Clinical trials

This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study designed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of a single subretinal administration of JWK001 at different dose levels in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

This is a prospective, non-interventional observational cohort study evaluating the clinical utility of patient-specific circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring in patients with advanced non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor-based systemic therapy. Tumor-informed personalized ctDNA assays will be developed based on tumor tissue and matched normal blood samples, and ctDNA will be longitudinally assessed at predefined time points during treatment. The primary objectives are to evaluate the associations of baseline ctDNA status with progression-free survival and objective response rate. Secondary and exploratory analyses will assess overall survival, disease control, duration of response, longitudinal ctDNA dynamics, radiographic tumor burden, and molecular progression.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of JDB153 combined with Serplulimab in patients with pancreatic cancer after standard treatment failure.

Head and neck cancer patients often experience significant anxiety and depression during radiation therapy, which can affect their quality of life and treatment adherence. However, traditional psychological support is limited by resource constraints and accessibility. This study aims to evaluate whether a mobile application based on social sharing and peer interaction can improve psychological distress in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing radiotherapy. This is a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, open-label trial. A total of 120 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the immediate intervention group or a waitlist control group. Participants in the intervention group will use a dedicated app featuring daily sharing, peer interaction (anonymous comments, likes, private messaging), psychoeducational resources, and reminders. The control group will receive a printed psychoeducational booklet during the initial phase and will gain access to the app after the primary endpoint assessment. The primary outcome is the change in anxiety score (HADS-A) from baseline to completion of radiotherapy. Secondary outcomes include depression scores (HADS-D), radiotherapy interruption rate, app engagement, and severe psychological distress prevalence. Exploratory outcomes include quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30, H\&N35), readmission rate, adverse event severity (CTCAE v5.0), and biological markers (e.g., cortisol, IL-6, CRP). The study is expected to run from April 2026 to August 2027. Findings may inform scalable digital psychosocial interventions for cancer patients.

This study aims to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of YMN-136 vaccine through a dose escalation trial, and to investigate whether YMN-136 vaccine can assist in the treatment of patients with advanced hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies.

Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of PD-1 mRNA LNP Vaccine Therapy in Patients with Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Have Failed Advanced Standard Therapy

This study evaluates whether an arginine-free diet combined with chemoradiotherapy can improve treatment outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Our previous study showed that an arginine-free diet is safe and may boost the body's immune response against tumors. The study has two phases. The first phase (6 patients) tests the safety of the diet. The second phase (134 patients) randomly assigns participants to receive either the arginine-free diet plus standard chemoradiotherapy or standard chemoradiotherapy alone. The arginine-free diet is provided as a liquid nutritional formula for 4 weeks. The main goal is to see if the diet increases the complete response rate (tumor disappearance). We will also evaluate survival outcomes, side effects, and quality of life.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents a significant clinical challenge, as over 60% of patients are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage with a high risk of recurrence. Although the landmark KEYNOTE-689 trial established neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy as a new standard of care, the pathological complete response (pCR) rate remains unsatisfactory at only 3.0%, highlighting an urgent need for optimized combination strategies. This prospective, single-arm, single-center clinical study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel neoadjuvant and adjuvant regimen combining an engineered mitochondrial vaccine (IMP3-Mito) with ICIs for patients with resectable, IMP3-positive locally advanced HNSCC. The rationale is based on a "Prime-and-Release" synergistic mechanism: the engineered mitochondrial vaccine serves as a potent "natural adjuvant" to activate dendritic cells and prime tumor-specific T-cell responses against the IMP3 antigen, while the ICI subsequently releases the immune brakes within the tumor microenvironment. By integrating these two modalities, the study seeks to achieve deeper pathological responses and improve long-term survival, while simultaneously providing clinical evidence for the transformative potential of the mitochondrial engineering platform in overcoming the limitations of conventional tumor vaccines.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with Sintilimab combined with Disitamab Vedotin in patients with locally advanced, resectable or potentially resectable sebaceous gland carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the major pathological response (MPR) rate after the neoadjuvant therapy? What are the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, clinical objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), safety profiles, and 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) of this regimen? Participants will:Receive neoadjuvant therapy consisting of Sintilimab (200 mg, IV, Day 1) and Disitamab Vedotin (2.5 mg/kg, IV, Day 1) every 3 weeks for a total of 2 cycles. Undergo radical surgery after the completion of the neoadjuvant treatment phase. Receive postoperative adjuvant therapy after surgery, which includes uniform Sintilimab monotherapy maintenance (200 mg, IV, Q3W) for up to 1 year, and may receive risk-stratified local interventions (such as local radiotherapy or repeat wide excision) depending on the pathological risk factors.

In China, low breast-conserving surgery rates and historically minimal immediate reconstruction following mastectomy have resulted in a significant population of women living without a breast, often leading to long-term psychosocial distress. Current delayed reconstruction options are limited: traditional two-stage implant reconstruction necessitates two surgeries with associated costs and risks like infection and implant exposure, while autologous tissue transfer (e.g., TRAM/DIEP flaps), though offering superior natural aesthetics and patient satisfaction, involves extensive donor-site morbidity, prolonged recovery, and significant scarring, restricting its suitability. To address the drawbacks of both established methods-significant trauma, cost, and complexity-this study evaluates a novel technique for breast cancer patients post-mastectomy: endoscopic delayed direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. This study proposes to conduct a prospective cohort study to analyze complication rates, breast aesthetic scores, quality of life metrics, and other dimensions between delayed direct-to-implant breast reconstruction and abdominal flap breast reconstruction（DIEP and TRAM). The aim is to comprehensively evaluate the safety and clinical feasibility of endoscopic delayed direct-to-implant breast reconstruction.

Patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer who experience disease progression after standard first- and second-line therapies have limited subsequent treatment options. Disitamab vedotin, a novel anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), has been approved in China for this patient population. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) serve as a core therapeutic modality for advanced gastric cancer; however, treatment discontinuation often occurs due to disease progression or immune-related adverse events, which raises clinical demands for immunotherapy rechallenge. Preclinical and early clinical evidence suggests that disitamab vedotin may remodel the tumor immune microenvironment and generate synergistic anti-tumor activity with PD-1 blockade. Furthermore, multimodal radiotherapy combining low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) and high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) can enhance systemic anti-tumor immunity through tumor antigen release and remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment. This prospective, multicenter, interventional, single-arm phase II clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin combined with sintilimab and multimodal radiotherapy in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer with progression following first- and second-line systemic therapy. Eligible participants will receive protocol-specified disitamab vedotin and sintilimab, followed by multimodal radiotherapy delivered to at least two independent lesions. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) assessed according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety profile. Exploratory biomarker analyses will be conducted using matched tumor tissue and peripheral blood specimens. A total of 30 participants will be enrolled. This trial is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and relevant Chinese biomedical research regulations. All enrolled patients will provide written informed consent, and the study has obtained ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

This is a prospective, open-label, parallel-group, 1:1 randomized controlled trial evaluating whether a wireless wearable mobile monitoring device combined with a digital rehabilitation program improves pulmonary function at 90 days postoperatively in patients undergoing curative-intent lobectomy or segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible participants will be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group. Both groups receive standard postoperative rehabilitation education. The intervention group additionally receives a wearable device (chest patch or wristband) for continuous monitoring of SpO₂, heart rate, respiratory rate, and physical activity, along with a smartphone-based digital rehabilitation program including individualized exercise prescriptions (aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training), daily symptom diaries, and remote feedback with threshold-triggered alerts for up to 90 days after discharge. The control group receives standard rehabilitation education with routine follow-up. The primary endpoint is the between-group difference in FEV1% predicted at postoperative day 90, analyzed using ANCOVA adjusted for baseline FEV1% predicted. Secondary endpoints include FVC% predicted, 6-minute walk distance, daily step count, SpO₂ \<90% time burden, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30/LC13, mMRC), 90-day readmission and emergency visit rates, and safety outcomes. A total of 126 participants (63 per group) will be enrolled. The study is being conducted at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2026 to October 2027.

This is a Phase I, single-arm, open-label, prospective, non-randomized, single-center dose-escalation study. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity of the NeoOVSV mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine in patients with stage II/III ovarian cancer after surgery, in combination with standard adjuvant chemotherapy and a PD-1 antibody.

This study will compare remote robotic surgery with on-site robotic surgery for patients who need surgery for diseases of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas. Remote robotic surgery means that an experienced surgeon controls the robotic surgical system from a different location, while the patient and the operating room team are at the local hospital. On-site robotic surgery means that the surgeon controls the robotic system in the same hospital as the patient. The main purpose of this study is to find out whether remote robotic surgery is not worse than on-site robotic surgery in terms of surgical success. Surgical success means that the planned robotic operation is completed safely, without unplanned conversion to open surgery or standard laparoscopic surgery, without major unexpected injury, and without serious problems related to the remote robotic system, network, or communication. Eligible patients will be adults who are scheduled to undergo selected robotic hepatobiliary or pancreatic procedures, including hepatectomy, liver segmentectomy, local liver resection, cholecystectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, or distal pancreatectomy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the remote robotic surgery group or the on-site robotic surgery group. The study is single-blind, which means that participants will not know which group they are assigned to, although the surgical and operating room teams will know because of the nature of the procedure. The study will evaluate surgical success, operation time, blood loss, conversion to open surgery, complications, recovery after surgery, length of hospital stay, readmission, reoperation or other interventions, death within 30 and 90 days after surgery, and quality of recovery. For patients in the remote robotic surgery group, the study will also record the performance of the remote surgical system, including network delay, system stability, image transmission, system interruption, and the need for local surgical takeover. A total of 168 patients are planned to be enrolled. Patients will be followed during hospitalization and after surgery to assess safety, recovery, and short-term clinical outcomes. The results of this study may help determine whether remote robotic surgery can be safely and effectively used for hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, especially in hospitals or regions where access to experienced surgical specialists is limited.

The main objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of different doses of propranolol in the treatment of ulcerattion infantile hemangioma (IH).

Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a condition in which the aortic valve progressively narrows and stiffens due to calcium deposition, eventually impairing blood flow from the heart to the body. No drug therapy has been proven to slow CAVS progression. Individuals with mild-to-moderate CAVS are managed with periodic monitoring until the stenosis becomes severe, at which point surgical or transcatheter valve replacement is the only treatment option. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether vericiguat, an oral soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator, can slow the progression of mild-to-moderate CAVS. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: Does vericiguat slow the progression of aortic valve calcium accumulation, as measured by the change in aortic valve calcium score from baseline to 24 months, compared to placebo? The study will compare vericiguat against a placebo (an inactive pill that is identical in appearance but contains no active drug). Both participants and the research team will not know which treatment each participant is receiving throughout the study. Participants will: Take vericiguat or placebo orally once daily for 24 months; Begin treatment at 2.5 mg/day and undergo a stepwise dose increase every two weeks to a target dose of 10 mg/day, provided the drug is tolerated; Attend approximately 8 scheduled study visits over two years, during which they will undergo cardiac imaging examinations (transthoracic echocardiography and non-contrast cardiac CT), blood sample collection, physical assessment, and completion of standardized questionnaires on quality of life and heart failure symptoms; Undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the beginning and end of the study, if there are no contraindications. Approximately 238 participants will be enrolled across roughly 19 hospitals in China.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short-term (12-week) prehabilitation strategy combining mazdutide (a novel GLP-1/GCG receptor dual agonist) with lifestyle optimization, compared to lifestyle optimization alone, in potential living liver transplantation donors with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD). Overweight or obese individuals who intend to donate a portion of their liver but are temporarily disqualified due to hepatic steatosis will be recruited across multiple clinical centers. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group (mazdutide subcutaneous injection once weekly plus standardized lifestyle counseling) or the control group (placebo subcutaneous injection once weekly plus standardized lifestyle counseling). The primary objective is to determine whether the short-term addition of mazdutide can significantly increase the proportion of donors achieving histological resolution of hepatic steatosis without the worsening of fibrosis within 12 weeks. The study ultimately aims to provide high-quality evidence for a rapid, safe, and effective surgical prehabilitation protocol to expand the living donor pool and optimize perioperative outcomes for both donors and recipients.

This phase II, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study evaluates first-line ipilimumab N01 plus sintilimab and lenvatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (TFE3-rRCC), a rare subtype lacking established first-line systemic therapy. Eligible patients (age ≥14 years, ECOG ≤2, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, no prior systemic therapy) will receive ipilimumab N01 1 mg/kg Q6W for 4 cycles, sintilimab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles, and lenvatinib 12 mg or 8 mg QD continuously. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety per NCI CTCAE v5.0, and quality of life. Exploratory biomarker analyses will assess potential predictors of treatment response.
