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.
RESTORE is an observational, open-label, multi-center, prospective, study enrolling Raptiva® (efalizumab) treated patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. The overall duration of the study is approximately 4 years. Patients will be followed from the time of study enrolment to study/treatment termination; thus active follow-up period will vary across subjects. Raptiva® (efalizumab)treated patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria specified will be eligible for participation in this study. Objectives: - To document and quantify the incidences of adverse events in this patient population - To explore the association of psoriasis treatments with changes in patient outcomes, quality of life, and treatment compliance.
It is hypothesized that, compared to a control group, manual wheelchair users and their caregivers in the long-term-care setting who receive the wheelchair skills training program will improve their wheelchair skills to a statistically significant extent and will retain these improvements for at least one month.
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that silicone suction suspension without additional belt support does not significantly diminish the postural sway or walking performance of persons with transfemoral amputation.
This study is being done to look at how well people respond to two very different drug treatments for depression. Clinically, people with depression can respond differently to drug treatments for reasons which are not always clear. Some of our own recent research suggests that people with depression who have a family history of bipolar disorder or completed suicide, may react differently to standard antidepressant medications than those without such a family history. Our data shows that family history of completed suicide, as well as the known predictor of family history of bipolar disorder, may help identify a pre-bipolar high risk group i.e. they currently have depression but at some future date will declare a bipolar illness (manic-depression) by virtue of development of a manic episode also. Our research suggests that treatment- emergent symptoms in response to a trial of antidepressant, such as agitation may be strong predictors of future bipolarity and inherently dangerous particularly as they are not ascribed to the antidepressant treatment. Finally, it is possible that this subgroup of those with depressive illness may respond better and more safely to lithium, a mood stabiliser used in known bipolar depression. The objective of this proposal is to investigate response to acute lithium treatment in subjects who meet the diagnostic criteria for major depression, but who are potentially at risk for bipolar disorder, by virtue of family history of bipolarity or completed suicide.
Objectives: Primary:To assess the efficacy and safety of PLA-695 in subjects with active osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Secondary:To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PLA-695 among dose levels. To assess health outcome measures. To assess the effect of PLA-695 on biomarkers related to clinical responses. To assess PLA-695 exposure-response relationship on PD, efficacy, and safety measures. To assess pharmacogenomics (PGX) analysis in OA.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate changes in weight short and long term with bifeprunox and quetiapine. Study participation for the subject is 57 weeks.
The investigators propose to study the patterns of metabolite changes in subjects with asthma to determine if there is a predictable pattern prior to, and post, clinical exacerbation. Hypothesis: 1. Metabolite profiles will change prior to detection of a clinical exacerbation in subjects with asthma. 2. There will be a measurable temporal delay before metabolite profiles return to baseline following anti-inflammatory therapy of an exacerbation of asthma.
The purpose of this study is to look at two different treatments during a cardiac arrest that occurs outside of the hospital and whether either or both treatments will increase the number of people who live to hospital discharge. A cardiac arrest is when the heart stops pumping blood to the body.
The purpose of this study is to determine if CP-945,598 is effective in the treatment of obesity in type 2 diabetic patients.
This is a randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study in patients with previously treated CD23+ and CD20+ relapsed CLL. Patients will receive treatment with either lumiliximab in combination with FCR or FCR alone.
