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.
This will be a single center, Phase 1, open-label, randomized, single dose, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study to evaluate the PK, safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of SLC-391 under fed and fasted conditions in approximately 22 healthy male and non-childbearing potential female subjects. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment sequences with 11 subjects per treatment sequence. Each subject will receive both treatments (Treatment A and Treatment B) with a washout period of at least 7 days between successive SLC-391.
In New Brunswick, Canada, only 53% of Kindergarten to Grade 5 students reported eating five or more vegetables and fruits per day in 2016-2017. Low intakes of vegetables and fruits are a marker for poor nutrition, which may impair the growth and cognitive development of children and adolescents and may put them at risk of developing certain non-communicable diseases earlier in life. It has been suggested that increasing children's food literacy may be an effective way of promoting healthier diets, including increasing vegetable and fruit intake among students. Since children spend most of their waking hours at school, this may be a key setting for promoting food literacy and healthy eating behaviors. Previous studies have found that culinary interventions that include taste testing and nutrition education may improve students' food literacy and vegetable and fruit consumption. Therefore, this quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a school-based culinary program titled "Apprenti en Action" on primary school children's food literacy, breakfast, and vegetable and fruit consumption. Specifically, data were collected among Grade 5 students from ten francophone elementary schools, five of which received the "Apprenti en Action" program and five who did not. The "Apprenti en Action" program consisted of six, one-hour culinary workshops given once a week, at school, during school hours. Data on students' food literacy, breakfast, vegetable, and fruit consumption were collected via online questionnaires before and after the program. In addition to collecting quantitative data, qualitative data were collected from program participants and their parents to assess their perceptions of "Apprenti en Action".
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a shift in the use of at-home spaces for work, play and research. In the current study, the feasibility of implementing an at-home cognitive training tool called NeuroTrackerX, an anaglyph version of the three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) software NeuroTracker was examined, and with the intent of developing an effective protocol and determining the suitability of this tool for research purposes .
Asthma is a common pediatric condition that can be well controlled with regular use of controller medications, however adherence to these is low, resulting in preventable exacerbations and important short- and long-term morbidity. This project's aim is to understand cognitive factors influencing adherence to medication among children with asthma, examining specifically the influence of scarcity (a mindset experienced by those with less than they need, which is cognitively taxing) and future discounting (the focus on present concerns at the expense of distant ones). Using a single-centre, 12-month, prospective observation cohort study of 300 families of children with asthma, the objectives of this study are to: 1. Identify the relationship between scarcity, future discounting, and adherence to asthma medication. 2. Evaluate whether unmet social needs are associated with scarcity and future discounting. 3. Determine whether scarcity and future discounting mediate the relationship between unmet social needs and adherence to medication. Primary outcome will be adherence to controller medication, which will be measured for the 12 months of follow-up on a scale of 0 to 100%, by the 'proportion of prescribed days covered (PPDC)', a validated index calculated as the number of days for which the drug was dispensed by a pharmacy, divided by the number of days for which it was prescribed. Other measures include screening families for unmet social needs, psychometric testing to document scarcity and future discounting. This study will increase our understanding of how cognitive factors influence adherence to asthma controller medication, which will be instrumental in developing targeted interventions to improve adherence, especially for families experiencing with unmet social needs.
This study aims to develop and validate a sensitive and non-invasive eye-tracking software application. This study will obtain participant responses to brief cognitive tests designed to evaluate several key functions known to be affected by CIS and RRMS and non-invasive eye movement measurements in response to visually presented stimuli during specifically designed eye-tracking tests. The study data will be used to develop machine learning algorithms and validate a software application intended to identify which metrics-or combination thereof-can serve as reliable biomarker of CIS and RRMS disease progression and cognitive status.
This is a first time in-human (FTIH) study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of GSK4381562 in participants with select loco-regionally recurrent solid tumors or metastatic solid tumors where curative or standard treatment options have been exhausted.
A prospective observational crossover study of 160 consenting adult patients who underwent pain management. For insomnia treatment, each patient ingested different prescribed doses of Zopiclone or Clonidine on alternate nights. Each patient used a special validated sleep diary to collect data including pain score, sleep scores, sleep duration, sleep medication dose, and adverse effects. Each patient completed the diary for 3 continuous weeks. Pain was measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score was measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points was considered significant.
The overall objective is to study the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of linsitinib (a small molecule IGF-1R inhibitor) administered orally twice daily (BID) vs. placebo, at 24 weeks in the treatment of subjects with active, moderate to severe thyroid eye disease (TED).
SL03-Old Hundred(OHD)-104 is designed as a Phase 1a/1b open label, trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and preliminary efficacy of SL-172154 monotherapy as well as in combination with azacitidine or in combination with Azacitidine and Venetoclax.
The overarching aim of this study is to examine if there is additional benefit to adding trans-lingual electrical stimulation to physiotherapy aimed at improving walking and balance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
