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.
Dietary choices, quality of life and stress will be evaluated in a sample of 100 undergraduate students who are in their first year of university. Students will be randomized into the following two groups; intervention arm (students who will use a preventative self-care program for 12 weeks) vs. control arm (students who will not use a preventative self-care program for 12 weeks).
In this study, the investigators propose to randomize 80 subjects to receive either the Avenir cementless hip stem or a competing, HA-coated hip stem (Corail, DePuy-Synthes) and follow these patients for a period of 2 years post-surgery. The investigators aim to determine if the Avenir cementless hip stem has equivalent or better fixation and clinical outcomes compared to a predicate hip stem with longer clinical history.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ABI-H0731 given in combination with a standard of care (SOC) entecavir (ETV) is safe and effective in participants with chronic hepatitis B infection (cHBV)
Current guidelines in non-small cell lung cancer recommend genomic assessment for mutations in EGFR and BRAF, gene rearrangements in ALK and ROS1, and resistance mutations such as T790M upon progression during EGFR inhibitor therapy. However, obtaining sufficient tumour tissue to test for these molecular alterations, as well as those with emerging targeted therapies, is challenging in lung cancer. A promising method to improve molecular diagnostic testing in lung and other cancers is the use of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) obtained from blood samples or liquid biopsies. This multi-centre prospective study will compare blood-based profiling (using the GUARDANT360 assay) to standard of care tissue-based profiling within the Canadian system.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ABI-H0731 given in combination with a standard of care (SOC) hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NUC) medication is safe and effective in participants with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (cHBV).
B7451013 is a Phase 3 study to evaluate PF-04965842 in patients aged 12 years and older with a minimum body weight of 40 kg who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The efficacy and safety of two dosage strengths of PF-04965842, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily, will be evaluated relative to placebo over 12 weeks of study participation. Eligible patients will have an option to enter a long-term extension study after completing 12 weeks of treatment.
This is a single-center, non-randomized, non-blinded feasibility study to evaluate the performance, safety and tolerability of the Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy (PUG) procedure that utilizes a novel device in conjunction with widely available ultrasound technology. The procedure will be performed in up to 25 eligible subjects. Patients will be followed for 2 days following performance of PUG to assess for potential complications. If the patient remains hospitalized they will be assessed at date of discharge or Day 30 (whichever is earlier) for potential complications.
Mood disorders - principally major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder - are a significant public health issue affecting one in four people during their lives in total, over 8 million Canadians are affected by mood disorders, costing the economy over $6 billion annually. At Sunnybrook, 75% of inpatient mental health admissions are due to mood disorders. Mood disorders are generally recurrent: approximately half of depression is recurrent; chronic bipolar disorder is typical. Use of ratings scales by patients and clinicians to track symptoms has also been shown to enhance outcomes such as remission, medication adherence, and patient engagement. Education is considered a key component of treating mood disorders. However, which educational information is useful can vary: in depression, changes in illness severity have been shown to affect what information is absorbed, and timing is also important.To address this, this project will deliver, for the first time ever, a system for using data from patients with mood disorders' electronic mood journals, integrated into Sunnybrook's "MyChart" personal health record system, to drive just-in-time delivery of educational interventions, using feedback from users to maximize its usefulness.
Septoplasty is one of the most performed surgeries in rhinology as a solo procedure, or in combination with sinus surgery. The procedure for septoplasty and postoperative management has evolved over time based on several studies that have been done. The current standard of care in our centre is to conduct a septoplasty using quilting technique and apply Doyle splints in both nostrils to stabilize the septum for 6 days. However these splints are associated with morbidity in the post-op period. The quilting technique was developed to prevent complications and stabilize the septum. This study examines the efficacy of these splints in stabilizing the septum and preventing complications after septoplasty
This is a window of opportunity study for patients with resectable squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity who are considered suitable for curative-intent surgical resection, with pre-operative drugs, Sitravatinib and Nivolumab.
