OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the current management of drug clinical trial institutions in Jiangxi Province and the situation of undertaking drug clinical trials after the implementation of the filing system. METHODS A survey was conducted on 38 new institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the filing system） and old institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the recognition system） that had completed drug clinical trial institution qualification filing for more than one year in Jiangxi Province. The survey focused on the basic information of the institutions， the number of registered principal investigator （PI）， institutional hardware and information construction， personnel allocation and training， and drug registration clinical trials undertaken by the institutions. RESULTS Of 38 institutions surveyed， there were 22 general hospitals and 16 specialized hospitals； there were 24 old institutions and 14 new institutions. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the old institutions were better than the new institutions in the number of approved beds， the number of outpatients， the number of inpatients， the number of specialties， and the number of PI； both old and new institutions had separate offices； all new institutions were set up with GCP pharmacy. The adoption of clinical trial management system in new institutions is significantly less than in old institutions. In the general hospital， both the number of full-time managers and the number of quality controllers in old institutions were significantly more than in the new institutions， while the opposite was true at the level of specialized hospitals. In terms of centralized training on GCP， new institutions were all better than the old ones. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the number of drug registration clinical trial projects undertaken by new institutions was significantly less than that of old ones. CONCLUSIONS The new institutions are worse than the old institutions in comprehensive strength and information construction of hospitals， and the number of clinical trials undertaken by new institutions is also less than old institutions.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Dienogest(DNG)with other drugs in non-surgi-cal pharmacologic treatment and long-term management of drugs after conservative surgery for endometriosis(EMT).Methods:We searched PubMed,Embase,Medline,Google Scholar,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang,and Weipu databases from the establishment of the database until December 31,2023 for relevant literature on EMT pharmacotherapy.Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software to assess the efficacy of DNG,gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a),compound short-acting oral contraceptive(COC)and levonorgestrel intrauterine sustained-release system(LNG-IUS)in reducing the diameter of ovarian endometrioma(OMA),relieving pelvic pain and preventing EMT postoperative recurrence in EMT pa-tients after non-surgical drug treatment and conservative surgery,as well as the adverse reactions of drugs.Re-sults:①During non-surgical medication treatment of EMT,there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between DNG and GnRH-a in reducing OMA diameter and relieving pelvic pain.Compared with COC,DNG was superior to COC in reducing the diameter of OMA(WMD 10.44 mm,P=0.017)and relieving pelvic pain(WMD 12.20 mm,P＜0.001).②During long-term medication management after conservative EMT surger-y:there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between DNG,GnRH-a,COC and LNG-IUS in re-ducing postoperative recurrence and controlling pelvic pain significant(P＞0.05).③Adverse drug reactions:com-pared with GnRH-a,DNG had a reduced risk of bone loss(bone density WMD2.78 g/cm3,P=0.038),hot fla-shes(OR 0.07,P＜0.001),and an increased risk of irregular vaginal bleeding(OR 19.10,P＜0.001);com-pared with COC,the risk of weight gain,mood abnormalities,and breast tenderness,nausea and vomiting,and sleep disorders in DNG were reduced(OR＜1,P＜0.05);compared with LNG-IUS,the risk of abnormalities of mood in DNG was increased(OR 9.87,P=0.033).Conclusions:DNG treatment is more effective than COC in non-surgical drug therapy for EMT.When supplemental medication was given after conservative EMT surgery,DNG,like other drugs,can effectively prevent postoperative recurrence and control pelvic pain.The safety of DNG is superior to GnRH-a and COC,slightly inferior to LNG-IUS.

Objectives:Fenofibric acid is extracted from the widely used hypolipemic fenofibrate,nowadays being approved for marketing around numerous nations and regions,nonetheless not in China.Present trial evaluated the efficacy and safety in the Chinese hypertriglyceridemia population. Methods:This is a multi-center,randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled phase Ⅲ clinical trial.Patients from 3 different cohorts,including severe hypertriglyceridemia(HTG),moderate HTG and mixed-dyslipidemia(MD),were randomized at 1:1 ratio to receive fenofibric acid 135 mg or placebo daily for 12 weeks.The primary endpoint was the percentage change of triglyceridemia(TG)from baseline at week 12.Secondary endpoints were the percentage changes of other blood lipid indexes.At the same time,the incidence of medical adverse events was observed. Results:Among the three cohorts of patients with severe HTG(n=52),moderate HTG(n=23)and MD(n=52),the TG levels in the fenofibric acid-treated group decreased by(49.12±29.19)%,(49.95±25.19)%and(49.79±19.28)%,respectively from baseline to 12 weeks,while the corresponding placebo groups decreased by(18.88±40.69)%,(8.11±29.86)%and increased by(10.42±73.04)%,respectively from baseline to 12 weeks.The differences between treatment and placebo groups were statistically significant(P<0.017 for severe HTG cohort,P<0.05 for moderate and MD cohort).The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in the fenofibric acid-treated group increased by(25.51±21.45)%,(24.55±24.73)%,and(23.60±27.38)%,and the placebo group increased by(1.91±20.42)%,(2.40±9.32)%and(7.13±19.12)%,respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(all P<0.05).In the fenofibric acid group,adverse events with incidence>5%included upper respiratory tract infection(10.9%),abdominal pain(6.3%),and increased serum creatinine levels(6.3%),rates of adverse events were similar between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions:Fenofibric acid can significantly reduce triglycerides and elevate HDL-C levels safely in Chinese patients with severe to moderate HTG without statin or MD patients on top of statin therapy.

Objective:To observe the effects and safety of dienogest on the volume and symptoms of ovarian endometrioma (OMA).Methods:The clinical data of 75 patients with OMA who underwent treatment with dienogest (2 mg/day) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 1st 2020 to March 31st 2024 were retrospectively analysed, mainly comparing the changes in the volume of OMA and the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of endometriosis-related pain before and after the treatment, as well as observing the changes in the blood biological indicators, liver and kidney function, coagulation function and changes in breast.Results:The median cyst volumes of the OMA patients at 3, 6 and 12 months of dienogest treatment were 13.21 cm 3 (volume reduction rate: 36.00%), 8.33 cm 3 (volume reduction rate: 56.00%) and 4.10 cm 3 (volume reduction rate: 77.62%), respectively, which were all significantly decreased from the pre-treatment period (all P<0.05). The VAS scores of pain of the OMA patients at 3, 6 and 12 months of dienogest treatment all were 0 mm. Blood cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) and cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) levels decreased progressively during treatment (all P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the coagulation indexes, liver and kidney function indexes of the patients during dienogest treatment compared with those before treatment (all P>0.05). During the follow-up period, there were a few patients with changes in the growth sites or lesion category of the breast nodules, but there were no occurrence of breast cancer or precancerous lesions. Conclusion:Dienogest is effective in reducing OMA volume and alleviating endometriosis-related pain with few adverse effects.
