HAREC stands for the Hospital Authority Research Ethics Committee.

The HAREC Clinical Trial Registry (HAREC-CTR) was set up in 2005 to maintain trials approved by various Cluster Research Ethics Committees (REC) in the Hospital Authority or the relevant institutional review boards or committees. The trial information contained in the registry database complies with international standard on trial registration being developed by the WHO International Committee on Trial Registration Platform (ICTRP) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

Due to change in policy of ICMJE on trial registration in June 2007 that ICMJE would accept registration of clinical trials in five recognized registries, we therefore submitted all registered trials in HAREC-CTR to ClinicalTrials.gov and suspended registration of new clinical trials.

The browse list in this website includes clinical trials that were accepted by HAREC-CTR up to mid-2007.
