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.
Internalized stigma, (i.e. the application of negative stereotypes about a diagnostic group to one's self) is a strong predictor of recovery and quality of life for individuals with psychosis. Be Outspoken and Overcome Stigmatizing Thoughts (BOOST) is an evidence-based intervention aimed at improving internalized stigma, self-esteem, and quality of life for those with psychosis. The proposed research expands BOOST's program by adding additional therapeutic methods and material, and adopting the use of virtual care methods to: (a) increase the generalization of treatment effects, (b) examine long-term treatment effects, and (C) provide rural Ontario communities with remote treatment access.
The main aim of the study is to assess the clinical outcomes of current CMV management across different regions of the world (Europe [EU] and Canada [CAN]). Data will be collected retrospectively from medical charts. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study.
This study will determine the safe initial injected activity of the radioligand therapy 177Lu-HTK03170 for the measurement of dosimetry and initiation of treatment in subjects with PSMA-positive, metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer, (mCRPC). Subjects will receive treatment which will be escalated between cycles and personalized based on dosimetry calculations and imaging. In addition, antitumour activity will be measured by radiographic response, and further assessments of the treatment will be measured by CT imaging, ctDNA/ctRNA, PSA, PSMA PET/CT, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 2 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment.
Pediatric patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or Inflammatory Bowel Disease who are preparing to transition into adult care face many unique challenges, and, to date, there is no comprehensive and implementable model of transition care in Canada or the United States. These patients, in addition to the systemic inflammatory nature of their diseases, are also in a period of immense psycho-social stress due to changes in school structure, employment, and general psycho-social growth. A poorly managed transition can have adverse effects on the quality and experience of care as well as contribute to poor disease outcomes including increased morbidity and even mortality. The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of using a transition coach intervention to help patients in their transition from pediatric to adult care.
This study is a multicenter prospective, parallel design, two-arm, rater-blinded randomized controlled pilot trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions. In the first condition, treatment consists of rTMS sessions combined with Text4Support. The second condition is made up of the treatment as usual (rTMS sessions alone). The recruitment process is scheduled to last 12 months. It will involve active treatment for six weeks and follow-up period observation periods of 1,3, and 6 months for participants in both arms of the study. Participants will be recruited from four different centers for this project. Two centers (the Addiction and Mental Health clinic and the Alberta day hospital) will be from the large, sociodemographic diverse city of Edmonton in Alberta Western Canada. The remaining two centers will be in Halifax and Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, Canada.
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the effects on albuminuria of combination treatment with the endothelin receptor antagonist zibotentan and SGLT2i dapagliflozin are complimentary and additive while the fluid retaining effects of zibotentan can be mitigated by dapagliflozin.
While there are many medical options for managing endometriosis and fibroids, GnRH-agonist (GnRH-a) therapy remains a very common method of treating these complex conditions. Although this therapy is effective, it does come with significant menopausal side effects, such as hot flashes, sweating, mood changes, sleep disturbance, altered sex drive, decreased bone density, and vaginal and urinary symptoms. In short, chemically-induced menopause (menopause triggered by GnRH-a injection) causes the same symptoms of natural menopause, but with a sudden onset in a generally young and active population. Low dose hormone add-back therapy is commonly used to lessen these side effects of GnRH-a use. There are many menopausal hormone therapies (MHTs) used in menopausal women that can help, but few studies have directly evaluated the different options of treatment for women undergoing chemically-induced menopause. Tibolone is a menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) that stands out as a good option in the management of medical menopause in endometriosis patients because it may give fewer side effects than other alternatives and have a positive effect on mood and libido. This study aims to see how effective Tibolone is as an add-back therapy in women who are hormonally suppressed with a GnRH-a. For this study, we will recruit pre-menopausal women over the age of 18 years old undergoing therapy with the GnRH-a Lupron.
This study is focused on males who have Hemophilia B and who need regular preventive treatment with factor IX protein (FIX) replacement therapy to prevent and also to control their bleeding events. The aim of the study is to gather at least 6 months of information on bleeding events for each individual participant while they continue to use their usual FIX replacement therapy. There is no experimental treatment being tested in this study. The study is informational, and part of a larger program to understand and treat Hemophilia B with a potential experimental new therapy in the future. There is no obligation to agree to taking part in this future study. The study is looking to answer several other research questions to help understand each participant's individual disease characteristics, including: - How often to use FIX replacement therapy, both on a regular basis (prophylaxis) and as needed to treat bleeding events - Measurement of FIX activity (factor IX is a clotting factor) by different laboratories using different types of tests in Hemophilia B participants - Possible complications from the FIX replacement therapy the patient receives (usual standard of care will continue to be used) - How quality of life is affected by Hemophilia B - How joint health is affected by Hemophilia B - How often the participant visits the emergency room, urgent care center, physician's office, hospital, or has a telemedicine visit as a result of bleeding events - Whether the body makes antibodies (a protein produced by the body's immune system) against the FIX replacement therapy you receive, which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etavopivat (FT-4202) for the treatment of anemia in adult patients with very low risk, low risk, or intermediate risk MDS.
This randomized Phase 3 open-label study will compare the efficacy of the T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domain (TIGIT) monoclonal antibody domvanalimab, the anti programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody zimberelimab, and multiagent chemotherapy versus the anti PD-1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab and multiagent chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
