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 overarching objective is to evaluate the relationship between diet and coronary artery calcification in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). We will recruit adults with HeFH. They will have to complete questionnaires on diet, medication and lifestyle. Coronary artery calcification will be measured in each patient using a CT scan. Physiological and biochemical data will be collected.
Laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries are generally very well tolerated procedures, and patients are able to go home on the same day, with a prescription for pain control. There is currently a very wide range of prescription practice within the gynecology community in regards to opioids following surgery, and patients are going home with anything from zero to 5 or even 20 tabs of narcotics. Aside from negative side effect of opioids (like nausea/vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and possibly addiction), unnecessary opioid prescriptions and excess unused narcotics is one of the major contributors to narcotic abuse in the community, worsening an ongoing nationwide opioid crisis. Although most patients report low pain level following these kinds of procedure, there are no current standard prescriptions after gynecologic laparoscopy. In an effort to standardize discharge prescriptions following gynecologic laparoscopy, this study aims to find an optimal regimen for pain control in the post-operative period following laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. There will be 2 standardized set of discharge prescriptions to which patient will be randomized; both containing multimodal medications for pain control. Pain control, and patients satisfaction will be measured in the first post-operative week.
To assess the effect of FDY-5301 on cardiovascular mortality and acute heart failure events in subjects with an anterior STEMI undergoing pPCI.
Depression and anxiety that occur around the time of pregnancy can adversely impact a person's health and well-being, and their child's health and development. Fewer than 20% of affected people are adequately treated, often because of under-use of medications. Measurement based care (MBC) is a model of care where psychiatric symptoms are routinely tracked and reviewed together by a patient and their doctor to better manage symptoms. It has not been systematically evaluated for perinatal depression and anxiety. The overall objective of this study is to test the feasibility of MBC in this population to inform a future large randomized controlled trial for definitive evaluation. In order to avoid known barriers to MBC, electronic MBC (eMBC) will be used. With eMBC, patients can enter their symptoms into their electronic medical records before their appointment so that they can be evaluated by their doctor during the appointment. In this pilot study, the feasibility of recruitment for a future efficacy trial, including feasibility of recruitment, and retention, acceptability and adherence to a trial protocol will be evaluated.
This is a multicenter, multinational long-term follow-up study to assess the long-term safety and durability of effect of AVR-RD-02 treatment in subjects who previously received AVR-RD-02 treatment (single dose administration).
This is a phase I dose-escalation study of oral PCLX-001, conducted in a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, non-controlled design. The study is comprised of two parts: Part A (single-agent dose escalation) and Part B (single-agent expansion cohorts).
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of belvarafenib as a single agent and in combination with either cobimetinib or cobimetinib plus nivolumab in patients with NRAS-mutant advanced melanoma who have received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) who have relapsed or are refractory or intolerant to a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). This study is a global, open label Phase 1b/2 to determine the efficacy and safety of KRT-232 in patients with chronic phase CML (CML-CP) and accelerated phase (CML-AP) who have failed TKI treatments.
The OPTIMIZE Trial compares whether iDose dashboard-driven infliximab dosing (iDose-driven dosing) is more effective and safer than standard infliximab dosing for inducing and maintaining disease remission in inflammatory bowel disease.
Cystic Fibrosis is the most prevalent fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and it primarily characterized by a thickening of pulmonary secretions and impaired mucociliary clearance. Chest physiotherapy has been widely used as a standard treatment for sputum mobilization and clearance for individuals with CF. Percussion is one such technique of chest physiotherapy for loosening trapped music within the lungs and can be completed manually or facilitated with a percussion cup. Unfortunately, the exclusive Canadian supplier for the widely use percussor cup has stopped distributing the cups, leaving many hospitals and therapy clinics searching for alternatives to continue airway clearance treatment. The goal of this project is to compare alternative palm cup solutions to the standard, and recommend safe alternative(s) that caregivers can have easy access to.
