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 main objectives of this trial are to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of different doses of BI 655064 versus placebo as add-on therapy to Standard of Care (SOC) during maintenance therapy for lupus nephritis.
The prevention of infection is the single most important goal influencing peri-operative care of patients with open fractures. Standard practice in the management of open fractures includes sterile technique and pre-operative skin preparation with an antiseptic solution. The available solutions kill bacteria and decrease the quantity of native skin flora, thereby decreasing surgical site infection (SSI). While there is extensive guidance on specific procedures for prophylactic antibiotic use and standards for sterile technique, the evidence regarding the choice of antiseptic skin preparation solution is very limited for open fracture surgery.
This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, including tolerability, of ISIS 678354 and to assess the efficacy of different doses and dosing regimens of ISIS 678354 for reduction of serum triglyceride (TG) levels in participants with hypertriglyceridemia and established CVD or at a high risk for CVD.
The goal of this study is to find out if a drug called selatogrel (ACT-246475) can prevent platelets from binding together when administered by an injection under the skin in the thigh or in the belly. Another goal is to know how fast and for how long selatogrel (ACT-246475) works and if there is a difference if the drug is injected in the thigh or in the belly. This study will also help to find out more about the safety of this new drug.
This is a multi-center phase 2b study in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis. Approximately 300 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 60 investigator sites in North America and Europe.
This study is assessing if a reduced dosing schedule (1+1) of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is non-inferior to the currently used schedule used in most of Canada.The vaccine is currently usually given as 3 doses at 2, 4 and 12 months of age. This study aims to find out if it is possible to achieve the same protection using just 2 doses, at 2 and 12 months.
It is well known that the hormone insulin lowers blood glucose in part by acting directly on the liver and reducing hepatic glucose production. Animal studies have shown that the hormone insulin can act on the brain to indirectly lower glucose production by the liver. It has previously been shown that a nasal spray can deliver insulin directly to the brain without affecting circulating insulin concentration in humans. Intranasal spray of insulin suppressed hepatic glucose production in lean subjects. It is unknown whether this effects is blunted in subjects with insulin resistance.
The objective of the CHORAL study is to evaluate the de-adoption of oral chlorhexidine and the introduction of a bundle of oral care practices on selected outcomes in critically ill mechanically ventilated adults.
This study seeks to determine whether patients pursuing injectable treatments for facial volume loss and/or contour deficiency can be separated into strata based on characteristics such as skin envelope and subcutaneous tissue quantity in the zygomatic, submalar and anteromedial cheek regions in order to guide the clinician in making the ideal product choice (i.e., Restylane Volyme vs Lyft)?
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in collaboration with Propeller Health has developed a sensor, which can clip on to the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and monitor the time and date that the ELLIPTA DPI cover is fully opened and closed. Additionally, a sensor will be attached to the rescue medication metered dose inhaler (MDI). The data from both sensors will be fed back to the subject via an application (app) on smart phone and will be reviewed by the subject's health care professional (HCP) via an online dashboard. The sensors, app, dashboard and systems to provide data comprise the CIS. This study will be the first to evaluate the effect of CIS on adherence to maintenance therapy in subjects with uncontrolled asthma. This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group study in asthmatic subjects currently on a fixed dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) maintenance therapy. Eligible subjects will receive RELVAR®/BREO® maintenance therapy via ELLIPTA DPI and salbutamol rescue medication via MDI with sensors attached to both inhalers during the run-in period, which may last for up to 3 months. Eligible subjects will then be randomized into five treatment arms depending on whether the data, from RELVAR/BREO ELLIPTA or RELVAR/BREO ELLIPTA and salbutamol MDI, is fed back to the subject or subject and HCP, or not at all. The treatment period for the study is approximately 6 months and there will be a follow-up period one week post last visit. The total duration of a subject in the study will be approximately 9 months. RELVAR, BREO and ELLIPTA are registered trademarks of GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.
