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.
Thirty years ago, Dzau and Braunwald introduced the concept of a continuum of cardiovascular diseases and defined them as a series of events caused by numerous related and unrelated risk factors, thus developing to end-stage heart disease through many pathophysiological pathways and processes. Owing to treatment concept changes and the urgency of investigating T2D combined with CHF, SUs are being re-evaluated, of which glimepiride is undoubtedly the most promising.
Detecting the cause of keratitis fast is the premise of providing targeted therapy for reducing vision loss and preventing severe complications. Due to overlapping inflammatory features, even expert cornea specialists have relatively poor performance in the identification of causative pathogen of infectious keraitis. In this project, the investigators aim to develop an automated and accurate deep learning system to discriminate among bacterial, fungal, viral, amebic and noninfectious keratitis based on slit-lamp images and evaluated this system using the datasets obtained from mutiple independent clinical centers across China.
Recently, new high-dose radiation therapy [e.g., boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)] absorbed into the tumor tissue has been applied to treat patients with solid tumors. Here we examine and describe how to evaluate the biological activity of tumors using positron emission tomography (PET) with fluoride-labeled boronophenylalanine (F-BPA) as a tracer.
Heart failure is a chronic disease that spans the home as well as the outpatient and hospital Settings and requires multidisciplinary, continuous disease management. Heart failure management emphasizes seamless connection from admission to return to the family, so as to improve the efficiency of resource use. Early preventive intervention, timely and reasonable drug treatment, integration of effective medical resources, and establishment of A sound and effective management model should be carried out for the population with high risk factors of heart failure (heart function stage A), so as to delay the occurrence and development of heart failure and further avoid the occurrence of malignant cardiovascular events. Therefore, this project aims to establish a "special-general-community-family" chain quality control model with the "general practice department" as the core for patients with chronic heart failure in general hospitals, so as to provide them with a full life cycle, multidimensional, concise and efficient quality control management.At present, the situation of heart failure prevention and treatment in China is grim and the challenge is huge. Heart failure complicated illness, drug dosage adjustment characteristics of professionalism, its emphasis on guide oriented treatment, and should pay attention to individual, need of specialized subject doctor, general practitioners, community doctors and family personal collaborative to maximize the optimal management of patients with chronic heart failure, follow the classification diagnosis and treatment, two-way referral is helpful to improve the long-term prognosis of patients with. At present, HF management has received increasing attention, how to choose a more reasonable, effective and economic management mode is still a problem of disagreement.
It is a prospective interventional randomized controlled single center trial. The goal of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of smart soup on cognition, behavior, biomarkers and safety in Alzheimer's disease (aMCI and dementia).
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.
Pain is an increasingly recognized non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), with significant prevalence and negative impact on the quality of life of patients. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex（M1）has been proposed to provide definite analgesic effect for pain syndromes. However, very few placebo-controlled studies have been performed specifically to relieve pain in PD. What's more, based on behavioral measures alone, it is impossible to reveal the full network dynamics reflecting the impact of TMS. Electroencephalography (EEG), with high temporal resolution, records signal that its origin in electrical neural activity, which makes it suitable for measuring TMS-evoked activation. By recording the TMS induced neuronal activation directly from the cortex, TMS-EEG provides information on the excitability, effective connectivity of cortical area, thus exploring cortical network properties in different functional brain states. In addition, the use of EEG offers great prospects as a tool to select the right patients in order to achieve adequate, long-term pain relief. Besides assessing the efficacy and safety of high-frequency neuronavigated M1-rTMS in PD patients with musculoskeletal pain, the objective of this study additionally aimed to characterize cortical activation behind pain relief. Influence on motor and other non-motor symptoms after rTMS were also investigated.
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that, for older orthopedic patients who developed postoperative delirium, combining buccal acupuncture with routine care will shorten delirium duration and relieve delirium severity.
