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.
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM), compared with ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hypercholesterolemic adults unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin (HMG-CoA (5-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors).
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM) when used in combination with a statin, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
E7080-G000-304 is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, noninferiority Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib versus sorafenib as a first-line systemic treatment in participants with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
Since polymers have been identified as a possible cause of late complications of drug eluting stents, new stents are being designed to improve polymers' biocompatibility or to bond drugs on stents without polymers. Biolimus A9 is the therapeutic agent used in the BioFreedom drug coated stent. Biolimus A9 is a proprietary semi-synthetic sirolimus derivative. It is highly lipophilic, rapidly absorbed in tissues, and able to reversibly inhibit growth factor-stimulated cell proliferation. In this study, we use intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate the BioFreedom Stents after implantation regarding endovascular healing over time as primary objective; and also to evaluate secondary OCT, angiographic and clinical outcomes at various specific time points.
Helicobacter pylori (HP), a bacterium present in many people's stomachs, is one of the major causes of ulcers and cancers. Up to 20% of patients infected with H. pylori may develop peptic ulcers. However, failure rate is rising due to multiple resistant H. pylori infection. The eradication rate of first line clarithromycin based therapy has fallen to below 80%. Both quadruple and sequential treatment regime has been proposed as the first-line empirical regime. Nevertheless, comparison in terms of efficacy and side effects between the two regime remained unknown. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of H. pylori eradication with a 10-day quadruple therapy versus sequential therapy as empirical first and second line treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic CapSureFix Novus Model 5076 lead when patients are implanted with the Medtronic Advisa MRI pacemaker and undergo an MRI scan.
This is an international observational study in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are prescribed rivaroxaban under routine treatment conditions to prevent stroke or non-central nervous system systemic embolism.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether roxadustat is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease and not on dialysis.
Stent coverage and neo-intimal growth can be evaluated in-detail by intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is a catheter-based imaging technique. It is performed as part of the PCI procedure. OCT is the optical analogue of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), except that it can provide much higher resolution of coronary cross sectional images than IVUS. The LightLab C7XR OCT system (Frequency Domain OCT) used in this Hospital has obtained full CE Mark, approved by the US FDA, and approved for clinical use in Hong Kong. It has been shown to be safe in clinical settings and has been used in over 300 patients without complication at Queen Mary Hospital. In this study, stent coverage and neo-intimal growth between zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) and biolimus-eluting stents (BES) will be compared by using OCT at 9 month and specific post-intervention re-study intervals. The investigators objective is to investigate the clinical impact and OCT difference on early stent healing and late lumen loss between the two new-generation limus-eluting-stents - Resolute Integrity and Biomatrix, which differ in stent design, eluting drug and coating polymer.
The purpose of this study was to allow continued use of nilotinib in patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CD&MA) study and were benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator
