Filter by:The MyCustom study is a investigator initiated trial(IIT), prospective real-world clinical research project, a genetic biomarker-driven "basket" (tissue-type agonistic) study. The target population covers a variety of solid advanced malignant tumors, including but not limited to patients with small cell lung, gastric, prostate, bladder cancer, head and neck squamous carcinoma or lacking effective treatment after standard treatment failure.
The TAG-SVD enrolled patients with clinical and neuroimaging features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). All enrolled patients will receive next-generation sequence (NGS) with probes designed to target five candidate CSVD genes, and patients will be divided into genetic or non-genetic groups accordingly. Their clinical features and outcome will be followed for at least 2 years.
This clinical trial aims to explore the minimal residual disease (MRD) status of early NSCLC after curative surgery and the clinical outcomes of adjuvant chemotherapy. Next-generation sequencing technique will be used to examine the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from MRD of 150 postoperative patients with stage IB-IIA NSCLC who received adjuvant chemotherapy.
Early identification and Severity prediction of Acute Respiratory infectious disease has become a top priority for clinicians at department of infectious and respiratory diseases after COVID-19 broke out. This is a multicenter, prospective, and randomized study, which aims to figure out the best way of early identification and severity prediction of acute respiratory infectious diseases. Patients with suspected acute respiratory infectious diseases will be enrolled into this study and received two different diagnostic pathways.
Encephalitis and meningitis are serious central nervous system diseases. There is currently a lack of comprehensive and accurate diagnosis and treatment pathways. Therefore, we conducted this multicenter, prospective, and randomized controlled study. It was designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and its impact on the outcomes of the patients enrolled. As such, we came to the results of the optimal process of diagnosis and treatment strategy of encephalitis/meningeal syndromes with improved effective treatments.
This multicenter prospective observational and exploratory study aims to develop and validate a novel multi-omics-based computational method for neoantigen prediction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and discover biomarkers for evaluation of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor's efficacy in patients of advanced NSCLC.
The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic performance of molecular and culture techniques in S. aureus screening using paired nasal and groin swabs, to determine, if any, discrepancy between the diagnostic techniques and to model the potential effect of different diagnostic techniques on S. aureus detection in orthopaedic patients
Pathogen identification is of paramount importance for bacterial meningitis. At present, the pathogen of bacterial meningitis is still mainly based on Gram stain and bacterial culture. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture can be negative in children who receive antibiotic treatment prior to CSF examination.Because of the limitations of clinical laboratory testing, more than half of the central nervous system infection cases cannot be clearly diagnosed. The emergence of powerful next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology have enabled unbiased sequencing of biological samples due to its rapid turnaround time. Previous reports highlight the feasibility of applying NGS of CSF as a diagnostic method for central nervous system (CNS) infection. However, the majority of reports are comprised of single case reports and few studies have been reported in the application of NGS for pathogen detection from CSF samples of bacterial meningitis patients, especially in pediatric populations. In this study, we would like to use the NGS technology to detect directly from the CSF samples of children with bacterial meningitis and evaluate the feasibility and significance of the NGS technique on the pathogenic identification of bacterial meningitis.
Primary lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China, with 57 percent of patients being diagnosed at advanced stage. At present, advanced lung cancer has entered the era of precise treatment. So it is very important to determine the gene mutation status of the tumor and prescribe drugs at the targets. Liquid biopsy is a suitable alternative when tumor tissues are difficult to obtain. Liquid biopsy technique refers to the use of human body fluid as a sample source to detect the information of related diseases, including blood, urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid. It is non-invasive, fast and simple, and can avoid the problem of insufficient sample size and support for repeated sampling to continuously monitor disease. With the increasing incidence of lung cancer and the development of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival period of patients has been extended, and the incidence and diagnosis rate of the brain metastasis of lung cancer have increased year by year. The brain metastasis of lung cancer is the most common type of brain metastatic tumor. The incidence rate is about 40-50%, and the prognosis is poor——the natural median survival period is about 1-2 months. Because of the impractical intracranial tumor biopsy and very low level of DNA in peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid, which makes close contact with brain tumors, becomes potential available samples. Several studies have shown that genetic testing of cerebrospinal fluid is feasible. Therefore, this study aims to test the cerebrospinal fluid, blood and tissue by the latest second-generation sequencing technology at different time points, to dynamically monitor the gene mutation status of cerebrospinal fluid, blood and tissue, to explore the role of cerebrospinal fluid biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.
Infectious disease leads to deaths that accounted for more than 25% of all causes of human mortality. But the traditional microbiological diagnostic methods such as specimen culture are sometimes time-consuming, and have limited sensitivity. And some bacteria, anaerobes and viruses may be difficult to cultivate and isolation. Therefore, the accurate identification and rapid classification of pathogenic microorganisms is very important for the patient's precise diagnosis and timely treatment. Small-scale studies on the diagnostic efficacy and prognosis of infection in the next generation have been shown to provide early diagnosis and targeted medication guidance for bloodstream infections and respiratory infections, but the larger-scale validation of next-generation sequencing Technology in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in the human body is relatively rare. The purpose of this study is to provide rapid etiological diagnosis of patients by means of next-generation sequencing, to change the way of treatment of patients under the existing traditional pathogen detection by means of accurate description of pathogens and monitoring their dynamic changes, and to provide patients with more accurate treatment.
