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.
To control pain after total knee replacement surgery a catheter (tubing) is sometimes inserted into an anatomic space containing nerves that provide sensation to parts of the knee. This space is called the adductor canal. The catheters often stop working before we remove them for unclear reasons. The investigators think this is because the catheters become dislodged from where it was meant to be. This could be due to repeated movements of the catheter tip brought on by patients contracting their leg muscles when they ambulate or perform physio. The investigators want to confirm this by measuring the distance from a fixed spot on the patient's thigh to the adductor canal using an ultrasound machine. The leg will be measured in various positions to simulate muscle movements. A significant change in the distance could possibly contribute to catheter dislodgement and result in catheter failure.
The purpose of this trial is to test if treatment with the trial drug, tralokinumab, can affect the body's immune response to vaccines. The trial will also evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab when it is given concomitantly with vaccines.> The trial includes a screening period of 2 to 6 weeks, a treatment period of 16 weeks (Weeks 0 to 16), and a 14-week off-treatment follow-up period for the assessment of safety (Weeks 16 to 30). Eligible subjects may transfer to an open-label, long-term trial at Week 16 or later.
A systematic review examining outpatient opioid use identified only three pediatric studies published between 2015 and 2016. Of these three, two studies had a short-term follow up with patients at three days after discharge; moreover, these three studies were limited by focusing on one surgical population, restriction of data to 0-12 yr old participants, and the other being a brief report. As a result, there are no pediatric studies that have examined opioid use amongst 0-18 yr olds, across multiple surgery types, and beyond 3 days after discharge.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IW-3718 administered to patients with GERD who continue to have persistent symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation, while receiving once-daily (QD), standard dose PPIs.
The study is a two-year prospective observational study of patients treated with teriflunomide. The investigators will recruit up to 75 patients at baseline, based on the estimate that approximately 20% of these patients (~ 15 patients) will have evidence of disease activity at the end of the first year of treatment with teriflunomide, as determined by clinical evaluation (relapses) and MRI activity (new T2 hyperintense lesions). The investigators will assess the expression of a putative biomarker signature consisting of toll like receptor 2(TLR2), TLR4 and chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1) on CD4 T-subsets at baseline and at intervals on treatment with teriflunomide to determine whether expression of this biomarker signature on one or more CD4 T-subsets correlates with disease activity.
This study will evaluate health utilities in patients with breast or colorectal cancer.
In a person with cancer, low muscle mass and strength increases the risks of suffering from severe complications of the disease, its treatment, and dying. To prevent muscle loss in cancer, stimulating muscle protein anabolism (growth) by fueling muscles with protein is crucial. Dairy products are not only a source of high-quality protein but are a preferred food choice for cancer patients as they progress through chemotherapy treatment. Although commercially available oral nutritional supplements containing essential amino acids are often promoted for protein anabolism, these products are not preferred by cancer patients. Moreover, our research group has shown that patients consuming oral nutritional supplements actually lose more weight than those who chose regular whole-food items. Evidence of the health effects of consuming dairy products is needed to influence dietary recommendations for people with cancer. The objective of our study is to perform a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of dairy products to maintain muscle mass and strength and improve patient outcomes in people undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
Study AG348-C-007 was a multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with AG-348 in a minimum of 20, with up to 40, participants with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, who were regularly receiving blood transfusions. The study was composed of two parts. During Part 1, Dose Optimization Period, participants started on a dose of 5 mg AG-348 administered twice daily. Over the course of Part 1 each participant's dose of AG-348 was sequentially increased to 20 mg twice a day, followed by 50 mg twice a day depending on their tolerance. During Part 2, Fixed-Dose Period, participants received AG-348 at their optimized dose from Part 1.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of galcanezumab in people with treatment-resistant episodic or chronic migraine.
The primary objective is to assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) improves upon the efficacy of Timothy Grass SCIT to reduce provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract at week 17. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to placebo reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract - To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to dupilumab + SCIT reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract - To assess changes in serum Timothy-grass-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), serum Timothy grass-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), and ratio of serum Timothy Grass-specific IgG4 to IgE over 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab + SCIT as compared to SCIT monotherapy - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass SCIT
