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 randomized, double-blinded pilot study to determine whether patients undergoing ambulatory total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a subvastus approach benefit from the addition of a continuous adductor canal nerve block (cACB) catheter along with an existing multimodal approach to postoperative analgesia. Outcomes include the 15-item Quality of Recovery Scale (QoR-15) (Miles 2016), pain scores, opioid consumption, opioid-free days, functional outcome as measured by the Time Up and Go (TUG) test, patient satisfaction, patient's rating of catheter effectiveness, and complications.
This long-term extension study is an open-label, multiple-dose study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, efficacy and PD of vamorolone administered once daily by liquid oral suspension over a Treatment Period of 24 months to young boys with DMD who participated in the VBP15-002 Phase IIa and VBP15-003 Phase IIa extension core studies.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of iron therapy using intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), relative to placebo in the treatment of participants in heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency
This is a pragmatic, prospective, multi-center, randomized, active-control, single-blinded, non-inferiority phase 3 trial in adult cardiac surgical patients. Up to 12 Canadian hospitals will participate, and the trial will require up to 2 years for patient recruitment. Twelve-hundred bleeding adult cardiac surgical patients who require fibrinogen supplementation due to acquired hypofibrinogenemia after CPB will be included. Patients will be randomized to receive equivalent doses of either fibrinogen concentrate (Octafibrin) or cryoprecipitate when the blood bank receives the first order for fibrinogen supplementation and deems it to be in accordance with accepted clinical standards. Thereafter, patients will be treated according to their assigned group each time fibrinogen supplementation is ordered during the treatment period (24 hours after termination of CPB). No other aspects of care will be modified. The primary efficacy outcome will be the number of Allogeneic blood products (ABP) (red blood cells [RBCs], pooled or apheresis platelets, and plasma) administered during the first 24 hours after termination of CPB. Safety outcomes will be measured for the first 28 days after surgery, which is the duration of participation of each patient in the trial. Comparisons will be by intention-to-treat (ITT) (primary) and per-protocol (PP) analysis. One interim analysis will be conducted after 600 patients have been treated to determine whether the study should be terminated for safety reasons, demonstrated non-inferiority or futility reasons.
The main purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of enhanced GI-targeted nutrition education on dietary behaviour and intakes among adults with type 2 diabetes. Sixty-six eligible participants will be randomized into two equal groups using a pragmatic randomized controlled trial design.
There is a need to better understand the mechanisms underlying alcohol use and dependence in order to advance the clinical treatment of alcohol dependence. Here, the investigators will use Positron Emission Tomography to determine if there is an up-regulation of D3 receptors in the brains of subjects with alcohol use disorders. The investigators will also investigate the relationship between D3 binding and major phenotypes associated with alcohol use disorders, namely: alcohol cue induced craving and motivation to self-administer alcohol in the laboratory.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate safety, efficacy, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) for 12 weeks in adults on dialysis for end stage renal disease (ESRD) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of any genotype.
A Phase 3, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study of Voxelotor Administered Orally to Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and local tolerability of two different concentrations of of SCX-001 cream, as compared to placebo, when topically applied twice a day for 21 days to artificially induced dermal wounds in healthy volunteers. In addition, the absorption and elimination of profiles of this topically applied product will be determined through pharmacokinetic sampling. Assessments for effect of SCX-001 vs. placebo will be done but are considered exploratory.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.
