Clinical trials

This study focuses on people with HIV who experience incomplete immune reconstitution despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), characterized by persistently low CD4⁺ T cell counts and residual inflammation. The underlying cause is largely attributed to the persistent HIV latent reservoir. Recent evidence indicates that rilpivirine, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) commonly used in ART, has an immunomodulatory function beyond its antiviral activity. It activates the CARD8 inflammasome - an intracellular "kill switch" - triggering pyroptosis selectively in HIV-infected cells. In this study, rilpivirine will be added to suppressive ART in patients with incomplete immune reconstitution. The investigators hypothesize that this strategy will reduce the latent reservoir, restore CD4⁺ T cell counts and function, attenuate excessive immune activation, and ultimately improve long-term clinical outcomes.

1. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), a non-invasive therapy that applies mild electrical current to specific points on the skin, can help patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) better tolerate the procedure and experience fewer complications related to sedation. It will also explore the underlying neuro-endocrine-immune mechanisms by measuring changes in serum biomarkers. 2. The main questions the study aims to answer are: (1)Does TEAS reduce the incidence of sedation-related adverse events (such as low blood oxygen, low blood pressure, or breathing problems) during ERCP? (2)Does TEAS improve patient comfort and reduce the need for additional sedative medications during the procedure? (3)Does TEAS lead to faster recovery and higher patient and physician satisfaction? (4) Does TEAS modulate the neuro-endocrine-immune network, as reflected by changes in serum β-endorphin, cortisol, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels? 3.Researchers will compare two approaches: 1. Active TEAS: Electrical stimulation at specific points on the legs and arms before and during ERCP. 2. Sham TEAS: Pads placed on the same points but no electrical stimulation delivered (the device appears active). 4.All participants will receive standard conscious sedation with meperidine and diazepam, which is commonly used for ERCP in many centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The study will measure sedation-related complications, pain levels, medication requirements, recovery times, satisfaction scores, and changes in serum biomarkers (β-endorphin, cortisol, TNF-α, IL-6).

This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the VA-CIG regimen (venetoclax combined with azacitidine, idarubicin, low-dose cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor \[G-CSF\]) as induction therapy for previously untreated patients with fit acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

This study aims to develop a non-invasive and rapid diagnostic technology for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) by analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. Clinically confirmed patients will be divided into three groups (no bleeding, minor bleeding, major bleeding) based on endoscopic findings. VOC profiles will be analyzed to construct a predictive model, validated for sensitivity and specificity (both targets ≥0.7). This approach addresses the limitations of endoscopy in emergency or resource-limited settings, improving diagnostic efficiency and reducing mortality.

The DCMG regimen includes decitabine or azacitidine (hypomethylating agents), mitoxantrone liposome, cytarabine, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), comprising four medications. This project initiates a prospective and exploratory clinical study on the DCMG chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the DCMG combination chemotherapy regimen in treating relapsed/refractory AML.

Some studies have shown that approximately 15% of patients with advanced hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer and 1/3 of triple negative breast cancer will develop brain metastasis. At present, there is no unified drug treatment standard for HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM). The evidence of single traditional chemotherapy drug as the main treatment of brain metastasis is not sufficient. Some exploratory studies on HER2-negative BCBM have shown that the central nervous system objective response rate (CNS-ORR) of anti-angiogenic drugs combined with chemotherapy is around 55%-80%。 Adebrelimab (a humanized PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) specifically blocks the binding of PD-1 and PD-L1, terminates the immunosuppressive signal produced by T cells, and makes T cells re-recognize tumor cells and kill them, thereby inhibiting tumor growth. In China, Adebelizumab has been approved for using in combination with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Apatinib (a small molecule VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor) mainly plays an anti-angiogenic effect in the treatment of malignant tumors by inhibiting VEGFR. Apatinib has been approved monotherapy for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has progressed or relapsed after at least two systematic chemotherapies, advanced liver cancer that has failed or is intolerable after at least first-line systematic treatment, and first-line treatment in patients with unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma combined with camrelizumab. Due to the lack of effective drug therapy for HER2-negative BCBM, a variety of treatment combinations are still being explored. We hypothesized that adebrelimab plus apatinib and etoposide is an explorable and effective treatment for HER2- negative BCBM.

The efficiency and safety of PD-1 inhibitor in combination with venetoclax and hypomethylation agent in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome remain uncertain. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess safety and response to a new PD-1 inhibitor-based triple-drug combination regimen (venetoclax + hypomethylation agent + PD-1 inhibitor) in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients, or who had positive minimal residual disease.

This study was a multicenter, prospective randomized controlled clinical study. A total of 60 HBV-infected infants with ALT ≤5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and without pathological jaundice were enrolled and randomized 1:1 into two groups: the control group and the antiviral treatment group. HBV-infected infants in the treatment group were treated with LAM before the age of 1 year and then combined with regular interferon for 52 weeks if they were still positive for HBV DNA and/or HBsAg after reaching the age of 1 year. The control group was followed up synchronously. Follow-up was conducted every 3 months during the study period. The main efficacy evaluation indexes: HBsAg conversion (functional cure) rate, HBeAg conversion rate, HBeAg seroconversion rate, HBV DNA conversion rate, HBsAg seroconversion rate, and ALT reversion rate at the end of 12 months of treatment and at 2 years of age.
