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 study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of CC-95251 alone and in combination with antineoplastic agents in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia and relapsed or refractory and treatment-naive higher risk melodysplastic syndromes.
Background: Trainees learn surgical technical skills through apprenticeship model working closely with surgeons and given increased responsibility in patient cases under expert supervision. However, factors such as surgeons' busy schedule, number of available patient cases, patient safety and lack of objectivity and standardization in training pose strong limitations. Virtual reality surgical simulators integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) systems provide a standardized realistic simulation environment and detailed performance data that allows accurate quantitation of surgical skills and tailored feedback. These platforms make repetitive practice of surgical skills possible in a risk-free environment. The Intelligent Continuous Monitoring System (ICEMS), a deep learning application integrated in NeuroVR simulation platform, was developed to assess surgical performance continuously in 0.2 second intervals and provide coaching and risk detection. Although a predictive validity for assessment module was provided previously, the effectiveness of real-time coaching and risk detection ability with this AI system remains to be explored. The objective of this study is to compare the error-oriented intelligent feedback provided by the ICEMS to in-person expert instruction in surgical simulation training by monitoring the improvement of medical student technical skills on a series of virtual reality tumor resection tasks.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is very common in older adults and is one of the most common reasons for disability and poor quality of life. Lack of physical activity is considered to negatively impact CLBP and show an inverse association with pain symptoms and limitations. Remote and real-time monitoring can allow ecological momentary assessment which involves repeated sampling of participants' current behaviors and experiences in their natural environments. Recent advances allow monitoring of activity using inertial measurement units (consisting of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers) that can be worn by an individual at home or during work. In our study, we plan to test the feasibility and acceptability of the wearable devices in elderly patients with CLBP and to explore the use of data analytics and machine learning on the recorded data, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a larger cohort study.
Investigators will work with community partners to undertake an evaluation of the impact of the Healthy Relationships Program-Enhanced (HRP-E) for youth to build evidence on effective programming with diverse vulnerable youth populations in real-world contexts. Youth participants will complete four surveys before and after participating in the HRP-E program and an interview approximately 4 to 6 months after participating in the program. Program facilitators will also track session activities and youth participation throughout the program and are invited to participate in a survey after the program is complete.
Prior studies have shown that programs that focus on promoting brain health and managing lifestyle risks (such as poor diet, obesity, physical inactivity, sleep issues, loneliness) may help in preventing or lowering the risk of dementia. To address this, investigators have developed the CAN-THUMBS UP program to conduct studies that target lifestyle risk and focus on dementia prevention. An online Brain Health Support Program (BHSP) has been developed. The BHSP is an educational program designed to teach about dementia. Before the full BHSP is offered to a large group, we are conducting an initial pilot study to help assess the usability of the program.
To evaluate the clinical performance of two monthly silicone hydrogel contact lenses in habitual wearers of frequent replacement (FRP) lenses when worn for 1-month.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab Dose 1 and Dose 2 administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD and history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbation of COPD in the previous 12 months. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with maintenance inhaled therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) in stable doses throughout at least 3 months prior to enrolment.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of nanatinostat in combination with valganciclovir in patients with relapsed/refractory EBV-positive solid tumors and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Avoiding warm ischemia time during vascular anastomosis of the renal allograft is important to prevent damage. The investigators are studying a cooling device that may control the temperature of the renal allograft during transplant surgery; attempting to keep temperatures at or below 5°C for at least 60 minutes. If found effective, this could eliminate warm ischemia and potentially prevent damage to transplanted kidneys.
This is a pragmatic, two-arm, open-label, prospective stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial (SW-CRCT) looking to evaluate early intramuscular (IM) epinephrine in the management of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA).
