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.
Lung cancer has been the leading cancer worldwide, which can be divided into small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on biology, therapy, and prognosis. NSCLC accounts for more than 85% of all lung cancer cases and has a poor prognosis with only 15% of all lung cancer patients alive 5 years or more after diagnosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) originated from Chinese philosophy is a different medical system from conventional western medicine. It focuses on health maintenance and emphasizes on harmonizing the imbalance of body. Current studies show that TCM has the advantages of increasing the sensitivity of chemo- and radio-therapeutics, reducing the side effects and chemo- and radio-therapeutics associated complications, improving patients' quality of life and survival time. However, how TCM can work with conventional medicine for the treatment of carcinoma is still an important research topic worldwide. Syndrome, the essential concept in TCM theory, is a diagnostic conclusion of the pathological changes at a certain stage of a disease, including the location, cause, and nature as well as the trend of development. This study aims to investigate the distribution of TCM syndromes, the changing pattern among NSCLC patients before and after having surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and the correlations with patient quality of life and progression free survival. The results are important for establishing guidelines for TCM practice and research in future.
The purpose of this study is to prove the superiority of concurrent chemoradiation compared with radiotherapy alone in patients with low risk NK/T-cell lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that capecitabine/oxaliplatin as perioperative chemotherapy is superior or not to operation directly for locally advanced gastric cancer in terms of 3 year disease-free survival (DFS) rate.
Comparing S1 generic With Capecitabine in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-875 in Asia Pacific adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The investigators hypothesis that aneurysms and stenoses will be decreased if the direction of inserted arterial needle were same as the direction of blood flow, when compared to the opposite direction puncture.
This multicenter, randomized, adaptive Phase II/III study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) compared to standard taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) treatment in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer. At the start of the trial (stage 1), participants will be randomized with a ratio 2:2:1 to one of three treatment arms: Arm A: trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) per intravenous injection (IV) every 3 weeks; Arm B: trastuzumab emtansine 2.4 mg/kg IV every week; Arm C: standard taxane therapy (docetaxel 75 milligram per meter square [mg/m^2] IV every 3 weeks or paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2 kg IV every week per investigator choice). At the end of the first stage of the study, the dose and schedule of trastuzumab emtansine that will be used in the second stage of the study will be selected by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). The regimen selection analysis will be made after approximately 100 participants across all three study arms have been treated for at least 12 weeks. Once a trastuzumab emtansine regimen has been selected, Stage I participants who were assigned to the treatment arm which was selected for Stage II of the study and participants who were in the standard taxane group will continue to receive their assigned treatment regimen. Stage I participants who were assigned to the regimen that was not selected for further evaluation will continue to receive their assigned regimen and will continue to be followed for efficacy and safety. In Stage II of the study, additional participants will be recruited and randomized with a ratio 2:1 to either the selected regimen of trastuzumab emtansine or to the standard taxane therapy. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, initiation of another cancer therapy or withdrawal.
