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 purpose of this study is to understand how information of 3 specific biomarkers can provide guidance to physicians in the treatment of erbB2 positive breast cancer patients.
The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.
This is a randomized phase II study comprising of two treatment arms in patients who are previously untreated for metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy of CP-690,550 as compared to etanercept and the safety of CP-690,550 for treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
This open-label, non-comparative, multi-center study will assess the safety profile and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) when added to carboplatin and paclitaxel therapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Patients will receive 15 mg/kg Avastin intravenously on Day 1 of every cycle for up to 36 cycles of 3 weeks each, carboplatin (AUC 5-6 mg/ml/min) on Day 1 every 3 weeks for a maximum of 8 cycles and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 on Day 1 every 3 weeks or 80 mg/m2 every week for a maximum of 8 cycles. The anticipated time on study drug will be 108 weeks or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The purpose of this open-label, randomized, phase II study is to compare the safety and efficacy of dovitinib versus sorafenib as first-line treatment in adult patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). This trial will be opened in countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of zanamivir given intravenously and how well it works at two different doses in hospitalized adolescents and adults with flu. Zanamivir will be compared with oseltamivir, which is used for treating flu.
Demonstrate the technical feasibility of treating spine metastases with image-guided radiosurgery/SBRT
This is a study to determine whether therapy with pazopanib is effective and safe in Asian women with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer whose cancer has not progressed on first-line chemotherapy.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis in the world. The treatment of IgA nephropathy with normal renal function and minimal proteinuria is unknown. Since angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce proteinuria and retard the rate of decline of renal function in chronic proteinuric nephropathies, including IgA nephropathy. The investigators conduct a randomized control study to evaluate the efficacy of ACE inhibitor in the treatment of early IgA nephropathy. Sixty patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy and minimal proteinuria are recruited. They will be randomized to ramipril for 5 years or no treatment. Blood pressure, proteinuria and renal function will be monitored. This study will explore the effects of ACE inhibitor in the treatment of early IgA nephropathy, which is a major cause of dialysis-dependent renal failure.
