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.
As technology advances, vitrectomy cutters are smaller and cut rates have become faster. In this prospective study, the vitrectomy efficiency and safety between 5,000 cuts per minute with 10,000 cuts per minute are compared
This multicountry, multicenter, retrospective, non-interventional study involving patients diagnosed with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer mBC will be conducted to understand the demographic and clinico-pathological profile of the patients, diagnostic practices for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, current treatment landscape and sequencing of therapies, associated burden of toxicities with all lines of treatment (LOTs), and survival outcomes in the real-world setting.
The investigator's hypothesis is that a CADe system (ENDO-AID) would improve the adenoma detection rate in junior endoscopists.
This pilot randomized controlled trail aims to test the effects of AR enhanced pictorial effects in harms of smoking and benefit of smoking cessation.
Due the uncertainty of the pandemic wave and government restrictions that may affect health care services and behaviour, alternative mhealth strategies should be explored to identify breastfeeding support or problems early to prevent subsequent cessation that may affect mother and child health. It is also important to understand the feasibility of a WhatsApp online group on breastfeeding by peer counsellors during postnatal period and the acceptability of such intervention. Therefore this study will provide preliminary information necessary for implementation of a full RCT of mhealth intervention in the future. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a WhatsApp online peer support group program in improving breastfeeding practices. There have been no published studies that have examined the feasibility and acceptability of a Whatsapp online group on breastfeeding for postnatal women in Hong Kong. Given the significant pandemic problem that may affect health services and health behavior of pregnant women, the proposed study will contribute substantial new information about the feasibility and potential implications for future care pathways for postnatal women. Such information will be invaluable to public health professional working to breastfeeding promotion and to health policy makers in setting institutional policies.
Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected more than 124 million people worldwide as of 23/3/2021. While studies on the outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (an important gastroenterological disease requiring immunosuppressive therapies for treatment) patients with COVID-19 have been published recently, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical outcomes and management of IgG4 related disease patients with pancreatobiliary involvement. Because the number of IgG4 patients with pancreatobiliary involvement cared by individual centers and the prevalence of COVID-19 infection in different geographical regions vary, we propose to conduct a multicenter retrospective study to further evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical outcomes and management of IgG4 related disease patients with pancreatobiliary involvement.
Hong Kong Chinese speaking men who have sex with men completed a baseline survey, and then received an online intervention promoting uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. All participants are followed up by telephone 12 months after the completion of baseline survey.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dosing regimens of pozelimab and cemdisiran combination therapy during the open-label treatment period (OLTP) The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on the following parameters of intravascular hemolysis: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) control, breakthrough hemolysis, and inhibition of total complement hemolysis activity (CH50) - To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on hemoglobin levels - To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements - To evaluate the effect of the combination treatment on clinical outcome assessments (COAs) measuring fatigue and health related quality of life - To assess the concentrations of total pozelimab in serum and total complement component (C) 5 and cemdisiran in plasma - To assess immunogenicity to pozelimab and cemdisiran - To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pozelimab and cemdisiran in an optional open-label extension period (OLEP) - To assess safety after treatment intensification with pozelimab and cemdisiran
The present study seeks to examine the efficacy of multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the primary motor cortex in people with Parkinson's disease on sequential motor learning performance.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multicentre, retrospective study designed to determine the treatment patterns and associated survival rate in patients with primary stage IA to IIIB resectable NSCLC diagnosed between 01 January 2013 and 31 December 2017 and followed until at least 31 December 2020 The main objective of this study is to describe the treatment patterns and determine their associated 3-year survival rate according to clinical and pathologic staging in patients with resectable early-stage (IA to IIIB as per AJCC seventh edition) NSCLC.
