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 determine if the addition of motexafin gadolinium (study drug) to standard treatment with docetaxel will improve the response rate in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
To compare efficacy and safety of Sunitinib and Capecitabine in subjects with advanced breast cancer who failed both a taxane and an anthracycline chemotherapy regimen or failed with a taxane and for whom further anthracycline therapy is not indicated
To test the efficacy of CP-751,871 combined with exemestane in the treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone positive advanced breast cancer
The main purpose of this trial is to allow continued access to pregabalin to Canadian subjects who participated in global pregabalin epilepsy studies 1008-010; 1008-035; 1008-114 and 1008-164 and to continue to study the long term safety of pregabalin administered as adjunctive therapy at dosages from 150 mg/day to 600 mg/day in Canadian subjects with refractory partial seizures.
The literature shows that approximately 40% of individuals who receive a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device for symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) do not have a clinical benefit from the device. The HEAL-HF protocol will compare the outcomes of conventionally placed CRT devices with magnetically placed CRT devices by assessing hemodynamic parameters during the magnetic placement of the left ventricular (LV) lead.
This is a Phase I-II study designed to investigate nimotuzumab (TheraCIM h-R3) in combination with external radiation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of the Phase I portion of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the administration of nimotuzumab with palliative radiation in patients who are unsuitable for radical therapy and to select the optimal dose for the Phase II component of the study. The primary objective for the Phase II portion of the study is to examine the efficacy of this combination treatment. The Phase I component of this study has been completed. The Phase II is now closed to recruitment.
The objective of the study is to determine if the addition of peritoneal ultrafiltration to standard therapy in treatment-resistant severe heart failure patients will improve fluid balance and functional capacity such that they will spend less time in the hospital and have an improved ambulatory quality of life in comparison to patients who remain on standard therapy alone.
Primary: To evaluate the efficacy of satavaptan in the absence of concomitant diuretic drugs in reducing the recurrence of ascites. Secondary: To evaluate the tolerability and safety of satavaptan in the absence of concomitant diuretic drugs over a 52-week treatment period in patients with cirrhosis of the liver and recurrent ascites. The one-year double blind placebo controlled period is extended up to 2 years in a long term safety study (PASCCAL-2).
The purpose of this study is to test in patients who have had hip replacement surgery the effectiveness (level of pain control) and the safety of 3 different dose levels of CG5503 compared with placebo and with 10-mg oxycodone during the 72-hour double-blind period and to assess the safety of the drug for 9 days after patients completed the double blind period.
RATIONALE: Growth factors, such as palifermin, may lessen the severity of mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. It is not yet known whether palifermin is more effective than a placebo in lessening mucositis in patients receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying palifermin to see how well it works compared to a placebo in lessening oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy and chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer.
