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 aim of this study is to describe the safety profile of velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV) in participants with Gaucher disease type 1. Participants will be transitioning from other enzyme replacement therapies or substrate reduction therapies to VPRIV. Some participants may have already transitioned to treatment with VPRIV before this study started. In this study, data on VPRIV will be collected from the medical records of participants who already transitioned to VPRIV before this study started. Other participants will join this study when they transition to VPRIV. All participants will be followed to allow for 12 months of observation from time of transition to VPRIV. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.
The purpose of this research study is to see how safe and tolerable, and to find the highest or best dose, of an investigational combination of drugs called enasidenib and venetoclax, in patients with relapsed (the cancer has come back) or refractory (the cancer does not respond or have stopped responding to treatment) acute myeloid leukemia (AML, a type of blood cancer). This study will also see how useful the combination of enasidenib and venetoclax is in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
The primary aim of this study is to determine if clinically relevant doses of buccally administered oxandrolone are safe and tolerable in neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) or other single right ventricular anomalies who have undergone a Norwood procedure. The secondary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of buccally administered oxandrolone in improving objective indices of growth and nutrition in neonates who have undergone a Norwood procedure.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of re-induction with Nivolumab combined with ipilimumab.
To assess the long term safety and efficacy of treatment with BI 655130 in patients with AD who have completed and have responded to treatment in the parent study 1368-0032
Single-arm, open-label, phase II trial in 200 competent adult male patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-3 and progressive metastatic prostate cancer, failing, failed, refused, not eligible for or no access to further approved lines of therapy. Patients will undergo sequential FDG positron emission tomography (PET) and 18F-DCFPyL PET to assess FDG/DCFPyL concordance fraction. Patients with DCFPyL/FDG concordance of 50% or greater will be treated with 131I-PSMA-1095 radioligand therapy (RLT). Best post-treatment serum prostate specific antigen response will be compared to concordance fraction.
Nephrectomy (kidney removal) is one of the most common surgical procedures in urologic practice. Recent advances in laparoscopic (keyhole) procedures have resulted in a significant decrease in open nephrectomies. Most laparoscopic surgeries are performed through 3 to 4 small (1 to 1.5 cm) incisionsÍž however, laparoscopic nephrectomies for cancer include one of the incisions being extended to 7 to 10 cm for kidney removal. Although pain after laparoscopic surgery is somewhat less than that after open surgery, it is still significant, and opioid consumption is similar. Opioids have been a mainstay for the treatment of post-operative pain, but they are associated with many adverse effects and a potential for long-term use. Thus, combining opioid analgesia with other forms of analgesia has the potential to reduce opioid use. Paravertebral nerve blocks, where local anesthetic is injected near the spinal nerves, have recently shown good pain control in patients undergoing thoracic and abdominal surgeries. However, this technique is technically challenging, time consuming, and has the risk of significant side effects. Fascial plane blocks are an alternative to paravertebral blocks. Fascial plane blocks, where local anesthetic is injected in areas further away from the spinal nerves, are easier to perform than paravertebral blocks, and have fewer associated risks. A recently described fascial plane block, the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block, has been shown to be effective in controlling pain in a variety of surgeries. However, currently, there is little information regarding its use in laparoscopic nephrectomy. We are proposing this pilot randomized control trial to look at the feasibility of completing a larger randomized control trial to evaluate ESP blockade in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy for cancer. We will also investigate total opioid consumption, and pain scores at rest and during movement.
Study ROR-PH-302, ADVANCE CAPACITY, is designed to evaluate the effects of ralinepag therapy on exercise capacity as assessed by change in peak oxygen consumption (VO2) derived from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) after 28 weeks of treatment
Recently there has been an increased interest in limiting intake of carbohydrates (CHO) for improving long term health. While healthcare professionals (HCPs) are sometimes reluctant to limit the CHO intake due to the lack of information related to safety issues, low CHO diets are increasing in popularity amongst both people with and without diabetes. One of these diets, the very low CHO high fat diet (VLCHF) raises concern on its impact on the lipid profile, liver, response to glucagon, and insulin dose adjustments when adopting it in the context of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The investigators recently conducted a series of interviews with people with diabetes following a VLCHF diet (Brazeau et al. Manuscript in preparation) to inquire on their reasons for adopting VLCHF as well as challenges they faced. The main reasons to initiate the diet were to limit blood glucose fluctuations and reduce medication. An issue that was frequently mentioned during the interviews was the lack of support from HCPs which often leads to not discussing it with said HCP. This is an important source of concern that can lead to additional safety issues. Our goal is to provide information regarding the safety of a VLCHF diet for T1D and the individualized insulin adjustments required. The investigators aim to evaluate the changes in daily blood glucose fluctuations after 6 weeks of a VLCHF diet, to monitor the changes in the insulin dosing and to measure impact on lipid profiles, response to glucagon, and liver function.
This is a multi-centre, open-label, single arm phase 2 study to assess the efficacy of TRIFLURIDINE/TIPIRACIL, in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma as measured by median progression-free survival (PFS). This study will enroll a total of 47 patients over a 12-month period, according to a two stage enrollment design. Nine patients will be enrolled during the first stage and the trial will be terminated if 4 or more out of the 9 have disease progression. If the trial goes on to the second stage, a total of 47 patients (38 in second stage) will be required. Patients will be seen prior to enrolment (within 28 days of treatment), every 4 weeks while on treatment, at the end of treatment, and 30 days post-treatment. Patients will remain on long-term follow-up and will be seen every 12 weeks (+/- 14 days) until 1 year post-treatment when they will enter into the survival follow-up period and will be contacted every 12 weeks by phone until progression or toxicity.
