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.
This is a study in adults with various types of advanced cancer. The purpose of the study is to test a medicine called BI 754091 in combination with several other cancer medicines. BI 754091 is an immunotherapy. This means it may help the immune system fight cancer. Such therapies are also called immune checkpoint inhibitors. How long the participants are in the study depends on whether they benefit from treatment and whether they experience unacceptable side effects. The participants are put into different groups. Each group receives BI 754091 in combination with another medicine. The doctors check whether the tumors shrink or disappear. The doctors also check the general health of the participants.
The main objective is to determine whether a low-dose regimen of apixaban (2.5 mg bid) is non inferior to a full-dose regimen of apixaban (5 mg bid) for the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with active cancer who have completed at least 6 months of anticoagulant therapy for treating a documented index event of proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (symptomatic or incidental) or pulmonary embolism (symptomatic or incidental).
Study AG348-C-010 is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of treatment with AG-348 in adult participants with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). This study includes a core period (up to 24 weeks) followed by an extension period (up to 10 years) for eligible participants. 20 participants with NTDT were enrolled. The initial dose of AG-348 was 50 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) with one potential dose-level increase to 100 mg BID at the Week 6 visit based on the participant's safety and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations.
A new endovascular route for the treatment of brain AVMs may be possible in some cases: Trans-Venous Embolization (TVE). The technique uses microcatheters to navigate to the draining veins of AVM, to reach and then fill the AVM nidus retrogradely with liquid embolic agents until the lesion is occluded. This technique has the potential to improve on some of the problems with the arterial approach to AVM embolization, such as a low overall occlusion rate. However, by occluding the vein first, and filling the lesion with the embolic agent in a retrograde fashion, the method transgresses a widely held dogma in the surgical or endovascular treatment of AVMs: to preserve the draining vein until all afferent vessels have been occluded. Nevertheless, the initial case series have shown promising results, with high occlusion rates, and few technical complications. The method is increasingly used in an increasing number of centers, but there is currently no research protocol to guide the use of this promising but still experimental treatment in a prudent fashion. Care trials can be designed to offer such an experimental treatment, taking into account the best medical interests of patients, in the presence of rapidly evolving indications and techniques.
The study's aim is to test a tailored telemetric intervention to reduce rejection incidence by improving medication adherence in a group of adolescent liver transplant recipients identified as nonadherent by a marker (the Medication Level Variability Index, MLVI).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of cabozantinib compared with placebo on progression free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) in subjects with Radioiodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) who have progressed after prior vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-Targeted therapy.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and engraftment (cumulative relative abundance) of MET-4 strains when given in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). There will be a safety cohort (group A) of 5 subjects which will receive MET-4 in addition to standard of care (SOC) ICI. After the safety cohort, 40 patients will be enrolled in group B which will be randomized to MET4 with SOC ICI vs. control group with SOC ICI only. Group C will enroll 20 patients who have already started on SOC ICI and have had first unconfirmed progression of disease and expected to continue with standard ICI treatment. These patients will be randomized to continue receiving standard ICI alone, or SOC ICI with MET4.
Therefore, the objective of the study is to characterize the pattern of radiolabeled tracer (18F-FDG) uptake in noninfected transcatheter heart valves in early follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
OrthoPulse is a device that uses near-infrared light therapy in order to decrease orthodontic treatment time. The aim of this study is to evaluate OrthoPulse products modified with extended arrays, OrthoPulse 2.0 and OrthoPulse 2.1, and to assess their clinical effectiveness.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of luspatercept (ACE-536) compared to epoetin alfa on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence (for at least 12 weeks) with a concurrent hemoglobin increase of at least 1.5 g/dL in participants with anemia due to revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who require RBC transfusions and have never been exposed to erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA).
