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 this study is to evaluate the safety of a high (80mg/kg) and low (40mg/kg) dose of NS-065/NCNP-01 delivered as an intravenous infusion in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) amendable to exon 53 skipping. Additional objectives include tolerability, muscle function and strength, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
The purpose of this trial is to explore the clinical utility of two investigational antibodies in patients with advanced cancer or lymphomas. This is a multi-center, open-label Phase I/Ib study. The study consists of two dose escalation parts and two dose expansion parts testing GWN323 as a single agent or GWN323 in combination with PDR001. The dose escalation parts will estimate the MTD and/or RDE and test different dosing schedules. The dose expansion parts of the study will use the MTD/RDE determined in the dose escalation part to assess the activity, safety and tolerability of the investigational products in patients with specific types of cancer and lymphomas. Approximately 264 adult patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas will be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab taken monthly compared with subcutaneous placebo taken monthly on low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and high blood cholesterol on a maximally tolerated oral dose of statin of at least moderate-intensity.
The primary study aims are to determine the clinical, behavioural and social predictors of SMI development in youth, and to investigate whether neuroimaging can distinguish youth who will develop SMI from those who will not. The study's secondary aims are to examine the proportions of the cohort that make transitions between the different clinical stages of risk, and to determine the proportions that have poor outcomes, defined as ongoing or increased symptoms, secondary substance misuse, poor social or role functioning, i.e., non-participation in education, or employment, and new self-harm. Investigators will study a cohort of 240 youth (aged 14-25, male and female) that includes youth with early mood symptoms or sub-threshold psychotic symptoms (symptomatic group; n=160), youth at risk due to a family history of a SMI (family high risk (FHR); n=40), and healthy controls (HC; n=40). From this cohort, clinical, social and cognitive data, as well as imaging data will be gathered to create a multi-layered "snapshot" of these individuals and provide full-level characterization. Investigators will use the full range of clinical and imaging data generated from this cohort to develop novel prediction algorithms incorporating key variables that predict the development of SMI.
The aim of this research is to use a controlled laboratory setting to determine whether bacteria isolated from kidney stones of patients play a role in the formation of non-infectious kidney stones. It is well known that struvite stones are associated with active bacterial infection, however the role of bacteria in the formation of non-infection stones (like calcium oxalate) is not well characterized and there are theories that bacteria are involved in the making of these stones.
Among patients with a first episode of unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE), the contemporary one-year risk of detecting occult cancer is approximately 4% to 7%. Of these cases, 30% to 60% are missed by routine limited screening for cancer. RNA profiling of platelets is a promising, highly accurate biomarker for cancer detection, but its clinical utility in patients with unprovoked VTE is unknown. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of platelet RNA profiling in detecting occult cancer in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism. Secondary objectives include evaluation of other biomarkers for cancer, prediction of bleeding, and prediction of recurrent VTE.
Prospective interventional trial in lowlanders evaluating the effect of acute exposure, acclimatization and re-exposure to high altitude on global cognitive function.
Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis is a frequent problem in pediatrics. Complications of this are dehydration, pain and hospitalisation. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of oral Valacyclovir to decrease the duration of symptoms associated with acute herpes gingivostomatitis in children. This study will involve 80 children aged 1 to 8 years old to receive weight adjusted doses of valacyclovir for 7 days. The primary outcome measure will be the duration (in days) of feeding and/or drinking difficulties.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of brigatinib to that of crizotinib in ALK+ locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants naive to ALK inhibitors, as evidenced by progression-free survival (PFS).
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tumor-shrinking ability of experimental medication BMS-986178, when given by itself or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab, in participants with solid cancers that are advanced or have spread.
