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 feasibility study will explore the effects of three different InterStim amplitude settings on overactive bladder symptoms (OAB).
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of the Cogmed training program on working memory among youths 7 to 13 years old, while controlling presence and presentation of ADHD-related comorbidity. A secondary objective was to examine the generalization of effects to ADHD symptoms, non-verbal reasoning, attentional and executive functions, motor impulsivity, reading comprehension, and mathematical reasoning. Participants were under pharmacological treatment for ADHD combined type and a comorbidity. They were randomized into an experimental group that received the Cogmed program and an active control group that received a low-intensity comparison version of the training. They were evaluated at three time points: six weeks prior to intervention onset (T1), immediately prior to onset(T2), and one week following intervention completion (T3).
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 7 men. Half of these men are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT slows disease progression and prolongs survival, but it also leads to worse quality of life (QOL), fatigue, loss of strength and fitness, osteoporosis, and diabetes. The investigators' recent research has shown that individually supervised exercise, supervised group exercise and home-based exercise are equally good at improving these side effects. Now the investigators are doing a larger trial with multiple centres to see whether supervised group or home-based exercise is clinically better and more economical. A major challenge in such trials is that a significant number of men refuse to be randomized because (a) the participant lives too far from a study centre and cannot come for supervised exercise; or (b) the participant has a strong preference as to which type of exercise program the participant wants to do. Experts have raised concerns that classic randomized trials are too restrictive, selective, and less practical; the study results are less applicable to the real world. Despite its obvious importance, it is not known whether men who refuse to be randomized to an exercise trial but are otherwise willing to participate would benefit similarly to men who are randomized. In this study, we will recruit men who are otherwise eligible for our randomized trial but refuse it for one of the reasons above. We will allow these men to choose either supervised group or home-based exercise, and then compare them to the men who are being randomized to the two treatments in 3 important ways. First, are participants similar in terms of personal characteristics, QOL, and fitness levels? Second, do participants respond similarly to exercise in terms of QOL and physical fitness benefits? Third, do participants actually exercise as much as the randomized men? This work will help the research team understand whether there is a need to change the way exercise trials are done in order to be more relevant and wide-reaching for Canadians with a variety of health conditions.
The Advanced Symptom Monitoring and Management System - Canada (ASyMS-Can) is a remote phone-based symptom management system that prompts patient self-care and clinician telephone triage and intervention based on alerts for managing cancer treatment side effects such as nausea and vomiting, fatigue, etc. ASyMS-Can is an android phone-based application that is given to patients to self-report their symptoms using a patient reported outcome symptom questionnaire and level of severity daily, on a secure mobile android phone, from home or outside of clinics. Based on back-end computations, patients receive automated self-care notifications on their mobile phones with advice on self-care for mild to moderate severe symptoms. The system also in the case of severe symptoms will alert the designated clinic nurse to prompt electronic telephone triage and intervention (yellow alert response in 4 hours or within 30 minutes for severe symptoms-red alert).
The purpose of the DIAMOND-AF study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the DiamondTemp System for the treatment of drug refractory, recurrent, symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients.
Seven-point capillary profiles have shown that mean glucose correlates with both diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy risk. However, there remains great controversy as to whether the degree of variability around mean glucose may also contribute to these microvascular complications. The PERL trial (NCT02017171), testing whether treatment with allopurinol can slow down kidney function loss in type 1 diabetes, provides a unique opportunity to assess the role of glycemic variability in the progression of diabetic kidney disease in individuals who already have mild to moderate kidney disease. By applying Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the PERL Study population, the investigators will be able to better understand how metrics of glycemia (mean, time above and below range, and various measures of variability) are associated with renal outcomes in the PERL population as a whole, but also in important subgroups (e.g., albuminuric vs. normoalbuminuric subjects with ongoing GFR decline, allopurinol vs. placebo arms). The nvestigators also aim to obtain precise information on the range of blood glucose corresponding to any given HbA1c value in this population since previous studies generally excluded patients with renal disease.
The purpose is to assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics effect of IONIS DGAT2Rx in up to 45 Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
The study was a dose-ranging, 18-week study comparing two doses of HTD1801 (500 mg BID and 1000 mg BID) to placebo in adult subjects with PSC.
Improving Cancer Care Together through eOncoNote is a pragmatic randomized trial involving a secure online eConsultation system (referred to as eOncoNote) that will allow primary care providers and cancer specialist providers to communicate about their patients.
As a follow-on study to NCT01416038, this study is designed to identify the optimal dosage of immunotherapeutic survivin vaccine DPX-Survivac and low dose oral cyclophosphamide. The combination treatment is being evaluated in a non-randomized, multi-cohort study as post-chemotherapy treatment for patients with late-stage ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.
