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 main objective of the dose-escalation part of the trial is to determine the safety and tolerability, and to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose and/or the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of BI 754091 on the basis of patients with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with selected advanced solid malignancies. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by monitoring the occurrence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAE), and laboratory parameter abnormalities, as well as changes to vital signs. Secondary objectives are the determination of the PK profile of BI 754091 after single and multiple doses of BI 754091, and the preliminary assessment of antitumour activity. In the dose-expansion part of the trial, the main objectives are to further assess the safety, efficacy, PK profile, and biomarkers of BI 754091 in tumours with specific tumour types and/or genetic mutations at the RP2D.
Bovine colostrum is the milk produced by cows immediately after calving. It contains high levels of proteins that improve immune protection and may act to prevent colds. During intense training, athletes often have compromised immune function. This may be especially true in club-level rugby players who abruptly start high intensity training in the spring in preparation for their competitive season. Our study will assess the effects of supplementing these players with bovine colostrum during this intense training. Thirty-six players will be recruited; half will consume colostrum during the 8 weeks of early-season training and half soy protein. The investigators predict the bovine colostrum supplement will improve health during the training and increase fitness levels.
This Phase II, single-arm study is designed to evaluate the effect of atezolizumab treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. Participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 (reported here) will consist of participants who are treatment-naïve and ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Cohort 2 will contain participants who have progressed during or following a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. The results of the second cohort are reported separately (NCT02108652). Participants in both cohorts will be given a 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) dose of atezolizumab on Day 1 of 21-day cycles. Treatment of participants in Cohort 1 will continue until disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or unmanageable toxicity. Treatment of participants in Cohort 2 will continue until loss of clinical benefit or unmanageable toxicity.
This Phase IIb, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, international study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sildenafil or placebo added to pirfenidone (Esbriet) treatment in participants with advanced IPF and intermediate or high probability of Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH) who are on a stable dose of pirfenidone with demonstrated tolerability. Participants will be randomized to receive 1 year of treatment with either oral sildenafil or matching placebo while continuing to take pirfenidone.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA therapy (F508del/MF).
This is a multi-center, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 study in adults and adolescent subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether inhalation of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) twice daily for 48 weeks reduces structural lung disease as assessed by computed tomography (CT) in comparison with inhalation of 0.9% isotonic saline (IS) in preschool children (ages 3 to 6) with cystic fibrosis.
This study asks whether persons with lupus will use and uptake the information and services of the web-based lupus interactive navigator (LIN) on a regular basis and whether this uptake will be associated with better self-management, improved coping, higher sense of control over their life, and overall improved health. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an incurable chronic multi-organ inflammatory disease that affects preferentially young women. Unmet needs include a 15% excess in mortality, high morbidity and poor work outcomes. Despite prevalence of 1:2000, lupus is mostly unknown from the public and access to specialized care remains limited. Therefore, persons with lupus and their caregivers have difficulty finding high quality information relevant to their "lupus journey". The LIN research team consists of a lupus clinical expert and researcher, a clinical psychologist and behavioral researcher, and a health information specialist. This team, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), was responsible for the development of the LIN, a web-based navigator designed to promote self-care. The LIN is completed and the team will work with several stakeholders for dissemination: Lupus Canada, the Canadian Network for Improved Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (CaNIOS), the Arthritis Alliance of Canada, and lupus patient advisers. CaNIOS centres will be to randomized to immediate access to the LIN (LIN_NOW group) or usual care with crossover at 3 months (LIN_WAIT group). At baseline, all patients meeting entry criteria will be contacted, and asked to complete online questionnaires. At three months, a second online assessment will be performed before crossing over those from the centres randomized to usual care in order to now provide them with an access to the LIN. A final assessment will be performed at six months. Comparisons of baseline versus LIN exposure over three months will be performed in all patients at the end of the study; comparison of LIN use versus usual care will be done at three months; and retention of use at six months after LIN exposure will be documented in the first group randomized to LIN. The main outcome will be the Patient Activation Measure, a valid tool that measures the level of patient engagement. Secondary outcomes will include variables describing access and use of the LIN captured by the LIN server, coping, self-efficacy, and global health status.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial that investigates the effectiveness of digital picture frames (DPF) installed in inpatient rooms on long stay inpatient wards servicing schizophrenia clients at CAMH. The effects on client experience will consider the domains of self-concept, interactions with healthcare staff, perception of space, and implications for the recovery process. The comparison of inpatient client experience with DPFs versus a control group (Treatment as Usual - TAU), offers the opportunity to examine the effectiveness of this type of environmental adaptation. This trial builds upon earlier work that demonstrated the feasibility of DPFs in this context.
Children undergoing anesthesia are often very frightened by the experience. This can lead to bed wetting, nightmares and stranger anxiety that can last for weeks. Moreover, this can influence their future experiences with anesthesia and surgery. The investigators believe the presence of a parent via video might work better as parental fear is not transferred to the child. The investigators also believe that parents who are coached on how to assist their child during anesthesia will have a better impact. As such the investigators are carrying out this study to assess whether parents who are coached and are present in either video or physical form will be more effective in reducing anxiety at induction of anesthesia.
