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.
In this study, patients with dysfunction of the eustachian tube will be included. They will be randomized to one of two treatment groups. 1. balloon dilation of the eustachian tube or 2. nasal saline Patients will undergo follow-up for one year and will be able to crossover to the treatment arm after three months
This pilot study is to determine the safety and efficacy of oral sirolimus (blood trough level 6-10ng/ml) in patients with HHT that are experiencing moderate or severe epistaxis. The effect of oral sirolimus on epistaxis will be compared to baseline using the Patient-Reported Outcome of cumulative weekly nose Bleeding Duration (PRO-CB). The PRO-CB association with biomarker variability over the duration of the study will be investigated. In the pilot study subjects will be treated with 2mg of sirolimus once daily to obtain a trough level of 6-10ng/ml for 3 months.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if online group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for maternal postpartum depression (PPD) added to treatment as usual (TAU) leads to greater improvements in infant emotion regulation (ER) than maternal receipt of TAU alone immediately post-treatment and 6 months later. This study will also aim to determine what mechanisms PPD treatment leads to changes in infant ER.
Objective of the trial is to describe the efficacy and safety of satralizumab in patients with aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody seropositive NMOSD, either treatment naive or inadequate responders to previous treatment with rituximab (RTX) (or its biosimilar)
Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia predispose individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to endothelial dysfunction and a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Increased CVD risk in individuals with T2DM persists despite optimal pharmacological therapy, highlighting the need to identify complementary lifestyle interventions that improve cardiometabolic functions in this population. Evidence from animal models suggests that heat exposure improves metabolic functions. Notably, weekly heat exposure for 16 weeks blunts hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia induced by a high fat diet in mice. In parallel, studies in humans have shown that heat exposure improves vascular endothelial function. Based on such findings, it has been suggested that heat therapy may represent an effective lifestyle intervention to improve cardiometabolic functions. However, only 1 study has examined the impact of a heat therapy intervention on individuals with T2DM, demonstrating that 6 weeks of heat exposure reduces fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1C. No study has considered potential vascular benefits of heat therapy in individuals with T2DM. This project will investigate cardiometabolic responses to repeated heat exposure in men and women with T2DM. We will test the hypothesis that 12 weeks of heat therapy improves postprandial fatty acid handling, insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in individuals with T2DM.
This study is a prospective Phase I/II protocol enrolling men with either high intermediate-risk or high-risk or very high-risk prostate cancer. All men will have PSMA Targeted PET (using the PSMA targeting ligand PSMA 1007) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for delineation of intra-prostatic foci of cancer and any involved regional lymph nodes based on high SUV uptake on PET or mpMRI (T2W, DWI/ADC, DCE) appearance suspicious for cancer. Tumour delineation will be performed by fusing the PSMA PET and mpMRI with planning CT simulation images. Fiducial marker implantation for treatment guidance will be mandatory but use of other organs at risk protection strategies (i.e. GU Loc, Space-OAR) will be allowed but not mandatory. Patients will be treated with image-guided SBRT using the fiducial markers for intra-fraction motion management. Dose escalation to imaging defined targets (intra-prostatic and involved nodes on PSMA PET + MRI) will be accomplished through a simultaneous boost technique. Maintaining dose to organs at risk will take precedence over boost dose targets (targeted maximum dose of 50Gy/5 fractions to imaging defined prostatic lesion; 35Gy/5 fractions to imaging defined involved nodes).
To assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker, cognitive, and clinical efficacy of investigational products in participants with an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug improves disease-related biomarkers and slows the rate of progression of cognitive or clinical impairment.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of unesbulin plus dacarbazine versus placebo plus dacarbazine in participants with unresectable or metastatic, relapsed or refractory LMS who have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy.
This is a Phase IIIb, single-arm, multicenter, OLE study. Participants receiving ocrelizumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche sponsored Parent study who continue to receive ocrelizumab or are in safety follow-up at the time of the closure of their respective Parent study (WA21092, WA21093 or WA25046) are eligible for enrollment in this extension study. Participants who will continue ocrelizumab treatment will receive IMP based on the dosage and administration received at the time of rollover from the Parent study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the feasibility and efficacy of two group-based interventions (education vs. mindfulness) to help self-manage Long-COVID symptoms.
