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 purpose of this study is to test safety and efficacy of this combination treatment (IMGN901, carboplatin and etoposide) in patients with solid tumors and extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
The investigators hypothesize that inflammation in carotid plaque is predictive of the extent of ischemic lesion burden on the brain and will add to risk stratification for individuals with carotid disease.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the use of a multiple electrolyte solution to the use of saline for the treatment of moderate to severe dehydration due to acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin plus rituximab in relapsed/refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who are not candidates for intensive high-dose chemotherapy. Specifically, the goal is to demonstrate the superiority of this combination compared with an active comparator arm (investigator's choice of rituximab+bendamustine or rituximab+gemcitabine) using the primary endpoint of overall survival.
AMG 479 is an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that targets type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). Signaling through IGF-1R plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and survival. Gemcitabine is administered on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle, AMG 479 or placebo is administered on days 1 and 15 of the 28 day cycle, both are administered intravenously. The primary purpose of the study is to determine if AMG 479 and gemcitabine improves overall survival as compared to placebo and gemcitabine.
The objective is to determine whether 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake in patients with ACS (MI) can serve as a marker for scar formation as detected by contrast-enhanced MRI during the process of myocardial remodelling after the ischemic insult. Comparison of ACS and HCM Populations: The primary objective is to determine whether TcNC100692 imaging is able to quantify the extent to which myocardial fibrogenesis occurring early post myocardial infarction differs from that in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The primary hypothesis is that since fibrogenesis is known to occur most intensely in the first days to weeks post myocardial infarction, while it is a more protracted, less predictable process in HCM, there will be significantly more TcNC100692 uptake in the early post-ACS population than in the HCM population. Control Population: Normal control images will allow for differentiation of uptake in the myocardium.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of golimumab (CNTO 148) in patients who have active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and at least 5 joints with active arthritis that have poor response to methotrexate.
The primary hypothesis for this study is that, in nicotine-dependent tobacco smokers, baclofen will be superior to placebo for smoking abstinence measures. The secondary hypothesis is that subjects assigned to the baclofen groups will exhibit higher rates of medication compliance (i.e. take the medication as directed for the trial period) than those in the placebo group. The tertiary hypothesis is that baclofen will lead to significant reductions in tobacco withdrawal and craving ratings as compared to placebo.
Recurrent CDI is a growing problem with few treatment options that provide lasting effect. Fecal transplantation has been shown in several case series to be successful in controlling recurrent CDI. The current study is a non-blinded, randomized controlled trial comparing fecal transplantation with a 6 week taper of oral vancomycin for the treatment of refractory CDI. Approximately 146 patients will be enrolled over one year. Participants in the study will be followed for 120 days, and will be given the opportunity to cross over to the alternative intervention arm if a relapse in symptoms occurs. The primary outcome measure will be recurrence of toxin-confirmed CDI within 120 days of starting the intervention. Secondary outcomes include: early recurrence of symptoms within 14 days, relapse within 120 days (same strain of C. difficile), attributable mortality, hospitalization and serious adverse events.
The objective of this active-drug Extension Study is to evaluate the continuing safety and efficacy of ONO-4641 (MSC2430913A) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in patients who have completed an initial 26-week study (ONO-4641POU006).
