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 Xen-45 gelatin microstent is a novel, bleb-forming microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Despite demonstrating similar efficacy and safety to trabeculectomy (traditional surgery), the Xen-45 gelatin microstent continues to suffer from occasional surgical failure due to fibrosis of the filtering bleb, and obstruction of the stent. During surgery, placement in a surgery known as supra-tenon's space is believed to maximize aqueous outflow, while preventing obstruction, limiting fibrosis of the bleb, and promoting long-term patency. Despite the theoretical merits, long-term data of outcomes after targeted supra-tenon's placement is needed to fully assess its potential in improving Xen-45 microstent outcomes.
An Open Label Study to Evaluate Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of a Once Nightly Formulation of Sodium Oxybate for Extended-Release Oral Suspension (FT218) and the ability to switch from twice-nightly immediate release sodium oxybate to once-nightly FT218 for the Treatment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Cataplexy in Subjects with Narcolepsy
This is a research study to see how safe and effective decidual stromal cells are in treating patients with respiratory failure (breathing problem where not enough oxygen is passed from the lungs into the blood) caused by COVID-19.
A closed-loop insulin system, also referred to as the "artificial pancreas" (AP), is made up of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, and an application communicating between the two to adjust insulin administration based on glucose control. This is meant for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The McGill Artificial Pancreas (MAP) has been used previously in type 1 diabetes with significant benefits. Though prior studies have shown significant benefit with this system, some challenges still exist. Empagliflozin is used in type 2 diabetes; it allows for glucose to be removed through the urine. Though its use is not approved in type 1 diabetes in North America, it (along with similar drugs) has been used in studies as adjunctive therapy with insulin with benefits on blood sugar control. The purpose of our study is to see if a small dose of empagliflozin (2.5 mg and 5 mg) is enough to help those who cannot achieve adequate glucose control on a closed-loop insulin system. The primary hypotheses of the study are the following: 1. The use of empagliflozin 2.5 mg daily will increase time in range compared to placebo for those on the closed-loop system. 2. The use of empagliflozin 5 mg daily will increase time in range compared to placebo for those on the closed-loop system.
The study will be a randomized, partially-blinded, prime-boost, staggered dose-escalation Phase 1 study intended to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Coronavirus-Like Particle COVID-19 Vaccine at three dose levels (3.75 µg, 7.5 µg, and 15 µg VLP) unadjuvanted or adjuvanted with either CpG 1018 or AS03 in healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age, who have been tested for the absence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. At each dose level, the vaccine will initially be administered to a small number of subjects. Vaccinations of the first 6 subjects at the lowest dose level will be staggered so that each vaccination must be performed at least 30 minutes apart. Vaccination of the remaining subjects at the same dose level and the next higher vaccine dose level will be administered with approval of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). The same process will be followed for the second vaccine administration. All subjects will be followed for a period of 12 months after the second administration of the vaccine for safety and immunogenicity testing at the end of the follow-up period.
The most visible signs of aging are on the skin. As skin gets older it shows a decrease in epidermal thickness, with a flattening of the dermal-epidermal junction. At the same time, loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation begin. The objective of this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of Vinh Wellness Collagen on skin elasticity, wrinkles, and hydration over 12 weeks.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a significant worldwide medical problem. GSK3228836 demonstrated target engagement in CHB participants who were not on treatment and in CHB participants on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy. This study is intended to evaluate if treatment with GSK3228836 can achieve sustained virologic response (SVR), that is hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) less than (<) lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) <LLOQ sustained for 24 weeks post-GSK3228836 treatment end. In addition, the study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of GSK3228836 in the 4 dosing regimens. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with GSK3228836 in two populations of participants with CHB; participants on stable nucleos(t)ide treatment (Cohort 1) and participants who are not currently on nucleos(t)ide therapy (Cohort 2). For each population, participants will be randomized into one of the 4 different parallel arms to receive treatment. The study will consist of a screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately, 440 participants will be enrolled in the study.
Primary Objective: - Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with transepidermal water loss (TEWL) assessed after skin tape stripping (STS) in pre-defined lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with dupilumab. Secondary Objectives: - Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with TEWL assessed after STS in pre-defined lesional and non-lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in reference to normal skin of healthy volunteers. - Evaluate time course of skin barrier function with TEWL assessed before and after STS in pre-defined lesional and non-lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in reference to normal skin of healthy volunteers.
In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well. This results in high blood sugar levels. People with T2D are at a higher risk of having a condition called chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys become damaged and do not work as they should. People with CKD can have trouble breathing and often have swelling in their arms and legs, and high blood pressure. People who have CKD and T2D are more likely to have other medical problems, such as heart disease. There are many treatments available to patients who have CKD and T2D. But, researchers need more information about how doctors in Canada are deciding which treatment to give these patients. In this study, the researchers will review health information from men and women with T2D who visited a doctor in 2019 and had check-ups for at least 6 months. The health information will be taken from a Canadian registry (or database) owned by LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology. The registry contains information from people that went to an LMC clinic. In this study, the researchers will learn how many of these people had T2D and CKD. They will learn the treatments these people received, and if they had other related medical problems. The researchers will also use surveys to ask the doctors about why they chose certain treatments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of repeated subcutaneous (SC) administration of lanadelumab in adolescents and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor who completed study SHP643-303 (NCT04206605).
