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 study is being carried out to see if constant 3 days infusion of Nexium is effective in preventing rebleeding after an endoscopic treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of esomeprazole 20 mg od versus placebo for the prevention of gastric and/or duodenal ulcers in patients taking low-dose ASA.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin 100mg daily (recommended dose) is better than aspirin alone (100mg daily recommended dose) for preventing vascular events such as stroke and heart attack during approximately three years of follow-up in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major risk factor of vascular event such as elderly, blood pressure increase, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack or left ventricular dysfunction etc. The study will also accept patients with atrial fibrillation and unwilling to take oral anticoagulant therapy.
The purpose of this study was to determine if Irbesartan compared to Placebo would reduce the risk of vascular events such as heart attack, stroke, non-cerebral thromboembolic event and death in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and with at least one major risk of vascular events.
Phase II, multi-center, two-stage study utilising a randomised discontinuation design to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GW786034 (pazopanib) in adult subjects with locally recurrent or metastatic clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). After the interim analysis, the design was changed to an open label, single arm study with all subjects receiving pazopanib.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of roflumilast on lung function in patients with COPD. Roflumilast will be administered orally once daily in the morning at one dose level. The study duration consists of a baseline period (4 weeks) and a treatment period (12 weeks). The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast.
Adults who are taking opioid therapy for persistent non-cancer pain and have resulting opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) will be randomized (1:1) to alvimopan or placebo. The primary objective of this Phase 3 long-term safety study is to compare alvimopan with placebo for safety and tolerability in the treatment of OBD. Participants will be required to attend 8 clinic visits over approximately 1 year.
This clinical trial is being performed to investigate the effect of 12 weeks treatment with rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in bringing subjects to their established EAS LDL-C target goal.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of rimonabant 20 mg on HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol and on TG (triglycerides) plasma levels over a period of one year when prescribed with a hypocaloric diet (600 kcal deficit per day) in abdominally obese patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia (low HDL and/or high TG plasma levels). The secondary objectives are to evaluate specific metabolic parameters, visceral fat (in selected sites), safety and tolerability of rimonabant 20 mg.
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that a fixed dose combination of telmisartan 80 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg (T80/H25) is superior in reducing blood pressure after eight weeks compared with a fixed dose combination of telmisartan 80 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (T80/H12.5) in patients who fail to respond to six weeks treatment with T80/H12.5.
