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.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of brodalumab, compared to placebo, in subjects with psoriatic arthritis. The key secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of brodalumab compared to placebo at week 16 and week 24. The safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of brodalumab in subjects with psoriatic arthritis.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is the first-line therapy for patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites. However, mental changes known as hepatic encephalopathy (HE) frequently occur after TIPS. There is no effective method to predict HE after TIPS. Oral glutamine challenge (OGC) and psychometric tests have been used to assess the risk for HE, but never in patients undergoing TIPS. Severe muscle loss may also predispose patients to HE. The aim of the present study is to assess if both the OGC and psychometric tests can accurately predict the development of overt HE after TIPS. Patients will be studied before TIPS and followed after TIPS for the development of HE. The role of muscle loss in favoring HE, as well as is possible reversibility after TIPS will also be investigated.
This is a multi-centre Phase 2 study. The study will evaluate the activity and safety of AMG 337 in patients who have MET amplified gastric, gastroesophageal junction or esophageal adenocarcinoma or other MET amplified solid tumors. The study is designed to estimate the objective response rate of AMG 337 by tumor type.
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of blinatumomab on overall survival when compared to standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy.
The hypothesis being tested is that inhibition of the enzyme known as elastase in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis will help decrease the number of bacteria. Alpha1 antitrypsin, an elastase inhibitor, will be given to patients with cystic fibrosis by aerosol therapy twice in 1 day and sputum will be collected to measure the density of bacteria
An emerging cause of heart attack in young women is a dissection (or tear) in the coronary arteries. Many of these young women continue to have chest pain long after the tear has healed and this is thought to be due to problems with their small blood vessels of the heart (or microcirculation). We want to determine whether commonly used medications for coronary artery disease including statins (for cholesterol) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (for blood pressure) reduce chest pain and improve small vessel function in these patients.
To determine the safety and effectiveness of pamidronate in patients with radiographically proven avascular necrosis which are the result of unstable (acute) slipped capital femoral epiphysis, traumatic proximal femur fractures, traumatic hip dislocations, or idiopathic in nature.
The purpose of this Clinical investigation is to assess the impact of the Multi Point Pacing (MPP) feature at 12 months in the treatment of patients not responding to standard Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) after 6 months.
Primary Objective: To determine if impairments in cardiac and musculoskeletal function and metabolism exist in Fontan children. Secondary Objectives: 1. To determine if impairments do exist, are they related to exercise capacity. 2. To determine if a 12-week exercise training intervention improves cardiac and/or musculoskeletal metabolism. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that abnormalities in cardiac and skeletal function are evident, influence exercise capacity, and can be improved with exercise training.
This is a 26-week, randomized extension of the Phase 3 double-blind placebo-controlled studies, EVP-6124-024 and EVP-6124-025. In this extension study, subjects who complete study EVP-6124-024 or EVP-6124-025 and fulfill all entry criteria will be randomized to receive EVP-6124 for an additional 26 weeks.
