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.
This study is designed to rigorously evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as an innovative, non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM). HOCM, a prevalent cardiac condition, is primarily characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy, which results in the obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. This obstruction significantly compromises patient quality of life and is associated with severe risks, including arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. While current treatments like medications, surgical septal myectomy, and percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) have proven to be effective, they are not without limitations. SBRT, a recent development in non-invasive cardiac radioablation, has shown encouraging results in early-stage studies, suggesting its potential as a safe and feasible option for HOCM treatment. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to either the SBRT treatment group or a control group receiving a sham procedure. The primary objective is to measure the change in the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient under provoked conditions, using cardiac ultrasound at a 6-month follow-up. This will provide a clear assessment of the direct impact of SBRT on the primary physiological complication of HOCM. The study also sets forth several secondary objectives to provide a holistic view of the treatment's impact. These include evaluating changes in NYHA functional classification and KCCQ scores to assess improvements in symptom severity and quality of life, respectively. Additionally, we will monitor physical capacity through the 6-minute walk test, and biomarkers like NT-proBNP and cTNT for cardiac stress and damage. The effect of SBRT on QRS duration will be analyzed to understand its impact on cardiac electrical activity. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 6 months post-treatment will be recorded to evaluate safety, and the need for invasive septal reduction therapy post-treatment will be assessed to gauge long-term efficacy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential of SBRT as a treatment alternative for HOCM. By comparing its outcomes with those of traditional therapies, the study seeks to establish SBRT's role in symptom alleviation, quality of life enhancement, and risk reduction in HOCM management.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the kidney with a high mortality rate. Traditional imaging techniques are limited in capturing the internal heterogeneity of the tumor. Radiomics provides internal features of lesions for precise diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and personalized treatment planning. Early and accurate diagnosis of renal tumors is crucial, but it's challenging due to morphological and pathological overlap between benign and malignant lesions. The accurate diagnosis of RCC, especially for small tumors, remains a significant challenge. Recent studies have shown a relationship between body composition, obesity, and renal tumors. Common indicators like body weight and BMI fail to reflect body composition accurately. Research on the role of body composition, including adipose tissue, in tumor pathology could improve clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.
Previous studies have found that the suicide risk of cancer patients is influenced by socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics, and environmental factors. But prediction model with multiple predictors for suicide risk in cancer patients is limited. The aim of this study is to assess the association of socioeconomic factors, clinical characteristics and meteorological factors with cancer patients' suicide, based on retrospective cohorts, and to establish a suicide risk prediction model with multiple predictors for cancer patients.
This is a multicenter, open phase Ib/II clinical study, which is divided into two phases: dose exploration and efficacy expansion. Participants entering the study will receive HRS-8080 combined with Dalpiciclib Isethionate Tablets therapy.
This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a single injection of NouvNeu001 (Human Dopaminergic Progenitor Cells Injection) in patients with Parkinson's disease.
To explore the effect of Internet + combined family empowerment management mode on treatment compliance of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the correlation between psychological status and disease progression.
This is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of SG2918 in subjects with Advanced Malignant Tumors who are refractory or resistant to standard therapy, or without available standard or curative therapy.
There is a rise in the prevalence of end-stage liver disease during the last decade. End-stage liver disease has become one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. However, the shortage of donor, high cost, and postoperative complications limit its wide application in clinical practice. At present, stem cell-based therapy has been developed as an alternative treatment for end-stage liver disease. Stem cells can be differentiated into a variety of cell types, and stem cell transplantation, mainly umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells, has attracted more and more attention in the treatment of end-stage liver disease. The investigators therefore conduct a randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord tissue mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of end-stage liver disease.
The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the factors influencing in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by self-antibodies targeting desmogleins. The study included 96 pemphigus patients hospitalized in China between January 2014 and December 2020. The primary questions addressed by the study were: What are the risk factors associated with in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus? Participants in the study underwent a retrospective analysis using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify and understand the various risk factors contributing to in-hospital relapse. This research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the factors influencing the course of pemphigus, providing crucial information for better management and treatment strategies.
This is an observational study of patients with lupus nephritis aiming to find biomarkers that can predict patients' response to immunosuppressants. We planed to collect 100 lupus nephritis patients' peripheral blood,kidney tissues and urine before and after treatment (mycophenolate mofetil or cyclophosphamide, in combination with glucocorticoids). Then multi omics analysis, including single cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and CITE-seq, will be performed to find new biomarkers for patients' response and prognosis.
