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 investigators hypothesize that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to impaired glucose homeostasis and associated vasculopathy, and nCPAP treatment of OSA should improve glycemic control and vascular function in OSA patients with type II diabetes mellitus. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of nCPAP on glycemic control and vascular function in patients with OSA and type II diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this Phase III study was to confirm the value of adding everolimus to weekly paclitaxel and trastuzumab as treatment of HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis in the world. Current treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) is not entirely effective. Aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, acts on the rate limiting step of the renin-angiotensin axis. In addition to lowering the blood pressure, recent study in diabetic nephropathy suggests an independent anti-proteinuric effect. The investigators plan to conduct a randomized placebo-control cross-over study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aliskiren in the treatment of IgA nephropathy. The investigators plan to recruit 57 patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy and persistent proteinuria despite conventional therapy. They will be randomized to aliskiren for 16 weeks or no treatment, followed by cross over to the other arm after a washout period. Proteinuria, albuminuria, renal function, serum and urinary markers will be quantified. This study will explore the potential anti-proteinuric effect of aliskiren in the treatment of IgA nephropathy, which has no specific treatment at present.
The purpose of ENGAGE is to prospectively collect global 'real world' data on the Endurant Stent Graft System from AAA subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin (CMC-544) in subjects with indolent Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) that is refractory or has relapsed after multiple therapies including rituximab or radioimmunotherapy. The investigational drug will be given to subjects with indolent NHL by intravenous infusion at a dose of 1.8 mg/m2, every 4 weeks.
The study investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of a 10-day course of therapy with daily intravenous administration of 30mL Cerebrolysin based on a comparison with Placebo in patients with acute ischemic stroke. 1070 patients were randomized in this trial in 2 parallel groups, one receiving Cerebrolysin, the control group receiving Placebo. Study drug will be given once daily by intravenous infusion for 10 consecutive days. Acetylsalicylic acid will be given orally, once daily throughout the study duration of 90 days as basic treatment. The clinical observation period for each patient will be 3 months and will include six clinical evaluation visits at Baseline (day 1) and on study days 2, 5, 10, 30 and 90.
This was a study to determine whether therapy with pazopanib was effective and safe in women with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer whose cancer had not progressed on first line chemotherapy.
The aim of this prospective, non-interventional post-marketing surveillance study is to obtain data on safety and efficacy of Mirena in treatment of prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) under daily-life treatment conditions. It is planned to conduct the study in about 10 countries with a total of 1000 patients. In several countries, a comparator group will also be documented. For each patient, an initial visit and one to three follow-up visits after about 3, 6 and 12 months will be documented by the treating physician on the case report form. Observations include the patient's demographic parameters (date of birth, height, weight, race and smoking habits), previous contraceptives and menorrhagia treatment, gynaecological history, baseline menstruation, result of insertion, concomitant medications and diseases as well as menorrhagia symptoms. Overall treatment success will be evaluated at the end of treatment including number of weeks until improvement and reduction of menstrual bleeding with respect to duration and severity, and patient's satisfaction.
The purpose of the study is to see if sorafenib plus best supportive care (i.e. in addition to the non-cancer treatments patients would normally receive) is an effective treatment for lung cancer compared to best supportive care alone. The safety and tolerability of the two treatment groups will also be compared. The goal of the study is to test the ability of sorafenib to improve survival compared to best supportive care alone.
There are no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on a non steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI). In light of the need for new treatment options for postmenopausal women after failure of prior NSAI therapy, the purpose of this Phase III study is to compare efficacy and safety of a treatment with exemestane + everolimus to exemestane + placebo in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer refractory to NSAI.
