Clinical trials

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether active remote symptom monitoring and management via a smartphone app utilizing electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) can improve adherence to prescribed outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation exercises among postsurgical lung cancer patients. Eligible patients will use the app for perioperative care and be randomized to an intervention group receiving ePRO-based symptom monitoring with clinician feedback or a control group receiving ePRO without feedback. The primary outcome is rehabilitation exercise adherence rate over 1 month after discharge. If proven effective, the app-enabled remote rehabilitation model can be scaled up to enhance recovery for more postoperative patients. Due to slower-than-expected recruitment, an interim analysis was introduced through a protocol amendment. The amendment was approved by the Ethics Committee before conducting the analysis, and the plan was incorporated into the updated study record. The interim review evaluated feasibility and informed the addition of mean weekly exercise duration as a co-primary endpoint with adjusted statistical thresholds.

All participants will be tested for EBV-related biomarkers, including EBNA1-IgA, VCA-IgA, and BNLF2b total antibody (P85-Ab), and participants with high serologic risk will be selected based on serologic test results, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for high-risk screening subjects, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for the high-risk group to record dual-energy CT examinations of those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and then endoscopy was performed on the high-risk group to record those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma under endoscopy, and finally biopsies were taken for positive lesion sites indicated by dual-energy CT and suspicious lesion sites found by endoscopy to clarify the diagnosis.

Based on the preliminary retrospective validation of the efficacy of five HCC screening strategies(including conventional AFP combined with ultrasound-based general screening strategy, REACH-B, AGED, aMAPand aMAP 3.0 risk score) in Xiaolan Town, a head-to-head comparison for HCC screening is conducted in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. The study is a prospective, single-center, head-to-head trial aiming to enroll 4,500 HBsAg-positive individuals. It adopts a two-phase design of "HBV screening first, followed by HCC surveillance":Phase I: Recruitment of age-eligible populations at study sites for HBsAg screening to establish a high-risk cohort positive for hepatitis B surface antigen.Phase II: Implementation of uniform HCC surveillance (AFP combined with liver ultrasound every six months) for HBsAg-positive individuals, with concurrent application of different risk stratification models to evaluate risk levels and screening efficacy for each participant during follow-up.Furthurmore, based on baseline biological information and follow-up data, the study also aims to explore the development of a more effective risk prediction model for HCC.

This is a multi-center, non-inferiority, open-label, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial in primary diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients without distant metastasis. This study aims to compare the regional control, survival outcomes, radiation-related toxicities, and quality of life (QoL) of xerostomia-optimized intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy in NPC patients

To evaluate the long-term local control, survival rate, acute and late radiation related toxicities, quality of life after reducing high risk primary tumor clinical target volumes (CTVp1) in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT.

All participants will be tested for EBV associated biomarkers, including EBNA1-IgA, VCA-IgA, BNLF2b total antibodies (P85-Ab) et al. For all male participants and P85-Ab positive female participants, EBV DNA in plasma will be tested. Screening positive participants will be followed up annually. All subjects will also be followed by record linkage to Cancer Register and Population Register.
