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 is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study with BID (suspension) and TID (tablet) oral dose of tazemetostat. Subjects will be screened for eligibility within 14 days of the planned first dose of tazemetostat. A treatment cycle will be 28 days. Response assessment will be evaluated after 8 weeks of treatment and subsequently every 8 weeks while on study. The study has two parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion. Dose escalation for subjects with the following relapsed/refractory malignancies: - Rhabdoid tumors: - Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) - Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) - Rhabdoid tumor of kidney (RTK) - Selected tumors with rhabdoid features - INI1-negative tumors: - Epithelioid sarcoma - Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor - Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma - Myoepithelial carcinoma - Renal medullary carcinoma - Other INI1-negative malignant tumors (e.g., dedifferentiated chordoma) (with Sponsor approval) - Synovial Sarcoma with a SS18-SSX rearrangement Dose Escalation cohorts are closed to enrollment. Dose Expansion at the MTD or the RP2D - Cohort 1 - ATRT (closed to enrollment) - Cohort 2 - MRT/RTK/selected tumors with rhabdoid features (closed to enrollment) - Cohort 3 - INI-negative tumors: - Epithelioid sarcoma - Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor - Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma - Myoepithelial carcinoma - Renal medullary carcinoma - Chordoma (poorly differentiated or de-differentiated) - Other INI1-negative malignant tumors (e.g., dedifferentiated chordoma) with Sponsor approval - Cohort 4 - Tumor types eligible for Cohorts 1 through 3 or synovial sarcoma with SS18-SSX rearrangement (closed to enrollment)
Chronic pain in adolescents and young adults (AYA, aged 15-25) is a common problem. Pain that is not treated properly can reduce quality of life. Programs to help AYA learn to live with and manage pain are very important. Our team is developing a smartphone application (app) and website for AYA with chronic pain. The app will help AYA to track pain, sleep, mood, activities, and exercise and help AYA set and achieve goals. The website will give information about pain and how to manage it independently. We will build the program and make sure it is easy to use and understand. We will also test if the program can be put into practice as planned and if AYA using the program feel less pain, have less limitations, and a better quality of life.
This is a phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to explore the efficacy and safety of oral GED- 0301 in subjects with active UC, defined as a modified Mayo score (MMS) ≥ 4 and ≤ 9 and a Mayo endoscopic subscore≥ 2. Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled using an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) or an Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) to receive open-label, oral GED-0301 160 mg for duration of 52 week treatment. Enrollment of subjects with previous exposure to TNF-α blockers will be limited to approximately 15 subjects. The number of subjects with extensive colitis is targeted to comprise approximately 50% of the entire study population.
Recent evidence suggests that patients with inactive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) may develop the same types of liver complications that patients in the active state of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection experience. Treatment guidelines for patients in the active state of HBV infection indicate that HBsAg clearance is associated with definitive remission of the activity of chronic HBV & improved long-term outcome. Clinical data showed that HBsAg clearance is achievable, in a small population of patients on continuous treatment with potent oral antivirals (OAVs), such as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). It is possible the same OAVs can have the same effect in patients with inactive CHB, but in a shorter treatment duration. The purpose of this study is to find out if TDF is effective in controlling HBV DNA & promoting seroconversion from HBsAg-positive to HBsAb-positive in patients with inactive CHB.
With exposure to high altitude some individuals will develop acute mountain sickness (AMS). Current evaluation of AMS can make it difficult to rule out other possible conditions. Evaluation of ataxia, as measured by the performance of a coordinated task, can aide in the correct diagnosis of AMS. The investigators have developed novel finger-tapping tasks on a mobile device to assess both reaction time and accuracy. The proposed research will evaluate the utility of this tool in assessing human acclimatization to hypoxia.
This study is designed as a phase-II proof of concept trial to investigate if a treatment strategy where stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is given with pembrolizumab is sufficiently active to warrant further investigation in randomized phase II or III studies. Metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients with PD-1 expressing immune cells are more likely to have larger more aggressive tumours and reduced survival and renal tumours that express PD-L1 are more aggressive with poorer outcome. Blocking this receptor/ligand interaction with monoclonal antibodies can restore the activity of tumour specific T-cells within the tumour with durable responses documented in early clinical trials in several tumour types including renal cell carcinoma. The study drug pembrolizumab is designed to directly block the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. SBRT will be given to the 1-3 most clinically significant lesions at the time of progression on pembrolizumab or at the 2nd course of pembrolizumab treatment in an effort to improve the activity of pembrolizumab. A total of 35 patients refractory to the approved first line therapy with a targeted drug (Sunitinib or Pazopanib) or untreated RCC patients with sarcomatoid differentiation will be enrolled on study. This group of patient has a poor outcome on any other 2nd line therapy and urgently need novel therapy.
Randomized, open-label, 3-way reference replicated crossover bioequivalence study of sorafenib 200 mg tablet and nexavar (reference) following a 200 mg dose in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tumor-shrinking ability of experimental medication BMS-986156, when given by itself or in combination with nivolumab in patients with solid cancers that are advanced or cancers that have spread.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety on sauna followed by cold water bath, a common practice in many countries, 30 healthy subjects aged 40 years and older will be at the Montreal Heart Institute Prevention and Cardiac Rehabilitation centre.
This clinical study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination treatment of nintedanib and pirfenidone in participants with IPF. Eligible participants must have received pirfenidone for at least 16 weeks on a stable dose. Nintedanib will be added on Day 1 of the study as a combination treatment for IPF for 24 weeks.
