This study will test a new medication strategy designed to help smokers quit. It will combine selegiline, a drug currently approved and available for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, with a nicotine skin patch. Forty nicotine-dependent smokers will enrolled in this study. Twenty will receive placebo (inactive pill) plus nicotine patch, and twenty will receive selegiline plus nicotine patch. Once enrolled in the study, subjects will visit the Nicotine Dependence Clinic at CAMH on a weekly basis for assessment of smoking behavior, a brief health check, collection of breath and urine samples (necessary to drug levels and nicotine levels), and receive brief individual counseling designed to help them stop smoking. The medication phase of this study lasts 9 weeks. A follow-up visit will be conducted six months after trial completion. At that point, health and behavioral measures will be re-assessed.
This randomized, double-blind, parallel group, two-centre pilot study will test the hypothesis that subjects who are otherwise healthy but fulfill the criteria for a diagnosis of pre-hypertension and pre-diabetes will have regression or reduced progression of hypertension-associated changes in their resistance arteries if their blood pressure is controlled for 6 months with losartan, whereas similar subjects whose blood pressure is equally well controlled using hydrochlorothiazide will have significantly less improvement of the changes in their resistance arteries.
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a single dose of rhBMP-2/CPM administered at the fracture site via percutaneous injection, in combination with standard of care, accelerates fracture union and return to normal function in subjects who have a closed diaphyseal tibial fracture when compared to standard of care alone.
Tree MATAMPL has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with hypersensitivity to Tree (birch, alder, hazel) pollen (hay fever). This novel formulation is designed to provide a vaccine that will be efficacious with only four escalating dose injections administered before the start of the pollen season. In this Study the Efficacy will be assessed by exposing allergic subjects to birch pollen in an environmental exposure chamber EEC. Patient symptomatic response to birch pollen and patient quality of life in the EEC will be determined.
