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 project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital, Shandong University and other several well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of Rituximab in different frequencies for the treatment of adults with steroid-resistant/relapsed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
The study is designed to investigate the effect of adjuvant therapy by Sorafenib, Oxaliplatin and S-1 to prevent the tumor recurrence for hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation
Heart attack is the leading cause of death in the developed world. Following heart attack, re-establishing blood flow in a clogged heart vessel using percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard of care. This therapy is called reperfusion therapy. Unfortunately, reperfusion therapy itself poses additional heart muscle damaging effect, a process called reperfusion injury. Excessive reperfusion injury can offset the net benefit of heart vessel blood flow restoration in patients with heart attacks. For those heart attack survivors, massive reperfusion injury can contribute to heart failure which carries high risk for death and long-term disabilities. To date, there is no drug available that can reduce reperfusion injury in heart attack patients. Our group has demonstrated in a preclinical study that combining two available medications (milrinone and esmolol) when given right before the onset of reperfusion therapy greatly reduces heart muscle damage in an animal heart attack model. Furthermore, in a clinical safety, we demonstrated that combination therapy with milrinone and esmolol is safe in patients with heart attack undergoing PCI. If the heart-protective effect observed in our preclinical study can be replicated in human subjects, this proposed therapy will become the first of this kind to treat clinical reperfusion injury. The present trial is a proof-of-concept study to determine whether the combination administration of milrinone and esmolol at the onset of reperfusion reduces the heart muscle damage in heart attack patients who receive reperfusion therapy with PCI.
The aim of this study is to assess the beneficial effects of Bifidobacterium Hydrochloride and Berberine on lowering glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to detect the potential mechanism.
The aim of this study is to assess the beneficial effects of Bifidobacterium and Berberine Hydrochloride on lowering glucose and delaying progress to diabetes in patients with prediabetes and to detect the potential mechanism.
Nimotuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),has been shown to be effective and safe in some studies with head-neck cancers.Nab-paclitaxel regimen in advanced NSCLC has a better tumor response rate and safety than solvent-based paclitaxel.However,the safety and efficacy of Nimotuzumab plus nab-paclitaxel regimen is uncertain in neoadjuvant therapy in esophageal cancer.The investigators then initiated a phase II clinical trial with Nimotuzumab plus Nab-paclitaxel/cisplatin as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.
There have been reports suggesting that anti-epidermal growth factor antibody nimotuzumab is advantageous for advanced esophageal cancer patients in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.And,albumin-bound paclitaxel was characterized with high tolerated doses with greater efficacy,and with greater concentration in tumor tissue compared with normal tissues.So,The objective of this single-arm phase II trial was to evaluate the benefit of nimotuzumab plus nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma.
Albumin-bound paclitaxel regimen in advanced NSCLC has a better tumor response rate and safety than solvent-based paclitaxel. However, the safety and efficacy is uncertain in neoadjuvant therapy in esophageal cancer. The objective of this single-arm phase II trial was to evaluate the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel plus 5-fluorouracil in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
There have been reports suggesting that anti-epidermal growth factor antibody nimotuzumab is advantageous for advanced esophageal cancer patients in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, whether maintenance therapy of nimotuzumab provides benefit to advanced esophageal cancer patients is not known.
There are no standard chemotherapy regimens for metastatic esophageal cancer. Cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil is widely used as first-line treatment with a response rate ranged from 30% to 40%. Combination of paclitaxel and cisplatin has been investigated in small size clinical trial, producing promising outcome.Liposome capsuled paclitaxel has been proved to be as effective as paclitaxel.The usefulness of the the regimen of paclitaxel liposome with cisplatin is evaluated by median survival time, progression free survival,and response rate.
