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.
Palliative care is defined as multidisciplinary care that increases quality of life (QOL) for patients with a life-threatening illness. Although it is known that patients with the most severe physical and psychological symptoms have the greatest need for palliative care, these patients are often not referred to palliative care services in a timely manner. The investigators have developed a system called STEP (Symptom screening with Targeted Early Palliative care) that identifies patients with high symptom burden in order to offer them timely access to palliative care. The investigators are conducting a multi-center trial at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Kingston General Hospital to compare STEP with usual symptom screening in medical oncology clinics.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of linzagolix administered orally once daily for 3 months at a dose of 75 mg alone or of 200 mg in combination with add-back hormone replacement therapy (ABT: estradiol (E2) 1 mg / norethisterone acetate (NETA) 0.5 mg) versus placebo, in the management of moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain (EAP).
Insomnia is a disorder where people are having trouble sleeping and can include difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep and waking up too early, as well as having unrefreshing sleep. CHI-921 is a cannabis extract in sunflower oil produced as a treatment for insomnia. This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHI-921 on people with insomnia.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of azeliragon in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and impaired glucose tolerance. Patients will receive either azeliragon or placebo with a patient's participation lasting approximately 9 months (in Part 1) or 21 months (in Part 2).
The presence of short cervix during pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm birth though in many cases women will eventually deliver at term or near term. While there are proven treatments such as cerclage and progesterone that can improve pregnancy outcomes, many women are advised to limit their activity, are put on bed rest, or admitted to hospital for inpatient management. Presently, there is no evidence that hospital admission of women with short cervix is beneficial and prolongs the pregnancy. The investigators propose to examine whether inpatient management results in comparable outcomes to outpatient management for women with short cervix.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of itacitinib in participants with post-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).
During adolescence, youth undergo rapid developmental change and in some cases experience increases in worries and fearfulness, although the mechanisms that underlie this change are unclear. Previous studies indicate that heightened Attentional Bias (AB) toward threat-related cues may increase fearfulness, and it may be possible to change AB using a computerized, Attention Bias Modification task (ABM). This study will recruit healthy youth with elevated anxious symptoms to index attentional tendencies toward threat-related stimuli using cutting-edge techniques, and to test the effect of a computerized attention training task in altering attention to threatening cues. The investigators will also examine the role of ABM in changing youth's attention-related resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC), a neural marker of at-rest cognition.
This is a prospective, single-center clinical study designed to facilitate the collection and evaluation of workflow efficiency, patient pain and function, and adverse event data. This clinical study will include Persona Total Knee components using the ROSA Total Knee Robotic System or conventional instrumentation.
For patients who have suffered a stroke, tongue strength may be decreased compared to healthy individuals. Research on strengthening the tongue in the stroke population has shown positive effects of a tongue resistance training protocol. Research also suggests that swallow safety, or protection of the airway, may be improved as a result of such interventions, however the mechanism of improvement remains poorly understood. This study aims to determine what aspects of the swallowing mechanism (response time, movement, etc. of different structures) are directly impacted in order to provide guidance to clinicians using such treatments.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the major pathological response (MPR) rate of canakinumab given as a neoadjuvant treatment, either as single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab, in addition to evaluate the MPR of pembrolizumab as a single agent and the dynamic of the tumor microenvironment changes on treatment.
