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.
Profession-led psycho-education programs for people with schizophrenia are evidenced to improve patients' knowledge about the illness, mental state and relapse rate. Nevertheless, other benefits to patients, for example, their functioning and insight into illness or to be substantive in a longer term (>12 months) are inconsistent and uncertain, especially in Asian populations. This single-blind multi-site randomized clinical trial was to test the effects of a peer-expert-led psycho-education group intervention (in addition to usual care) for adult patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders over a 24-month follow-up, in comparison to a profession-led psycho-education group or treatment-as-usual only.
The study was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of Vilaprisan in subjects with uterine fibroids compared to standard of care
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy + Standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy or durvalumab monotherapy + SoC chemotherapy versus SoC chemotherapy alone as first line treatment in patients with metastatic non small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tumors that lack activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug abemaciclib in participants with high risk, node positive, early stage, hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-), breast cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how long subjects with esophageal cancer live overall or live without disease progression after receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab or nivolumab combined with fluorouracil plus cisplatin versus fluorouracil plus cisplatin
The study aims to test if combination of quizartinib (AC220) and omacetaxine mepesuccinate (OM, also known as homoharringtonine) results in durable composite complete remission (CRc) in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carrying FLT3-ITD (Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 - Internal Tandem Duplication).
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder of the gastrointestinal tract affecting up to 20 percent of the adolescent and adult populations. It is characterised by abdominal pain, irregular bowel habits, altered stool consistencies and bloating, and is associated with impaired quality of life. IBS can be categorised into diarrhoea predominant type (IBS-D), constipation predominant type (IBS-C), and mixed type (IBS-M). Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) defined as infusion of feces from healthy donors to affected subjects has shown impressive results with high cure rates in patients with recurrent clostridium difficile infections. The investigators propose a randomised, placebo-controlled trial of FMT in patients with IBS.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are caused by the loss of mucosal tolerance towards the commensal microbiota resulting in inflammatory responses. Identifying intestinal bacteria in mother and newborn of both IBD and Control groups allow us to understand the change of bacterial composition human microbiome in the gut during pregnancy and childhood development.
The study consists of 4 sub-studies, as follows: - Sub-study 1 (Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab versus placebo as maintenance therapy in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who responded to intravenous risankizumab induction treatment in Study M16-006 or Study M15-991; - Sub-study 2 (Randomized, exploratory maintenance study) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens for risankizumab as maintenance therapy in participants who responded to induction treatment in Study M16-006 or Study M15-991; - Sub-study 3 (Open-label, long-term extension study) to evaluate long-term safety of risankizumab in participants who completed Sub-study 1, Sub-study 2, another AbbVie risankizumab Crohn's disease study, or participants who responded to induction treatment in Study M16-006 or Study M15-991 with no final endoscopy due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Additional objectives are to further investigate long-term efficacy and tolerability of risankizumab; - Sub-study 4 (Open-label On Body Injector (OBI) administration and long-term extension study) to evaluate patient-reported outcomes, efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of risankizumab administered via OBI in participants who are receiving maintenance treatment with risankizumab. - OL CTE to ensure uninterrupted care in accordance with local regulations until risankizumab is commercially available for participants who completed Sub-study 3, Sub-study 4.
This study includes two periods. The main objective of Period 1 is to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) and 30 mg QD versus placebo and versus adalimumab (Humira®) in participants with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have had an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs (DMARD-IR). Period 1 is also designed to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD versus placebo for the prevention of structural progression. The objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD in participants who have completed Period 1.
