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.
There are nearly 2 million HBsAg-positive children who are in urgent need of professional diagnosis and treatment in China. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is the leading cause of childhood liver disease. After infected with HBV virus, some children will develop disease progression, and some even develop cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. In pediatric liver cancer cases, up to 34% ~ 95% are caused by HBV infection. Although two major classes of drugs have been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults, and there are multiple guidelines worldwide for the management of HBV infection in adults, there is lack of guidelines specifically for the management of children with HBV infection. In addition, the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children faced great difficulties due to the lack of evidence-based medical evidence for antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children and fewer drugs approved for anti-HBV treatment in children. The timing of treatment, medications, and clinical management strategies are all controversial. This study ( Sprout project)，is a multicenter, prospective, cohort study in China, aiming to explore and optimize the antiviral treatment regimen for children with HBV infection, to provide evidence-based medical for antiviral treatment, and to provide basis evidence for the standardized management of children infection with HBV in China. The study is expected to enroll 1900 pediatric patients with HBV infection, and patient will received one of the three following treatment Strategies: nucleoside monotherapy, peginterferon α- combined with nucleoside therapy, or peginterferon α-pulse therapy combined with nucleoside therapy, according to their illness state and desire, and the safety and efficacy will be evaluated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy and safety in patients with locally advanced middle and lower rectal cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:• Whether Cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy following short-course radiation can improve pathological complete response(pCR) rate? •Are the toxicities of the combination therapy manageable? Participants will be given radiation of 5 Gy for 5 days and then neoadjuvant Cadonilimab combined with modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) for 6 cycles. Without progressed disease, total mesorectal excision (TME) or transanal local excision will be performed. If clinical complete response was received, watch and wait strategy is one of choices. Adjuvant Cadonilimab plus mFOLFOX6 for another 6 cycles could be suggested for non-pCR participants,while surveillance is also suitable for pCR ones.
Intraoperative hypotension is closely related to the poor prognosis of surgery. The study is focused on the effectiveness of maintaining normal peripheral perfusion index (PPI) on time-weighted average of hypotension during anesthesia.
Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) is associated with a pathological humoral immune response against the aquaporin-4(AQP-4) water channel. Baricitinib is an oral Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor that blocks the upregulated JAK-STAT pathway in patients with neuroimmune disorders, which is important in bone marrow regulation of B cell proliferation and differentiation. Baricitinib may benefit some patients with NMOSD due to the important role of B cells in the pathogenesis of NMOSD. Clincial trials may be needed to observe its efficacy and safety.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and verify the auxiliary role of the artificial intelligence system in mediastinal ultrasound endoscopic scanning. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows: 1.The comparison of the image recognition accuracy between the artificial intelligence system and the ultrasound endoscopist; 2. Whether the artificial intelligence system can improve the efficiency of the mediastinum scanning for the ultrasound endoscopist. Participants will undergo mediastinal EUS with or without the assistance of the artificial intelligence system.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of Combined microfracture procedure promotes tendon healing during double raw repair for full tear rotator cuff. The patients with rotator cuff tear were randomly divided into groups before the operation. The patients were followed up before and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after surgery. In different time periods, the quantitative and qualitative indicators including pain, functional score, muscle strength, MRI performance, etc. were compared between groups at the same time period to evaluate the difference in the effect of Crimson duvet procedure with Greenhouse procedure on the treatment of rotator cuff.
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disease, with hyperappetite and severe obesity. At present, there is no effective drugs and interventions to help control the appetite of PWS patients. More and more evidence has shown that gut microbiota is closely related to obesity. Probiotics and prebiotics can improve the structure of gut microbiota, thus improve blood lipid levels and other biochemical indicators of obese people. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effectiveness and safety of probiotics and prebiotics in controlling appetite and weight gain of PWS children.
It is already known that lifestyle is closely related to human health, disease formation, learning and work efficiency. Although there have been relevant researches on lifestyle, there is no research on the current situation of college students' lifestyle and its correlation with their studies; In addition, how to effectively and scientifically intervene unhealthy lifestyles and observe the sustainability of the intervention effect has not been reported. Therefore, this research takes the students in Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the research object to carry out a survey, understand the current situation of their lifestyle, analyze the influence of gender, major, grade and education on their lifestyle, and explore the correlation between lifestyle and academic performance; And then the targeted intervention is to be carried out against the unhealthy lifestyle factors in order to observe the intervention effect and its sustainability
Background: Sarcopenia is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and function. Before the diagnosis of sarcopenia, a "possible sarcopenia" stage has been proposed recently, characterized by low muscle strength or poor physical performance, even with normal muscle mass. The definition of "possible sarcopenia" emphasizes the importance of early intervention. Due to the lack of effective pharmaceutical treatments, exercise is recommended as the most available intervention for sarcopenia. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), a time-efficient aerobic training, has gained increasing popularity for its benefits in physiologic outcomes such as muscle strength and physical functions in other populations. However, the benefits of HIIT have not been well-studied following older adults with possible sarcopenia. In the present study, we aim to investigate the effects of a 7-week HIIT and moderate-intensity continuous aerobic training (MICT) on physical performance in older individuals with possible sarcopenia. We hypothesize that HIIT will confer physical benefits over MICT (i.e., traditional endurance exercise) and will be generally well-tolerated in older adults. Method: The participants will be randomly allocated into the HIIT or MICT group (1:1 ratio). The participants will receive the training 3 times per week over seven weeks. HIIT consists of 5 bouts of interval training intensity with 1-minute-high intensity (76-90% HRmax) and 1-minute recovery per session (total 15 minutes with warm-up and cool-down). MICT will adopt an intensity of 65-70% HRmax training that lasts less than 30 minutes per session (total 25 minutes with warm-up and cool-down). Evaluation will be performed at baseline, after 4 weeks, and 7 weeks of the intervention. The primary outcomes include 10-meter walking test and the five-time chair stand test. The secondary outcomes include grip strength, the functional stretch test; the Exercise Enjoyment Scale and the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale for affective valence. Discussion: This is the first study to investigate the effects of low-volume HIIT on physical performance and affective valence in older adults with possible sarcopenia. This study will provide critical evidence to guide early prevention and intervention of exercise regimens for possible sarcopenia.
