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 the current ZOSTER-101 long-term follow-up (LTFU) study of ZOSTER-049 (NCT02723773) study, an extension of ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229) primary studies, is to assess the long-term vaccine efficacy (VE) against Herpes Zoster (HZ) (approximately 11-15 years post primary vaccination in ZOSTER-006/022 studies), persistence of immunogenicity and safety of GSK's Herpes Zoster subunit (HZ/su) vaccine in older adults. The persistence of immunogenicity and safety of 1 or 2 additional doses (0, 2-month schedule) of HZ/su vaccine administered to a small group of participants in ZOSTER-049 study (approximately 5 years after the initial vaccination in ZOSTER-006/022 studies) will also be assessed.
This is a study of pembrolizumab as consolidation therapy for a patient with small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT).
Tobacco use is the single greatest preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada, accounting for 48,000 deaths and $16.2 billion annually in attributable health-related costs. Parents who smoke are often medically underserved and visit their child's doctor more than their own; 25% of all adult smokers have children seen in child healthcare. When parents quit smoking, their life expectancy is increased by more than 10 years, tobacco-related poor pregnancy outcomes are eliminated, children's risk of becoming smokers decreases 4-fold, families have more money for necessities, and children are less likely to suffer from diseases caused by tobacco smoke exposure. Despite free tobacco cessation services in every province and widespread insurance coverage of NRT, parental tobacco screening and cessation support rarely happens in pediatric care, thus there is potential for major health benefits from a routinely delivered tobacco control program to parents in this setting. The investigators will conduct a 12-month single centre, pragmatic, single-blind pilot RCT of CEASE vs. usual care of 70 parents who use cigarettes and/or vaping products whose children are seen in pediatric clinics at the CHU Sainte-Justine. A similar trial, CEASE-A will be conducted with 70 adolescents ages 14-17. Objectives: 1. Perform a pilot RCT of the Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke (CEASE) intervention in Canada. CEASE is an evidence-based parental smoking cessation intervention to ensure that every parent who uses cigarettes and/or nicotine vaping products and visits their child's pediatrician receives nicotine dependence treatment 2. Conduct an ancillary pilot RCT of CEASE-A to deliver evidence-based support for adolescents who use tobacco and/or nicotine vaping products Outcomes include pilot process outcomes and preliminary effectiveness outcomes to assess feasibility and inform the preparation of a future large-scale RCT. This pilot RCT will provide the data necessary to plan a fully powered RCT assessing the effectiveness of CEASE and CEASE-A for smoking and vaping cessation.
After breast cancer patients complete the acute phase of their treatment (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy), they are routinely followed in clinic every 3-6 months for several years. Multiple guideline recommendations exist with no consensus on the optimal follow-up schedule due to lack of randomized data to support any particular follow-up recommendation. Therefore the investigators propose a randomized trial evaluating personalized vs guideline-based well follow-up strategies for patients with early-stage breast cancer.
Apheleia-001 is a prescreener that aims to identify and characterize participants with reported cognitive impairment using demographic information, clinical history, brief cognitive assessments, and blood-based biomarkers to distinguish appropriate participants for referral to a therapeutic AD clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory dose response of paltusotine treatment in subjects with carcinoid syndrome. This study consists of a Randomized Treatment Phase followed by an Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase.
To determine the distribution of visceral fat in people living with HIV (PLHIV) with NAFLD by clinical anthropometric indicators (wais-to-hip ratio), lipid accumulation product (waist circumference and triglycerides) and radiological techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (trunk fat mass and fat mass through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry).
69 subjects with ALS will be enrolled in the study and randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive the study drug or placebo tablets. Randomization sequences will be in random block sizes and stratified for ENCALS risk category [high risk ≥ -4.5 vs. low risk < -4.5], and for background ALS treatment (riluzole and/or edaravone and/or sodium phenylbutyrate and/or taurursodiol) vs. no background ALS treatment. All subjects will be administered the drug/placebo twice daily (BID), two tablets each time, for 6 months. Subjects will be allowed to receive standard of care (SOC) treatment of approved products (i.e., riluzole and edaravone). Additionally, subjects will be allowed to receive treatment with off-label sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol, which are accepted for ALS treatment. Subjects will be evaluated every 2 months for safety, tolerability (adverse events, safety laboratory, vital signs, ECG, withdrawal rates and reasons) and efficacy (e.g. biomarkers, clinical outcomes (ALSFRS-R and SVC, quality of life and survival). All subjects who complete the 6 months dosing will be switched to the active arm for a 12-month open label extension (OLE).
The main aim is to see how TAK-062 works to reduce celiac-related symptoms and improve small intestinal damage due to gluten exposure, in participants with celiac disease (CeD) attempting to maintain a gluten-free diet (GFD) in treated participants versus placebo controls.
This is a 96-week extension study of open-label simufilam 100 mg b.i.d. for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease subjects who completed the Phase 2 study, PTI-125-04. The study will evaluate safety and long-term treatment. Safety will be assessed by AE monitoring, clinical labs, urinalysis, vital signs, ECGs, and C-SSRS.
