Clinical trials

This is a single-arm, open-lable exploratory study of Lurbinectedin in combination with Serplulimab as maintenance therapy in participants with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) after first-line induction therapy with carboplatin, etoposide, and Serplulimab. The study consists of 2 phases: an induction phase and a maintenance phase. Participants need to have an ongoing response or stable disease per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) v1.1 criteria after completion of 4 cycles of carboplatin, etoposide, and Serplulimab induction treatment in order to be considered for eligibility screening for the maintenance phase. Eligible participants will receive lurbinectedin plus Serplulimab in the maintenance phase.

A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in lung cancer, utilizing patient-derived organoid (PDO)-immune co-cultures. Focusing on HER2-positive and TROP2-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases, ADC candidates were screened for in vitro activity based on organoid-immune interaction models. Key assessments included: Tumor killing efficiency, assessed by dose-response relationships; Drug internalization (cellular uptake), as a measure of penetration into cancer cells; Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and bystander effect, with negative control targets employed to delineate specificity; Single-cell RNA sequencing, to profile transcriptional alterations at single-cell resolution. Data demonstrated distinct ADC responses correlating with target expression and immune microenvironment features. The integrated approach provided cell-based evidence of ADC potency and revealed mechanistic insights-including immune-mediated cytotoxicity pathways and intracellular trafficking-supporting the rational design of clinical trials. These findings established a foundation for precision immunotherapy strategies and offered a mechanistic rationale for patient selection in HER2/TROP2-positive lung cancer.

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating whether the addition of a nutritional therapy regimen (Spirulina-Bifidobacterium capsules, fish oil-grape seed-blueberry soft capsules, and Ganoderma spore oil) to standard glucocorticoid therapy improves outcomes in patients with Grade 3-4 immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP), compared with standard glucocorticoid therapy alone. A total of 60 patients with malignancies who develop Grade 3-4 CIP (per CTCAE v5.0) after at least one cycle of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy will be randomized 1:1 to the experimental or control arm. The primary endpoints are time to pneumonitis downgrading and the proportion of patients achieving downgrading at 3 months.

Patients with advanced lung cancer are a high-risk population for cancer-related anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS). Meanwhile, the adverse reactions of chemotherapy and immunotherapy potentially exacerbate the occurrence and progression of CACS. CACS seriously affects the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer, significantly shortens the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), forming a vicious cycle. A number of previous studies have shown that combined supportive therapies such as megestrol acetate during chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy for advanced tumor patients is a clinically meaningful and feasible treatment model in clinical practice. However, the efficacy and optimal treatment timing of combination with current first-line immunochemotherapy regimens remain unclear. Although mechanistic studies have shown that anti-cachexia therapy may synergistically enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy, relevant clinical research evidence is lacking. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that the combination of first-line immunochemotherapy regimen and nano-crystalline megestrol acetate can improve the clinical benefits of patients with advanced lung cancer. It is planned to enroll patients with advanced lung cancer who present with anorexia-cachexia, and administer nano-crystalline megestrol acetate intervention (nano-crystalline megestrol acetate or its placebo control) during first-line immunochemotherapy. The changes in body weight relative to the baseline, as well as the impact on survival benefits and quality of life of patients, will be detected. In China, megestrol acetate is mainly available in two dosage forms: oral suspension and dispersible tablets. The oral suspension of megestrol acetate adopts nano-crystal technology (referred to as nano-crystalline megestrol acetate), which reduces the particle size of megestrol acetate and improves bioavailability. Previous randomized controlled studies have shown that it is superior to non-nano-crystal dosage forms in improving body weight.

Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer are a high-risk group for cancer cachexia and anorexia. Meanwhile, the adverse reactions of chemotherapy and immunotherapy potentially exacerbate the occurrence and development of cancer cachexia and anorexia. Cancer cachexia and anorexia also severely affect the quality of life of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, significantly shortening their overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), thus forming a vicious cycle. Numerous previous studies have shown that for patients with advanced tumors, the combination of supportive treatments such as megestrol acetate during chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a treatment mode with clinical significance and practical feasibility in clinical practice. However, the efficacy and the optimal treatment timing of its combination with the current first-line immunochemotherapy regimen remain unclear. Although mechanistic studies have shown that anti-cachexia treatment may synergistically enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy, there is a lack of relevant clinical research evidence.

To further understand the role of gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the occurrence of type 2 inflammation-related asthma in children by analyzing the gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), lung function and type 2 inflammation indicators of children diagnosed with asthma in outpatient and inpatient. To provide a theoretical basis for the study of personalized treatment and prevention strategies for asthma.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids combined with bronchodilators and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor plus platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel, multicenter phase II study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome (II) or etoposide combined with adebrelimab and carboplatin as first-line treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoint of the study was the 1-year overall survival rate.

This is an observational, multicenter study aimed at investigating the inflammation phenotypes in sputum samples from patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE). The study will observe and classify these phenotypes during the clinical screening phase without any intervention. Patients enrolled in this study may later participate in the HSK31858 clinical trial, where they will receive treatment as part of the trial protocol. After the unblinding of the trial, the study will analyze the relationship between sputum inflammation phenotypes and clinical outcomes, including treatment response and prognosis. The goal is to develop a clinical prediction model that incorporates inflammation subtypes to better predict patient outcomes in bronchiectasis.

This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family proteins and placenta previa using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data will be analyzed to assess the correlation and potential causality between VEGF protein levels and the occurrence of placenta previa.

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the correlation between ctDNA-MRD and the therapeutic effect and prognosis of stage II-IVA operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
