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.
Open label first-in-human study of TH1902 in solid cancer, with 4 sequential parts: Part 1 (dose escalation): patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors (all comers) that have relapsed or are refractory to standard chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and for which no known effective therapies exist. Part 2 (expansion): selected patient populations with recurrent advanced TNBC, HR+ breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cutaneous melanoma, thyroid cancer, SCLC, prostate cancer and other cancers known to express SORT1 that are refractory to standard therapy. Part 3 (optimization): patients diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed high grade serous ovarian cancer, including high grade peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, or high grade endometrioid cancer, that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, should not be considered platinum sensitive, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit. Part 4 (basket expansion): selected cancer type diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed cancers, where TH1902 has been studied and/or showed activity (in Parts 1 to 3), that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit.
A single centre non-randomized, non-blinded phase III prospective cohort study of 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in specific patient populations: 1. Pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) with congenital hyperinsulinism. 2. Pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) with neuroblastoma. 3. Pediatric (less than 18 years old) or Adult patients (18 or older) with known or clinically suspected neuroendocrine tumor. 4. Adult patients (18 or older) with a clinical suspicion of Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia. 5. Pediatric (less than 18 years old) or Adult patients (18 or older) with brain tumors. Image optimization (the primary study objective) and gallbladder activity pattern (the secondary objective) will be evaluated.
This study is a multicenter, ambispective observational study that will collect data focusing on patients with lung cancers in Canada. The study will begin with ALK, EGFR, ROS1, ERBB2 (HER2), exon 20 EGFR mutation, MET and BRAF patients, with the goal of expanding into other rare molecular alterations within year 2
AlphaWave® L-theanine will be compared against placebo to evaluate how the investigational study product effects on salivary cortisol, EEG readings, blood pressure, and heart rate in a moderately stressed and otherwise healthy adult population. It is hypothesized that participants taking the AlphaWave® L-theanine will have reduced stress levels as assessed by the parameters stated. Participants will be consuming the investigational study product or placebo in the clinic only.
Study objectives: To determine whether, in critically ill patients with Acute Kidney Injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT), randomization to receive intravenous hyperoncotic albumin 20-25% (100 mL X two doses) compared to control/placebo normal saline boluses (100 mL X two doses) given during RRT sessions, leads to: 1. An increase in organ support-free days (primary outcome) at 28 days following randomization; and 2. An increase in RRT-free days (principal secondary outcome) at 28 days following randomization.
Endometrial cancer(EC) is the 4th most common cancer in women globally. Clinicians struggle to determine 'the best' treatment for endometrial cancers as they are very hard to tell apart under the microscope. Our BC team developed and validated a low-cost practical tool that can reliably distinguish ECs by molecular features. Molecular classification can inform women about the likelihood of their disease coming back as well as which treatments might work best for them or are not needed. Investigators are studying how this classifier can identify women at very low risk of disease recurrence in order to spare them toxic therapies.
Brachytherapy treatment in gynecological cancers is an essential component to delivering adequate doses of radiation to a tumour while sparing normal tissue. Interstitial or intra-cavitary brachytherapy are often needed in advanced or recurrent disease, in cases where intrauterine brachytherapy may not deliver the optimal outcome. Interstitial or intra-cavitary brachytherapy are based on a defined template-and-needle system, and the procedure relies on clinical examination and pre-treatment imaging to guide needle insertion. There is currently no standard image-guided process to help direct needles in the pelvis. We propose using 3D ultrasound to provide real-time imaging for the brachytherapy procedure, which will aid in avoiding needle insertion into pelvic organs and result in optimal dose coverage to the tumour.
Nearly a third of children with epilepsy are refractory to pharmacotherapy. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a highly effective alternative therapy reducing seizure frequency by 50% in more than half of treated children. The exact mechanisms of KD remain poorly understood, and recent studies have implicated the gut microbiota (GM). This pilot study aims to determine the feasibility of a 12-week dietary intervention with prebiotic fiber in children with epilepsy. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of inulin will alter gut microbiota and may have effects on seizure frequency.
Atrial fibrillation is common and increases the risk of stroke. Traditionally patients are treated with blood thinning medications or at the time of surgery the part of the heart where blood clots form is cut out. Surgically cutting out the left atrial appendage can be difficult and complications can occur. An alternative strategy is to create a tunnel to increase blood flow and wash out the part of the heart where clots form. This strategy has not been previously studied. The purpose of this study is to determine if creating a tunnel to increase blood flow is feasible and safe.
This study aims to find a new way to get individuals living with COPD to become and stay active during and after an exercise intervention. In this study, individuals living with COPD will participate in an online exercise intervention. The exercises included in this intervention are based in individuals' activities of daily living. Additionally, during this intervention, individuals with COPD will participate in peer support sessions and will be taught and encouraged to discuss eight behaviour change techniques that have been shown to help support increased participation in physical activity and/or exercise. The goal of this study is to test out this new protocol and determine if it is feasible to recreate on a larger scale and if it is acceptable for the COPD community.
