All clinical trials

Phase I clinical trials are designed as open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion clinical studies, the main purpose of which is to explore the tolerability, safety, cytokinetic characteristics and RP2D and preliminary observation of the efficacy of the study drug in subjects with B7-H3-positive relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma.

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency which leads to devastating visual function defects and poor prognosis. Though traditional conservative treatments are widely used, none of them is proved to be effective. A number of meta-analyses and observational studies indicate intravenous thrombolysis to be beneficial in CRAO. Selective intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) introducing rt-PA directly into the ophthalmic circulation by super-selective microcatheterization may reduce the complications such as intracranial and systemic hemorrhage.The residual visual field is significant for patients with CRAO who have poor central visual acuity. Thus, it is clinically significant to study the changes in visual fields in eyes with CRAO.

In this prospective active-controlled randomized trial the investigators will assess for the first time ever the different local treatments of vulvovaginal atrophy in breast cancer patients on endocrine therapy. These patients are currently inadequately treated based on ignorance of possible treatment modalities and stigmatization of vulvovaginal atrophy.

This will be a randomized clinical trial examining the efficacy and safety of ARAT (intervention group) in patients with chronic GERD symptoms (typical symptoms of GERD, i.e. heartburn or acid reflux/regurgitation at least twice a week) for the last 6 months. Patients must have a positive pH test and a negative manometry (no treatment) procedure.

This is a prospective, multicentre, sham-controlled, participant- and assessor-masked superiority trial with two parallel treatment arms which aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of subthreshold nanosecond laser (SNL) in a series of adults with sub-retinal fluid secondary to non-resolving central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) by visual and anatomical outcomes. The study population will be individuals with adults (aged 18-70 years inclusive) with non-resolving CSCR (defined as CSCR present for a duration of more than 3 months presenting with either focal or diffuse leakage) who meet all eligibility criteria. 60 subjects total will be enrolled into the study - 40 randomized to receive SNL treatment and 20 to receive sham treatment as per a 2:1 randomization schedule and stratified by type of CSCR (focal vs diffuse). The study has a 24-week study period with five scheduled visits: screening, randomisation (first treatment), 6-week follow up (with second treatment where eligible), 12-week follow-up , 18-week follow-up, and 24-week follow-up. The primary outcome is the proportion of laser-treated study eyes that show resolution of sub-retinal fluid (SRF) as observed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) compared to sham-treated study eyes at 24 weeks. The safety endpoint will be proportion of laser-treated eyes that lose ≥10 letters of of vision (measured on a standard vision chart) compared to sham-treated study eyes and fellow eyes over 24 weeks.

This study will determine the effects of pregnenolone on brain function, inflammation and depressive symptoms in people with HIV who have depression. Participants in this study will receive a pill of either pregnenolone or placebo, and can stay on their current antidepression medications. Brain imaging and behavioral assessments will be performed during the study.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zip-stitch® Vaginal Cuff Closure System. This will be primarily done by measuring the frequency of implant passing following system use. Also assessed will be relevant safety and efficacy endpoints as compared to a two-to-one reference group.

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus which frequently occur together. Data is emerging suggesting metabolic syndrome causes brain disease by contributing to blood vessel damage and inflammation. People living with HIV (PLWH) are at high risk and the investigators will perform a pilot study of the well-known type 2 diabetes drug metformin to treat this blood vessel damage and inflammation in PLWH.

The present study will recruit 50 symptomatic non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 35% and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB), who have not received complete guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Each patient was randomized to 2 groups, GDMT or left bundle branch pacing combined with GDMT (LBBP+GDMT) as initial therapy and was followed up for 2 phases: 0-6 months (phase I), 7-18 months (phase II). The primary objective is to compare the LVEF change , syncope and malignant ventricular arrhythmias between GDMT group and LBBP+GDMT group, and to observe which strategy will significantly reduce the percentage of recommendations for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) during phase I study. The second outcome measures including health economics, echocardiography parameters[left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)], N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), quality of life score(QOL) and incidence of clinical adverse events.

This is a multi-center, single arm, open-label study to evaluate safety and primary efficacy in children patients with moderate-to severe atopic dermatis.
