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 clinical trial will investigate the effect of brexpiprazole on the concept of life engagement in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with a current depressive episode.
This study observes the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics in patients with inoperable and/or metastatic melanoma following prior anti-PD-[L]-1 therapy
STEP (Supporting the Transition to and Engagement in Parenthood) is a manualized group intervention for pregnant women exposed to early life adversity designed to foster emotion regulation and reflective capacities in participants.
The study will recruit 60 young people who meet established criteria for being at clinical high risk for psychosis. They will be offered a range of psychological interventions starting with the most benign treatments in different steps. At step 1 they will be offered individual or group support and if there is no improvement they will be offered more intensive CBT individual therapy or CBSST group therapy. Assessments will occur at baseline, 6,12 and 18 months
This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of posterior multi-surface Class II amalgam (AM) and resin composite (RC) restorations placed by dental students over a five-year period.
The DISCORDANCE TAVR study will determine the discordance between echocardiography-derived and invasive transaortic gradients, as determined by a consistent and reproducible technique (Standardized Invasive Hemodynamics) post-TAVR.
Liver transplantation are surgeries associated with important bleeding and often require perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Overall, between 20 and 85 % of liver transplant recipients receive at least one RBC transfusion during their surgery. Such transfusions are consistently associated with higher morbidity and mortality, although this causal association is still under debate in many surgical populations. Despite the lack of clear causative association between perioperative transfusions and worse outcomes, minimizing bleeding and transfusions is believed to improve postoperative outcomes. Many perioperative variables are associated with higher blood loss and need for perioperative transfusions: liver disease severity, preoperative anemia and coagulopathy, higher cardiac filling pressures and higher fluid administration, among others. However, few perioperative interventions have been shown to reduce bleeding and transfusion requirements in this population. Among them, the use of intraoperative phlebotomies to reduce portal and hepatic venous pressure during the dissection phase is a promising one, also described in liver resection surgery. To further investigate the effects of intraoperative phlebotomies on intraoperative bleeding, perioperative transfusions and mortality, the Principal Investigator will conduct a retrospective cohort study with a propensity score based causal analysis.
The objective of the study is to investigate, in patients aged 70 years and over undergoing major non-cardiac surgery, the effect of electroencephalic (EEG)-guided anesthesia on postoperative neurocognitive disorders when controlling for intraoperative nociception, personalized blood pressure targets and using full information provided by the processed EEG monitor (including burst suppression ratio, density spectral array and raw EEG waveform). This prospective, randomized, controlled trial will be conducted in a single Canadian university hospital. Patients aged 70 years and over, undergoing elective major non-cardiac surgery will be included. The administration of sevoflurane will be adjusted to maintain a BIS value between 40 and 60, a suppression Ratio at 0%, a direct EEG display without any suppression time and a spectrogram with most of the EEG wave frequency within the alpha, theta and delta frequencies in the EEG-guided group. In the control group sevoflurane will be administered to achieve an age-adjusted minimum alveolar concentration of [0.8-1.2]. A nociception monitor will guide intraoperative opioids' infusion and individual blood pressure targets will be personalized in both groups. The primary endpoint is the incidence of neurocognitive disorder (NCD) at postoperative day 1 evaluated by the Montréal Cognitive Assessment. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorder at different timepoints and the evaluation of cognitive trajectories among EEG-guided and control groups.
This is a Phase 3 prospective, blinded, randomized, placebo controlled, international multicenter study. Subjects with STEMI will be enrolled in the ambulance if they meet all eligibility criteria. These subjects will be evaluated by (para)medics who transport the subjects to the participating hospitals in Europe and North America. Hospitals and ambulance services with experience in ambulance studies will be selected. Each subject will receive a single subcutaneous injection containing either zalunfiban Dose 1 (0.110 mg/kg) or zalunfiban Dose 2 (0.130 mg/kg) or placebo
In recent years, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been integrated with mindfulness meditation (CBT-M) following evidence for increased efficacy when modalities are combined. We will assess whether online group CBT-M plus standard psychiatric care is non-inferior in efficacy and more cost-effective than office-based, on-site group CBT-M (plus standard psychiatric care) per outcomes at post-intervention and at 6-month follow up in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). This non-inferiority randomized controlled trial will employ both assessor-blinded and self-report outcome measures and will include a full economic evaluation.
