There are about 28679 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 primary objective of the study is to measure efficacy of saruparib (AZD5305) plus camizestrant compared with physician's choice CDK4/6i plus ET in patients with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2m, HR-positive, HER2-negative (defined as IHC 0, 1+, 2+/ ISH non-amplified) advanced breast cancer.
The aim of this study is to examine the mechanisms of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) for improving cardiovascular and pulmonary function in individuals with chronic motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) by measuring vascular related endothelial biomarkers, plasma catecholamines, and respiratory parameters.
This study is open to patients with a type of cancer called melanoma. Patients can join the study if their tumor cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other organs, and are planned to receive immunotherapy as treatment for their cancer. This study is looking at whether taking calcium pantothenate supplement (a type of Vitamin B5) can increase its levels in the blood and have an effect in the immune system, when its used in combination with the immunotherapy.
A prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial in two tertiary pediatric emergency department. It will assess, amongst pediatric healthcare teams, whether the use of augmented reality supportive devices improves adherence to American Heart Association (AHA) advanced life support guidelines and performance, while reducing medication errors, when compared to groups using the AHA pocket reference card (control) during standardized, simulation-based, pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) scenarios. Seventy participants will be randomized. The primary endpoint is the time to first dose of epinephrine.
The investigator will evaluate the efficacy of M3©, an intervention for patients with JIA and their caregivers. Children with Juvenile arthritis and their parents will attend an 8 week online program called Making Mindfulness Matter (M3). This is a facilitator-led program that integrates knowledge and skills related to mindfulness, social-emotional learning, neuroscience, and positive psychology to promote coping and resiliency for children and families in context of the challenges of pediatric chronic disease. The child program is designed for children 4-12 years of age, with each lesson including a variety of concrete ways to teach children skills based on their age/developmental level.
The DECIDE-T project is developing a standardized clinical pathway specifically for pediatric patients who require tracheostomy with or without long-term ventilation (tracheostomy/LTV). These patients represent a small portion of Alberta's population but account for over 50% of pediatric patients hospitalized for more than 180 days. The pathway will include a hospital-to-home directive that incorporates digital health solutions to provide support to families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Digital supports will include a Connect Care pathway, resources for informed decision-making, educational modules, high-fidelity simulations for family and caregiver education, an online parental resource center, and access to peer support within the hospital and community, as well as a post-discharge telehealth program. The goal of the DECIDE-T project is to reduce hospital stays and associated costs for children requiring tracheostomy/LTV, as well as to decrease mental distress and burnout experienced by their caregivers and families.
This project builds on our experience with the ASAP Study (McGill University Health Centre research ethics board: MP-37-2020-4911). The goal of this study is to better understand the experience of migrant people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) of having their treatment switched to Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF). In other words, the investigators want to evaluate how feasible and acceptable this switch is, and how participants will take B/F/TAF (fidelity) and remain on it. The investigators also want to know more about migrant people with HIV's experience of care; namely, how often they see their HIV specialist or other healthcare professionals, and their healthcare coverage (the type of insurance that they have).
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with MASH are also at risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. There is no universally approved medication for MASH. Weight loss remains the cornerstone of MASH treatment. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who give informed consent will be enrolled in the trial and undergo the baseline liver biopsy (if none available). Approximately 120 patients with MASH and liver fibrosis (F1-F4 in baseline liver biopsy) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to metabolic surgery or medical treatment (incretin-based therapies ± other medical therapies for MASH) and followed for 2 years at which time a repeat liver biopsy will be performed for the assessment of the primary end point.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test if a patient navigator program improves healthcare experiences and outcomes for migrant families caring for a child or youth with special healthcare needs (i.e. chronic health condition). The main questions are, for migrant families with a child or youth with special healthcare needs: Does a patient navigator reduces barriers to care? Does a patient navigator improve care coordination, caregiver empowerment, caregiver stress and quality of life? What are the healthcare experiences for families with and without the patient navigator intervention? Participants will: - Receive the intervention, i.e., the patient navigator program, or continue with standard of care for 12 months - Fill out questionnaires at 3 time points on barriers to care, caregiver stress, care coordination, and their child's health
The goal of this study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol trifenatate (FF/UMEC/VI) with inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta-2 agonists (ICS/LABA) in adult participants with uncontrolled asthma
