The poster is effective in improving the level of knowledge regarding dental trauma of primary and secondary schools teachers in Hong Kong. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in mid May 2011,to test the level of knowledge regarding dental trauma with two groups, the intervention group with posters and control group without posters. A questionnaire is used to test the level of knowledge.
The purpose of this study is to further enhance the existing knowledge regarding the side effects of belimumab when given with other lupus medicines to adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study mainly focuses on collecting information on serious events that are not that common or may only be seen with long-term treatment. These events include death, serious infections and other infections of interest, cancers, serious mental health problems, including depression and suicide, and serious infusion and hypersensitivity reactions. This study is being done to help understand if treatment with belimumab increases the risk for these types of events. This study will also see if patients receiving belimumab with other lupus medicines can reduce their use of steroids, such as prednisone, over 1 year.
This retrospective study will evaluate the association of biomarkers and the treatment response of patients with chronic hepatitis B, who have completed therapy with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) ± lamivudine. For the analysis stored serum samples obtained from patients will be used; no actual patients are involved.
This two-cohort, open-label, multicenter study will assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of trastuzumab emtansine in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who have received prior anti-HER2 and chemotherapy-based treatment. Participants in Cohort 1 will be drawn from the general participant population; Cohort 2 will include only Asian participants.
The objective of this study is to gather data to establish the safety, performance and effectiveness of the INGEVITY pace/ sense leads.
A single-arm, open-label, two-stage multicenter, phase II study. Patients were pre-screened for ALK positive status. Treatment with LDK378 at 750 mg qd was continued until the patient experienced unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment, discontinued treatment at the discretion of the investigator or patient, started a new anticancer therapy and/or died. LDK378 was continued beyond RECIST defined progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator, if in the judgment of the investigator, there was evidence of clinical benefit. Patients who discontinued the study medication in the absence of progression continued to be followed for tumor assessment until the time of PD as assessed by the investigator. Male and female patients aged 18 or over with ALK-rearranged non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) were screened for eligibility. Patients had to have received no prior crizotinib, and had to be chemotherapy-naïve or been pretreated with cytotoxic chemotherapy (up to three prior lines).
A single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study. Treatment with LDK378 750 mg qd will continue until the patient experiences unacceptable toxicity that precludes further treatment, discontinues treatment at the discretion of the investigator or patient, starts a new anti-cancer therapy and/or dies. LDK378 may be continued beyond RECIST-defined PD as assessed by the investigator if, in the judgment of the investigator, there is evidence of clinical benefit. In these patients tumor assessment should continue as per the schedule of assessments until treatment with LDK378 is permanently discontinued. Patients who discontinue the study medication in the absence of progression will continue to be followed for tumor assessment until the time of PD as assessed by the investigator
This study will evaluate the effect of LCZ696 and valsartan on natriuresis, diuresis, and blood pressure in salt-sensitive Asian hypertensive patients.
This is a retrospective cost-minimization analysis study to compare the costs of treatment with EOF vs EOX regimens in patients with gastric cancer (GC) in Hong Kong. Patient baseline characteristics and cost data will be extracted from records and compared.
The purpose of the study is to compare the overall survival of BMS-936558 (Nivolumab) as compared with Docetaxel in subjects with non-squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy
