Exploring the dynamics of ctDNA following neoadjuvant therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine treatment, and its potential to guide de-escalation of adjuvant chemotherapy

Although surgical resection is the gold standard for early breast cancer treatment, some patients cannot tolerate surgery due to medical conditions or refuse surgical treatment for cosmetic reasons. In recent years, the rapid development of ablation technology has provided new directions for breast cancer patients who are not suitable for surgical treatment. Ablation uses high or low temperatures to deactivate lesions or tissues, which are gradually absorbed by the body, achieving local treatment purposes. Its safety and efficacy have been preliminarily confirmed. As an advanced minimally invasive medical device independently developed in China, the combined cryo-thermal ablation system treats tumors using a combined mode of deep cryogenic freezing and high-intensity heating. It has been approved for ablation treatment of various solid tumors including lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This project proposes a prospective cohort design, based on the breast disease cohort database of Peking University People's Hospital Breast Center. It will enroll patients pathologically diagnosed with breast cancer, determined unsuitable for surgical treatment, and have received combined cryo-thermal ablation. The registered data will be used to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous ultrasound-guided cryo-thermal composite ablation in this population.

Given that pyrotinib has been proven to exert significant efficacy against HER2-positive advanced breast cancer in multiple Phase III studies, and the novel ADC drug disitamab vedotin has demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity, there remains insufficient real-world data on their sequential administration. This multicenter, prospective real-world study plans to enroll 500 patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer receiving first-line or second-line treatment. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential disitamab vedotin treatment after disease progression or intolerance to pyrotinib-based regimens (first-line: pyrotinib plus trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy; second-line: pyrotinib plus capecitabine). The primary endpoint is real-world second progression-free survival (rwPFS2), while secondary endpoints cover real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), tumor response, overall survival (OS), time to treatment failure, safety profiles and patient-reported outcomes. It is currently expected to further validate the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer in the real-world setting, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recindopril trastuzumab following pyrotinib-containing regimens.

* This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized clinical trial evaluating a ctDNA-guided approach to de-escalate adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer. The study aims to determine if combining the CDK4/6 inhibitor Dalpiciclib with endocrine therapy can reduce the need for chemotherapy while maintaining clinical benefits. * Key Details ： 1. Participants: 393 women (aged 18-75) with early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer at high risk of recurrence (e.g., tumor size ≥2 cm, lymph node involvement, or high-grade tumors). 2. Design: Patients are randomized 1:4 to two groups: Group A (Chemotherapy) : Receives 4 cycles of taxane-based chemotherapy before surgery. Group B (Experimental) : Receives Dalpiciclib + aromatase inhibitor (AI) for 4 cycles pre-surgery. Post-surgery, treatment is adjusted based on ctDNA results. 3. Primary Goals ： Assess ctDNA clearance rate (conversion from detectable to undetectable ctDNA) after neoadjuvant therapy in Group B. Evaluate 3-year event-free survival (EFS) in Group B (e.g., freedom from cancer recurrence, progression, or death). Secondary Goals ： Safety of Dalpiciclib + endocrine therapy. Tumor response rates (e.g., complete cell cycle arrest, pathological remission). Correlation between ctDNA clearance and long-term outcomes. * Why This Matters ： Current guidelines recommend chemotherapy for high-risk HR+ breast cancer, but it often causes significant side effects. This study explores a personalized approach using ctDNA-a blood-based biomarker-to identify patients who may safely avoid chemotherapy without compromising survival. If successful, it could shift clinical practice toward less toxic, targeted therapies for eligible patients.

This study plan aims to enroll adult patients diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are scheduled to receive T-cell-replete haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After obtaining written informed consent, participants will receive either reduced-toxicity Bu/Flu/Cy/ATG conditioning regimen (for patients aged ≥55 years) or standard myeloablative modified Bu/Cy+ATG conditioning regimen (for patients aged \<55 years) followed by unified post-transplant immunosuppression and supportive care. The objective is to prospectively characterize the 1-year transplant-related mortality and comprehensively evaluate hematopoietic engraftment, graft-versus-host disease, infection, relapse, survival outcomes and conditioning-related organ toxicity among all enrolled patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch (Xiqing) works to reduce protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) in adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It will also learn about the safety of Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch lower the blood levels of protein-bound uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate? What medical problems do participants have when taking Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch? Researchers will compare the levels of PBUTs before treatment (baseline) with those after treatment with Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch to see if it works to reduce these toxins. Participants will: Take Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch (Xiqing) 10 capsules per time, three times daily (each capsule 0.625 g, total daily dose 18.75 g) for 3 months. Visit the clinic every month for checkups and blood tests. Provide blood samples to measure protein-bound uremic toxin levels and routine safety parameters.

The goal of this observational study is to explore the effectiveness of aflibercept 8 mg in treating both treatment-naive and previously treated patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in a real-world setting. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the short-term and long-term efficacy outcomes of aflibercept 8 mg in treatment-naive or previously treated nAMD patients? What are the safety characteristics and the treatment patterns of aflibercept 8 mg in these patient populations? Participants will: Receive aflibercept 8 mg as part of their clinical treatment for nAMD. Undergo assessments to evaluate both the efficacy and safety of the treatment over the short and long term. Provide data on their visual acuity (BCVA) changes at multiple follow-up points (4 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months). Report any adverse events and treatment patterns during the study period. Have their central subfield thickness (CST) measured at specified intervals. This study will help inform clinical practices regarding the use of aflibercept in nAMD patients and contribute to understanding its effectiveness and safety in real-world settings.

Pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) are commonly found on chest CT scans. Some stay stable for years, while others slowly or rapidly turn into lung cancer. Doctors currently follow these nodules with repeated CT scans, but it is difficult to tell ahead of time which nodules will progress, how fast they will progress, and which ones can be safely monitored rather than immediately treated. This observational study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses each patient's series of CT scans over time to predict the long-term growth behavior of a GGN. The research team will collect three retrospective single-center cohorts from Peking University People's Hospital (a development cohort and two internal test cohorts, one from surgically resected patients and one from non-operated patients followed by serial CT) as well as a prospective multi-center validation cohort enrolled after the AI model is locked. For every patient, each GGN is automatically segmented in three dimensions on every CT scan. A deep learning model extracts imaging features at each timepoint and feeds the sequence of features, together with the actual times between scans, into a time-aware sequence model. The model is trained to predict (i) whether the nodule will show radiological progression at 1, 3, and 5 years after baseline, and (ii) which of four long-term growth patterns the nodule will follow: stable, slow progression, slow-then-rapid progression, or rapid progression. In patients who were ultimately resected, the histopathological diagnosis serves as a secondary reference standard. This is an observational study. No experimental treatment is given. All CT scans and clinical visits are part of routine clinical care.

This study is conducted under the ethics-approved project titled "Artificial Intelligence Solution for Simplifying the Diagnostic Workflow of Breast MRI''.The goal of this observational study is to develop an integrated breast MRI system that uses diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to create synthetic contrast-enhanced images. This system aims to diagnose and screen for breast cancer without the need for contrast agents, while using a generated risk score to perform imaging-based triage and risk stratification. Participants will include people aged 18 and older who require a breast MRI either for evaluation of a suspicious finding or for high-risk screening. This study seeks to answer two main questions: * Can synthetic contrast-enhanced images generated from DWI match real contrast-enhanced images in their ability to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions? * Can the risk score derived from DWI-based synthetic images enable imaging-level risk stratification, allowing people at lower risk to avoid contrast agent injection? Researchers will compare the quality of synthetic images against real contrast-enhanced images and will recruit radiologists to assess how well these images perform for diagnostic and screening tasks. MRI data from participants undergoing breast MRI will be used to train, validate, and test this integrated system.

This multicenter prospective clinical study focuses on elderly patients with lung cancer. We will build a standardized clinical registry database, develop perioperative risk stratification and surgical early-warning models, optimize individualized surgical regimens, construct multidisciplinary perioperative comprehensive therapy, integrated Chinese-Western medicine full-cycle management and personalized postoperative rehabilitation systems, so as to form a whole-process optimized treatment model for elderly lung cancer.

This is an exploratory clinical study focusing on the neoadjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study primarily aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Ivonescimab, a novel PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, with those of conventional PD-1 inhibitors. Beyond evaluating its direct therapeutic benefits, this research also seeks to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying the enhanced efficacy of Ivonescimab. Additionally, the study will conduct secondary exploratory analyses, including the identification and validation of predictive and prognostic biomarkers, as well as multi-omics profiling to investigate the molecular mechanisms of action. Collectively, these efforts aim to provide comprehensive experimental data to support the rational clinical application of Ivonescimab and the development of precision medicine strategies for NSCLC.

Severe aplastic anemia is a life-threatening bone marrow failure disorder. Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become an important curative treatment option for patients who do not have an HLA-matched sibling donor. Traditionally, haploidentical transplantation for severe aplastic anemia uses a graft composed of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-primed bone marrow plus peripheral blood stem cells. However, bone marrow collection is invasive and may increase donor burden. Peripheral blood stem cell collection is simpler and less invasive, but it remains unclear whether using peripheral blood stem cells alone provides similar clinical outcomes without increasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial will compare granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-primed peripheral blood stem cells alone with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-primed bone marrow plus peripheral blood stem cells as graft sources for haploidentical transplantation in patients with severe or very severe aplastic anemia. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either graft source group. The primary outcome is the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease within 100 days after transplantation. Secondary outcomes include engraftment, chronic graft-versus-host disease, infections, immune reconstitution, survival, and donor safety.

This cross-sectional study aims to further subdivide diabetes mellitus into more homogeneous subgroups by focusing on extreme glucose metabolism phenotypes, including monogenic diabetes with β cell dysfunction, hyperinsulinemia caused by excessive β cell secretion, and postprandial hypoglycemia phenotypes. By utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and the FreeStyle Libre 2 glucose monitoring device, this study will evaluate glycemic variability patterns in patients with extreme glucose metabolism phenotypes and perform comparative analyses using existing CGM data from healthy populations and patients with type 2 diabetes in our center's database. The study aims to address current gaps in understanding glycemic variability characteristics under extreme β cell functional states, provide novel dynamic monitoring evidence to support early identification, precise classification, and personalized management of these special metabolic states, and simultaneously screen for biomarkers to enable more accurate disease identification, thereby offering potential avenues for improving personalized treatment of diabetes mellitus.
