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.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GR) occurrence or persistence following a sleeve gastrectomy (SG) can be correlated to several factors but it is clear that one of the key factors is a persistent hiatal hernia or laxity of the esophageal hiatus. However, there are no clear guidelines presently available on surgical management of small size hernias or an abnormal hiatus. Therefore, hiatal hernia management is decided intraoperatively by the operating surgeon. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of primary hiatal hernia repairs on gastroesophageal reflux concomitant to sleeve gastrectomy. The secondary objectives are hiatal hernia recurrence following primary surgery and the occurrence of "de novo" GR.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of GSK3359609 to pembrolizumab in combination with 5FU-platinum based chemotherapy improves the efficacy of the pembrolizumab combination with 5FU-platinum based chemotherapy in participants with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This randomized, double-blinded, Phase II/III study will compare the combination of GSK3359609 with pembrolizumab and 5FU-platinum chemotherapy to placebo in combination with pembrolizumab and 5FU-platinum chemotherapy in participants with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx.
The emergence of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) has seen a variety of potential innovative surgical alternatives to help better control intraocular pressure (IOP). The OMNI™ Surgical System (Sight Sciences, Menlo Park, CA, USA) is a promising MIGS procedure. It combines two procedures known as trabeculotomy and viscodilation of Schlemm's canal in one hand held device without the need for additional incisions or extra instrumentation. The device recently received FDA approval in the United States for certain indications in ophthalmic surgery. To date, no study has examined the effect of standalone viscodilation and trabeculotomy on glaucoma drop burden and IOP.
This study is a global, multi-center study designed to estimate the global prevalence of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) within a clinically at risk population [participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)].
The current study will evaluate the feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with an existing intensive physiotherapy program for children with ABI within the in/day-patient brain injury program at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, Canada. This feasibility randomized control trial will allocate 30 participants with ABI (age 5 to 18 years) to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive active tDCS prior to four of their existing physiotherapy sessions each week for a total of 16 sessions while the other group will receive sham/placebo tDCS prior to their physiotherapy sessions. Recovery of gross motor function will be compared between groups after the four weeks of tDCS treatment and again after three months to evaluate the short and longer-term impact of tDCS on an existing intensive physiotherapy program. Feasibility will be evaluated by tracking process, resource, and treatment indicators such as eligibility, enrollment, adherence, and tolerance rates.
Study Objective: To test if early preemptive hydroxychloroquine therapy can prevent disease progression in persons with known symptomatic COVID-19 disease, decreasing hospitalizations and symptom severity.
This is a Phase 1/2 study of selinexor in combination with standard of care (SoC) therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (nGBM) or recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM). This study will be conducted in 2 phases: a Phase 1a dose finding study followed by Phase 1b (dose expansion) and a Phase 2 randomized efficacy exploration study and will independently evaluate 3 different combination regimens in 3 treatment arms in patients with nGBM (Arms A and B) or with rGBM (Arm C). - Arm A: evaluating the combination of selinexor with radiation therapy (S-RT) in nGBM participants with uMGMT - Arm B: evaluating the combination of selinexor with radiation therapy and temozolomide (TMZ) (S-TRT) in nGBM participants with methylated-O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (mMGMT) - Arm C: evaluating the combination of selinexor with lomustine (or carmustine, if lomustine is not available) (S-L/C) in rGBM participants regardless of MGMT status - Arm D: evaluating the combination of selinexor with bevacizumab in rGBM participants regardless of MGMT status - Arm E: evaluating the combination of selinexor with tumor treating fields (TTField) in rGBM participants regardless of MGMT status
Clinical phase 3 study to investigate the effect of recAP on 28 day mortality in patients admitted to the ICU with acute kidney injury that is caused by sepsis. The study has three distinct SA-AKI trial populations: 1. The main trial population: Patients with a pre-AKI reference eGFR ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and no proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 at time of randomization. 2. A 'moderate' CKD population: Patients with a pre-AKI reference eGFR ≥25 and <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and no proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 at time of randomization. 3. A Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) population: Patients with proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 at time of randomization with or without 'moderate' CKD. For patients in this population, COVID-19 should be the main cause of SA-AKI. In the main study population approximately 1400 patients will be enrolled and in the two cohorts with moderate CKD and COVID-19 each up to 100 patients. There are two arms in the study, one with active treatment and one with an inactive compound (placebo). Treatment is by 1 hour intravenous infusion, for three days. Patients are followed up for 28 days to see if there is an improvement on mortality, and followed for 90 and 180 days for mortality and other outcomes e.g. long-term kidney function and quality of life.
This study examines the safety and efficacy of using the Imvamune smallpox vaccine in the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of multiple CSJ117 doses (0.5; 1; 2; 4 and 8 mg) inhaled once daily compared with placebo, when added to standard-of-care (SoC) asthma therapy in adult patients with uncontrolled asthma with respect to change from baseline in FEV1 at the end of 12 weeks of treatment.
