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.
In Canada, the number of obese children and adolescents has increased tremendously. Interventions addressing diet and physical activity have been successful in the short-term. However, a great number of individuals have difficulties maintaining achieved weight loss and returning to treatment sessions. New technology interventions, through the web or delivered trough Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) (e.g. iPhone or Blackberry), are increasingly being used in health interventions. PDAs have emerged as appealing in health interventions as they are easily accessible and their interactivity makes them well suited to promote long-term engagement in behaviour change interventions. This study will look at the utility of supplementing a family-based lifestyle program for overweight and obese adolescents (Shapedown BC) with a PDA intervention (Text2bHealthy) focussing mainly on physical activity, sedentary behaviours, and dietary intake to maintain treatment success by improving self-management skills. Adolescents and will receive Text2bHealthy for 3-months after 3 months participation in the Shapedown BC program. Results from this study will provide needed information on how to improve treatment adherence and maintenance outcomes through the use of innovative methods and will ultimately contribute to the improvement of long-term outcomes in obesity treatment.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of entospletinib in participants with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. Participants with the following relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies will be enrolled into the study: relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), or non-FL indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL; including lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma/ Waldenström macroglobulinemia [LPL/WM], small lymphocytic lymphoma [SLL], or marginal zone lymphoma [MZL]).
The CHAT Pilot Trial is designed to compare rosuvastatin against placebo in patients with suspected H1N1. The pilot study will assess the feasibility of our clinical protocols, and study procedures.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining ganetespib (STA-9090) with docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with BIIB019 (Daclizumab High Yield Process; DAC HYP) monotherapy in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who completed Study 205MS301 (NCT01064401), Study 205MS203 (NCT01051349) or Study 205MS302 (NCT01462318). Secondary objectives of this study in this study population are as follows: To describe MS-related outcomes, including MS relapse, disability progression, MS lesion formation, and participant-reported impact of MS, following long-term treatment with DAC HYP To assess the long-term immunogenicity of DAC HYP administered by prefilled syringe (PFS) To assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of switching to DAC HYP in participants previously on long-term treatment with interferon β-1a (Avonex) in Study 205MS301(NCT01064401).
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug known as prasugrel for the reduction of Vaso-Occlusive Crisis events in pediatric participants with sickle cell disease. The study will also investigate reduction in daily pain in children who have sickle cell disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the dry powder formulation of ASM-024 following single and multiple administration by inhalation of ascending doses in healthy subjects and subjects with stable moderate asthma.
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving the study drug Ruxolitinib (INC424) prior to a combination of other chemotherapeutic drugs (Fludarabine and Busulfan) before infusing another person's hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow transplantation) will be successful in people who have advanced primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (PET-MF), collectively known as myelofibrosis (MF). MF is a disorder in which bone marrow tissue develops in abnormal sites because the bone marrow itself undergoes fibrosis or scarring. This study plans to evaluate whether adding the drug Ruxolitinib will further aid in reducing pre-transplant spleen size, improve physical performance levels and reduce adverse events (side effects) related to the transplant. Ruxolitinib is a drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced forms of myelofibrosis. Using Ruxolitinib prior to stem cell transplantation is experimental.
The purpose of the study is to understand whether a new treatment of stroke - endovascular clot removal - can be added to the current standard of care to improve patient outcomes. All patients will receive the best standard stroke treatment. This includes treating patients with the clot dissolving drug tPA (tissue plasminogen activator). However, t-PA does not work in some patients and others are not eligible to receive t-PA because they present too late for treatment (they woke up with their stroke symptoms or their stroke was not witnessed). During endovascular revascularization the blockage in the artery is removed with the use of devices called stentreivers and or by giving clot dissolving drug at the site of the blockage in the artery to restore blood flow. Stentrievers are devices that have been designed by different companies to remove blood clots from arteries. Up to a maximum of 500 people at 20-25 hospitals across Canada and other countries will participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of oral treatment with a statin, SIMVASTATIN 40mg, in a target population of patients with severe chronic rhinosinusitis resistant to surgery followed by conventional medical and surgical treatment.
