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 will investigate whether cyclooxygenase inhibition with celecoxib will add any benefit to preoperative chemotherapy alone for breast cancer patients.
This study will recruit 480 acute stroke patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis (M1 segment of Middle cerebral artery (MCA) or basilar artery). They will be randomly assigned into cilostazol group or clopidogrel group. Every patients will take 100mg of aspirin a day additionally. The primary outcome variable of this study is Progression rate of symptomatic intracranial stenosis on magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA).
This study is being conducted to compare the effectiveness of the combination of valtorcitabine and telbivudine to telbivudine alone in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the relative efficacy and assess the safety of CAIV-T compared to TIV.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Oceania, and South America. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment of Recombinant Factor VIIa (eptacog alfa (activated)) in patients with acute intracerebral bleeding. It is expected that more patients will recover without severe permanent disability after acute treatment with Recombinant Factor VIIa by reducing further intracerebral bleeding.
Hepatitis B virus causes inflammation of the liver which is detrimental to the end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis. Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for this high-risk population although the vaccine protection remains suboptimal and does not last long. The purpose of this study is to determine the best vaccination strategy over a 6-month period using recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B) in peritoneal dialysis patients. Current data show that the traditional Engerix-B vaccine dose (40 micrograms) does not always lead to protective and long-lasting hepatitis B surface antibody. The investigators, therefore, decided to compare the usual 40-micrograms with an 80-microgram dose strategy of vaccine protection.
The investigators study the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus in the treatment of membranous nephritis secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Litx™ treatment is safe and effective in treating inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Litx™ is an integrated treatment system comprising an intravenously administered photosensitizing agent, Talaporfin Sodium (LS11), that is activated by non-coherent light generated inside the tumor by an implanted light emitting diode (LED) array light source.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Botulinum A toxin is effective in the treatment of tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of rosiglitazone against a sulfonylurea in reducing or slowing the development of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels of the heart.
