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 is being conducted to provide data on efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK of PF-07038124 ointment versus vehicle control in the treatment of mild to moderate AD and mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
177Lu PSMA 617 is a new type of therapy which is designed to deliver high doses of radiation directly to prostate cancer sites in the body. The purpose of this study is to find out whether 177Lu PSMA 617can slow the growth of prostate cancer compared to standard chemotherapy treatment
Sufficient muscle strength helps to get out of a chair and can prevent falls. Up to 30% of older adults experience age-related loss of muscle strength, which can lead to frailty and health instability. Exercise helps to build muscle, maintain bone density and prevent chronic disease, especially during the aging process. However, more than 75% of Canadian adults ≥18 years of age are not meeting physical activity guidelines. In addition, it is known that malnutrition, including low protein intake, may lead to poor physical function. While there are services to support exercise and nutrition, barriers to implementing them persist. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the potential for physical inactivity, malnutrition, and loneliness among older adults, especially those with pre-existing health or mobility impairments. Now and in future, alternate ways to promote exercise and proper nutrition to the most vulnerable are needed. The investigators propose to adapt MoveStrong, an 8-week education program combining functional and balance training with strategies to increase protein intake. The program was co-developed with patient advocates, Osteoporosis Canada, the YMCA, Community Support Connections and others. MoveStrong was delivered by telephone or web conference to older adults in their homes, using mailed program instructions, 1-on-1 training sessions through Physitrack®, as well as online nutrition Q&A sessions and group discussion sessions over Microsoft® Teams. The primary aim of this study was to assess feasibility and acceptability of a remote model as determined by recruitment (≥ 25 people in 3 months), retention (≥80%), adherence of (70%) and participant experience.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn more about the use of the study medicine, volixibat, for the treatment of pruritus (itching) associated with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), and to assess the possible impact on the disease progression of PSC.
RAZORBILL was an observational, multicenter, multinational, open-label, study designed primarily to investigate the influence of automated OCT image enrichment with segmentation information on disease activity assessment in nAMD patients treated with licensed anti-VEGFs
This is a three-arm prospective double-blinded randomized comparative trial aimed at comparing results regarding knee pain improvement in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee awaiting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by either a sham procedure, a geniculate artery embolization procedure or a geniculate nerve ablation procedure. Experienced interventional radiologists and anesthetists at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and study affiliated centers will carry out all interventions. 72 consecutive subjects meeting the eligibility criteria, considered for knee replacement in the future. Patients will be randomized to receive either the embolization procedure, the nerve ablation procedure or a sham procedure. Monitoring of pain will be recorded using visual analog scales, pain medication use, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and osteoarthritis knee and hip quality of life questionnaire (OAKHQOL) questionnaires over a period of 1 year post-treatment or up to the time of surgery. Pain and recovery post surgery will be monitored as well in patients who do get the Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) before the 1 year mark.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal cancer. The primary study hypotheses are that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone for both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR), in participants with programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1 and in all participants.
This is a study for participants with a type of blood cancer called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The main purpose is to compare pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) to other drugs that work in a similar way that have already been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Participation could last up to two years, and possibly longer, if the disease does not progress.
Every year, thousands of Canadians receive life-saving, cost-effective organ transplants, while thousands more still wait or die because not enough organs are available. Patients with non-recoverable illnesses, who are undergoing withdrawal of life sustaining measures, can donate their organs when they die by a process called donation after circulatory determined death (DCD). However, over 30% of all DCD attempts are unsuccessful because patients do not die within the time frame required for healthy organ retrieval and prolonged exposure to low oxygen during the dying process renders organs unsuitable for transplantation. Predicting successful DCD is difficult and leads to uncertainty in the clinical community. To address this issue, the investigators have developed a clinical decision support tool called Donation Advisor (DA) that will assist the healthcare team in identifying successful DCD donors and will provide an improved assessment of the health of their organs. The investigators are ready to implement DA and evaluate its impact in 7 hospitals in Ontario. The investigators believe use of DA will reduce unsuccessful DCD attempts, enhance family experience of donation, optimize system costs, and improve transplant outcomes
The NeuroCatch Platform™ version 2.0 (NCP2.0), an investigational medical device system developed by NeuroCatch Inc., consists of software and hardware that captures brain health information. The platform intends to provide a quick, portable and easy to use solution for the acquisition, display, analysis, storage, reporting and management of electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP; brain response to a stimulus) information. The purpose of the study is to understand how reliable and repeatable the ERP metrics elicited by the NCP platform are within participants over multiple sessions.
