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 this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of revumenib when given in combination with 2 different chemotherapy regimens in participants with relapsed/refractory acute leukemias harboring KMT2A rearrangement, KMT2A amplification, NPM1c, or NUP98r.
This is a pilot or feasibility study to test the study plan and to find out whether enough participants will join a larger study and accept the study procedures. Eligible participants (adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme [GBM] and had a good tumour resection [>= 70% of initial tumour volume] and plan to receive 6 weeks of chemoradiation followed by up to 6 months of chemotherapy) are asked to donate their own stool samples at 4 different time points during their treatment course. Participants will also complete a 7-day diet diary and two questionnaires about their health-related quality of life. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain cancer in adults. The current best evidence-proven treatment for GBM includes maximum safe tumour resection, brain radiation over a 6-week period given with chemotherapy pills called temozolomide (Brand name: Temodal or Temodar), followed by approximately 6 months / cycles of temozolomide. Despite these treatments, the average life expectancy is generally less than 2 years. Researchers are recognizing that the immune system has an important role in directing the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiation, and newer therapies such as immunotherapies. Some immunotherapies have been quite successful in improving cancer control and survival in other cancers like melanoma (an aggressive skin cancer), but when these drugs were given to patients with GBM, there appeared to only be a small effect. Therefore, finding ways to make existing and new treatments work better should be a priority. Recent scientific studies have shown that the bacteria that make up our stool, often referred to as the gut microbiome, play a major role in regulating the immune system. For example, researchers were able to make patients with melanoma who previously did not respond to immunotherapy become responsive to the treatment after receiving a stool transplant from responders to immunotherapy. This provides proof of concept that we could modify the body's immune environment to favour cancer killing by changing a person's gut bacteria environment. The role of the gut bacteria in patients with brain cancer is poorly understood as very few studies have been published about it in this population. We believe that understanding the composition of the gut microbiome and how it relates to the effectiveness and side effects of treatments in GBM patients will be an important first step to understanding how we can modify the gut microbiome to improve outcomes for patients living with GBM.
The primary objectives of this study are to observe the safety and tolerability of bemarituzumab and to evaluate preliminary antitumor activity.
Babies who are born very prematurely are often born with murmurs in the heart. In preterm babies, one of the most common causes of murmur is the presence of a PDA. This is the persistence of a connection that normally exists in the baby before it is born, connecting between the major blood vessels that leave the heart. In term babies, this channel closes shortly after birth when normal adult circulation is achieved. However, in preterm babies, the PDA can remain open, which can lead to multiple problems in the baby. Our current standard of treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is to perform cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram) in all babies less than 29 weeks gestation to diagnose the presence of hsPDA. We also use an echocardiogram to follow the PDA until complete closure. If present, the standard treatment in the NICU is to give medication, usually Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), to close the PDA. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new type of device to detect oxygenated blood supply to the brain, kidney, and abdominal regions. This device is used to assess the effects of Ibuprofen on oxygen supply to these three regions.
The aim of this research is to add to the limited body of knowledge comparing the effectiveness of ultrasound (US) to MRI diagnoses in patients with TMJ disorders. More specifically, we will review the efficacy of handheld US devices, which has not yet been done to the author's knowledge.
This is a Phase 3, global, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of adjunctive GNX treatment in children and adults with TSC-related epilepsy. The study consists of a 4-week prospective Baseline phase, defined as the first 28 days following screening, followed by a double-blind phase consisting of a 4-week titration period (Day 1 to Day 28) and a 12-week maintenance period (Day 29 to Week 16).
This is a multi-center clinical study enrolling up to 86 participants. The primary objectives are to determine the objective response rate (ORR) established by the confirmed best overall response (BOR) following intratumoral administration of DaRT - Diffusing Alpha-Emitters Radiation Therapy, as well as to assess the Duration of Response (DOR) 6 months from initial response. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety of DaRT, and to assess the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), Overall Duration of Response (O-DOR), local control and quality of life (QOL) for patients treated with DaRT.
To examine the efficacy of Almond Therapy compared to Treatment as Usual when used in addition to an approved version of intranasal esketamine.
Acute respiratory infections (such as influenza-like illness and upper respiratory tract infection) and acute infectious diarrhea are, for the most part, conditions that do not require medical management or specific treatment. Depending on the level of their transmission in the community, however, these diseases place significant clinical and financial burden on the healthcare system, particularly on emergency departments (ED). The investigators propose a prospective multicenter cohort study with which they aim to validate clinical decision rules combining 1) rapid molecular tests and 2) risk stratification tools to identify patients at low risk for complications related to acute respiratory infection and acute infectious diarrhea. The use of these clinical decision rules by nurses in ED triage could allow low-risk patients to be sent directly home for self-treatment without having to see the emergency physician. By eliminating the need for physician assessment, paraclinical testing and prolonged waiting in the ED, these triage-based clinical decision rules could provide a new, safe care pathway for acute respiratory infections and acute infectious diarrhea, reducing the burden on the patient, the healthcare system, and society.
This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy and safety of the nanobody® sonelokimab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.
