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 is conducted to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe. Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits. Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a rare, rapidly progressing, genetic, neurodegenerative disease for which no definitive treatment options and limited information on the natural history of the disease are available. The structural, genetic, and neuropathophysiological abnormalities of ALSP lead to the onset of neurologic symptoms, such as moderate to severe motor and neuropsychiatric impairments. This natural history study will collect data to contribute to the development of future novel therapies that focus on the neuropathophysiological features that underlie ALSP and that are essential to reverse, delay, or stop progression of this debilitating disorder.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of entospletinib (ENTO) compared to placebo when added to chemotherapy in previously untreated nucleophosmin-1 mutated (NPM1-m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as defined by the rate of molecularly defined measurable residual disease (MRD).
The objectives of our intervention are to 1. Ease the transition between cancer treatment and active life, and 2. Allow breast cancer survivors to take control of their lives. The primary objective of this study is to: 1) Determine whether individual life coaching (i.e., individualized guidance that helps to put resources into action) can significantly improve quality of life and post-traumatic growth among women who have been recently treated with breast cancer. It is hypothesized that: 1. Participants who receive both "group coaching sessions" and "individualized coaching sessions" will report greater post-traumatic growth and quality of life, and less fear of cancer recurrence when compared to the breast cancer survivors who received only the group coaching sessions or usual care. 2. Participants who receive only the group coaching sessions will report greater post-traumatic growth and quality of life, and lesser fear of cancer recurrence when compared to the participants who receive usual care.
Oral fluid based HIV Self-testing (HIVST) provides another innovative and simple option to increase opportunities for HIV testing. At-home testing for HIV using oral fluid has been FDA approved and in use in the USA since 2012, and studies have also shown that interest and acceptability of HIVST with oral fluid is high in other global settings. However data for oral fluid based HIVST within key populations and those at high risk for HIV infection in Canada is limited. This study involves around 900 persons who are non-healthcare professionals and inexperienced in HIV self-testing (intended users) and are presenting at clinic sites across Canada for HIV testing. It will evaluate the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity), usability (persons performs test correctly) and readability (persons successfully interpret test results) of the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test when performed by persons representing intended users living in Canada. A final report of study results will be provided to the Test manufacturer for inclusion in the Health Canada license application process.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody elranatamab, alone and/or in combination with the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, daratumumab, can provide more benefit to people with multiple myeloma compared to a combination therapy including daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. People with multiple myeloma who have received previous treatment including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor will be enrolled in the study. Part 1 of the study will assess the safety and activity of different doses of elranatamab in combination with daratumumab. People participating in Part 2 of the study will be randomly assigned to receive either elranatamab alone, elranatamab plus daratumumab, or daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. Part 2 will compare the safety and activity of (1) elranatamab alone compared to daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone, and (2) elranatamab plus daratumumab compared to daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. Participants in all parts of the study will receive study treatment until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to no longer participate in the study.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Ontario has confirmed more than 547,000 cases of COVID-19 since testing began. For many of these patients, symptoms resolve within 4 weeks of onset. However, it is becoming apparent that a significant number of individuals are experiencing symptoms that persist long after the acute infection, known as Long COVID. These individuals have a wide constellation of presenting symptoms, often varying from initial presentation. For this study, we will be enrolling individuals receiving care at The Ottawa Hospital for Long COVID. This study aims to determine the following four things: 1) will adding electronic case management improve quality of life three months after coming to hospital with Long COVID; 2) is the electronic case management platform cost effective; 3) is there any factors that predict outcomes at 3 months; 4) to determine how a personalized rehabilitation program supported by a digital platform could be implemented for individuals with Long COVID. We will enroll individuals from The Ottawa Hospital who will then be randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usual care plus electronic case management, through a platform called NexJ Connected Wellness. Participants will also complete questionnaires every 4 weeks for 3 months. We will be looking at quality of life, mental and physical health, cognitive symptoms, fatigue and pain.
This is a dose finding study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of danicopan in participants with GA secondary to AMD. The study consists of a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks, a 104-week masked Treatment Period, followed by a 30-day Follow-up after the last dose. This study will have 4 treatments arms: 100 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid), 200 mg bid, 400 mg once daily (qd), and matching placebo.
This was a parallel treatment, Phase 2, double-blind, 2-arm, placebo-controlled study with 2 staggered cohorts (2 arms in each cohort) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rilzabrutinib in adult participants (aged at least 18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD and intolerance or inadequate response to topical corticosteroids (TCS). The total study duration per participant was expected to be approximately 21 weeks, including up to 4 weeks of screening, 16 weeks of on-treatment double-blind period, 1 week of post-treatment follow-up.
Rebound pain is a well-recognized phenomenon after the effects of a nerve block wear off. Severe rebound pain can happen after outpatient surgery, with patients often needing to come back to the hospital or use other health care resources. People who are younger, female or have more pain before surgery are at higher risk of having rebound pain. Bone surgeries and upper limb surgeries also increase the chances of having rebound pain after surgery. Patients who have a tourniquet used during leg surgery often have worse pain after surgery compared to patients who get surgery without the use of a tourniquet. Things that may reduce the chances of getting rebound pain are the use of nerve block catheters, certain additives in nerve blocks and using multiple types of pain killers before the block wears off. Using nerve block catheters can be expensive, so a targeted approach of giving these catheters to patients who have the highest chances of getting rebound pain may be the best way to allocate resources and help patients. The aim of this study is to create and test a risk model for severe rebound pain after lower limb surgery where patients are getting a sciatic nerve block.
