There are about 36818 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in China. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Abstract Objective: Adebrelimab is a PD-L1 inhibitor. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adebrelimab combined with SOX regimen for preoperative neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods and analysis: This study is a prospective single-center, two-arm, double-blind and randomized controlled clinical trial designed to include 110 patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who will be randomly assigned into two groups: experimental group (adebrelimab combined with SOX regimen) (n=55) and control group (SOX regimen) (n=55). The main efficacy indicators are pathological complete response rate (pCR). The secondary efficacy indicators are R0 resection rate, safety indicators (including surgical and drug treatment safety indicators). disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Ethics: Ethics approval has been obtained from the Ethics Committee at the First Affiliated Hospital (Xijing Hospital) of Air force Military Medical University (KY20232357-F-1).
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared with dapagliflozin in improving blood sugar control in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with inadequate glycemic control using metformin. The study will last approximately 46 weeks.
The study aimed to develop and validate models to predict survival outcome and key mutations in patients with ovarian metastases of colorectal cancer, as well as to compare the differential gene expression between long-survival group and short-survival group.
This study is an early exploration clinical study with one arm. The study consists of two stages, namely the dose escalation stage and the dose extension stage:
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gene therapy drug SKG0201 Injection in patients with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 (SMA 1).
Esophageal cancer accounts for more than half of the world, seriously affecting people's health in China. 95% patients are squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery is the preferred treatment for early and middle stage esophageal cancer, but patients with clinical stage T4b or other surgical contraindications have no surgical opportunity. In recent years, radical chemoradiotherapy has played a key role in the treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer with some poor predicting biomarkers. Oral bacteria may play a pathogenic role in cancer and other chronic diseases by producing chemical carcinogens and inflammatory factors through direct metabolism. A large number of studies have also suggested that tooth loss and poor oral hygiene are closely related to upper digestive tract cancer, indicating the possible role of oral microorganisms in the occurrence and development of upper digestive tract cancer, and saliva is the main source of oral flora colonization. Therefore, it is worth further research to explore the interaction between microbial metabolism imbalance and radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer. In summary, we intend to conduct a prospective cohort study to explore the role of salivary microbes in radiotherapy in patients with initially inoperable patients with local advanced esophageal cancer.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of human mortality worldwide, imposing substantial societal and economic burdens. Traditionally, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been branded as the "beneficial" lipoprotein. The Framingham study found that for every 1mg/dl increase in HDL, the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) was reduced by 2% in men and 3% in women. Subsequent studies further affirmed the inverse correlation between HDL and the risk of CHD. However, these findings were first challenged by Mendelian randomization studies which failed to identify a causal relationship between HDL and CHD. Moreover, randomized controlled trials demonstrated that therapeutically increasing plasma HDL concentrations did not reduce the risk of CHD events, prompting doubts about HDL's status as "good cholesterol." The relationship between HDL and CHD might be more intricate than previously believed, possibly not just mediated by the quantity of HDL but also intimately linked with its function. Several cross-sectional studies have confirmed the relationship between HDL subtypes and the severity of disease in CHD patients, yet findings are inconsistent. Conventional testing methods lack a universally accepted standard for defining or describing HDL subfractions, with issues like expensive equipment, poor repeatability, cumbersome operation, slow analysis, and low throughput. Microfluidic electrophoresis technology combines the merits of electrophoresis with microfluidic chip technology. This method facilitates efficient separation of substances in microchannels on a substrate, providing rapid and consistent results. Utilizing the latest microfluidic chip technology for HDL subfraction detection offers quick, accurate, and straightforward analysis with minimal sample volume and automation. It precisely reflects the serum concentrations of HDL subfractions HDL2b and HDL3, addressing the current pitfalls of clinical HDL subfraction analysis methods. This approach is poised to become the standard method for HDL subfraction testing. In conclusion, existing studies on the association between HDL subtypes and CHD remain inconsistent, with most having a small sample size. Our study, leveraging microfluidic chip technology for HDL subfraction detection, aims to further investigate: the prognostic value of HDL subtypes for the long-term outcomes of CHD patients, building a risk prediction model for adverse cardiovascular events that includes HDL subtypes.
Patients with oligometastatic squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy combined with local therapy or PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy alone. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary end points included overall survival, side effects and local control.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DEB-TACE with visualable embolization microspheres versus PVA microspheres for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab as adjuvant therapy in node-positive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical surgery without neoadjuvant therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: • Efficacy of sintilimab as adjuvant therapy Participants will receive sintilimab 200 mg once on day 1, every 21 days(Q3W).
