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 evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the incidence of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Dyspnea is a common complaint in obese patients. The mechanisms behind this dyspnea and the effects of weight loss on dyspnea are not completely understood. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between exercise parameters and dyspnea in obesity and assess the effects of weight loss. The investigators compared pulmonary function, exercise performance and dyspnea in 34 patients with abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) against 34 age and sex-matched controls. The study also assessed within-group changes in physiology and symptoms in a subset of patients following participation in a weight management program. Because obesity is a heterogeneous condition, with variable genetic associations, co-morbidities and distributions of adipose tissue, the study focused on patients with abdominal obesity who met diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.
Danirixin (DNX) is a selective CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR2) antagonist being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of COPD. This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind (Sponsor Open) study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of danirixin compared with placebo in participants with COPD. Following baseline assessments collected over a 7 day period participants will be randomized (1:1:1:1:1:1) to receive one of five dose strengths of danirixin (5 milligram [mg], 10 mg, 25 mg, 35 mg and 50 mg) or placebo. Study treatment will be administered orally twice daily for 24 weeks. Participants will continue with their standard of care inhaled medications (i.e. long acting bronchodilators with or without inhaled corticosteroids) while receiving study treatment. Follow up will continue up to 28 days post last dose. Approximately 700 participants will be screened with a target of 540 participants completing 24 weeks of treatment and key study assessments.
COPD is characterized by an airflow limitation, which is not fully reversible, usually progressive and accompanied by chronic cough, sputum production and dyspnea, which can be a major cause of disability and anxiety associated with the disease. In addition, COPD is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pharmacologic therapy is used to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and also to improve health status and exercise tolerance. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, double dummy, 3-arm parallel group study to compare umeclidinium/vilanterol (62.5/25 microgram [mcg], once daily), umeclidinium (62.5 mcg, once daily), and salmeterol (50 mg, twice daily) in male and female subjects with COPD. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate improvements in lung function for subjects treated with UMEC/VI compared with UMEC for 24 weeks. Approximately 2424 subjects will be randomized across 3 parallel arms in 1:1:1 ratio. Subjects will be stratified based on long-acting bronchodilator usage during the run-in period (none, one or 2 long-acting bronchodilators per day). Subjects will receive either UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and placebo twice daily via DISKUS® DPI; or UMEC (62.5 mcg once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA DPI and placebo twice daily via DISKUS DPI or salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily [BID]) administered via the DISKUS DPI and placebo once daily via ELLIPTA DPI. The duration of the study will be 29 to 31 weeks including a pre-screening period of 2 weeks, run-in period of 4 weeks, treatment period of 24 weeks and follow-up period of 1 week. ELLIPTA and DISKUS are trademarks of GSK group of companies.
Exploratory, multi-center, randomised, investigator-blinded, vehicle controlled study using intra-individual comparison involving subjects with acne vulgaris on face to evaluate the efficacy of CD5024 1% cream over a 6-week treatment period compared to its vehicle.
This multicenter, open-label, parallel-arm, non-randomized study is designed to evaluate safety and tolerability of higher infusion parameters of IgPro20 in subjects with primary immunodeficiency (PID). A total of 45 subjects (including at least 14 [30%] pediatric subjects ≤ 17 years of age and at least 9 [20%] obese subjects with body mass index [BMI] of ≥30 kg/m2) with confirmed PID will be evaluated in the study. The study will include three cohorts of 15 subjects each as follows: i) Pump-Assisted Volume Cohort (weekly infusions), volume per injection site of 25 mL up to 50 mL, ii) Pump Assisted Flow Rate Cohort (weekly infusions), flow rate per injection site of 25 mL/hour up to 100 mL/hour, iii) Manual Push Flow Rate Cohort (2 to 7 infusions per week), flow rate per injection site of 25 to 30 mL/hour up to 120 mL/hour (equivalent of approximately 0.5 mL/minute up to 2 mL/minute). Each cohort will test 3 infusion parameter levels (4 for the pump-assisted flow rate cohort), repeated at least 4 times over a duration of 12 weeks (16 weeks for the flow rate cohort). After 4 infusion weeks at each level, qualifying subjects (responders) will switch to the next infusion parameter level (eg, from 25 to 50 mL/h). During the study, the weekly dose will remain unchanged (as prescribed by treating physician, usually within 100-200 mg/kg per week range); only the respective infusion parameter under evaluation will change.
This trial evaluates two standard of care treatments for opioid addiction: methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone. In order to improve patient care, the study will address real-world treatment conditions, including strict regulations for methadone dosing (i.e. initially dispensed daily at the pharmacy until stabilisation) vs. flexible take-home dosing for buprenorphine/naloxone. The OPTIMA study is designed with the intention to support patient-provider decision-making and evaluate health related outcomes with the overall aim of improving treatment outcomes through enhancing patient-centered approaches in clinical care.
The purpose of this feasibility study is to further explore characteristics of ablation targets identified by CARTOFINDER 4D LAT Algorithm in subjects with persistent atrial fibrillation and to assess the acute outcome of CARTOFINDER Guided Ablation in terms of the termination of atrial fibrillation to either Normal Sinus Rhythm or Atrial Tachycardia.
This single-centre historical control group comparative study will compare outcomes of surgically-treated rotational ankle fractures and the current routine practice of early protected weightbearing and range of motion with immediate unprotected weightbearing as tolerated and range of motion after ankle open reduction and internal fixation.
The primary objective of this study is to compare all-cause mortality at Day 14 in participants receiving cefiderocol with participants receiving the comparator, meropenem, in adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or healthcare-associated bacterial pneumonia (HCABP) caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
