There are about 10523 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.
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.
This study is comparing 200 milligrams (mg) of filgotinib a day with a placebo to see if filgotinib helps to treat Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and is safe to use. The study will also be comparing 200 mg with 100 mg filgotinib a day to see if the lower dose also helps to treat axSpA.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on biochemistry response and skeletal muscle synthesis in prolonged endurance exercise.
The aim of this study is to investigate Lepidium meyenii (Maca) extract supplementation on exercise-induced responses of the biochemical, and physiological parameters.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about GS-2829 and GS-6779 in healthy participants and participants with CHB.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DOR/ISL in adult participants with HIV-1 who had been previously treated with DOR/ISL in earlier clinical studies. There are no formal hypotheses to be tested in this study.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a computation model for accurately predicting post-induction hypotension in patients receiving laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • whether the corresponding characteristics on pressure wave forms could be use to predict post-induction hypotension. Participants will be observed before and after induction of general anesthesia for non-invasive arterial pressure wave forms and blood pressure changes.
