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.
Migraine is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, posing a significant global public health concern. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is the most common congenital heart anomaly in adults. Mechanisms linking PFO to migraine include cortical spreading depression, vascular active substance theory, impaired cerebral autoregulation, and genetic susceptibility. Understanding these mechanisms holds promise for overcoming challenges in the prevention and treatment of migraines in PFO patients. At least 11 observational studies, comprising 1,632 subjects, described the efficacy of PFO closure in cryptogenic stroke. Of these, 34% had migraines, and percutaneous PFO closure reportedly reduced migraine days by 81% (with a reduction of over 50% in monthly migraine days). Prospective randomized controlled trials (PRIMA and PREMIUM trials) assessing the Amplatzer® PFO Occluder showed significant benefits in most secondary endpoints, with a pooled analysis indicating its safety and effectiveness compared to medical therapy.While traditional metal PFO closure studies suggest symptom relief, reports also mention potential new-onset or worsened migraines post-closure. Proposed mechanisms include platelet activation, microthrombus formation, nickel allergy, and septal deformation or stretching inducing the release of migraine-related vascular active substances. However, these theories are closely tied to the presence of permanent metal implants. Addressing these concerns, the MemoSorb® biodegradable PFO Occluder system, approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in September 2023, offers an innovative solution. Developed collaboratively by the National Biomedical Materials Engineering Technology Research Center, Professor Wang Yunbing's team, Professor Pan Xiangbin's team from Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and HeartTech Medical, this groundbreaking technology represents a shift from metal to degradable materials. The occluder serves as a temporary bridge post-implantation, gradually degrading with endothelialization, facilitating comprehensive self-repair. This intervention concept theoretically avoids the lifelong complications associated with traditional metal occluders, effectively reducing postoperative symptoms like migraines and dizziness. To assess and compare the treatment outcomes, especially in relieving migraines, a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled study has been designed for patients with patent foramen ovale and migraine, comparing the novel biodegradable occluder with the metal occluder.
This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of I-DXd with treatment of physician's choice in participants with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of an intravaginal acetic acid thermoreversible gel in Chinese women of reproductive age, comparing it with nonoxinol gel by assessing the six-month Pearl Index and the incidence of any side effects.
This is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific cadonilimab in combination with oxaliplatin/capecitabine (CapeOX) in the first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma with a high tumor microenvironment score (TMEscore). The study plans to enroll 50 patients to receive cadonilimab 100mg/kg, iv, q3w + CapeOX (oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, vd, d1 + capecitabine 1000mg/m2, po, bid, D1-14, q3w, with 3 weeks as a cycle and a maximum of 8 cycles of treatment. Then the maintenance treatment phase with cadonilimab ± capecitabine is entered, and the specific dosage is the same as the treatment period. Effectiveness is assessed every 9 weeks (±7 days) using RECISIT 1.1 until disease recurrence, metastasis, death, or loss of follow-up. The primary endpoint of this study was PFS, and secondary endpoints were OS, ORR, and safety.
In this study, investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of avatrombopag in thrombocytopenic patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) through a prospective, multi-center, double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab (AK104) plus Eribulin compared to the efficacy and safety of Eribulin monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients with recurrent, or metastatic triple negative breast cancer. The primary study hypothes is that the combination of Cadonilimab (AK104) plus Eribulin is superior to Eribulin monotherapy with respect to Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the Investigator.
The goal is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in treating refractory prurigo nodularis.The main questions it aims to answer are 1. whether tofacitinib is effective in treating prurigo nodularis in the longpterm. 2. whether tofacitinib is safe in prurigo nodularis patients in the longpterm.
This clinical study was a prospective, single-center, single-arm exploratory study. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study, where surgeons will perform single-port robot-assisted gastrectomy, and explore and evaluate the safety and efficacy of this clinical application.
The changes of target and organs at risk in patients with high-grade glioma during concurrent chemoradiotherapy were evaluated by MRI image between radiotherapy fractions.
This is a national, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, endpoint-blinded clinical trial of patients diagnosed with ATAAD and undergoing "Sun's procedure" coordinated by the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. Per the protocol, "Sun's procedure" combined with "XJ-Procedure" in the anastomosis of the aortic root and Sun's procedure combined with regular suturing methods of the aortic root will be compared.
