This study investigates whether combining bariatric surgery with a GLP-1 receptor agonist (semaglutide) leads to greater and more sustained weight loss than surgery alone in people with obesity. Researchers will follow 400 participants across multiple centers in China for up to t…

This trial tests a silicone valve placed in the airways to reduce overinflated parts of the lung in people with severe emphysema. The valve lets trapped air escape, which may improve breathing and daily function. Participants receive either the valve plus standard care or standar…

This study tests a special cartridge (pHA130) added to regular dialysis to remove toxins that standard dialysis misses. One hundred adults with kidney failure on maintenance dialysis will be split into two groups: one gets the new cartridge once a week plus standard dialysis twic…

This study looks at whether adding a GLP-1 weight-loss drug after bariatric surgery helps people with obesity lose more weight and avoid regaining it. About 200 Chinese adults aged 18-60 who are having sleeve gastrectomy will be randomly assigned to get the drug or not. The goal …

This study tests whether JAK inhibitors work better than calcineurin inhibitors as the first treatment for lung scarring in people with antisynthetase syndrome. About 80 adults with active lung disease will be followed for 12 months to see which drug improves breathing and surviv…

This study is testing whether adding traditional Chinese medicine (like herbs or acupuncture) to standard Western treatment helps people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine. Researchers will follow 790 patients for 6 months to see if their abil…

This study looks at whether adding a GLP-1 drug (semaglutide) to bariatric surgery helps people with severe obesity lose more weight and keep it off. About 200 adults aged 18-60 with a BMI of 35 or higher and related health issues will be followed for a year. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether combining traditional Chinese medicine with standard Western treatments can better control spine inflammation and slow damage in people with ankylosing spondylitis. About 210 adults aged 18-75 will be followed for up to two years. The goal is to see if…

This study is testing a new single-port robot to help perform weight loss surgery in 50 overweight or obese adults. The goal is to see if the robot makes the surgery safer and more effective, while also reducing surgeon fatigue. Participants must have a BMI of 27.5 or higher and …

This study tests whether using a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) during a chest camera procedure can better diagnose unexplained pleural disease. About 158 adults with fluid around the lungs that standard tests couldn't diagnose will be randomly assigned to get…

This study tests whether giving an intravenous iron infusion three days before bariatric surgery can prevent anemia and improve quality of life in obese patients with iron deficiency. Researchers will enroll 200 participants and compare those who receive iron to those who get a p…

This study tests a new, ultrasound-guided acupotomy technique to improve symptoms in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that causes back pain and stiffness. About 60 adults with active disease will receive the treatment to see if it reduces pain and improves …

This study tests a drug called macitentan in 40 adults with chest pain that isn't caused by blocked arteries (non-obstructive angina). The goal is to see if the drug improves blood flow in the tiny heart vessels and reduces chest pain. Participants will take macitentan for 4 week…

This study follows 2250 Chinese adults with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine) to see how their condition changes over time. Researchers will measure physical function, spinal damage on X-rays, and episodes of eye inflammation. The goal…

This large study in China will enroll 12,000 heart disease patients who have had or will have a stent procedure (PCI). Researchers will collect blood samples, imaging, and health data to train an artificial intelligence system. The goal is to predict which patients are likely to …

This study follows 150 people with Takayasu's arteritis that also affects the lung arteries. Researchers will track their health over time, including how far they can walk in six minutes and their risk of death. The goal is to better understand the disease and its long-term outlo…

This study tests whether a set of quality improvement tools—including guidelines, care protocols, and a mobile app—can help hospitals in China better prevent blood clots in patients. About 5,800 hospitalized adults will take part across multiple hospitals. The goal is to see if t…
