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 directly compare the endoscopic ultrasound guided approach to obtain adequate liver biopsies and portal pressure gradient measurements to the current standard of care which uses the transjugular approach.
This study is a prospective monocentric, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial to assess the efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan over placebo in improving exercise capacity and neurohormonal activation in adults with moderate to severe systemic RV dysfunction and NYHA class II or III symptoms.
This is an up to 22-week clinical study in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The purpose of the study is to test a new tablet (LEO 152020) to see if it improves AD and what the side effects are when compared with a placebo tablet with no medical ingredient. During the study, there will be a 16-week treatment period during which the participants will be asked to take the tablets. The participants will regularly visit the clinic for tests and the study doctor will evaluate their AD. The participants will also be asked to answer questions about their AD symptoms, itch, sleep, and quality of life.
The investigators will be comparing the effects of two different drug treatment strategies, in patients with history of a heart attack, on different markers of bleeding and clotting risk. Both treatment strategies are already approved for the indication of improving outcomes in high-risk patients with history of heart attack.
The primary objective is to compare pembrolizumab plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab to placebo plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab, with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by the investigator. The hypotheses are that pembrolizumab plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab is superior to placebo plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab, with respect to PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator for participants with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive tumors (Combined Positive Score [CPS] ≥1) and that pembrolizumab plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab is superior to placebo plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab, with respect to PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator for all participants.
Glioblastoma patients are confronted with a debilitating disease associated with a low survival rate and poor quality of life. The goal of this study will be to reach a largely underrepresented population in the exercise literature and explore the role of a tailored circuit-based resistance training program on functional fitness (i.e., ability to carry out tasks of daily living) and associated health outcomes (e.g., quality of life) for GBM patients on active treatment.
Current evidence on tapering of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is still hampered by heterogeneity in tapering regimens, selection and performance biases, and lack of data on optimized treatment dosing strategies especially in real-world clinical settings. This study aims to contribute to the ongoing investigation of disease-activity-guided tapering of TNFi in axSpA in the form of a prospective, randomized controlled trial.
Patients in rehabilitation may undergo periods of prolonged limb immobilization in response to injury, surgery, or illness. Due to disuse, the size and strength of muscles controlling the affected limb can decrease significantly, possibly resulting in physical impairment or lower quality of life during the recovery phase. Prior immobilization studies have shown that the rate and degree of decline in muscle strength exceeds that of muscle size, indicating that determinants of muscle strength unrelated to muscle size may further contribute to functional changes during immobilization. The purpose of this study is to describe the changes in muscle strength, muscle size, corticospinal excitability, voluntary activation, M1 cortical thickness, and resting state functional connectivity following a 2-week limb immobilization period in young women.
The PLAN-V Study is an Ontario-based prospective, longitudinal study that will consist of extensive biosampling and detailed data collection from pregnant women/individuals, who have received the COVID-19 vaccine during their pregnancy, and their infants across the antenatal, delivery and postpartum periods.
Cancer-related cognitive problems, also known as "brain fog", have a significant impact on patients with cancer and cancer survivors. Previous studies indicate that cancer and cancer treatments can negatively affect memory, attention and thinking abilities. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are individuals with a cancer diagnosis, who are currently between 18 to 40 years old. These individuals are especially vulnerable to brain fog symptoms due to the effect these symptoms have on their education, employment, health behaviors, mental health, and social relationships. There is a clear need for programming directed at brain fog symptoms among AYAs with cancer diagnoses. The 'Coping with Brain Fog' program, developed by Maximum Capacity Inc., is an eight-week group program that has been designed to educate patients about their brain fog symptoms and develop strategies to manage these symptoms. In this study the investigators will aim to determine the feasibility of adapting the 'Coping with Brain Fog' program to the virtual setting for AYAs with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will also aim to explore the efficacy of the program on cognitive functioning and symptoms of anxiety, depression and fatigue. This study is an important step towards finding ways to treat brain fog symptoms in cancer patients, and could help guide future studies and programs.
