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 is a 52-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center, active-controlled (glibenclamide) study of tesaglitazar in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on diet and lifestyle advice alone during the run-in period. The study comprises a 6 week placebo single blind run in period followed by a 52-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period. Tesaglitazar and glibenclamide will be titrated to optimal effect or highest tolerable dose during the first 12 weeks.
To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to compare it to the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine/cisplatin alone.
To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to compare it to the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel
This is a 107-week open-label, multi-center long-term extension study from GALLANT studies 2/22, 5, 7, 8 and 14 to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar 1 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes during up to 104 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 107 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of Clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin at 100mg daily (recommended dose) is as effective as oral anticoagulation therapy with a lower risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major cardiovascular risk factor.Primary objectives :The combination of clopidogrel plus aspirin compared to adjusted dose (INR between 2.0 and 3.3) oral anticoagulation (a vitamin K antagonist) will result in the same risk of the composite outcome of stroke, non-CNS systemic embolism, myocardial infarction or vascular death in patients with atrial fibrillation.The secondary objective is to establish whether or not aspirin plus clopidogrel has a lower risk of hemorrhage than standard anticoagulation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to monitor the performance of the Summit™ hip in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring a total hip replacement. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments.
This trial is conducted globally. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate that activated recombinant human factor VII (eptacog alfa (activated)) is safe and effective in severely injured trauma patients by assessing mortality and morbidity. Please note that this trial and trial F7TRAUMA-1648 (NCT00323570) have been merged.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether abetimus sodium is more effective than placebo in delaying time to renal flare in SLE patients with a history of renal disease.
This clinical research study will be an international trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a marketed drug compared to placebo (like a sugar pill) for the suppression of repeated genital herpes infections in HIV-infected subjects with CD4+ count <100 cells/mm3.
MTC-DOX is Doxorubicin or DOX, a chemotherapy drug, that is adsorbed, or made to "stick", to magnetic beads (MTCs). MTCs are tiny, microscopic particles of iron and carbon. When DOX is added to MTCs, DOX attaches to the carbon part of the MTCs. MTC-DOX is directed to and deposited in the area of a tumor, where it is thought that it then "leaks" through the blood vessel walls. Once in the surrounding tissues, it is thought that Doxorubicin becomes "free from" the magnetic beads and will then be able to act against the tumor cells. The iron component of the particle has magnetic properties, making it possible to direct MTC-DOX to specific tumor sites in the liver by placing a magnet on the body surface. It is hoped that MTC-DOX used with the magnet may target the chemotherapy directly to liver tumors and provide a treatment to patients with liver cancer. To be sure of the effect of MTC-DOX on liver cancer, it will be compared to the effect of Doxorubicin given through the vein. The study treatments will be administered every three weeks, (which is considered a study treatment cycle), until you complete six treatment cycles, the tumor grows, disappears, or you experience a side effect, which may cause you to leave the study. Follow-up visits will occur on Days 3, 10, and 21 following treatment in the first cycle and Days 7 and 21 for the remaining cycles, and also 60 days after you receive your last treatment cycle. Therefore, the purpose of this Phase 2/3 study is to evaluate safety, tolerance, and efficacy (survival time) of an MTC-DOX dosing strategy where the DOX dose is determined by tumor size
