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.
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin degludec (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will get their study medicine in an injection pen. Participants will get a pen for weekly injection and one for daily injection. One will be icodec or degludec and the other will be dummy medicine. The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants and the study staff will not know which active medicine they get. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh. The study could last for about 8 months. Participants will have 13 clinic visits and 17 phone calls with the study doctor. At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 4 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The aim of this study is to compare biomechanical walking parameters between patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis and healthy elderly.
The TILE pilot study will be a multicenter, open-label, assessor-blinded RCT (randomized control trial) comparing extended LMWH (Low Molecular Weight Heparin) vs. DOAC (Direct Oral Anticoagulants) to PTS (prevent post thrombotic syndrome) in patients with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
To evaluate and compare the plaque removal efficacy of a children's battery-powered toothbrush and a children's manual toothbrush following a single brushing.
A clinical trial of AAV5-hRKp.RPGR vector for participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP)
Study CA239-0006 is an open-label, randomized Phase 3 clinical trial comparing the efficacy of MRTX849 administered in combination with cetuximab versus chemotherapy in the second-line treatment setting in patients with CRC with KRAS G12C mutation.
Cryo-activation involves the insertion of a cryoprobe in the tumor bed with subsequent cell necrosis and tumor antigens release. Such technique has the potential to induce immune-specific reactions influencing cancer cells outside of the ablated region. The addition of cryo-activation to immune-checkpoint blockers (ICB) in the advanced NSCLC setting could represent a synergistic therapeutic avenue in order to potentiate treatment responses
In 2016, it was estimated that nearly 1 billion people worldwide were affected by a mental or addictive disorder, and were associated with considerable excess mortality. Acute heat therapy sessions (e.g. whole-body heating or foot immersions) have been shown to improve symptoms in individuals diagnosed with common mental health illness such as major depressive disorders and reduce anxiety. This study will assess the impact of an at-home 8-week lower-limb immersion in hot water on symptom severity in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD.
This study will investigate the impact of a brief telephone follow-up following a mental health assessment in the emergency department. The purpose of the telephone call will be to provide psycho-education, clarify any questions and reinforce discharge planning.
Intravenous vancomycin is considered first line therapy for serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections including bacteremia, central nervous system infection, pneumonia, pleural space infection, bone or joint infection, prosthetic joint infection and deep abscesses. The effectiveness and toxicity of vancomycin depend on its dosing and chosen target. The most recent guidelines suggest targeting area under the curve over 24 hours over minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC/MIC) of 400 to 600. Implementation of AUC/MIC requires Bayesian software that can be variable, costly, complicated and time consuming. Ideally, AUC/MIC dosing would also require susceptibility testing by broth microdilution, which is not commonly done. It is recommended to target AUC of 400 to 600 assuming a MIC of 1ug/mL when MIC by broth microdilution is not known. Targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L may be a reasonable and more practical alternative without compromising effectiveness. We will be conducting a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial to compare intravenous vancomycin dosing strategy targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L versus AUC of 400 to 600 assuming a MIC of 1ug/mL by broth microdilution for serious MRSA infections. The primary outcome will be treatment failure, which is a composite of mortality and microbiologic failure at 90 days. We hypothesize that targeting a trough level of 10 to 15mg/L is non-inferior to targeting a AUC of 400 to 600 in terms of treatment failure. The criterion for non-inferiority is that a two-sided 95% confidence interval for difference in risk of treatment failure will lie within the non-inferiority margin of 10%.
