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 clinical research is to compare new methods of identifying the locations of tumours to standard CT imaging. Analysis of the tissue removed during surgery (pathology) will be used to determine which method is more accurate. Accurately identifying the locations of tumours is especially important for radiation therapy, where the radiation needs to cover the entire tumour while minimizing the amount normal tissue that is exposed to radiation. The new method uses optical imaging (endoscopy) that can be mapped to the CT imaging using device tracking technologies. CT imaging is used to create the radiation treatment plans and so tumour locations are normally provided by CT images. The advantage of the new technology that is being tested is that it may be able to locate regions of a tumour that are at the surface of the tissue. These tumours are difficult to see using CT imaging but easy to see using optical imaging. Currently, there is no accurate way of mapping the optical imaging to the CT images used in radiation therapy. This study will enable the investigators to test the new optical imaging by comparing the tumour that the investigators identify using CT imaging alone against using CT imaging plus the optical imaging technology. The results from this imaging will be compared to pathology findings.
The purpose of this study is to explore the antiviral effect of JNJ-53718678 at 2 dose levels (80 milligrams [mg] and 500 mg) once daily for 7 days in adults with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection, as measured by RSV viral load in nasal secretions by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
To evaluate the validity, reliability, and acceptability of employing family-administered delirium detection tools in the critically ill. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the care of critically ill patients by creating valid, earlier, and patient and family-centered prevention, recognition, and management of delirium.
The study type is a prospective observational cohort study of children undergoing adenotonsillectomy (T&A). The study will recruit the annual caseload of children undergoing T&A at the Montreal Children's Hospital, QC, Canada; aiming for 200 children. There are no interventions. The purpose of this study is to determine the severity and duration of postoperative pain after T&A and to link the severity of this pain with the severity of sleep disordered breathing.
The objective of the trial is to demonstrate superiority of dasiglucagon compared to placebo following a single subcutaneous dose administered to subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Additionally to compare the glycemic response observed after administration dasiglucagon with that of GlucaGen®.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous AEB1102 in patients who complete Study CAEB1102-101A.
The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of a novel colonic and oral fecal microbiota transplantation protocol for the treatment of active pediatric Crohn's disease (CD). Specifically, we will test the hypothesis that a protocol of combination fecal microbiota colonoscopic infusion and oral microbiota capsules (OMC), using live fecal material from anonymous unrelated donors, can improve the disease activity of pediatric CD patients.
The investigators are doing this study to see the effect of insulin degludec in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, and if it is safe to use. In this study the medicine insulin degludec is compared to another medicine called insulin detemir. Participants will either get insulin degludec or insulin detemir and take it together with a medicine called insulin aspart - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get pre-filled insulin pens. Participants will need to take blood sugar measurements several times a day. The study will last between 10 and 25 months depending on whether participants are already pregnant when they join the study. The number of visits and the tests ( for example blood and urine samples and ultrasound scans) the participants will have also depends on whether they are pregnant at study start.
This phase II trial studies how well talazoparib works in treating patients with homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRRD) positive stage IV squamous cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Regular physical activity is well established to decrease the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. While research has characterized responses based on exercise intensity, many beneficial effects of exercise are transient in nature, and therefore exercise frequency may play an important, yet currently under-appreciated, role in improving health. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of 6-week high-frequency endurance (END) or low-frequency sprint (SIT) training with respect to reducing clinically relevant cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight/obese males. It is hypothesized that END, performed at a greater frequency than SIT, will markedly improve cardiometabolic health, while low-frequency SIT will not.
