. For 172 patients (86.7%), the prescription was not adapted to the intercurrent medical situation as recommended. Seventy (40.5%) patients consulted their general practitioner for the acute intercurrent event, 1 temporarily stopped metformin and 34.3% had been referred directly to hospital. The remaining 65.7% presented to the hospital around 4 days later due to worsening symptoms. MALA was identified as preventable in 160 patients (80.8%).
Conclusions: MALA in ICUs often follow acute dehydration or infection, and these high-risk situations must be signals to prevent this serious ADR. Specific education programmes for physicians and patients could also reduce this risk.

The drug authorization process is shifting towards a policy aimed at shortening time-to-market. While this policy facilitates early access to new treatments, it can also result in potentially insufficient knowledge of both efficacy and safety at the time of marketing. The latter is particularly true for long-term outcomes or in specific populations (e.g., children and the elderly). Yet, French pharmacoepidemiology is currently not designed to address these challenges, despite recognized expertise. In this context, we aim: (i) to define a strategy for strengthening pharmacoepidemiology in France; and (ii) to identify the associated human, technical, and financial requirements to ensure its success. In this paper, we present the French Pharmacoepidemiology Initiative (https://frenchpharmacoepi.org/), i.e. a network of independent academic teams to complement existing institutions. It will provide coordinated expertise and a workforce to meet national and regional needs for pharmacoepidemiological monitoring and drug-related decision-making. Leveraging the existing expertise of university hospital pharmacoepidemiology units would enable rapid operational deployment to inform the decisions and policies of national regulatory agencies.
