There are about 28871 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Canada. 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.
Aim: The purpose was to investigate whether modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes can be reduced by an intensive healthy lifestyle intervention designed for Arab Muslim women. Methods: Women were assigned randomly to either an Exercise and Nutrition Group (ENG) or a Control Group (CG). The ENG attended a women-only supervised exercise program that presented Arabic music and traditional Lebanese Dabka steps three times/week in the Mosque Gym for 12 weeks. A nutritionist was available one hour/week for nutrition education. The CG followed their typical day.
This study compares three doses of once daily semaglutide tablets in people with type 2 diabetes who were previously treated with other oral anti-diabetic medicines. Participants will be initiated on the lowest starting dose of 3 mg and gradually increased until they reach the final trial dose of 14 mg, 25 mg or 50 mg once daily semaglutide tablets. The final three doses will be randomized (i.e., decided by chance). Participants will be administered one tablet per day for 68 weeks. Women cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Women who can get pregnant will be checked for pregnancy via urine tests. Once daily semaglutide tablets (3 mg, 7 mg and 14 mg) are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the US, in the EU and in some other countries, under the brand name Rybelsus®.
The purpose of this study is to assess immunogenicity and safety of MenABCWY vaccine in healthy adolescents and adults aged 15 to 25 years previously vaccinated with MenACWY vaccine
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-06882961) for the potential treatment of obesity. The study will compare the experiences of participants taking the study medicine (PF-06882961) to those of participants who take placebo (a look- alike substance that contains no active study medicine). The aim is to measure the body's response to the study medicine, including any changes in participants' body weight, waist and hip measurements, how well they tolerate the study medicine, and to measure levels of the study medicine in participants' blood. This study is seeking participants who have obesity, who do not have diabetes and who have had a stable body weight and not participated in a formal weight loss program in the 90 days before the study. The study medicine or placebo will be taken as tablets by mouth 2 times a day (1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening). There are 3 groups of participants (called cohorts) in this study. For participants in Cohorts 1 and 2, total study participation will be about 9 months, with 15 planned study visits (14 visits to the study clinic and 1 telephone call). For participants in Cohort 3, total study participation will be about 10 months, with 21 planned study visits (12 visits to the study clinic and 9 telephone calls).
A single patient study using intravitreal Sirolimus to treat a patient with multiple retinal astrocytic hamartomas (RAH) of both eyes.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of twice-daily (BID) oral difelikefalin (CR845) in adult subjects with notalgia paresthetica and moderate to severe pruritus.
AlphaWave® L-theanine will be compared against placebo to evaluate how the investigational study product effects on salivary cortisol, EEG readings, blood pressure, and heart rate in a moderately stressed and otherwise healthy adult population. It is hypothesized that participants taking the AlphaWave® L-theanine will have reduced stress levels as assessed by the parameters stated. Participants will be consuming the investigational study product or placebo in the clinic only.
Endometrial cancer(EC) is the 4th most common cancer in women globally. Clinicians struggle to determine 'the best' treatment for endometrial cancers as they are very hard to tell apart under the microscope. Our BC team developed and validated a low-cost practical tool that can reliably distinguish ECs by molecular features. Molecular classification can inform women about the likelihood of their disease coming back as well as which treatments might work best for them or are not needed. Investigators are studying how this classifier can identify women at very low risk of disease recurrence in order to spare them toxic therapies.
This study aims to find a new way to get individuals living with COPD to become and stay active during and after an exercise intervention. In this study, individuals living with COPD will participate in an online exercise intervention. The exercises included in this intervention are based in individuals' activities of daily living. Additionally, during this intervention, individuals with COPD will participate in peer support sessions and will be taught and encouraged to discuss eight behaviour change techniques that have been shown to help support increased participation in physical activity and/or exercise. The goal of this study is to test out this new protocol and determine if it is feasible to recreate on a larger scale and if it is acceptable for the COPD community.
VIDO has developed a vaccine called COVAC-2. The study vaccine contains a portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, called S1. The spike protein is the part of the virus that is responsible for attaching to the surface of host cells. COVAC-2 contains a SWE adjuvant. An adjuvant is a compound that is added to a vaccine to help the vaccine produce a better immune response. The SWE adjuvant belongs to a family of oil-based adjuvants that have been given to millions of people around the world as part of influenza vaccines. The COVAC-2 vaccine is expected to stimulate the body to make antibodies against the S1 protein. The antibodies will recognize the viral spike protein if the body is exposed to the virus and prevent or reduce the severity of COVID-19 illness. In animal studies, the immune response generated by the COVAC-2 vaccine was able to protect the vaccinated animals against a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Phase 1 is a multi-centred trial of the COVAC-2 vaccine to be completed in Canada. It will be a randomized, observer-blinded, and placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of three dosing levels (25, 50, and 100 µg protein) administered twice (4 weeks apart) in healthy adults 18 through 54 years of age (Phase 1a) and 55 years of age and older (Phase 1b). Enrolment and vaccination of participants will be staggered over time based on participant age and vaccine dose. Approval will be sought from the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to proceed with the second dose in each group, to enroll at each dose level, and to enroll in the older age group for each dose level. Within the same age group, the 8 participants receiving the lowest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; the 8 participants receiving the medium dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; and the 8 participants receiving the highest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo. Within each dose level of 12 participants, it is proposed to immunize a first cohort of 3 participants (including at least 2 active vaccine participants) and pending no holding rule is met after 48 hours, to immunize the remaining 9 participants within that dose level.
