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.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are most terrible killers endangering the health of Chinese residents, and hypertension is the most important risk factor. Hypertension related microvascular rarefaction and endothelial dysfunction are the common pathological basis and initiation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, reducing blood pressure and delaying or reversing endothelial dysfunction is an effective way to treat hypertension and prevent cardiovascular disease. Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) is a critical metabolic intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, involves in diverse cellular biological activities, such as central metabolism, antioxidative defense, epigenetic regulation, and cell proliferation. The latest research found that with the growth of age, the level of αKG is decreasing, and increasing the content of αKG can prolong the life of multiple species including human. Recent clinical trials found that αKG supplementation can effectively improve the level of αKG in cells, delay aging, improve the metabolic process of cells without adverse reactions. However, the effect of αKG supplementation on reducing blood pressure and protecting vascular endothelial function has not been reported. Therefore, this study aims to focus on hypertension, a major chronic disease, and to observe the effects of αKG supplementation on endothelial function and blood pressure in patients with hypertension, so as to provide a new treatment strategy for hypertension and associated endothelial dysfunction.
This clinical study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a new Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) C promoter methylation detection kit. All participants will undergo a series of diagnostic tests including VCA-IgA, EBNA1-IgA, and EBV-DNA assays. Additionally, nasopharyngeal swabs will be analyzed for EBV C promoter methylation. Confirmatory biopsy will be performed on all patients to establish a definitive diagnosis. This comprehensive approach seeks to assess the effectiveness of the methylation detection kit in a clinical setting.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common and extremely critical disease in neurosurgery. The mortality rate within 30 days of the onset of SAH is as high as 50%, and about 15% of SAH patients die without reaching the hospital. Nearly half of the survivors have severe neurological dysfunction, causing a huge burden to the families and society of the patients. Recently, the introduction of the "glymphatic-meningeal lymphatic vessels" drainage system has updated the current concept of intracranial cerebrospinal fluid circulation. After subarachnoid hemorrhage, a large number of blood components flooded into the subarachnoid space and entered the cerebrospinal fluid circulation, which directly affected the function of the lymphatic-meningeal lymphatic drainage system. Many preclinical animal studies have pointed out that the damage of the lymphatic-meningeal lymphatic drainage system is involved in the aggravation of cerebral edema, neuroinflammation and hydrocephalus after SAH, which ultimately leads to poor prognosis of patients. However, at present, the changes of the glymphatic-meningeal lymphatic drainage system after SAH have only been confirmed in animal models, and clinical evidence is lacking. With the development of imaging technology, many research teams have confirmed the functional changes of the lymphatic-meningeal lymphatic drainage system in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease by using different sequences of non-invasive MRI, such as 3D T2-FLAIR, DTI-ALPS and other sequences.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can lead to serious postoperative complications, but most symptoms are mild. Clinically important PONV (CIPONV) refers to PONV symptoms that have a significant impact on the patient's well-being and recovery. Present predictive systems for PONV are mainly concentrated on early PONV. However, there is currently no suitable prediction model for delayed PONV, particularly delayed CI-PONV. This study aims to develop and validate a prediction model for delayed CI-PONV using machine learning algorithms utilizing perioperative data from patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. All 1154 patients in the FDP-PONV trial will be enrolled in this study. Delayed CIPONV is defined as experiencing CIPONV between 25-120 hours after surgery. After selecting the modeling variables from 81 perioperative clinical features, six machine learning models are established to generate the risk prediction models for delayed CIPONV. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, F1 score and Brier score are used to evaluate the model performance. Shape Additive explanation analysis was conducted to evaluate feature importance.
The goal of this prospective, observational study is to explore the value of dynamic monitoring of minimal residual lesions in driver mutated stage III NSCLC for disease recurrence and prognosis assessment. The main question it aims to answer is: 1) Whether MRD(Minimal residual disease) status can predict recurrence events in stage III driven-mutant NSCLC in advance
In China, pediatric tumors are the second leading cause of death in children. Radiotherapy is critical to the treatment of pediatric cancer, with about one-third of patients requiring it and nearly 50% for certain cancers, but young age and immature cognitive abilities pose challenges for precise positioning, leading to reliance on sedatives such as propofol or chloral hydrate, which pose health risks. Radiotherapy technicians are exploring new methods such as psychological interventions, but these methods are challenging for children aged 0-4, who account for a high proportion of pediatric cancer cases in China. Therefore, new methods for children aged 0-4 are urgently needed.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a community health management program for middle-aged and elderly patients with dry eye disease (DED). By comparing the community-based health management plan with conventional treatment, the study aims to determine the impact on eye health and quality of life.
The aim of this study is to establish a real-world clinical neuroimmune disease research cohort, to follow up and observe the prognosis of patients with different subtypes and subgroups, and to provide support for the treatment, early warning, and outcome prediction research of neuroimmune diseases.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, real-world study. There are four cohorts. Cohorts 1-3 include second-line, posterior-line, and neoadjuvant colorectal cancer patients, respectively. Cohort 4 include patients with the exception of those with pancreatic and colorectal cancer. As this study is a real-world investigation, treatment procedures, visit schedules, and examinations will be based on the routine clinical practice of physicians. Through the above cohort, the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome are comprehensively observed.
