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.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE mediated chronic inflammatory disease of the upper airways characterized by symptoms of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction . However, not only this disease is difficult to cure, but also its relapse rate is high, therefore exerting a certain impact on their daily life, work and study. Nowadays, the main treatment for allergic rhinitis is the use of western medicine, such as steroids and antihistamines. However, many clinical studies have found that the curative effect of western medicine is often not ideal. Allergic rhinitis belongs to the category of "Rhinitis" in Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this disease is resulted from the deficiency of Qi and Yang Qi in the lungs, spleen and kidneys. Therefore, according to Chinese medicine theory, tonifying lung and spleen qi is the treatment principle for AR patients. Among different Chinese herbal formulae for AR, Yupingfeng san is commonly used for allergic diseases and in AR patients, due to its warm nature and able to improve the functions of the lungs and spleen. Yupingfeng san can improve symptoms and quality of life, as well as decrease the levels of interleukin and IgE in AR patients. This study will use Yupingfeng Powder with variation to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating AR. Hence, this study would be able to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Yupingfeng Powder with variation for AR.
Stroke and its sequelae are a major indication for acupuncture. The specific aims of this study are to assess the feasibility of pragmatic clinical trial on acupuncture in primary care setting and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for stroke rehabilitation in Hong Kong.
Urticaria is a common skin disorder and 15-25% of people experience at least one attack of urticaria during their lifetime. Urticaria can be divided into acute urticaria (AU) and chronic urticaria (CU). CU is more common in adults, and affects women more frequently than men. According to Chinese medicine (CM) theory, CU is known as Yin Zhen. Nowadays, CM is widely used for managing CU in Hong Kong and mainland. Among different Chinese herbal formulae for urticaria, Xiao-Feng Powder (XFP), also known as Wind-Dispersing Powder, is one of the most frequently used Chinese herbal formulae for CU. This study used modified Xiao-Feng Powder (mXFP) to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mXFP in treating CU. Hence, a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial design with strong scientific rigor will be employed in this study, and it would be able to provide robust clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of mXFP for CU.
This is a Phase III, global, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study evaluating the efficacy and safety of adjuvant giredestrant compared with endocrine therapy of physician's choice in participants with medium- and high-risk Stage I-III histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer. In addition, an open-label exploratory substudy will explore the safety and efficacy of giredestrant in combination with abemaciclib in a subset of the primary study population.
A global phase 3, multicenter, randomized, trial, to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Durvalumab in combination with Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab in combination with Enfortumab vedotin for Perioperative Treatment in Patients Ineligible for Cisplatin or who refuse Cisplantin Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. The goal of the study is to explore the triplet combination of Durvalumab, Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin in terms of efficacy and safety compared to the current Standard Of Care (SOC). Volga trial consists of two parts: Safety Run-In and Main Study. In total the study aims to enroll approximately 830 patients, who will receive triplet combination, duplet combination of Durvalumab and Enfortumab vedotin or currently approved SOC in the main trial. In the main part of the trial there is two out of three chances of being on a treatment arm and the treatment is assigned at random by a computer system. In this trial patients in the two treatment arms will receive either 3 cycles of neoadjuvant Durvalumab + Tremelimumab + Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab + Enfortumab vedotin and after surgery both treatment arms will continue with adjuvant Durvalumab.
This is a long-term follow-up study to assess durability of efficacy, as measured by SVR, in participants who have received prior treatment with GSK3228836 and achieved a complete or partial response. No further treatment with GSK3228836 will be administered in this study.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy compared with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line intervention in participants with metastatic esophageal carcinoma The primary hypotheses are that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy is superior to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with respect to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
The objective of this study is to identify the minimum effective dosage of a commonly used local anaesthetic drug "levobupivacaine" required to produce an effective ultrasound guided (USG) superior trunk block (STB) in at least 90% of patients for shoulder arthroscopic surgeries.
The proposed trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for psychological well-being in stroke family caregivers.
The study aims to collect data on ERBT globally in order to clarify its role in the management of bladder cancer over a 5-year observation period.
