Clinical trials

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a common type of heart failure in older adults, often associated with poor quality of life and frequent hospitalizations. Recent research suggests that changes in gut bacteria may contribute to the progression of HFpEF. FMT aims to restore a healthy gut microbiome, which may improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either FMT or a placebo treatment. The primary goal is to compare changes in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score between the two groups at 20 weeks. Secondary goals include assessing improvements in exercise capacity (6-minute walk test), NYHA functional class, and safety outcomes. The study will enroll 50 elderly patients (aged ≥60 years) with confirmed HFpEF. All participants will receive standard medical care for HFpEF throughout the study. This trial is sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University and conducted in accordance with ethical standards.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of key factors such as cognitive flexibility, social support, and physiological stress on the occurrence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adult trauma patients treated in the emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is: Among emergency department patients who have experienced major trauma, can factors such as early post-trauma cognitive flexibility, level of social support, inflammatory markers, and trauma severity predict the development of PTSD within 6 months? Participants will complete a series of online questionnaires and clinical assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the traumatic event.

This study is a single-center, prospective, exploratory Phase I clinical trial initiated by the team led by Associate Professor He Lijie from the Department of Nephrology, Xijing Hospital. Prior to receiving CAR-T cell therapy, patients will undergo lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (fludarabine will be added if necessary). After prophylactic administration of antihistamines and acetaminophen, patients will be infused with CD19 CAR-T cells at a dose of 1×10⁶ cells/kg. In the subsequent 2 weeks, patients will be hospitalized for monitoring of vital signs and adverse reactions. The planned follow-up duration of this study is 1 years.

This study will evaluate the effect of intravenous injection of umbilical cord tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) on the improvement of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at stage 3 or 4, with the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as the primary endpoint, and other changes in renal function laboratory indicators, changes in other organ system function laboratory indicators, and adverse reaction events as secondary endpoints. This trial aims to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of UMCSs in CKD patients, and provide new insights into expanding the clinical treatment strategies, delaying the progression and improving the prognosis of CKD patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Autologous Drug-Loaded Neutrophils (NeuMed) can treat patients with Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer. The drug carried by the Autologous Neutrophils is Monomethyl Auristatin E. The main questions it aims to answer are: First, to verify the safety of Autologous Drug-Loaded Neutrophils (NeuMed) in patients with Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer. Second, to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of Autologous Drug-Loaded Neutrophils (NeuMed) in patients with Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer.
