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 is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This is a one-armed observational study and feasibility trial of a remote electronically-delivered integrated care pathway for the treatment of adolescents. Eligible participants are between the ages of 13 and 18, inclusive, who have a primary diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Outcomes of interest are recruitment rates and participation in pathway components, including: appointments, measure-completion and use of electronically-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy.
PQ-421a-002 (Helia) is an open-label, extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of QR 421a (ultevursen) administered via intravitreal (IVT) injection in one or both eyes, in subjects ≥ 12 years of age with RP due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene, for an anticipated period of 24 months, or until provision of continued treatment by other means is available, provided the subject's benefit-risk determination remains positive.
The main purpose of this pilot project is to measure the feasibility of conducting a randomized crossover study examining short-term changes in atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms in symptomatic females and males with paroxysmal or persistent AF when they engage in a standard week of exercise (i.e. moderate-intensity continuous training [MICT] or high-intensity interval training [HIIT]) compared to a control week (i.e. no moderate to vigorous exercise over 7 days).
The primary aim of this study is to document the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention consisting of pain neuroscience education and reconsolidation therapy with propranolol in adults suffering from chronic pain (chronic low back pain or fibromyalgia). The secondary aim of the study is to estimate the effect size of the intervention on pain and function one month post-intervention, and to obtain data for sample-size calculation for a subsequent randomized controlled trial.
Efficacy of a nutritional ketogenic supplement (NKS) in reducing the number, intensity, and duration of migraine headaches in episodic migraine patients.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mRNA 1647 vaccine in CMV-seronegative female participants and to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1647 vaccine in all participants. The purpose of the Phase 3 extension sub study is to extend the observation period of the main study and to evaluate the longer-term immune persistence of mRNA-1647 vaccine administered to CMV-seronegative females who complete mRNA-1647-P301 main study and to assess for CMV seroconversion in CMV-seronegative participants who did not seroconvert during mRNA-1647-P301 main study. No interventional vaccine will be administered in the extension study.
The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has affected over 2.4 million individuals worldwide and has resulted in >171,000 deaths. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important contributor to death in these patients. Those who develop cardiac injury during infection have a 4-fold increased risk of death. Furthermore, pre-existing CVD or cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) are associated with worse outcomes. Given the recent emergence of this disease, there is limited understanding of: (i) the risk factors for cardiovascular events, (ii) blood biomarkers for early recognition, and drug targeting, of patients at risk of adverse outcomes, and (iii) the short term subclinical and clinical cardiovascular manifestations in those who survive to discharge.
This is a quality improvement initiative with the goal of optimizing heart failure (HF) patients seen through the outpatient cardiac implantable electronic device clinic at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI). The UOHI device clinic oversees more than 12,000 in-clinic patient visits annually with over 5000 visits for patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and HF. In patients with reduced EF, guideline directed medical therapy compliance (GDMT) is sub-optimal in real world clinical practice. Considering the most recent changes to The Canadian Cardiovascular Society heart failure guideline recommendations, the compliance rate may be even lower than reported rates in the literature. The goal of this study is to optimize GDMT through collaboration between the HF clinic, a HF/arrhythmia nurse practitioner, and application of a nurse run algorithm based pathway to identify patients suitable for medication optimization and guiding the most responsible physician (MRP) for their heart failure (PCP, cardiologist or HF physician) through a letter. The compliance rate will also be re-evaluated to assess improvement in GDMT in this patient population. GDMT will ensure the greatest chance to improve patient outcomes by reducing heart failure hospitalizations, emergency room visits, ventricular arrhythmias, implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks, clinic visits, and thereby improving patients' quality of life.
Elderly people who have multiple health problems are at higher risk of illness from viral respiratory infections, such as influenza (the flu) and COVID-19. This is especially true for residents in long-term care because the usual methods of infection control (handwashing, mask-wearing, and distancing) are difficult to enforce due to the memory problems of many residents and the frequently shared common spaces. It can also be difficult to prevent the spread of viral infections within long-term care because many residents are unable to tell their caregivers when they are feeling ill. Also, some elderly people do not show typical symptoms of infection (like fever), instead they may suddenly become confused or weak. This study will test if a safe form of ultraviolet light (far-UVC) can be effective as an extra method of disinfection (in addition to usual manual cleaning) against airborne and surface viruses that can cause respiratory infections.
