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.
Syncope affects about 50% of Canadians, is the cause of 1-2% of emergency room visits, and probably is responsible for CDN $250 million in health care spending each year.There is no known medical treatment for frequent fainting. Two randomized studies suggest that inhibition of norepinephrine transport (NET) reuptake with sibutramine and reboxetine (NET inhibitors) prevents syncope on tilt testing by about 80%, and the investigators reported that sibutramine markedly reduced the frequency of vasovagal syncope in 7 of our most symptomatic patients. Sibutramine and reboxetine, for different reasons, are not available in Canada. However atomoxetine is available and is used to help patients with attention deficit disorder. There are no data pertaining to its hemodynamic effects in patients with vasovagal syncope. Although a randomized clinical trial of atomoxetine for the prevention of vasovagal syncope would be needed before clinical use, the investigators first need a proof of principle study. The objective is to determine in a prospective, randomized, parallel, double-blind study if atomoxetine 40 mg bid in patients at least 18 years old with recurrent vasovagal syncope will better prevent syncope during tilt testing than placebo.
Study to evaluate the effect of rovalpituzumab tesirine on cardiac ventricular repolarization in subjects with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a GanedenBC30, a probiotic bacteria (Bacillus coagulans strain GBI-30, 6086), on the gut microbiome in healthy adults. Subjects will complete a 2-week run-in period prior to receiving GanedenBC30. The study is open-label and subjects will act as their own controls as the microbiome is unique to individuals. During the run-in period, subjects will collect two stool samples and complete daily bowel habit diaries in order to understand usual habits and profile the microbiome for each subject. 30 subjects will take part in this research study conducted at Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc. Subjects will take GanedenBC30 for four weeks. Stool samples will be collected at the end of the study and daily bowel habit diaries maintained for the duration of the study.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with VX-371 with and without ivacaftor, and the effect of VX-371 with and without ivacaftor on quality of life (QOL) in subjects with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
The purpose of this study is to determine the fungicidal efficacy of nitric oxide releasing solution footbath and it's effect on the clinical signs and symptoms associated with Tinea Pedis
This 3-part study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an oral treatment, BCX7353, in preventing angioedema attacks in subjects with hereditary angioedema (HAE). In Part 1 of the study, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive oral BCX7353 or placebo for 4 weeks. Assuming successful completion of Part 1, additional subjects will be randomized in Part 2 to one of 2 lower doses of BCX7353 or placebo. Part 3 will enroll additional subjects into one of three doses of BCX7353 or placebo. The study will compare the number of acute attacks in each treatment group, as well as a number of other clinical and pharmacologic outcomes, and the safety and tolerability of each dose of BCX7353 compared to placebo.
The standard or usual treatment for this disease is treatment with drugs and other treatments that may help to make a patient better or may improve their quality of life. This treatment is known as "best supportive care" (BSC). Although patients with best supportive care can feel better for some months, the cancer usually continues to grow.
The main objective of this non-interventional, observational study is to analyze the rate and type of infection complications while performing closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) of hand fractures in the operating room versus an ambulatory setting. The investigators will do so by prospectively collecting data on the type of fracture, handedness, co-morbidities, duration of treatment, number and type of K-wires, duration of fixation and complication rate. Patients presenting with hand fractures to the emergency room will be recruited. Patients will be recruited in multiple centres across Canada and managed according to the institutional standard. The complication type and rate will be recorded and analyzed to determine a difference of performing the procedure in the operating room or clinical setting.
A study to evaluate the safety of Nivolumab given in combination with Ipilimumab in patients with advanced cancers. The initial group will enroll patients with newly diagnosed Stage 4 or non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.
Traditional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has enabled clinicians to measure disease activity but there are inherent limitations. Clinical/radiographic dissociation can be seen in some patients and the abnormalities are not specific. This pilot study is an opportunity to determine the relationship between quantitative advanced MRI measures and OCT with PET measurements of microglial activation and myelin health.
