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.
Patients who met the inclusion criteria were included and signed an informed consent form, which complied with the requirements of the ethics committee of our unit. All subjects were inpatients. Subjects were randomized into two groups. patients in group A were first treated with HFNC on top of conventional treatment, and after 24 hours, patients were treated with non-invasive ventilator-assisted ventilation BiPAP mode until discharge. patients in group B were treated with a non-invasive ventilator on top of conventional treatment, and after 24 hours of treatment, patients were treated with HFNC until discharge. Patient information was collected during treatment.
The reasonable combination of macronutrients including carbohydrates, proteins and fat, is the basis of rational diet and beneficial to treatment of metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Endocrine hormones play pivotal roles in regulation of nutrients metabolism and energy homeostasis. However, the dynamic metabolism following the consumption of macronutrients and the relationship between various metabolites and endocrine hormones during these procedures yet to be adequately explained nowadays. Therefore, in this study, the investigators selected glucose, protein, fat and mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) for the loading tests, endocrine hormones and metabolites were detected to profile the molecular changes in the plasma. The investigators aimed to explore the nutrient processing patterns of various macronutrients and determine the interaction between metabolic hormones and metabolites.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Mi-thos® Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System in the treatment of patients with moderate or greater mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for conventional surgery, or who are not candidates for conventional surgery.
For unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), the standard treatment at present is concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) followed by durvalumab consolidation therapy. The PACIFIC study indicated a significant benefit in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Notably, the PACIFIC trial only evaluated patients who had received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Many patients are unable to tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy because of a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and a high radiation pneumonitis risk for large tumors. Sequential chemoradiotherapy is therefore widely used in clinical practice for patients who cannot tolerate. In the preimmunotherapy era, CCRT showed a significant benefit in OS compared with sequential chemoradiation therapy, with an absolute improvement of 4.5% (from 10.6% to 15.1%) at 5 years. In the immunotherapy era, neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy resulted in significantly longer event-free survival and a higher percentage of patients with a pathological complete response than chemotherapy alone. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the ability of sequential immuno-chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy in patients with unresectable LA-NSCLC. Moreover, locoregional recurrence still remain the major causes of treatment failure in the immunotherapy era. Our previous study showed that patients with stage III NSCLC treated with hypofractionated radiation therapy(hypoRT) in doses up to 60 Gy at 4 Gy per fraction had promising survival and locoregional control rates. HypoRT may also act synergistically with immunotherapy to enhance immune responses. Thus, the investigators want to exploit the survival benefit effect of immuno-chemotherapy plus sequential hypoRT in LA-NSCLC. Based on these premises the investigators designed a single arm, phase 2 trial to determine the efficacy and safety of combining immunotherapy in association with standard chemotherapy and subsequently with hypoRT, followed by a treatment of maintenance with only immunotherapy. The study population includes patients with NSCLC not eligible for surgery. The trial aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes, disease control, and toxicities with this regimen. This study will last approximately 5 years and will include approximately 55 eligible patients.
This study intends to use Onconscreen plus 520 Panel (Burning Rock, China) to conduct NGS testing in matched tissue, blood , and bile samples of patients with Resectable Biliary Tract Carcinomas（BTC）. In order to explore thefeasibility in bile cfDNA of BTC，we will collect relevant clinical information and follow-up treatment information. This study aims to reveal the effectiveness, accuracy, and feasibility in bile, as compared to tissues and blood samples.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2618 injection combined with Penpulimab and chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of relapsed/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to Penpulimab combined chemotherapy. Progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) were the primary efficacy endpoints.
Biliary atresia is a serious congenital anomaly characterized by persistent and progressive cholestatic jaundice. The incidence of biliary atresia is more common in East Asia, especially China, with an incidence of 2 per 10,000 live births. Liver transplantation is the only effective way to treat end-stage liver disease. However, distant organ damage, affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, lungs, and intestines, is still an important factor affecting the long-term survival of children after surgery. Desflurane is a volatile anesthetic commonly used in surgery. In order to observe the effect of desflurane on the incidence of early postoperative pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) with biliary atresia who underwent living donor liver transplantation, and explore the related mechanism, a total of 165 infant patients underwent living liver transplantation due to biliary atresia from March 2023 to October 2023 are included in our single-center prospective study. They are randomly divided into propofol group (n=55), propofol and desflurane group (n=55) and desflurane group (n=55) according to the difference of intraoperative anesthesia maintenance. Gender, age, height, weight, PELD scores and other preoperative basic data are recorded. Operation time, anhepatic time and intraoperative blood loss volume are recorded. The basic information of liver donors are also recorded. Postoperative mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time, tacrolimus concentration, total length of hospital stay and mortality during hospitalization are recorded. According to the the definition of PARDS recommended by the 2015 Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference is used as the diagnostic and grading criteria for postoperative PARDS, and the incidence and grading of PARDS within the first seven days after surgery are evaluated in the three groups. Peripheral blood is collected immediately after anesthesia induction, 30min after reperfusion and at the end of surgery to detect serum levels of HMGB1, IL-6 and TNF-α by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
With a rapidly growing incidence rate and a high disability rate,The Diabetic Foot has long been difficult to treatment, which has caused a huge burden to patients and society. The blood supply disorder is one of the main reasons that lead to the morbidity and difficulty in healing of diabetes feet, but there is still a lack of particularly effective treatment to improve the blood supply of diabetes feet. Both transverse bone transport and bone marrow cell transplantation have shown some clinical effects. However, the difference in efficacy between the two has not been reported. In this study, investigators compared the therapeutic effects of these two methods on the healing of diabetes foot ulcers through a controlled clinical study.
Owing to that the previous study of the investigators showed that SBRT plus pembrolizumab and trametinib provided favorable outcomes compared with SBRT plus gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer, therefore, the investigators aim to further investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT plus another kind of immunotherapy, namely adoptive cell therapy (vNKT cell), for advanced pancreatic cancer.
Antipsychotics are prone to cause metabolic side effects, including weight gain, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and so on, leading to a 2-3 times higher risk of death in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy people. Conventional high-frequency rTMS have been used to treat people with obesity and showed certain effectiveness. However, studies involving schizophrenia patients and intermittent theta burst (iTBS) mode are rarely seen. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iTBS on ameliorating increased appetite induced by antipsychotics in people with schizophrenia.
