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.
Patients with severe aortic stenosis combined with severe heart failure often miss the opportunity for surgery, and the prognosis is poor with drug therapy alone.In recent years, the emergence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has brought new hope for these patients, and since its birth in 2002, TAVR has been widely used internationally, and its safety and efficacy have been confirmed by several large, prospective, randomized controlled studies. Levosimendan is a new type of positive inotropic drug. It not only enhances myocardial contractile force through calcium sensitization, but also activates K+ sensitive channel KATP on the membrane of vascular smooth muscle, relaxes the arteries and veins of the whole body, and reduces the front and back load of the heart, pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance. A series of studies suggested that for patients undergoing thoracotomy in various cardiac surgeries, regardless of whether the patients were accompanied by ventricular systolic dysfunction before surgery, the use of levosimendan resulted in significantly higher postoperative cardiac function and decreased mortality than the control group, and patients with preoperative LVEF < 40% benefited more. At present, there are no studies to clarify the regulatory effect of levosimendan on cardiac function after TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis complicated with cardiac insufficiency. This is a randomized controlled study. On the basis of basic drug therapy, the treatment group was given levosimendan to analyze the regulatory effect of levosimendan on cardiac function after TAVR.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluating myocardial stiffness in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by intrinsic wave velocity propagation (IVP). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether myocardial stiffness assessed by IVP in patients with HFpEF Increased. - Whether IVP is related to the cardiac structure and function in patients with HFpEF. - What are the risk factors that may be associated with heart failure rehospitalization in patients with HFpEF? - Whether increased myocardial stiffness is a risk factor for heart failure rehospitalization. Participants will undergo transthoracic echocardiography to obtain conventional ultrasound parameters, and software post-processing analysis to obtained two-dimensional strain parameters and IVP, as well as general clinical data and laboratory test results. Clinical followed up was performed through electronic medical records or telephone interviews until patient rehospitalization for heart failure or discharge for one year.
This study aims to employ a longitudinal tracking research to investigate the effects of a visual perspective taking intervention on the development of theory of mind in children with autism. Additionally, the investigators seek to examine modifications in the neural mechanisms linked to facial emotion recognition in children both before and after intervention by using the functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to record the relative changes in blood oxygen levels in the cerebral cortex with the oddball Face-Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS) paradigm.
The investigators assume that transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) could improve gambling disorder patients' executive-control function by adjusting the synchronization patterns and enhancing the functional connectivity of the prefrontal-ventral striatum pathway. This study intends to test the effect of tACS treatment. Three-month follow-up assessment will be conducted to test the changing of the executive-control function and its mechanism.
This is a first-in-man study to investigate the feasibility and safety profile of the newly developed robotic system for percutaneous transhepatic interventional procedures, including biopsy and ablation. Participants who were clinically assessed in need of a liver lesion puncture were included in this study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to observe the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab monotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for TPS ≥ 50% non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of short course radiotherapy followed by fruquintinib combined with Sintilimab as the first-line treatment of advanced mCRC compared to bevacizumab combined with capecitabine in patients unfit for intensive therapy.
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are the major causes of death in patients with acute aortic syndrome (AAS). Therefore, the prevention of SIRS and MODS is of great clinical value, and immunomodulatory therapy with sivelestat may be beneficial. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the administration of sivelestat during the acute phase of AAS will result in a reduced incidence of SIRS and MODS.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy combined with PD-1 blockers for LAPC and LRPC. The patients, diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) or locally recurrent pancreatic cancer (LRPC). LRPC or LAPC, undergoing SABT and PD-1 blockers in our hospital from December 2020 to April 2023 were reviewed consecutively. All patients provided written informed consent before treatment. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and it was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of Peking University Third Hospital.
This is a retrospective and prospective real-world clinical study of molecular typing in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer. The retrospective study : Patients with advanced thyroid cancer who received precise treatment in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrieved. The number of previous treatment lines was not limited. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic information, clinical characteristics, tumor treatment history, medication regimen, adverse reactions, molecular test results, survival follow-up results and other data were collected. The prospective study : Patients with advanced thyroid cancer who received precise treatment in our hospital from January 2024 to April 2027 were enrolled.
