- From 2023 to 2024, our team had three H. pylori-related studies published in the prestigious international journal "Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology," and all were selected for the respective issue's cover. 1. Utilizing shotgun metagenomics sequencing, we found that the resistome transiently increases two weeks after second-line H. pylori eradication but returns to pre-treatment levels by the eighth week and one year. (Published in March 2023) 2. Molecular testing-guided therapy for H. pylori infection in both first-line and third-line therapy showed non-inferior efficacy compared to traditional susceptibility guided therapy guided. The results support the use of molecular testing-guided therapy for precision treatment of H. pylori infection. (Published in July 2023) 3. Meta-analysis analysis revealed an increase trend in primary resistance rates of clarithromycin, levofloxacin, and metronidazole for H. pylori in various Asia-Pacific countries, while the resistance rates for amoxicillin and tetracycline remained stable. Significant heterogeneity in antibiotic resistance among Asian countries was observed. (Published in January 2024)
- The Taiwan Breast Cancer Consortium (TBCC) conducted a collaborative study across multiple hospitals in Taiwan comparing the efficacy of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) alone versus WBRT preceded by combination therapy with Bevacizumab, Etoposide, and Cisplatin in untreated breast cancer patients with brain metastases. The paper has been published in JAMA Oncology, with Dr. Yen-Shen Lu listed as the corresponding author. Whole-Brain Radiotherapy Alone vs Preceded by Bevacizumab, Etoposide, and Cisplatin for Untreated Brain Metastases From Breast Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Oncol. Published online December 21, 2023. doi:10.1001/jamaoncol.2023.5456
- Immune cell therapy, as a new field of cancer treatment, has been rapidly developing worldwide over the past decade. The Hematology Department at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) has accumulated years of experience in cell therapy and early-phase clinical trials of drugs. They have established a clinical trial team for immune cell therapy and built a cell processing laboratory and clinical cell therapy center that meet clinical standards. They have actively engaged with many domestic biotech companies focused on developing cell therapies, from collaborating on preclinical product development to discussing details of early-phase clinical trial designs and execution, to conducting formal clinical trials. They aim to combine the clinical and industrial sectors to bring products to the clinical field to benefit patients. Both gene-unmanipulated adoptive cell therapy (ACT) and gene-manipulated chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) are the research targets of NTUH's immune cell therapy clinical trial team. The team will focus on the further clinical development of immune cell therapy in NTUH and Taiwan. The main directions include the following:A. Collaborative research and development of cell processes before clinical trials. B. Implementation of clinical trials for cell therapy. C. Establishment of Clinical Field for Cell Therapy. Since 2020, our project has embarked on a collaborative journey with both domestic and international biotech industries, initiating with preclinical research and progressively expanding into multinational clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy, encompassing Phase I/II and Phase III studies. Over the past four years, we have conducted a total of 141 CAR-T clinical trials in collaboration with five biotech and pharmaceutical companies worldwide, comprising 131 preclinical studies, 8 Phase I/II trials, and 2 Phase III trials. Notably, two CAR-T drugs developed in partnership with domestic biotech enterprises are preparing to commence Phase I clinical trials in the third quarter of this year. Furthermore, leveraging Taiwan's pioneering role in cellular therapy research, along with our robust infrastructure and environment, National Taiwan University Hospital has been distinguished as the first medical center in Taiwan to be certified by Novartis as a CAR-T center, offering the commercially available Kymriah for standard treatment. Since 2022, we have successfully completed 20 treatments, leading in the CAR-T cell therapy field in Taiwan.
