There are about 3753 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Hong Kong. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to confirm the efficacy and safety of Dupilumab monotherapy in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
The study aims to test the effectiveness of a nurse-led psycho-education program based on motivational interviewing technique for Chinese patients with first-onset mental illness over a 12-month follow-up. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 180 Chinese patients with schizophrenia newly referred to one outpatient clinic in Hong Kong. They will be randomly assigned to either the eight-session nurse-led psycho-education program or usual psychiatric outpatient care (both n=90). The patients' general and mental health, illness insight, self-efficacy, services utilization, and hospitalization rates were measured at recruitment and one week, six months and 12 months post-intervention. Note: Those who were approached in the clinic and not eligible to participate in this trial will be invited to participate in another controlled trial. The controlled trial tests the effects of a self-help problem-solving based bibliotherapy program (SPBB) for Chinese family caregivers in recent onset psychosis (not more than 1 year onset) at one psychiatric clinic, in comparison to routine outpatient service and family support (control group) for 116 randomly selected family caregivers of outpatients with psychotic disorders over a 6-month follow-up.)
The objective of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of radium 223 dichloride in subjects with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative hormone receptor positive breast cancer with bone metastases treated with exemestane and everolimus After implementation of CSP Amendment 10, only a limited number of subjects will remain in this study, in order to reduce the burden to study subjects, collection of data will be reduced and will focus mainly on acute safety, SSE, and OS. Once subjects are rolled over, the long-term safety will be collected and assessed entirely in the separate extended safety follow-up study.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost SR in participants with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The study includes a 12-month treatment period with an 8-month extended follow-up.
Objectives: To study the immediate effect and the persistent effect of Lycium barbarum (LB) treatment on retinal functions, especially the cone function, and retinal structure in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) Design: Randomised controlled double-masked trial Setting: Primary Care clinical trial Participants: 120 RP subjects will be recruited from Ophthalmology department at The University of Hong Kong and the Retina Hong Kong. Interventions: Subjects will be randomly allocated to LB (treated with LB granules) or control (treated with placebo) groups for 1 year. After the 1st year, both groups will stop the treatment and all subjects will also have the same eye exam in 6-month period for the 2nd year. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome is the total sensitivity scores of 30-2 & 60-4 programmes of Humphrey Visual Field Analysis (HVFA). The secondary outcomes are the b-wave amplitudes of Full-field Electroretinogram (ffERG) responses, the amplitudes of direct component and induced component of Multifocal Electroretinogram (mfERG), and the ETDRS visual acuity.
This trial will enroll approximately 6,000 patients with recent embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS). Patients will be randomized to dabigatran or acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) (1:1 ratio) and have visits every three months. The study doctor may prescribe blinded concomitant ASA for pts with coronary artery disease but this is not mandatory. All Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), outcome events will be recorded. The trial will conclude when the required number of stroke events are positively adjudicated which is estimated to take 3 years (including 2.5 years of enrollment).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate comparative efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban to standard of care in children with acute venous thromboembolism.
The purpose of this study was to collect safety and tolerability data on LCZ696 in eligible PARADIGM-HF patients who received open-label investigational drug. The parent PARADIGM-HF (NCT01035255) trial was terminated early due to compelling efficacy of LCZ696 in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after the final pre-specified interim analysis in March 2014.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of OMS721 in patients with thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA).
Part A (Phase IIa): Primary objectives: The study part A is designed to investigate whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the regorafenib eye drops. Part B (Phase IIb): Primary objectives: The study part B is designed to investigate: - how often the regorafenib eye drops need to be given per day - whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate how the different dosings of regorafenib eye drops affect patients vision, the safety and the tolerability.
