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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with intravitreal dexamethasone implant for the treatment of idiopathic epiretinal membrane with cystoid macular oedema. The main questions it aims to answer are: - mean changes in best corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness from baseline to post-operative 24 weeks - mean change in proportion of cystoid macular oedema area from baseline to post-operative 24 weeks - intraocular pressure throughout postoperative 24 weeks - concentrations of inflammatory factors in vitreous samples Participants will undergo a standard three-port 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane peeling combined with phacoemulsification, aspiration, and intraocular lens implantation. The dexamethasone implant will be injected into the vitreous cavity at the end of the operation.
Copy number variation(CNV) refers to ongoing chromosome segregation errors throughout consecutive cell divisions. CNV is a hallmark of human cancer, and it is associated with poor prognosis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Analyzing CNV of the DNA extracted from bile samples in gallbladder seems a promising method for diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting the prognosis of patients with gallbladder cancer. CNV can be assessed using experimental techniques such as bulk DNA sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or conventional karyotyping. However, these techniques are either time-consuming or non-specific. The investigators here intend to study whether a new method named Ultrasensitive Chromosomal Aneuploidy Detection (UCAD), which is based on low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, can be used to analyze CNV thus helping diagnose gallbladder cancer and assessing follow-up.
1. The correlations of serum vitamin D level, serum calcium level and osteoporosis degree with disease severity, treatment response, incidence of Post-Herpes zoster(PHN) and disease prognosis in Herpes zoster(HZ) patients were studied. 2. To investigate the role of inflammation-related factors and immune-related factors in the occurrence and development of HZ mediated by low vitamin D level.
This study is to determine the performance of non-invasive new multi-target biomarkers in the early detection and post-operative monitoring of gastric cancer.
This is a multi-center, observational clinical study to explore the role of LIRAscore in predicting immunotherapy monotherapy and combination with chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis in locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer. The study plans to enroll 108 patients. The primary endpoint of this study was ORR, and secondary endpoints were PFS, OS, DoR, DCR, and safety.
The clinical treatment of patients with resistant/relapsed/advanced gynecological malignancies is very difficult, and the difficulty lies in the selection of effective drugs. This study was a cohort study of recurrent/drug-resistant advanced ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma and advanced/recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma treated in our hospital. A total of 20 cases were included in the proposed study group, including 12 cases of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma and 8 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Twenty patients who did not use PTC model to guide treatment at the same period were selected as controls. To compare the consistency of in vitro drug sensitivity detection results of PTC microtumor with clinical therapeutic effect, and to explore the feasibility of using PTC microtumor model to guide the treatment of patients with drug-resistant/recurrent advanced ovarian epithelial cancer or endometrial cancer. The clinical therapeutic effects of the study group and the control group were compared, and the rates of CR, PR, SD, PFS, OS and TTP were evaluated by RECIST1.1 standard. PTC models based on different clinical samples (tissue and ascites) were compared to analyze the consistency of in vitro drug sensitivity detection results and the relationship with clinical efficacy.
To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of red-light therapy for myopia control over 2 years, and the potential rebound effect after treatment cessation. The Chinese myopic children who originally completed the one-year randomised controlled trial in the previous study were enrolled. Children continued or started to daily usage of red-light therapy were defined as the RL group, while those who stopped using red-light therapy and switched to single-vision spectacles (SVS) as well as those who continued to keep single-vision spectacles in the second year were both regarded as the SVS group. Red-light therapy was provided by an at-home desktop light device emitting red-light of 650 nm and was administered for 3 min at a time, twice a day. Changes in axial length (AL) and cycloplegic spherical equivalence refraction (SER) are to be measured and compared as well as the adverse effects including the rebound effect. Red-light therapy has emerged as a novel myopia control treatment modality recently. A 12-month randomised controlled trial (RCT) conducted by our research team was thought to be earlier to evaluate the treatment of myopic children using red-light therapy. The trial demonstrated that PBM therapy was effective on myopia control, reducing axial elongation and spherical equivalence refraction (SER) progression 103% and 127% compared with single vision spectacle (SVS) over a 12-month period, respectively. The promising efficacy of red-light therapy has been further confirmed in other studies. In addition, satisfactory user acceptability and no unrecovered functional and structural damages were observed. Myopia generally progresses throughout childhood and hence a study duration of 1 year is not sufficient to widely adopt the red-light therapy as a treatment strategy for myopia control. The sustainability of treatment efficacy, rebound phenomenon upon cessation of treatment, and potential risks and adverse effects in myopic children with longer-term PBM therapy, remain to be fully elucidated. Thus, the aims of this post-trial follow-up study were to invite the participants to come back for a 24-month visit and to investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of continued red-light therapy as well as the potential rebound effect following red-light treatment cessation.
This is a Phase I/Ⅱ, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics(PD) and efficacy of a novel asymmetric trivalent tri-specific humanized antibody, MBS314, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This entry-to-human study is divided in 2 parts: a dose escalation part (Phase Ⅰa) and an expansion part (Phase Ⅰb/Ⅱ).
At present, the treatment methods for recurrent cervical cancer are very limited. The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICBs) is a promising new directions for recurrent cervical cancer, but the clinical response rate is insufficient. Pulse low-dose rate radiotherapy (PLDR) is a new technology in recent years, which uses continuous pulse low-dose rate irradiation to induce hypersensitivity in tumors, and its clinical safety has been verified. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, PLDR has advantages in protecting the lymphatic system and relieving the immune barrier, but it is still unclear whether it can improve the efficacy of ICB. This project aims to combine PLDR with ICB to explore new strategies for recurrent cervical cancer.
This study is a double-blind, randomized, controlled intervention study aimed at exploring whether high-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (Hi-tACS) can improve cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia.
