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.
SLC-391 is a novel, potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL with desirable potency and pharmaceutical properties. It has demonstrated antiproliferative activity against different tumour cell lines in vitro and efficacy in different animal models including nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and (acute myeloid leukemia (AML) models. It has also exhibited strong synergy with other approved targeted therapies in different animal models. This is the first clinical study with SLC-391. The goals of this study are to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic profile of SLC-391, and then to identify a safe and pharmacologically active dose for evaluation in subsequent cohorts or clinical studies. In addition, change from baseline of possible blood biomarkers (soluble AXL and Gas 6) may be evaluated. This is an open-label, multicentre, phase 1, dose-escalation, first in human study to evaluate the safety of SLC-391 administered orally (once or twice daily) in 21-day cycles to subjects with advanced solid tumours.
The purpose of this study is to compare the changes in blood lipids and feelings of satiety after consumption of acid stable or acid unstable oil-in-water emulsions in which the droplets are in either the liquid or partially solid (i.e. crystalline) states.
JTX-2011-201 is a Phase 2, open label clinical study of vopratelimab (JTX-2011) and ipilimumab in adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or urothelial cancer to evaluate safety and efficacy.
This study compares the effect of two doses of semaglutide (1.0 mg and 2.0 mg) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). People taking part in the study will take the medicine together with their current diabetes medicine (sulphonylurea and/or metformin). Participants will get a dose of either 1.0 mg or 2.0 mg semaglutide once a week - which dose is decided by chance. Participants will inject semaglutide under the skin once a week. The study will last for about 49 weeks. Participants will have 9 clinic visits and 2 phone calls with the study doctor. At the visits participants will have blood taken and eye tests done. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Female participants who can get pregnant will be checked 11 times for pregnancy via urine tests.
Effective combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has resulted in a dramatic reduction in AIDS mortality. Over the last decade, the proportion of deaths caused by liver-related etiologies, including co-infection with hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B (HBV) viruses, alcohol abuse, and fatty liver, has increased between 8 to 10 fold in the post-cART era while AIDS-related mortality has fallen more than 90-fold. HIV infection without viral hepatitis is also at risk for liver disease. Indeed, HIV mono-infected persons experience common conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemia, which are risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is the most common liver disease in Canada. It is a fatty infiltration of the liver that is not evolutive per se, but it is the first histopathological step for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a progressive disease characterized by much inflammation leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. NASH may be frequent in the setting of HIV mono-infection due to excess of metabolic risk factors, long-term cART, HIV itself and lipodystrophy. An early diagnosis of NASH is essential to establish a prognosis and initiate interventions to reduce progression of liver disease towards cirrhosis. Early diagnosis of NASH is critical for targeting metabolic and hepatologic interventions, which can impact on progression to cirrhosis and end-stage complications. Non-invasive tools for liver fibrosis and NASH, including Fibroscan/CAP and CK-18, are accurate and ideal for screening and serial monitoring. No study has specifically targeted the non-invasive diagnosis of NASH in HIV mono-infected patients. There has been no study about the use of CK-18 as a biomarker for NASH in the setting of HIV mono-infection. Furthermore, CAP has never been applied to this specific population. Finally, there is no data about the potential beneficial therapeutic effect of vitamin E on NASH associated to HIV infection. The investigators hypothesize that CK-18 and Fibroscan/CAP can be used as non-invasive tests to diagnose NASH in HIV mono-infected persons. Likewise, the investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant prevalence of NASH diagnosed by non-invasive tools among patients with HIV mono-infection. The investigators further hypothesize that a 6 months treatment trial with vitamin E supplementation will improve non-invasive diagnostic tests, and/or the metabolic and hepatic profile in HIV mono-infected patients with a non-invasive diagnosis of NASH.
The effect of sacubitril/valsartan vs. valsartan on changes in NT-proBNP, safety, and tolerability in HFpEF patients with a WHF event (HFpEF decompensation) who have been stabilized and initiated at the time of or within 30 days post-decompensation.
Clinical study to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two baking soda containing dentifrices, containing 20% and 35% baking soda, to a non-baking soda dentifrice for their ability to reduce gingivitis and plaque following 6-months of use.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2a Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of RIST4721 in Subjects with Palmoplantar Pustulosis
The reason for this study is to compare the effect of the study drug tirzepatide to semaglutide on blood sugar levels in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study will last approximately 47 weeks and may include about 12 visits.
The prevention of atrial fibrillation related thromboembolism in the dialysis population is unclear. While the practice of anticoagulation appears favorable in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease, no patients with severe chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <25 ml/min), and specifically those receiving dialysis, have been included in randomized trials.Moreover, the effect of anticoagulation in the dialysis population may fundamentally differ from those studied in clinical trials. Accordingly, characterization of the optimal management strategy to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving dialysis is a priority. The overall goal of this pilot trial is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing anticoagulation strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving dialysis (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).
