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 study will investigate whether or not it is feasible to closely monitor and manage glucose levels in people with pancreatic cancer. It will also investigate what impact glucose management may have on pancreatic cancer. This is a pilot study that will use continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to monitor glucose levels in approximately 50 participants with pancreatic cancer. Participants will receive standard chemotherapy with a combination of up to four drugs to treat their pancreatic cancer: oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFIRINOX). To treat high glucose levels, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1 will receive anti-hyperglycemic treatment as guided by an endocrinologist with the aim of maintaining glucose levels between 4 and 10 mmol/L; Group 2 will receive anti-hyperglycemic treatment if their glucose levels are above 15 mmol/L, which is standard care. Participants in both Groups 1 and 2 will receive standard anti-hyperglycemic treatments: metformin, insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) inhibitors, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. After 4 cycles of FOLFIRINOX, the CGM will be removed but any anti-hyperglycemic treatments will continue as needed. If participants discontinue treatment with FOLFIRINOX, they will continue to be followed for survival and subsequent anti-cancer therapy and will continue follow-up for glucose-related concerns at the discretion of their endocrinologist and/or medical oncologist.
This is a phase IV, 12-month observational, prospective, open-label, multi-center study that will be conducted across approximately 50 sites in Canada for an estimated study duration of 32 months. All eligible adult participants who are enrolling into the SILIQ Patient Support Program (PSP) and initiating brodalumab as per routine care may be offered participation in the study. If the participant agrees, their verbal consent and details will be entered into the study platform by the enrolling physician so that the participant can access the electronic informed consent form. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria and provide electronic informed consent will be enrolled in the study. The study observation period will be 12 months (±15 days). Data will be collected on approximately 500 participants across academic and community centers.
This is an academic open-label, phase II randomized study in patients with steroid resistant severe acute Graft versus host disease (GvHD) who have had allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The main purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Decidual Stromal Cells (DSC) with Investigators choice best available treatment (BAT). If randomized to DSC arm, patients will receive 2 infusions in the vein at least one week apart. Additional doses (up to 4 doses) of DSC may be given depending on response.
This is a phase III randomized open label study designed to compare JDQ443 as monotherapy to docetaxel in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring a KRAS G12C mutation who have been previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy either in sequence or in combination.
This is an interventional, randomized, parallel group, treatment, Phase IIb, double blind, 5-arm study to assess the effect of Anti-OX40L Monoclonal Antibody (KY1005) in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The estimated duration is 28 days for screening and then up to approximately day 477 (last dose no later than day 337+140 days safety follow-up) for all patients unless enrolled into the LTE (Long-Term Extension) protocol (NCT05492578) at either Day 169 depending on responder status or no later than Day 365 due to loss of clinical response.
This will be a multi-centre randomized controlled trial, with London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) as the lead site. Elderly patients with complex ankle fractures who meet the inclusion criteria and provide consent will be randomized (through a web-based randomization system) to one of the two treatment arms. One group (Group A) will receive primary ankle fusion, and the second group (Group B) will receive primary ankle open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Patient important outcomes will be compared at one year post injury
This is a prospective, phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CSL312 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen (formerly known as AKCEA-APOCIII-LRx) on the percent change in fasting triglycerides (TG) from baseline.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of mRNA-3927 administered to participants with propionic acidemia (PA) who have previously participated in Study mRNA-3927-P101 (NCT04159103).
Residents living in long-term care (LTC) homes spend up to 75% of their day in sedentary, socially withdrawn situations which increases their risk for depression, dementia, decreased functional status and increased care costs. Physical activity is an accepted intervention to improve the physical health, cognition, and well-being of older adults. Moreover, systematic reviews have found that exergaming (i.e. physical activity gamified with technology) offers physical, cognitive, and social benefits by means of dual-task activities that engage both motor and cognitive abilities. The effect of exergaming for older adults in LTC is less clear, as this population has greater health needs related to physical health conditions, cognitive impairment, and functional dependence. Given the increased global demand for LTC, there is a need to develop and assess innovative exergaming technologies that can support the physical and cognitive health of LTC residents. MouvMat is an exergaming technology intervention with an interactive digital gaming surface designed for older adults (OA) in LTC settings. Participants can play familiar games, like Simon or Bingo, by stepping on or tapping the surface with an assistive pointing device. Games can be played individually or with multiple players. LED lights on the surface provide an adaptive digital display and embedded pressure sensors respond to players' input. The investigators collaboratively designed a preliminary prototype with OA aged 65 and older in a pilot project. The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a pilot RCT of the Mouvmat to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of the exergaming technology to improve the primary outcome of mobility, and the secondary outcomes of cognitive function and social isolation compared to a usual care control group receiving standard recreational programming by recreational therapists.
