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.
This study treats patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma whose disease is in complete remission due to previous treatment with Cyclophosphamide Doxorubicin hydrochloride Vincristine Prednisolone- Rituximab (CHOP-R). Half of the patients received Zevalin and the other half receive no further anti-cancer treatment. The two patient groups compared to determine if Zevalin given after CHOP-R therapy provides greater benefits than receiving no additional anti-cancer therapy after CHOP-R.
This is a multinational, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study comparing the safety and efficacy of daily dosing of 800 mg twice daily MPC-7869 to placebo. Study subjects will have the diagnosis of mild dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Subjects may be taking approved medication for Alzheimer's disease provided the dose has been stable for at least 6 months.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of T2000 when used to treat patients with moderate to severe essential tremor over a 20 week period. Essential tremor (ET) is a common form of involuntary shaking not related to Parkinson's disease. The medications that are currently used to treat ET work in a small proportion of patients and provide only partial improvement in symptoms. Use of these current medications is also limited by side-effects in many patients. T2000 is a medication currently under development for the treatment of essential tremor. Although T2000 is a new medication, it belongs to a class of medications that has been used for many years for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions. In previous studies, T2000 appeared to be effective in controlling symptoms of ET and some patients with severe ET had major improvements in tremor. T2000 was well tolerated for periods up to 20 days and the minimal side-effects seen were those that would be expected for medications in this class. The current study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of T2000 in patients with moderate to severe essential tremor. Patients will receive doses of T2000 beginning at 600 mg a day, followed by 800 mg a day and up to 1000 mg a day. The total duration of treatment will be 20 weeks. Patient's tremor and neurological examination will be monitored throughout the study. The response to T2000 will be determined by comparing the severity of tremor while patients are receiving T2000 compared to the tremor observed without active medication.
A strategy for optimizing erythropoietin therapy in patients with erythropoietin resistance. A multi-centered, open-label, randomized, controlled trial.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the intravesical cocktail and its comparison with intravesical DMSO in a controlled trial for the treatment of painful bladder syndrome including interstitial cystitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if hypertonic saline with and without dextran can improve overall survival in victims of trauma with shock. Injury and lost blood from trauma can cause your body to be in shock (low blood pressure related to blood loss). This decreased blood flow can lead to organ damage. In order to restore the blood pressure and blood flow, the medics give fluids into the patients' veins as soon as possible. This is called "resuscitation." The resuscitation fluid most commonly used is "isotonic" or one that is the same concentration as the blood. The investigators are trying to determine if infusing a "hypertonic" fluid (or one more concentrated than the blood) can increase the blood pressure and restore blood flow more efficiently. The hypertonic fluids the investigators are using are called hypertonic saline with dextran (HSD) and hypertonic saline (no dextran). Hypertonic saline is a salt solution that is slightly more concentrated than your blood. Dextran is a sugar solution.
The purpose of this study is to determine if hypertonic saline with and without dextran can improve neurologic outcomes in victims of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

This is a multinational, randomized (1:1), double-blind, double-dummy, comparative, 2- treatmentgroup study in children (age range: ≥6 months and <72 months [< 6 years of age]) with AOM.Subjects will be randomized to receive either telithromycin (50 mg/mL) oral suspension 25 mg/kgonce daily for 5 days or azithromycin (40 mg/mL) oral suspension (10 mg/kg once on Day 1, followed by 5 mg/kg once daily on Days 2-5, not to exceed 500 mg onDay 1 and 250 mg/day from Days 2 - 5. Matching placebo suspensions for telithromycin and azithromycin will also be dispensed to provide blinding for the different treatment regimens.Assessments and reporting of safety will be carried out at all visits.
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of two blood pressure lowering treatments (high dose quinapril versus low dose quinapril plus amlodipine) on variations in heart rate over 24 hours.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the WST09-mediated vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) in patients with localized prostate cancer recurrent after external radiation therapy or temporary (High Dose Rate, or HDR) brachytherapy.
