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 prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical study following patients to 1 year, to evaluate the safety and performance of the Centauri system for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The study will include adult patients (age 18-75 years) who are indicated for a first-time catheter ablation of AF where the pre-procedure treatment plan contemplates pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF), and PVI - with or without additional left atrial ablations - in patients with Persistent AF (PeAF) of short duration (< 1 year).
This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
Delirium is a condition of fluctuating confusion and agitation that affects as many as 80% of patients in critical care. Hyperactive delirium consumes a significant amount of clinical attention and resources due to the associated psychomotor agitation. Patients can become aggressive or combative putting both themselves and healthcare workers at risk of harm. Delirium has been linked to an increased risk of death and poor overall outcomes. Management largely relies on the use of potentially toxic medications and physical restraints despite limited proof of success of these interventions. Our research group will study the use of a novel interactive digital therapeutic behavior modification platform aimed at reducing anxiety and agitation associated with hyperactive delirium. We hypothesize that Use of the Mindful Garden behavioral modification platform will result in normalization of agitation and delirium scores when used for the management of delirium associated agitation in the adult delirious acute care population compared to standard care alone.
This study is to assess the onset of action of fixed drug combination of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray (Dymista) in treating the nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) induced by an allergen challenge in an Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU).
The main goal of this study is to evaluate real-world visual outcomes, rotational stability, and patient reported visual disturbances with a non-diffractive extended vision presbyopia and astigmatism correcting intraocular lens in patients with significant corneal astigmatism undergoing bilateral cataract surgery. This is important to ensure optimal results for patients who wish to have intraocular lenses that correct presbyopia and astigmatism, thus giving them a greater independence from spectacles and a better quality of life.
To this day, the most accepted treatment for the Achilles tendinopathy (AT) remains the exercise program to strengthen the plantar flexor muscles. The eccentric exercises protocol proposed by Alfredson is the most popular and recommended one by the rehabilitation professionals. Currently, the response to interventions is measured almost exclusively by clinical data, especially using questionnaires, since the Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) is rarely used. In fact, the thickness of the Achilles tendon, which is generally the only measure noted when using musculoskeletal ultrasound on AT, does not allow the clinician to confirm an improvement following an eccentric exercise program if the tendon is thinner, especially in adults with chronic AT. No scientific evidence indicates whether there is an improvement in the biological integrity of the Achilles tendon following the completion of Alfredson's eccentric strengthening protocol. This is why it seems relevant to use the pre-established minimal biomarker data set obtained with the QUS in order to study the variation of these data in response to a rehabilitation intervention and to verify how these variations influence clinical data.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with triple therapy an inhaler that contains three types of asthma medications, on participants with poorly controlled asthma. The triple therapy medication contains fluticasone furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) which reduces inflammation in the lungs; umeclidinium (UMEC), a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), a medication which helps open up the airways; and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) which also helps open up airways, delivered in a single daily inhalation via an Ellipta inhaler. The Investigators will evaluate lung structure and function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will inhale xenon gas before an MRI image of their lungs is taken. Using a special technique xenon is visible in MRI images, so this lets us see how air spreads in the lungs. In healthy lungs, the gas fills the lungs evenly, but in unhealthy lungs, the gas may fill the lungs unevenly and they will appear patchy. The patchy areas are called ventilation defects. A CT of the chest will be done to assess the structure of the lungs. The Investigators will also be using lung function testing and questionnaires to compare them to MRI ventilation defect measurements.
The primary objectives of this pilot study protocol are to assess safety and feasibility of using the geko™ device in COVID-19. Regarding safety to patients, we will measure the rate of adverse events, primarily local site irritation or discomfort. Feasibility will be measured on the basis of recruitment; ability to enroll sufficient number of patients meeting criteria. Protocol adherence will be observed as the ability to deliver the study intervention to the patients randomized to the treatment arm within the prescribed timeline and ability to complete the course of treatment. Additionally, we plan to measure patient outcomes such as ICU admission and death. The findings of this study have the potential to decrease the complications seen in COVID-19 infections.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of additional 6-week treatment cycles with rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a new drug, Ipatasertib, can slow the growth of advanced breast cancer when added to standard therapy (Fulvestrant).
