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 purpose of this study is to explore the effect of remote ischemic conditioning on the dynamic cerebral autoregulation in patients with intracranial and extracranial arteriosclerosis and the changes of dynamic cerebral autoregulation within 24 hours after remote ischemic conditioning.
Conventional Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery requires the patient to first undergo retrograde transurethral ureteroscopic insertion of the ureteral catheter in the lithotomy position, and then change the patient to the prone position. However, repeated operation on the ureter can bring about immediate and long-term negative effects, such as ureteral false way formation, ureteral damage, perforation, avulsion, catheter insertion into the vena cava, pricking the kidney, increased postoperative pain, urinary extravasation, scar formation, and ureteral narrowing. The study planned to perform the operation in the prone position without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter in the PCNL surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of remote ischemic conditioning on cerebral hemodynamics in patients after intravenous thrombolysis
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) patients had a proportion of secondary fractures after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Denosumab and zoledronate acid is both effective to prevent bone loss for OVCF postmenopausal women. However, trial evidence comparing effect of denosumab vs zoledronate after PVP was unknown. The study aims to assess the efficiency of denosumab vs zoledronate for OVCF patients bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers (BTMs), secondary fracture and adverse events after PVP.
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)/Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is a hematological malignancy caused by malignant transformation and clonal expansion of T-lineage precursor cells. The long-term cure rate of pediatric patients with T-ALL/LBL reaches 90%, but long-term survival of adult patients is less than 60%. Moreover, patients with high-risk factors such as PTEN/NRAS gene mutation, early T cell precursor (ETP) phenotype or positive minimal residual disease (MRD) have high rates of chemoresistance and dismal outcome. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can significantly improve the prognosis of high-risk T-ALL/LBL. Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning chemotherapy regimen is the preferred regimen for allo-HSCT in children and young adults with ALL because of lower relapse rates and satisfactory survival. Different from children, the non-relapse-related mortality (NRM) after TBI-based preconditioning in adults (especially those >35 years old) was reported as high as 38%. In addition, serious sequelae after TBI seriously affect the quality of life and non-radiation conditioning chemotherapy regimens are urgently needed for T-ALL/LBL. The reported recurrence rates after BUCY (busulfan + cyclophosphamide) conditioning regimen for T-ALL as 41.2%. -56.7% and long-term survival was only 30-50%. Thiotepa is an ethyleneimine alkylating agent with anti-tumor effects and immunosuppressive effects, thus is widely used in conditioning regimen before HSCT. Retrospective paired analysis from EBMT indicated conditioning regimen thiotepa achieved similar relapse rates, long-term survival and faster granulocyte and platelet engraftment than TBI regimen. A recent retrospective study of childhood ALL from Turkey also reported that the TBF(thiotepa + fludarabine + busulfan) regimen had a recurrence rate of only 11.9% , a non-relapse mortality rate of 14.0% and a long-term survival of 79.1%. Data from a large retrospective paired study suggested TBF regimen can significantly reduce the relapse rate of acute myeloid leukemia after the first remission (HR=0.4, CI 0.2-0.7, P = .02) without increasing treatment related deaths compared with the traditional BUCY regimen. Based on these data, we modified the TBF regimen with additional cytarabine for allo-HSCT in T-ALL/LBL with expection to reduced disease relapse and improved long-term survival.
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.
Topical and systemic steroids constitute the first choice in medical treatment for nasal polyps. Glucocorticoids sensitivity is significantly correlated with CST1 in nasal secretions. The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to clarify the efficacy of a short course of CST1-guided oral glucocorticoids therapy for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Subjects were randomized to receive either oral glucocorticoids or oral placebo for 2 weeks. Endoscopic polyp score, Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), SNOT-22 score, Cystatin 1 and other biomarkers were evaluated before and after the treatment. Researchers will compare oral glucocorticoids group and oral placebo group to test CST1 predictive model of glucocorticoid therapy for Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps.
