There are about 10442 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Taiwan. 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.

Prostate cancers (PCA) are a heterogeneous group which include indolent tumors that has no clinical significance to very aggressive cancer that could result in morbidities and mortality. Thus, an accurate risk stratification at the time of PCA diagnosis is crucial. The histological examination of PCA biopsy specimens could not accurately predict the final tumor aggressiveness shown on radical prostatectomy specimens because of heterogeneous distributions of the most malignant tumor cells. Prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has been generally accepted to be the best imaging modality for detecting and localizing prostate cancers themselves. Furthermore, the rapid development of radiomics provide comprehensive quantitative information of all tumor data which could be used for risk stratification and prognosis prediction. Thus, this study plans to enroll 200 eligible patients who undergo prostate mpMRI first, followed by radical prostatectomy for prostate cancers. We use radiomics extracted from prostate mpMRI for risk stratification patients of histological aggressiveness as well as to predict very early recurrence of PCA patients within 6 months after radical prostatectomy.
The knowledge of the histological diagnosis and its subtype of a renal parenchymal tumor is important for determine whether the choice of a specific regimen of chemotherapy, target therapy and immunotherapy could be suitable and effective for treating this tumor. Computed tomography (CT) has been considered as an excellent imaging modality for detecting intra-tumoral fat, and most of renal angiomyolipomas (AML) could be thus confidently diagnosed on computed tomography by showing intra-tumoral fat. However, if a renal parenchymal tumor has no detectable fat in the tumor on computed tomography, there is a long list of its diagnosis including benign neoplasms as angiomyolipoma with minimal fat, oncocytoma, metanephric adenoma, etc., epitheloid angiomyolipoma (eAML) malignant potential, malignant neoplasms as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), sarcoma, malignant eAML, etc. Furthermore, there are three kinds of anticancer drug (antiangiogenetic drug, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, immune modulators, and whether the anticancer drug is effective mainly depending on subtypes of RCCs. Nonetheless, computed tomography could not reliably differentiate histological types of renal parenchymal masses except renal AMLs with abundant fat. Therefore, for patients without established diagnoses by imaging examinations, further biopsy of the renal tumor is usually mandatory to validate the histological diagnosis and subtype. Thus, this study plans to enroll 60 patients with renal parenchymal masses which show no intra-tumoral fat on computed tomography. All enrolled patients will undergo multiparametric and fat-detection magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of Dapagliflozin on the Recurrence of Atrial Tachyarrhythmia in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation. The main questions it aims to answer are: • If Dapagliflozin will reduce the recurrence of all atrial tachyarrhythmias [atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL) and atrial tachycardia (AT)] greater than 30 seconds during one-year follow-up after catheter ablation. Participants will receive Dapagliflozin (FORXIGA) 10 milligram (mg) once a day (QD) for 3 months after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Researchers will compare patients who receive usual care to see if Dapagliflozin will reduce the recurrence of all atrial tachyarrhythmias (AF/AFL/AT) during one-year follow-up after catheter ablation.
The purpose of this study is see how effective is JNJ-77242113 in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The purpose of the study is to see how effective JNJ-77242113 is in participants with plaque psoriasis affecting special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of the hands and the soles of the feet).
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of aQIV (an MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine) compared with a non-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate aQIV compared with QIV in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.
The study aims to explore the impact of advance care planning on the attitudes, behavioral intentions, hopes, and anxiety of elderly people with cancer on advance care planning with the assistance of the "Advance Care Consultation for the Elderly" manual.
This hospital-based retrospective study reviewed patients who underwent surgery for CHD between 2017 and 2020 and analyzed the clinical features and outcomes associated with airway anomalies.
Medication adherence is the primary care to stabilize the symptoms of patients with schizophrenia, but more than half of community patients still do not adhere to medication. According to the latest research of our team, the motivational interviewing may be more effective in promoting medication adherence than the insight. In the past, there was a lack of theoretical and empirical motivational interviewing and integrated medication adherence program. Therefore, the first year of this plan has completed the construction of integrated medication adherence. Considering the current lack of training and promotion of the blended learning model assisted by convenient and effective mobile technology. Aim: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated program combined with technology-assisted blended learning on motivational interviewing knowledge, motivational interviewing skills, and motivational interviewing self-efficacy for psychiatric mental health nurses.
