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 aims to research on the relationship between constitutional varus knee and patellofemoral pain. The standardized standing whole-lower-extremity radiographs, the knee lateral view and skyline view of the participants will be taken. The hip-knee-ankle angle will be obtained from the radiographs. According to the hip-knee-ankle angle, the knees will be labelled knee varus or knee nonvarus. The knee varus incidences of the two groups will be determined and compared.
The primary purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of canakinumab versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages II -IIIA according to the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the subset of IIIB (T>5cm N2 disease) completely resected (R0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab versus placebo in participants with early (prodromal to mild) AD. All participants must show evidence of beta-amyloid pathology. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either subcutaneous (SC) injection of gantenerumab or placebo. The primary efficacy assessment will be performed at the end of the double blind period at week 116. Participants will then be offered to enter into an open-label extension (OLE). Participants not willing to go to the OLE will participate in a long term follow-up period for up to 50 weeks after the last gantenerumab dose.
This is a multicenter, pilot RCT study, aiming to compare intensive dosage and regular dosage of PD for AKI patients with indications for dialysis. Aims of the study are to: Examine the feasibility of the study, which aims to determine the efficacy and safety of intensive PD dose for AKI patients as compared to regular PD dose. Establish the appropriate workflow for PD treatment for AKI patients.
This study is being done to learn more about evolocumab in Chinese people with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. This study will see if evolocumab will reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in Chinese people who are also taking a certain type of lipid-lowering medication (statins with or without ezetimibe) and whether it causes any side effects.
This trial is a prospective, randomized, single-center, open-label, parallel-arm, blinded-analysis trial, the objective of which is to evaluate the effect of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (TMQLB) in the pain relief and quality of recovery in laparoscopic renal surgery compared with thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB).
Therapeutic bronchoscopy is a common procedure to treat respiratory diseases. The procedure includes stent implantation, bronchus dilation, electronic incision, laser therapy, and so on. Most of these procedures are painful and require general anesthesia. Conventionally, the general anesthesia for therapeutic bronchoscopy was performed using laryngeal mask. But in the previous experiences, the investigators found that sedation with dexmedetomidine and remifentanil was as effect as laryngeal mask anesthesia. The present study was performed to compare the two approach for sedation or anesthesia in therapeutic bronchoscopy.
Diagnostic bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure performed to diagnose respiratory diseases. But pain has been complained by most of the patients receiving such procedures. Sedation or anesthesia was required by both of the patients and bronchoscopists. Unfortunately, no consensus has been made upon the sedation strategies. Multiple sedation approaches have been applied, such as midazolam and fentanyl, remifentanil and propofol, dexmedetomidine and propofol. The present study was designed to compare these protocols in sedation for diagnostic bronchoscopy.
In colorectal surgery, hand suturing and stapling are routine methods for performing intestinal anastomoses, and these methods appear to be similar in terms of clinical safety. Despite several years of experience with surgical procedures as well as improvements to the medical devices, problems with disturbed anastomotic healing leading to leakage and stenosis after colorectal surgery remain a significant challenge for surgeons. A frequency of anastomotic leakage after stapling or suturing has been reported to range from 3% to 20%. In addition, preoperative radiotherapy has been shown to increase the risk of anastomotic leakage even further. The methods that are used today to detect leakages are unfortunately inaccurately and limited to monitoring symptoms, temperature, CRP-levels, and performing abdominal examinations and CT-scans. These clinical signs and parameters usually become apparent several days after onset of the leakage, which leads to a delayed diagnosis. Anastomotic leakage is not only a significant cause of increased morbidity of complications and mortality in patients, but also associated with increased risk of local recurrence and poor prognosis. Moreover, when reoperation is required to fix the leakage, a permanent stoma may be made at the level of the sigmoid colon and this procedure impacts live quality of patients negatively. Based on the above considerations, a novel, adaptive anastomotic method has been developed by CarpoNovum to achieve a safer anastomosis. The method's working name is C-REX Ring-locking Procedure. C-REX is referred to our Colorectal anastomotic rings for Re-join the intestinal ends and validate the anastomosis, with function of Extract samples for analysis and conduct X-ray through connected catheters. The novel adaptive anastomotic medical devices, C-REX LapAid and C-REX DMH/DMHC are easy to use, with unique possibility to control the anastomosis during and after surgery. The previous successful preclinical study encourages a clinical verification in patients undergoing colonic resection to evaluate the safety and performance of C-REX Ring-locking Procedure by use of C-REX LapAid and C-REX DMH/DMHC.
The primary objective of this study was to show superiority in the treatment of HMB of vilaprisan in subjects with uterine fibroids compared to placebo. The secondary objectives of this study were to additionally evaluate the efficacy and safety of vilaprisan in subjects with uterine fibroids.
