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 a randomized single blinded prospective clinical trial comparing the surgical outcomes of four different acellular dermal matrixes (ADMs) after primary breast reconstruction. ADMs are used in conjunction with tissue expanders or breast implants to reinforce the recreated breast pocket. Currently, 4 different ADMS are commercially available: AlloDerm, DermaCell, Allomax and Flex HD. It is unclear which ADM is clinically superior. The objective of the study is to compare the complications and post-op care of 4 different ADMs within a 2 year follow up to elucidate their surgical outcomes.
COVEPICARDIO trial is designed to document the effects of remote monitoring of physical exercise and home-based cognitive training on cognitive and physical functions in older adults with cardiovascular diseases.
The purpose of the DATE study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability and a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of a dyadic health behaviour change intervention to improve healthy eating, physical activity, and dyadic coping among older obese couples. This novel intervention will use a dyadic adaptation of common health behaviour change strategies and will promote a dyadic coping approach to health behaviour change that emphasize partners' interdependence and shared responsibility for the creation of a home environment conducive to a healthy lifestyle. For this project 35 obese older adults cohabiting dyads will be randomized to either the couples-based dyadic health behaviour change intervention or a couples-based nutrition counselling control condition.
This multicenter, single-arm, open-label study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of satralizumab in participants with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who completed open-label extension (OLE) period of studies BN40898 and BN40900. Participants will receive satralizumab as monotherapy or in combination with one of the following background immunosuppressive treatments: azathioprine (AZA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), or oral corticosteroids.
This is a global Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant treatment with atezolizumab compared with placebo in participants with MIBC who are ctDNA positive and are at high risk for recurrence following cystectomy.
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) to compare retinal vasculature after uncomplicated cataract surgery in patients with and without diabetic retinopathy.
This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
Parts 1 and 2 The primary purpose of this study is to understand the safety of NL-201 when given intravenously as monotherapy in patients with advanced cancer to evaluate tolerability and to identify a recommended dose and schedule for further testing. In Part 1, there will be backfill cohorts at certain Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)-cleared dose levels and schedules to collect pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and response data in certain tumor types or to explore additional pre-medication regimens. Parts 3 and 4 The primary purpose of this study is to understand the safety of NL-201 in combination with pembrolizumab when both drugs are given intravenously in patients with advanced cancer, to evaluate tolerability, and to identify a recommended dose and schedule for further testing.
Chronic pulmonary disease like interstitial lung disease (ILD) and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) are a significant health problem in Canada and around the world. In addition to the respiratory impairment resulting to a progressive dyspnea, these diseases are also characterized by a decrease in exercise tolerance and muscle dysfunction which affect the patient's quality of life. Respiratory rehabilitation is the cornerstone of the management of chronic disease and it includes a set of personalized care mainly delivered in person by a transdisciplinary team and with the objectives of reducing the symptoms felt by the participants and improving their physical and psychosocial condition. The current containment due to the COVID-19 pandemic increase the sedentary behavior of patients and prevents the holding of any respiratory rehabilitation activity. In this context, tele-rehabilitation appears to be a particularly well-suited solution because it would make it possible to offer a respiratory rehabilitation in a safe and effective manner while minimizing contact with the participants. Although some studies support the feasibility of this intervention, more data is needed to validate its routine clinical application. The main objective of this study is to verify the safety and the feasibility of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation treatments entirely at home via a telerehabilitation patform developed at the Institut universitraire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ), and document its effectiveness in people with chronic respiratory disease. The secondary objectives will be: 1) to explore the effects of a telerehabilitation programm on exercise tolerance, muscle function, functional capacity and quality of life, and 2) to assess the satisfaction of participants and health care providers with telerehabilitation.
The purpose of study is to compare bladder intact-event free survival (BI-EFS) in participants receiving TAR-200 in combination with intravenous (IV) cetrelimab versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
