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.
A common long-term side effect of anti-rejection (immunosuppressant) medications is skin cancer. This pilot clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of conducting a larger pivotal trial to examine the efficacy and safety of nicotinamide for prevention of keratinocyte carcinoma in solid organ transplant recipients. This pilot trial will transition into the pivotal trial if all feasibility targets are met.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects durvalumab has on bladder cancer, combined with treatment after completion of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before and after radical prostatectomy (RP) with pelvic lymph node dissection (pLND) in participants with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in an improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rate and metastasis-free survival (MFS) as compared to placebo plus ADT.
This is a randomized, active-controlled, open-label study of pembrolizumab (Pembro) given prior to surgery and pembrolizumab in combination with standard of care radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin), as post-surgical therapy in treatment naïve participants with newly diagnosed Stage III/IVA, resectable, locoregionally advanced, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). Efficacy outcomes will be stratified by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) status. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab given before surgery and after surgery in combination with radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin) improves event-free survival compared to radiotherapy (with or without cisplatin) given after surgery alone.
This is an open-label, prospective, observational study with the primary objective to characterize the pharmacokinetics of infliximab in patients with Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian men. While the majority of PCa is slow growing and responds well to first line treatment, a proportion of cases (10%) progress to metastatic form resulting in more than 4 000 deaths annually in Canada and 250 000 worldwide. Currently, first line treatment for PCa includes surgery, radiation and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). A rapid evolution in the understanding of disease biology, combined with approvals of new therapies including immunotherapy, novel chemotherapy, hormonal agents and a bone calcium matrix-targeted radionuclide, along with further drugs in development, have made treatment decisions for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) increasingly complex and challenging. This is a Phase II Study of Cabazitaxel plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The current study is designed to determine if cabazitaxel will improve progression free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). This study will enroll patients with mCRPC, who have been previously treated and progressed under docetaxel or abiraterone regimen. Patients must meet the study eligibility criteria and must be competent to give informed consent.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran (ALN-TTRSC02) in participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis). Participants will receive vutrisiran subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 3 months (q3M) or the reference comparator patisiran intravenous (IV) injection once every 3 weeks (q3w) during the 18 month Treatment Period. This study will use the placebo arm of the APOLLO study (NCT01960348) as an external comparator for the primary and most other efficacy endpoints during the 18 Month Treatment Period. Following the 18 Month Treatment Period, all participants will be randomized to receive vutrisiran SC injection once every 6 months (q6M) or q3M in the Randomized Treatment Extension (RTE) Period.
To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of the Mercury Expander system and procedure to treat patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to urinary outflow obstruction from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Traditionally, periodontal gum surgery has been used as a method to gain access to inflamed periodontal pockets around teeth. The outcome of these surgeries, however, is not always successful as there can be recurrence of inflammation and disease. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to mechanical debridement of residual periodontal pockets in patients having undergone periodontal surgery. Pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and plaque index (PI) will be evaluated at all sites as measures of inflammation and disease resolution.
This Phase 3 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab versus the standard of care sorafenib in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received previous systemic anticancer therapy. A single-agent cabozantinib arm will be enrolled in which subjects receive single agent cabozantinib in order to determine its contribution to the overall safety and efficacy of the combination with atezolizumab.
