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 will explore the causality between outcomes of subjective well-being and sedentary behavior, through experimentally decreasing the sedentary behavior levels of university students. Half of the eligible participants will receive a behavioral counseling intervention to increase non-sedentary behavior over one week, while the other half will receive no instructions. After one week, all participants will receive no instructions and continue to wear the inclinometer for another week.
Asthma is often associated with various comorbidities that may influence its clinical expression. Among those, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is observed in 5% of cases. Asthmatic patients with CRSwNP appear to have more severe and poorly controlled asthma, as well as greater bronchial and systemic inflammation, especially those using inhaled corticosteroids as control medication. However, this remains to be validated. In the last decade, there has been interest labeled for phenotyping of asthma and CRSwNP. However, there is scarce data on the phenotype of asthma with CRSwNP. This study aims to describe the phenotype of asthmatic patients with CRSwNP according to the clinical, physiological and inflammatory characteristics and whether there is a more severe phenotype related to the dose of inhaled corticosteroids and the percentage of induced sputum eosinophils.
This study is to confirm non-inferiority of the three MenACWY vaccines (Menveo, Menactra or Nimenrix) in adolescents, and to identify whether the number of previous doses of MenC influences the response to the MenACWY vaccine.
18F-DCFPyL is an agent that binds to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Due to high levels of PSMA in prostate cancer, treatments targeting PSMA have been developed to deliver therapy to these specific target cells. Unfortunately when this treatment is delivered there is radiotracer uptake in the salivary glands and kidneys, not related to cancer, which causes dry mouth and causes patients to stop treatment. It is proposed that having tomato juice containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) may reduce radiotracer uptake in the salivary glands and kidneys and reduce damage to these tissues.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of GSK3359609 and tremelimumab is safe and tolerable (Part 1) and provides significant survival benefit to subjects with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) to warrant further clinical investigation (Part 2). Part 1 (dose escalation) will enroll subjects with advanced, selected solid tumors. Subjects will receive escalating doses of GSK3359609 and tremelimumab in combination in Part 1. Part 2 is randomized expansion and will enroll subjects with R/R HNSCC who have disease progression after receiving at least 1 platinum-based chemotherapy and at least 1 anti-programmed death receptor protein-1 (PD-1)/anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy, whether in combination or separately. In Part 2, subjects will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either GSK3359609 in combination with tremelimumab at the recommended Phase 2 dose or investigators choice of a single-agent standard of care (SOC) therapy including paclitaxel, docetaxel or cetuximab. The total duration of subjects in the study will be approximately 4 years.
This study will look at the change in body weight from the start to the end of the study. Researchers will compare the weight loss in people taking semaglutide (a new medicine) to people taking "dummy" medicine. In addition to taking the medicine, participants will also have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how the participant can be more physically active and what participants can do to lose weight. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 2 years. The participants will have 19 clinic visits and 15 phone calls with the study doctor.
PanFAM-1 is a clinical study for early detection of pancreatic cancer in high-risk groups. The goals of the study are to assess the performance and diagnostic accuracy of the IMMray™ PanCan-d test compared to standard-of-care imaging.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 and Prevnar 13™ in healthy infants. This study will include both full-term infants (≥37 weeks gestational age) and premature infants (<37 weeks gestational age). Premature infants will be included in a Premature Infant Immunogenicity Substudy, which will assess immunogenicity and safety following administration of V114 or Prevnar 13™.
This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2/3 study of patients (aged 6 to 16 years) diagnosed with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy (Congenital DM1).
Post implant dosimetry is an essential part of quality assurance after permanent seed prostate brachytherapy. CT imaging is the standard of assessment but due to contouring uncertainties, MR-CT fusion is preferred. This is not always available due to financial restrictions. This study explores the possibility of post implant US-CT fusion to improve contouring accuracy and potentially replace the use of MR-CT fusion.
