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.
Drug-drug interaction study of Digoxin and AT-527 (R07496998)
This study is a single-center, open-label, 2-cohort, fixed-sequence, DDI study in healthy adult subjects. Healthy volunteers will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 in combination with midazolam or clarithromycin and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the investigational drug interacts with midazolam or clarithromycin.
This study is a single-center, open-label, 2-cohort, multiple dose, fixed-sequence, DDI study in healthy adult subjects. Healthy volunteers will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 in combination with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the investigational drug interacts with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
The aim of the Young Adult Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (YAC) study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Delivering Online "ZZZ's with Empirical support (DOZE) app, a unique digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) in young adult patients with chronic pain.
The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).
The overall goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored low-sodium dietary intervention is South Asian Canadians with stage one HTN. Specific objectives are to determine the feasibility (recruitment, retention, engagement and acceptability) of this intervention. Secondary outcomes include the effect of low-sodium dietary intervention on knowledge, attitude and self-regulation behaviours. Exploratory outcomes include its effect of systolic, diastolic blood pressure and sodium intake. Information obtained from this pilot trial will inform design of a larger randomized controlled trial in reducing BP in South Asian Canadians.
This study aims to establish a Controlled Human Infection Model of Bordetella pertussis by determining a reproducible and safe infectious bacterial dose (challenge inoculum) that achieves colonization and mild symptomatic infection in healthy adults.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of irregular heart rhythm due to electrical signal disturbances of the heart. It is a very common arrhythmia and the risk of developing AF increases with age and with other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and underlying heart disease. The main complications of AF are heart failure and stroke. However, studies have shown that restoration of normal rhythm does not reduce these complications. Rather, these complications are mitigated by controlling the heart rate and using blood thinners to prevent stroke. Symptoms secondary to AF can occur due to the irregular heart rate and poor contraction in the atria, the top chambers of the heart. These symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, and palpitations. Restoring sinus rhythm can sometimes alleviate these symptoms. Given that studies to date have not shown a difference in hard clinical endpoints between rate and rhythm control strategies, the decision to proceed with rhythm control depends on the patient symptom burden. Rhythm control strategies in patients with persistent AF include cardioversion back to sinus rhythm with long-term recurrence prevention via anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) or catheter ablation. However, many studies of these procedures omit a sham placebo control arm. No atrial fibrillation procedural intervention has been compared to a sham procedure. The cardioversion procedure can easily be compared to a "sham" alternative, as it is non-invasive with an expected response within days-to-weeks. Thus, a cardioversion versus "sham" cardioversion trial will allow us to truly assess the impact of a rhythm-control strategy on QOL. It is hypothesized that cardioversion of atrial fibrillation leads to significant improvement in quality of life (QOL) compared to sham cardioversion. Understanding the true QOL impact of sinus rhythm restoration in patients with persistent AF is of significant importance in guiding strategies for the management of AF. Hence, by evaluating what the true effect of cardioversion on QOL in this blinded study, we can better understand the role of medical management and AF ablation in our patients and assess resource allocation to these procedures.
Background: Lymphedema following lymph node dissection is a chronic condition that can limit physical, occupational, and social participation, impact self-image, and result in financial burden. Studies have reported lymphedema incidence rates of 39% to 73% following node dissection. Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) has been previously used to treat established lymphedema. More recently, with imaging capabilities guided by blue dye and indocyanine green dye, the possibility of prophylactic LVA has become feasible. A 2018 systematic review of 12 studies utilizing prophylactic LVA during lymphadenectomy indicated a 2/3 reduction in the risk of lymphedema. The literature yet lacks any phase III studies with stringent controls and long term follow-up. Objectives: To assess (primary endpoint) the impact of prophylactic LVA on presence or absence of lymphedema post axillary or groin lymphadenectomy and participant quality of life. To assess (secondary endpoint) the incidence of complications related to nodal dissection. Methods: This is a phase III RCT, block randomized for upper and lower extremities, recruiting adult patients planned for an axillary or groin node dissection as a result of cutaneous malignancy. Analysis of rates of lymphedema and quality of life reports will be done. Significance: Lymphedema is a feared outcome of surgical cancer care. Its impact on patients' daily lives is profound. A reduction of incidence of this debilitating condition by 2/3 would have significant impact on numerous lives and could also reduce the health system resources needed for its management.
