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.
Participants with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders who are experiencing active symptoms of psychosis will randomized to either receive 6 months of individual cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis or to receive treatment as usual. Participants will be assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.
This study will investigate the efficacy of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and tumor antigen status and whose esophageal or esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer expresses the MAGE-A4 protein.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially harmful events occurring during childhood that have been associated with chronic physical conditions in adulthood, including coronary artery disease (CAD). ACEs may constitute a portion of the remaining unexplained residual risk for CAD in adults. Identifying a means of addressing these experiences may mitigate their health consequences and result in improved cardiovascular outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to determine if patients who undergo ACE screening experience improved quality of life compared to patients who undergo conventional lifestyle assessment. This will be a single-centre, pragmatic, single-blinded (i.e. data analysts), 1:1, pilot randomized control trial.
This study is open to adults with advanced solid tumors whose previous cancer treatment was not successful. People can participate if their tumor has the B7-H6 marker or if they have colorectal cancer. The study tests 2 medicines called BI 765049 and ezabenlimab (BI 754091). Both medicines may help the immune system fight cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 765049 alone and in combination with ezabenlimab the participants can tolerate. In this study, BI 765049 is given to people for the first time. Participants can stay in the study for up to 3 years, if they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they get BI 765049 alone or in combination with ezabenlimab as infusion into a vein every 3 weeks. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 765049 or ezabenlimab. The doctors also regularly monitor the size of the tumor.
The prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) among adolescents in North America is high, making it critical to develop evidence-based brief interventions for adolescents with SI that target healthy coping skills and relationships. BRAVA is a novel brief group intervention for adolescents with mild to moderate SI and their caregivers; youth are taught skills for coping and relating more effectively with others. Caregivers learn about adolescent development, effective parenting and the importance of connection. The goal of the randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of a virtually-delivered, brief group intervention for adolescents with mild to moderate SI and their caregivers in reducing SI.

This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of magrolimab in combination with dinutuximab in treating patients with neuroblastoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or relapsed osteosarcoma. Magrolimab and dinutuximab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The combination of magrolimab and dinutuximab may shrink or stabilize relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma or relapsed osteosarcoma. In addition, this trial may help researchers find out if it is safe to give magrolimab and dinutuximab after surgery to remove tumors from the lungs.
The feasibility of an online maintenance exercise program for cancer survivors supported by health coaching.
This study is open to adults with diabetic kidney disease. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 685509 improves kidney function. Three different doses of BI 685509 are tested in this study. Participants get either one of the three doses of BI 685509 or placebo. It is decided by chance who gets which BI 685509 dose and who gets placebo. Participants take BI 685509 or placebo as tablets 3 times a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 685509 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants continue taking their usual medicine for diabetes and kidney disease throughout the study. Participants are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 11 times. Where possible, about 6 of the 11 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The trial staff may also contact the participants by phone or video call. Kidney function is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the trial the results are compared between the different doses of BI 685509 and placebo. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
The Xen gelatin microstent (Allergan, CA, USA) is a 6mm hydrophobic, bleb-forming microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).1 Creation of a filtering bleb through the gel stent and under the conjunctiva lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by bypassing the natural outflow pathway of aqueous. Currently three Xen models have been developed: 45, 63, and 140 um internal lumen diameters.2 XEN45 ab interno gelatin stent was the first to be approved for clinical use in Canada.3 A recent retrospective cohort study showed comparable safety and risk of failure to trabeculectomy.4 Amongst the main advantages of this device is the ability to create a bleb without dissecting and disrupting tissue, thus decreasing the amount of wound healing and potentially limiting bleb failure. Recently, the XEN63 ab interno gelatin stent was approved by Health Canada for clinical use in Canada. Being a new device, to date, no study has examined the effect of XEN63 ab interno gelatin stent on anti-glaucoma drops burden and IOP. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the XEN63 ab interno gelatin stent to provide insights for ophthalmologists who will want to add this technique to their practice.
