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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the function of immunomodulators in reducing HIV reservoir. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are immunomodulators able to reduce HIV reservoirs? - How do immunomodulators reduce HIV reservoirs? Participants will be randomly and equally divided into three groups, one control group and two trial groups. All three groups will continue to receive antiretroviral therapy. The two experimental groups will additionally be given different immunomodulators lenalidomide and adenosylmethionine, respectively. The effectiveness of immunomodulatory agents in reducing viral reservoirs will be explored by comparing relevant indicators in the three groups.
Lung cancer is currently the world's largest malignant tumor for cancer-related deaths with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 80%-85%. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), especially the 3rd-generation EGFR-TKIs have demonstrated strong antitumor effects in EGFR-positive patients. However, approximately 20% of EGFR-positive were primarily resistant to 3rd generation EGFR-TKIs, i.e., clinical non-response or disease progression in the short term. This study aimed to clarify the molecular indicators that predict the benefits of 3-rd EGFR-TKIs as first-line therapy in NSCLCpatients with EGFR-positive. Further, to clarify their primary drug resistance mechanisms, which is of great significance for the treatment and clinical decision-making of NSCLC disease.
rTMS and MEG for auditory hallucinations via self controlled clinical trials. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can increase or decrease cortical excitability in patients with psychosis (such as schizophrenia). Here, we conducted an open clinical trial on 60 schizophrenics with auditory hallucinations. We searched for targets through magnetoencephalography and then intervened to prove that rTMS guided by magnetoencephalography is effective for auditory hallucinations.
Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. Glucocorticoids sensitivity is significantly correlated with CST1 level in nasal secretions. The goal of this single-arm clinical trial based on a multicenter platform is to test CST1 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps before and after oral glucocorticoid therapy. Endoscopic polyp score, Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), SNOT-22 score and other biomarkers are also evaluated before and after the treatment. Researchers will develop a CST1 predictive model of oral glucocorticoid therapy for Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps.
This is a multicenter, open-label study conducted in 3 phases: Dose escalation stage: The stage contain 4 cohorts, each cohort divided into 2 groups （group A, single dose and Group B, multiple dose）.Dose escalation will use a 3+3 design to evaluate escalating doses of T3011.Cohorts of three subjects will be enrolled at each T3011 dose level with expansion to six subjects, if necessary, to assess toxicity. Total enrollment will depend on the toxicities observed, with approximately 4-24 evaluable subjects enrolled in dose escalation stage. Dose extension stage: The SMC will evaluate the available safety and preliminary efficacy data and initiate dose-expansion studies for the appropriate indications Phase IIa: To explore the safety of intravenous administration and expand the study in other indications. the stage will be carried out gradually based on the data obtained from the phase I study.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth prevalent malignancy worldwide. Although surgical excision is considered the standard treatment for resectable HCC, a high rate of postoperative recurrence was observed after partial hepatectomy, with a marginal recurrence rate up to 30%. Narrow margin resection may be the most appropriate procedure for centrally located HCC because the premise for survival is the conservation of more normal liver parenchyma. Unfortunately, narrow margin resection has been reported to contribute to poor survival outcomes. However, no (neo)adjuvant therapy before (or after) hepatectomy is generally considered to be effective in reducing post-operative recurrence. Radiotherapy (RT) has been well used in many solid malignant tumors as an (neo)adjuvant to surgical treatment, including HCC. SBRT has shown encouraging rates of local control for HCC. Compared with standard fractionation radiation, SBRT can achieve more precise delivery of high-dose radiation beams to the lesion, obtaining a much smaller target volume. Meanwhile, it could be finished in a short period which can bring more convenience to patients. Recently, several study and randomized controlled trials revealed the survival benefit of adjuvant RT (IMRT and SBRT) in patients with HCC. However, there are still lack of exploration for the efficacy of neoadjuvant SBRT. This study is to analyze the safety of preoperative SBRT followed by hepatectomy for centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma.
In 2019, the number of patients with diabetes was about 463 million in the world, accounting for 8.3% of the total population, and it is expected to rise to 578 million (9.2%) by 2030 and 700 million (9.6%) by 2045. According to the WHO diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of diabetes among adults in China from 2015 to 2017 was 11.2%, of which over 90% were type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also very high, which was approximately 25% in 2016. The prevalence of NAFLD may continue to rise. NAFLD is often accompanied by clinical manifestations of metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, T2DM, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
To compare the correlation between the clinical efficacy of MECT treatment and baseline, 3 times, 8 times of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment in patients with depression and suicidal ideation. The prediction effect of -1β and IL-6 levels and level changes on the efficacy of MECT in the treatment of suicidal ideation in elderly patients with depression, and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of MECT in the treatment of elderly depression with suicidal ideation.
The aim of the current study is to assess if EUS-PPGM could predict the treatment response and outcomes of varices to endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in patients with chronic hepatitis. The hypothesis is that a high EUS-PPGM value at 3 months correlates with the presence of varices requiring EVL in patients that have received primary or secondary variceal prophylaxis on 1 year follow-up upper endoscopy.
The goal of this cohort study is to estimate the incidence of AD in the first-degree relatives of patients with AD. The main questions it aims to answer are: - cognitive changes of subjects at high risk of AD as ageing; - environmental and behavioral factors affecting AD incidence.
