Clinical trials

This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of the antibodies iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, administered with or without chemotherapy, in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) who have progressed after receiving at least one line of systemic therapy. The study includes a safety run-in phase with approximately three patients, which may be expanded to six if a dose-limiting toxicity is observed. Patients are then assigned to either combination antibody monotherapy or combination antibody plus chemotherapy, based on PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS), symptom burden, disease characteristics and patient preference. Monotherapy involves iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (5 mg/kg on day 1, every 3 weeks). Combination therapy involves the same antibody regimen plus up to six cycles of platinum (carboplatin at an area under the curve (AUC) of 5 or cisplatin at 75 mg/m²) plus docetaxel (75 mg/m²) or paclitaxel (135-175 mg/m²), followed by antibody monotherapy maintenance. The primary objective is to assess the objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the disease control rate (DCR), the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate, the 6-month overall survival (OS) rate and the safety profile. Exploratory objectives include the association of tumour biomarkers (PD-L1 expression and tumour mutation burden) with efficacy.

This study is a multicenter, open label, randomized controlled, adaptive phase II/III seamless design clinical trial aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone (MP) and dexamethasone (DEX) in the treatment of peritumoral edema in patients with brain metastases during radiotherapy. The research plan includes brain metastasis patients aged 18-75 years, with KPS scores of 40-80, who plan to undergo whole brain radiotherapy or stereotactic radiotherapy. They will be randomly divided into MP group (40-60 mg/day) or DEX group (8-12 mg/day) in a 1:1 ratio, and medication will be continued until the end of radiotherapy, followed by gradual reduction and cessation within one week. The study is divided into two stages: the first stage (stage II exploration) includes 120 cases to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety, and provide a basis for re estimating the sample size in the second stage; The second stage (Phase III confirmation) will expand the sample size based on the results after analysis during the transition period, with a total sample size of no more than 400 cases. The primary endpoint was the change in KPS score and the incidence of grade ≥ 2 hormone related adverse reactions within one week after radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints include cerebral edema index, cognitive function, quality of life, radiotherapy interruption rate, neurotoxicity, survival, and serum biomarkers (IL-6, S100B). The study is supervised by an independent data security monitoring committee and uses statistical methods such as stratified block randomization and mixed effects models to ensure the scientific and ethical compliance of the data. This study is expected to provide high-level evidence-based basis for hormone selection during the perioperative radiotherapy period for patients with brain metastases, and optimize clinical practice.

Radiation induced dermatitis (RID) is one of the leading adverse events of radiation therapy, and if occurred could alter the course of therapy. The main pathways of RID is inflammation and oxidative stress on local and systemic bases. The Diclofenac is a COX-2 inhibitor and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whose anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities have been proven in several clinical trials. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diclofenac sodium gel as a prophylactic method against the development of RID.

Aim to observe the application of MR-Linac for precision radiotherapy of tumours, analyse its therapeutic effect, toxic and side effects,Characteristics of dosimetric parameters etc.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of large fractionation radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and to analyze whether Hypofractionated radiotherapy is not inferior to conventional radiotherapy.
