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.
Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer has become a new treatment recommendation, but there are still many clinical problems to be solved in postoperative adjuvant immunotherapy. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of adjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy in patients with stage IIA-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer after surgery. Patients who meet the protocol and sign the informed consent form received 4 cycles of chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab, followed by maintenance with camrelizumab until one year or the disease progressed or unacceptable toxicity.
The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections have gradually increased over the years worldwide (1-3). In China, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) was the most prevalent NTM specie (4), while challenged by long treatment duration, frequent drug-induced adverse events, lack of treatment alternatives, poor treatment outcome and high recurrence rate (5, 6). In order to maximize the efficacy of the few available drugs and prevent the development of drug resistance, ensuring adequate plasma drug concentrations are of importance. Despite the role of pathogen susceptibility, determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), is non-negligible, the evidences regarding its association with treatment outcome are limited, especially for rifamycin and ethambutol. The difficulties in explaining the clinical values of MIC might partially be attributed to the lack of in vivo drug exposure data, which cannot be accurately predicted by the dose administered because of between-patient pharmacokinetic variability (7). Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a strategy to guide and personalize treatment by measuring plasma drug concentrations and pathogen susceptibility, which might have the potential to improve treatment response to MAC lung disease. In this observational study, the hypothesis is that the drug exposure and/or MIC of antimycobacterial drugs are correlated to the treatment response of MAC lung disease, which is assessed from the perspective of treatment outcome, mycobacterial culture negative conversion, lung function, radiological presentation and self-reported quality of life. Consenting adult patients with culture-positive MAC lung disease will be recruited in study hospital. Respiratory samples (sputum and/or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) will be collected regularly for mycobacterial culture on the basis of BACTEC MGIT 960 system and MIC will be determined using a commercial broth microdilution plate. Drug concentrations will be measured at 1 and/or 6 months after treatment initiation using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The final treatment outcome is recorded at the end of MAC treatment and defined according to an NTM-NET consensus statement (8).
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic transmural inflammatory bowel disease. Prolonged episodes of inflammation can lead to intestinal fibrosis, leading to intestinal stenosis and obstruction. Inflammatory stenosis can be alleviated through anti-inflammatory treatment, while fibrotic stenosis requires endoscopic dilation or surgical treatment. Early detection of the presence and severity of intestinal fibrosis in CD is the key to treatment strategies. Currently, there are certain limitations in the non-invasive evaluation methods for intestinal fibrosis, and it is urgent to develop a new imaging method to achieve non-invasive diagnosis of the degree of fibrosis. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a marker of intestinal fibrosis in CD. Based on the principle that fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) can specifically bind to FAP, FAPI radioactive tracers can achieve targeted tracing and quantification of FAP in vivo. Therefore, 18F-FAPI positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technology has a good application prospect in the noninvasive diagnosis and evaluation of CD intestinal fibrosis. Based on the successful testing of 18F-FAPI PET imaging in the early stage of the project team to evaluate the nature of CD intestinal stenosis, this project intends to take patients with CD intestinal stenosis as the research object, and use postoperative histopathological analysis as a reference index to evaluate the role of 18F-FAPI combined with 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG) PET imaging in the qualitative diagnosis of CD intestinal wall fibrosis, as well as the differential diagnosis ability of inflammatory and fibrous stenosis in CD patients, and establish a diagnostic model and evaluation system. Achieving a noninvasive, stable, and objective diagnosis and evaluation of the degree of intestinal fibrosis in CD patients at the molecular level will provide imaging evidence for treatment decision-making, progress, and prognosis of CD patients, and also play an important support role in the development of anti fibrosis drugs, selection of suitable patients, and efficacy evaluation.
It's a phase III, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) for heart failure (HF) patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension associate with left heart disease (PH-LHD) by right heart catheterization.
The objective of this single-center prospective observational study is to clarify the trend of maternal serum 25(OH)D levels before pregnancy and during pregnancy, and to explore the correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and subsequent pregnancy outcomes of patients with abortion, so as to provide certain scientific evidence for finding the optimal serum level of 25(OH)D and optimal vitamin D supplementation to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
The Phase Ib study was designed to evaluate the safety of JS109 in combination with irinotecan in the treatment of advanced solid tumors and to determine the Phase II recommended dose (RP2D). The Phase II study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen in patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) that failed first-line platinum-containing regimen.
The purpose of this study was to explore the changes of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer (LATC) receiving TKI drugs (anlotinib, lenvatinib, etc.).
Patients with type 2 diabetes who have poor blood glucose control are enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the HbA1c prediction model for adjust the hypoglycemic treatment regimen, compared with the conventional treatment using self-monitoring blood glucose or glycated albumin.
