In the past decade,with the implementation of policies to promote the research and develop-ment of rare disease drugs,the increase in the number of clinical trials for rare disease drugs has posed new challenges to ethical review.Clinical trials of rare disease drugs involve vulnerable populations with a small number of patients,scattered populations,and relative concentration in certain disease areas.The trials are mainly conducted in the early stages,often requiring small sample sizes,single arm designs,and more new technologies such as cellular and gene therapy.In addition to meeting the general requirements of clinical trials for common diseases,ethical review should also give special attention to the special characteristics of rare disea-ses in risk benefit assessment,research design,informed consent,trial operation,etc.Ethical review of clinical trials for rare diseases should effectively promote the development of new drugs for rare diseases and protect the rights and interests of participants.By analyzing the characteristics of clinical trials for rare diseases drugs,this paper presents the points of special concern during the review,aiming to improve the level of ethical review for clinical trials of drugs related to rare diseases.

Objective: To deliver macro understanding of the latest research progress on clinical trials and approved products of cancer drugs in China in 2019. Methods: The number of clinical trials and related investigational products by domestic and foreign enterprises in 2019 were acquired in the China Food and Drug Administration Registration and Information Disclosure Platform for Drug Clinical Studies, while listed drugs were obtained in the China Food and Drug Administration Query System for Domestic and Imported Drug. Characteristics on stage, scope, indication of those trials, classification and mechanism of involved products, as well as listed anticancer drugs were summarized and depicted. Results: There were 474 cancer drug trials registered in China in 2019, accounting for 21.8% of the total, and 397 (83.8%) were initiated by domestic pharmaceutical enterprises. Overall, international multicenter trials accounted for 13.1%, and phase I trials accounted for 47.3%. Compared with global enterprises, the proportion of international multi-center trials initiated by domestic companies is lower (4.8% vs. 55.8%, P<0.001), and the proportion of phase I clinical trials and bioequivalence trials is higher (51.9% vs. 23.4%, 19.4% vs. 1.3%, P<0.001). An accumulative of 27 cancer types were involved for all the cancer drug trials, and lung cancer, solid tumor, and breast cancer were the most common cancer types, with 103, 95 and 49 trials, respectively. For the three cancer types unique to Chinese population, gastric, liver and esophageal cancer, the total number of initiated trials was 47. For all those trials, there were 335 cancer drug varieties, with 86.0% developed by domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, including 300 therapeutic drugs, 30 adjunctive drugs and 5 preventive drugs. In terms of mechanism, targeted drugs and immune drugs were the most popular, accounting for 74.6% and 20.3%, respectively. In addition, 17 anticancer drugs targeting on 11 cancer types were approved in China in 2019. Conclusions: Clinical trials on cancer drugs in China have ushered a booming era, with large number of innovative agents represented by targeted drugs and immune drugs under clinical development or putting into clinical practice. Those local enterprises are playing more and more critical roles. Strengthening clinical research and development on Chinese unique cancer types is the key direction of future work.
In order to achieve the overall victory over 2019 novel coronavirus disease epidemic, especially to prevent the disease recurrence from rebounding during the resumption of labor, the government has not loosened any control of personnel mobility, which has obviously affected the normal examination and treatment of lung cancer patients under the influence of this epidemic. During the epidemic period, cancer patients with low immunity levels face the double ordeals of disease and epidemic situation. Compared with the general population, they are more likely to be infected with the new coronavirus. Among the infected cancer patients, lung cancer is the most common type. It is necessary to provide more appropriate individualized treatment recommendations for patients with lung cancer based on the epidemic situation of the patient's location and in combination with the patient's own condition. Through active prevention of infection, timely conversion of treatment strategies, online and offline joint control, and positive psychological counseling, we do our best to help patients with lung cancer to survive this difficult period.

罕见病由于诊断治疗困难,在全球范围内都是影响人类健康的重要问题.近年来罕见病的临床研究不断增多,但研究相关的伦理学问题容易被忽视.本文通过分析罕见病人群和罕见病研究的特点,提出罕见病临床研究需要从研究的目的、方案设计、风险收益分析和知情同意等不同环节关注伦理学问题,旨在提高研究者的伦理意识,帮助伦理委员会开展相关审查,最终提高罕见病临床研究的伦理水平.
无论罕见病还是常见病,缩短药物研发上市的时间是各方的共同需求,这对于大多数尚无有效治疗方法的罕见病而言尤为重要.美国罕见病药物相关激励政策出台时间最早,因此罕见病药物临床试验数量最多,中国的临床试验数量正在逐渐增加.罕见病的药物临床试验以罕见肿瘤为主,目前多为Ⅱ期试验.临床试验作为孤儿药研发中的重要环节,除需要政策支持,在试验设计和实施中还存在很多问题,如对自然病程和发病机制缺乏了解、无法实施随机对照试验、有待更为新颖的试验设计和敏感的终点指标、入组困难、存在伦理冲突等.这些问题的解决有待政府部门、制药企业、医疗机构、患者组织等多方努力才能共同实现.
人类遗传资源是孕育尖端生物科技的知识宝库、是精准医学的基石.随着基因诊断及个性化诊疗的推进,涉及人类遗传资源的研究激增.人类遗传资源人格与财产、物质与信息的双重属性也给伦理审查带来了挑战.涉及遗传资源研究伦理审核的难点主要包括如何落实知情同意和如何做好受试者保护、如何平衡个体与家庭的利益、处理概括同意与具体同意的关系以及受试者获益等.在此基础上,提出相关医学伦理困境的反思与解决策略:健全现有法律体系,提升人类遗传资源管理文件的效力层级;完善人类遗传资源管理的条款及规定,将知情同意法律化;完善伦理治理规范,利用规范的灵活性对不宜写入法律的有关内容进行约束;应明确规定权利主体及人类遗传资源开发利用所衍生权益归属问题,遗传资源保护与技术共赢"两手抓,两手都要硬".

Objective To analyze the image quality of coronary arteries by dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) in children with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods Image quality of coronary arteries were scored by two radiologists with an ordinal grading system. Score 3 or 4 was considered to be good image quality and diagnostic. Score differences among 3 groups of various baseline heart rate levels, 3 groups of various age levels and 4 coronary branches were analyzed by using ANOVA. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the effects of age, heart rate, tube voltage, tube current, pitch, contrast volume, contrast injection rate on the coronary image scores. Results A total of 72 consecutive patients were enrolled. 71.2% (205/288) of coronary artery branches was good enough for diagnosis. Image quality of left main coronary artery (LM, score 3.64±0.49), left anterior descending (LAD, score 2.97±0.40), right coronary artery (RCA, score of 2.82±0.70), left circumflex (LCX, score 2.76±0.73) were in a descending order (F=29.00, P<0.01). Image scores of age groups of 0--1 years old (2.80±0.65), >1--3 years old (2.81±0.74), >3--14 years old (3.58±0.52) were in an ascending order (F= 20.16,P<0.01). Image scores of heart rate groups of<100 bpm (3.54±0.56),100--150 bpm (2.86± 0.70) and >150 bpm (2.81±0.63) were in a descending order (F=16.72, P<0.01). Multiple linearregression analysis demonstrated that multiple impact factors affected image quality of LM, LAD, LCX and RCA. Age(r=0.013 ,P<0.01)and contrast volume(r=0.292, P<0.01)had positive correlation with LM score. Age(r=0.509, P<0.01) and voltage (r=0.292, P=0.011) had positive correlation with LAD score. Heart rate(r= -0.179, P<0.05) had negative correlation with LAD score. Age (r=0.063, P< 0.01) had negative correlation with LCX score. Age (r=0.486,P<0.01) and voltage (r=0.220, P<0.05) had positive correlation with RCA score. Conclusions Dual-source CT could clearly shows coronary arteries of children with CHD over the age of 3 or with heart rate less than 100 bpm. Limitations of Dual-source CT coronary angiography for CHD children included young age and fast heart rate.

Objective:To improve the understanding of cardiovascular involvement in Behcet's disease(BD). Methods:The Echocardiographic manifestations on 69 in-patients with BD in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results:52.2%(36/69 ) patients showed abnormal echocardiographic findings,in those patients,valvular regurgitation (61.1%),pericardial effusion(41.7%),pulmonary artery hypertension(38.8%) and enlarged heart chambers(36.1%) were more common.Aortic dilation,cardiomyopathy,old myocardial infarction and intracardiac thrombus were also found in those BD patients. Conclusion:There were many echocardiographic manifestations in BD patients.The principle findings were aortic valve prolapse, perforation,tear and regurgitation,those pathologic changs especially combined with valvular ring perforation,dilated aorta and aortic dissection.Pulmonary artery pressure should be measured in every BD patient.Echocardiography played an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up examination in BD patients for their cardiovascular involvements and transesophageal echocardiography could provide additional information in some cases.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic values of MSCT for detecting atherosclerotic plaques on New Zealand rabbits models in comparison with pathologic results. Methods Fifteen New Zealand rabbits were enrolled in this study, including 5 with balloon injury and high-fat diet ( group A), 5 with high-fat diet only (group B) and 5 with regular feed (group C). 16th week late, contrast-enhanced MSCT scan was performed in all rabbits with 16 slice MSCT (16-MSCT) in group A and 64 slice MSCT (64-MSCT) in group B and C. The CT and pathological findings were compared in a double-blind manner. The sensitivities and specificities of 16-MSCT and 64-MSCT for detecting atherosclerotic plaques were evaluated by using Fisher test and x2 test. Results Sixty and seventy-five images on 16-MSCT and 64-MSCT had corresponding pathological slices. The sensitivities for the detection of plaques on 16-MSCT and 64-MSCT were 41.5% (22/53) and 64. 9% (24/37), and spocificities of 85. 7% (6/7) and 89. 5% (34/38), respectively. Conclusions 64-MSCT has a higher sensitivity in the detection of atherosclerotic plaques than 16-MSCT. Both scanners can be used to preclude the diagnosis of atherosclerosis.
