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.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of CAM2029 to octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG in patients with advanced, well-differentiated GEP-NET. Patients who experience progressive disease in the randomized part of the study may proceed to an open-label extension part with intensified treatment with CAM2029.
The aim of the study is to show that rapid, simple targeted radiotherapy to brain metastases with 8 Gy / 1 is non-inferior to 20 Gy / 5 in terms of overall survival for patients with poor prognosis.
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the combination of high-dose cisplatin every three weeks and radiation therapy versus low-dose cisplatin weekly and radiation therapy for the treatment of patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This study is being done to find out if low-dose cisplatin given weekly together with radiation therapy is the same or better than high-dose cisplatin given every 3 weeks together with radiation therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer.
This phase III trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide intensification (for higher Decipher gene risk) or de-intensification (for low Decipher gene risk) of treatment to better match therapies to an individual patient's cancer aggressiveness. The Decipher risk score evaluates a prostate cancer tumor for its potential for spreading. In patients with low risk scores, this trial compares radiation therapy alone to the usual treatment of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or particles to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgen deprivation therapy blocks the production or interferes with the action of male sex hormones such as testosterone, which plays a role in prostate cancer development. Giving radiation treatment alone may be the same as the usual approach in controlling the cancer and preventing it from spreading, while avoiding the side effects associated with hormonal therapy. In patients with higher Decipher gene risk, this trial compares the addition of darolutamide to usual treatment radiation therapy and hormone therapy, to usual treatment. Darolutamide blocks the actions of the androgens (e.g. testosterone) in the tumor cells and in the body. The addition of darolutamide to the usual treatment may better control the cancer and prevent it from spreading.
DELTA-1 is a phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ITIL-168 in adult subjects with advanced melanoma who have previously been treated with a PD-1 inhibitor. ITIL-168 is a cell therapy derived from a patient's own tumor-infiltrating immune cells (lymphocytes; TILs).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence with guselkumab and interleukin-17 inhibitor (IL-17i) initiated at enrollment into this study (PsABIOnd).
This study will evaluate the response of itraconazole and terbinafine therapy compared to placebo in patients with mild to moderate Crohn's disease (CD).
DESTINY-Lung04 will investigate the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) versus Standard of Care (SoC) as first-line treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with HER2 Exon 19 or 20 mutations
A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate vortioxetine, an antidepressant with established pro-cognitive properties, for the treatment of cognitive deficits which develop during or after an infection consistent with COVID-19, continue for 2+ months, and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis (i.e., post-COVID-19 condition). Participants (aged 18-64 years) will receive vortioxetine (10-20 mg) or placebo for 8 weeks. Participants 65+ years will receive vortioxetine (5-10 mg) or placebo for 8 weeks. Changes in cognitive functioning from baseline to endpoint (week 8) will be assessed via the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Study visits may be conducted remotely (e.g. via Zoom, by telephone), and/or in-person.
Frail older adults are commonly prescribed blood pressure medication, yet it is unclear if blood pressure medication is actually beneficial for them. Observational studies in this population suggest blood pressure medication has limited benefit and may even be harmful, including an increased risk for falls and cognitive impairment. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm this. This study is a randomized controlled trial of blood pressure medication deprescribing, amongst long-term care residents with systolic blood pressure lower than 135 mmHg. In the intervention group, with physician consent, the facility pharmacist or nurse practitioner will continually reduce antihypertensives provided an upper systolic threshold of 145 mmHg is not exceeded. The control group will receive usual care. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality but the study will also be tracking all-cause hospitalization or emergency room visits, hip fractures, falls, skin ulceration, renal insufficiency, cognitive and behavioural outcomes and costs of care. The hypothesis is that avoiding unnecessarily low systolic blood pressure is beneficial in a frail, end-of-life population.
