Impact of Chemotherapy Dose Reductions on Survival Outcomes Among Older NSCLC Patients Without Actionable Mutations
Evidence suggests that appropriately selected older adults can tolerate standard-dose chemotherapy and achieve survival outcomes comparable to younger patients. However, older adults are usually under-represented in clinical trials and often receive reduced doses of chemotherapy due to concerns regarding age-related frailty, polypharmacy, and toxicity. This study seeks to evaluate chemotherapy …
CAPA In-vitro Oocyte Maturation
In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) is a mild-approach assisted reproductive technology (ART). Because of its simplicity, the more favorable financial implications (reduced cost) for patients, and the lower health risk profile of IVM compared to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, the use of IVM in …
Minimum Effective Local Anesthetic Volume for Ultrasound Guided Superior Trunk Block
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.
Prospective RCT Lidocaine & Levobupivacaine on Block Dynamics After Subparaneural Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block
Sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa is indicated for foot or ankle surgery, and the introduction of ultrasound guidance (USG) has improved the ease and accuracy of the performance of this block. Recent studies proved that subparaneural injection is associated with faster block onset, higher block success rate, and …
Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Subsequent Auto-Transplantation for Female Cancer Patients
Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation will be provided to cancer patients to allow them to have their fertility preserved.
Effect of JAK Inhibitor on Erosion Healing in RA
Objective To investigate the effect of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition by baricitinib on erosion healing in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with active disease using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computer tomography(HR-pQCT). Hypothesis JAK inhibitor can lead to healing of existing erosion in RA patients with active disease. Design and subjects This is …
Implementing a Nurse-led Advance Care Planning (ACP) Intervention in Residential Care Homes
The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to examine the effectiveness of a nurse-led advance care planning (ACP) intervention on improving ACP discussion uptake in residential care homes (RCHs). The main question it aims to answer is: The effectiveness of nurse-led advance care planning (ACP) interventions implemented on …
Comparative Functional Vision Outcomes: DAILIES TOTAL1 Toric vs. Spherical Lenses in Asian Astigmatic Patients
The goal of this comparative clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of DAILIES TOTAL1 Toric Contact Lenses compared to Spherical Equivalent Contact Lenses in improving the functional vision of astigmatic patients, with a particular focus on Asian individuals who frequently use digital devices. The main questions it aims to …
Surveillance of the Genetic Signature in Circulating Tumor DNA for Guiding Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Urothelial Carcinoma: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Urothelial carcinomas are one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. Postoperative patients carry a poor prognosis with an estimated five-year disease-specific survival rate of 50%. To improve overall survival and reduce the recurrent risk, chemotherapy is recommended as a standard of care. However, currently in Hong Kong, neoadjuvant (preoperational) …
A Single-blind RCT to Investigate the Effect of a Novel Herbal Patch for the Treatment of PF
Disorders and injuries of tendons and ligaments are some of the most diagnosed musculoskeletal (MS) disorders clinically. Nearly half of the 33 million MS disorders reported in the United States each year are tendon and ligament injuries. Although most of such injuries are non-fatal, they are severely debilitating, resulting in …
