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.
After thoracoscopic surgery, patients still face moderate to severe pain. How to effectively control pain and promote postoperative recovery of patients is a challenging problem. Thoracic paraspinal block is effective in controlling pain after thoracoscopic surgery, but it also carries the risk of difficulty in operation and puncture of the pleura. In recent years, erector spinal plane block and serratus anterior plane block have been used for postoperative analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore whether erector spinal plane combined with serratus anterior plane block can replace thoracic paravertebral block and provide a more complete analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery. Therefore, this study is of great clinical significance.
This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalating + dose-expansion clinical study, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEA-targeted CAR-T cell preparations, and to preliminarily observe the study drug in CEA-positive advanced malignant tumors. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of CAR-T cell preparations for the treatment of patients with CEA-positive advanced malignancies were obtained and the recommended dose and infusion schedule.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced solid tumors. Advanced solid tumors are solid cancers that may have spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes and/or to distant parts of the body and that are unlikely to be cured or controlled with currently available treatments. A new therapy available for advanced solid cancers is immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. This drug class stimulates immune cells to kill cancer cells by blocking a protein called PD-1. Although PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown benefits in treatment of cancer, only a subset of patients benefit from the initial therapy, while in others the cancer comes back. One reason could be that the ability of the patients' immune systems to kill cancer cells is weakened by so-called regulatory T cells which have a suppressive effect on the immune system. The study treatment BAY3375968 is an antibody that binds to a protein called CCR8 which is located on the surface of regulatory T cells. This leads to a reduction in regulatory T cells and further inhibits their immune suppressive activity, so that the immune response against cancer can be strengthened as observed in animal models. Animal studies also showed that BAY3375968 may add more anti-cancer effect to immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors when used in combination. All of these previous observations need to be confirmed in humans. The main aims of this study are to find for BAY3375968 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor): - how safe it is - the degree to which overt medical problems caused by the treatment(s) can be tolerated - the highest amount of BAY3375968 that can be given alone or in combination with pembrolizumab. - how it moves into, through, and out of the body. To do this, researchers will collect and analyze data about: - the number and severity of participants' medical problems after taking their treatments - the best dose of BAY3375968 that can be given - the highest level in the blood (Cmax) and the total level (AUC) of BAY3375968. Doctors keep track of all medical problems (also called adverse events) that participants have during the study, even if they do not think that they might be related to the study treatment. The researchers will also study the activity of BAY3375968 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab against the cancer. The study will have 2 parts. Part 1 (dose escalation) focuses on tumor types that respond to immunotherapy. It will help to find the best dose for BAY3375968 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab that can be given in part 2. For this, the participants will receive one specific dose of several increasing BAY3375968 doses tested in part 1. Dose escalation of BAY3375968 alone will be done prior to the dose escalation of the combination with a fixed dose of pembrolizumab. The participants of part 2 (dose expansion), will receive the best dose of BAY3375968 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab found in part 1. This part of the study focuses on certain cancer types of the lung, breast, head and neck cancer, and melanoma. The total duration of the study will be approximately 4 years and 7 months. Each participant in the study will visit the study site twice before starting their treatment. Once the treatment starts, the frequency of visits is 5 times per week in the first treatment week and 1 to 3 times per month in later treatment periods. Another visit will be scheduled for the participants within 30 days after the last treatment in the study. During the study, the study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical and vital signs examinations - examine heart health using ECG and Echocardiogram - check the tumor status and if the participants' cancer has grown and/or spread using imaging techniques - take tumor samples - ask questions about the impact of the disease on the participants' general well-being and activities of daily life. About 90 days after the participants receive their last treatment and discontinued the study, the doctors will check the participants' health. In case a new anticancer therapy has been started, medical problems will be recorded via a phone call. The study team will continue to check the participants' cancer status about every 12 weeks until their cancer gets worse, the start of a new anti-cancer therapy, or withdrawal of consent. In addition, every 6 months for up to 24 months after the last participant left the study the study team will check the participants' survival and subsequent anticancer treatment by phone until the end of this study.
The aim of the present study is to demonstrated the the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic total gastrectomy comparing with open total gastrectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the study drug recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
The presence of minimal residual disease (MRD) is an important prognostic factor for multiple myeloma, while M-protein is a widely accepted biomarker used for multiple myeloma (MM) diagnose. Detecting MRD by monitoring M-protein using mass spectrometry (MS) is promising due to its high analytical sensitivity. To evaluate the correlation between MS-MRD and overall disease burden, over 60 patients with 500+ samples were identified for this study. The M-protein sequence and the patient-specific M-protein peptides of each patient were obtained by de novo protein sequencing platform using the diagnostic serum (> 30g/L). The follow- up samples were then measured by a parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assay.
A prospective, multicenter clinical study designed to explore the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant EGFR-TKIs therapy based on MRD status in patients with stage IB-IIIB EGFR-mutant non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (non-squamous NSCLC). Primary endpoints include 3-year Disease-Free Survival rate (3y-DFS) and median disease-free survival (mDFS).
In this study, safety and effects of IPM001 injection on human hepatocellular carcinoma are going to be investigated, IPM001 is a multiple tumor-associated antigen (TAA) and neoantigen/tumor-specific antigen (TSA) sensitized autoimmune cell injection
This is a single-arm, multicenter, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of etoposide, cytarabine and PEG-rhG-CSF (EAP regimen) as first line mobilization regimen of hematopoietic stem cells in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma. All eligible patients will receive EAP regimen treatment, then the number of CD34+ cells and white blood cells will be monitoring. When the collection standard is met, hematopoietic stem cell collection will be started.
