There are about 10484 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.
HINEX Jelly is a jelly high protein supplement. This report is to investigate whether jelly high protein supplement can achieve greater muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance and nutritional status in sarcopenia or possible sarcopenia subjects. It is 20 weeks randomized, crossover, self-controlled trials. The screening, recruitment and trial period were carried out from Feb, 2022 to Mar, 2023. Patients were randomized to either a self-controlled phase,which intake 400~500 kcal breakfast, or a supplement phase consume one servings of jelly high protein supplement (303 kcal, 15 g protein and 2400 mg BCAA per serving) and 100~200 kcal food at breakfast per day, for 8 weeks. After a 4-week washout they cross over to the alternate treatment. The anthropometric measurements, sarcopenia parameters, nutritional assessment and hematology assessment data were measured at the week 0,8,12,20 and 24-hour dietary record were recorded at week 1,8,13,20.
Inpatients or outpatients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were referred to the co-investigator(Dr. Chih-Jen Huang and Dr. Hui-Ching Wang), who then personally explained to each participant, the purpose and conduct of the study, so that they all understood their rights and interests before giving a written consent.
The study evaluates the efficacy of fluorescence-guided de-colonization in patients with non-infected diabetic foot ulcers. The efficacy will also be compared between those who used artificial dermis and split-thickness skin graft for reconstruction surgery.
This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of once daily oral orforglipron in adult participants with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities.
This study is a substudy being conducted under one pembrolizumab umbrella master study KEYMAKER-U04. The substudy will consist of 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV and coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV relative to pembrolizumab plus EV. There will be no comparison of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV versus coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV. If ORR and/or DRR are substantially better on coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab plus EV and/or coformulated vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EV compared with pembrolizumab plus EV, after evaluation of the totality of data, the sponsor might consider Part 2 (expansion) to further characterize the efficacy and safety of the treatment arms under study.
This phase I/II study aims to evaluate the safety of single doses of 2ccPA 4,800 μg and 7,200 μg (Phase I), as well as the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of 2ccPA (Phase II) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
BACKGROUND: Finite nucleos(t)ide analogue (Nuc) therapy was proposed as an alternative strategy in the management of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) but there remained not data from randomized controlled trials to clarify safety and efficacy of this treatment strategy. AIMS: The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of finite Nuc therapy versus continuous treatment in CHB patients without liver cirrhosis and also to identify factors that may predict therapeutic responses and clinical outcomes after withdrawal of Nuc treatment for CHB MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in Taiwan. Eligible patients are adults (age≥20 years) with CHB (chronic infection ≥ 6 months) who fulfill the APASL guideline 2016 to stop NA therapy. Those with cirrhosis, malignancy, organ transplant, autoimmune disorder, or serious underlying diseases including renal impairment were excluded. A total of 360 patients will be enrolled. Enrolled patients are randomly allocated with a 1:1 ratio to continue viral suppression with entecavir (0.5mg once daily) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300mg once daily) or stop the treatment. All patients will be followed up according to the protocol recommended by a panel of APASL experts. The primary analysis for study outcomes is scheduled at 3 years after randomization and the primary outcome is seroclearance of HBsAg. There will be interim analyses scheduled at one- and two-years following randomization of the first 200 patients, and also one-and two years following randomization of the planned 360 patients, to determine whether early termination of the trial may be justified by attainment of the efficacy endpoint (10% vs 1% of HBsAg seroclearance) or concerns of the safety outcomes (significant between-group difference in mortality, acute on chronic liver failure, or acute flares with hepatic decompensation).
A standard of truth "SOT" is determined based on the interpretation results of the case data by interpretation experts, and the SOT is compared with the detection results of this program's function for detecting suspected breast cancer (CADe function). Estimate the detectability of the CADe function by comparing.
The decision to operate and surgical timing on multi-trauma patients remains controversial, inappropriate surgical timing may cause more complications which lead to poor prognosis. We hope to find out the connection between lactate and prognosis in multi-trauma patients, and the optimal timing of definitive treatment.
This study is carried out to find out if a customized molecular test can identify a subgroup of patients with very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer within patients with intestinal metaplasia (IM). The investigators hypothesise that the incidence of dysplasia and GC cases in the molecular-test-positive group will be significantly higher than that in the molecular-test-negative group. Such a test has the potential to guide clinicians to better manage patients with IM by allowing endoscopic surveillance to be focused on individuals at very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer, at the same time avoiding or reducing endoscopies for those at lower risk.
