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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of atypical antipsychotic medication increases the risk of hospitalization for a hyperglycemic emergency. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using administrative health databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada and the UK. Cohort entry will be defined by the initiation of a new antipsychotic medication. Follow-up will continue until hospitalization for a hyperglycemic emergency or the end of 365 days. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of hyperglycemic emergencies among new users of various antipsychotic drugs.
There is ample evidence that pain in children is under recognized and under treated. This is especially true for acute abdominal pain, a common complaint in the paediatric emergency department. Clinicians often fear that analgesia will obscure the diagnosis of a potentially surgical condition. As a result, acute abdominal pain goes untreated in many children, as there is no standard of care. Hyoscine N-butylbromide (Buscopan) has been used successfully in adults and children for pain associated with urinary tract infections and kidney stones for over 60 years. However, no study has explored its usefulness in relieving acute abdominal pain in children. The objectives of this study are to investigate to what degree Buscopan is effective in relieving abdominal pain in children compared to acetaminophen.
To evaluate the change in quality of life (NEI VFQ 25) in subjects with DME during the first year of treatment with aflibercept according to the EU Label.
This study aims to evaluate the optimal use, efficacy, and safety of a Treat-and-Extend regimen with aflibercept in subjects with nAMD.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether increased dairy intake, at the level recommended by Canada's Food Guide, combined with healthy eating and exercise, will improve body composition and bone turnover over 12 weeks in overweight and obese girls.
Proper analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important for encouraging early ambulation, which can facilitate improved patient outcomes and early hospital discharge. For pain control after TKA, adductor canal blocks (ACBs) improve upon the gold standard femoral nerve blocks (FNBs) since they do not cause as much quadriceps muscle weakening, while providing equivalent analgesia. Multimodal analgesia has become commonplace as a method of superior pain control with fewer side effects. Magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to FNB local anesthetics can improve pain control after surgery; however, it also prolongs time to ambulation. There are no reports on the effect of magnesium sulfate in ACBs on analgesia after TKA. Thus the purpose of this randomized, double-blind, controlled trial is to determine whether magnesium sulfate given with local anesthetics via ACB can prolong analgesia, reduce pain scores and opioid consumption, and increase mobilization in TKA patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab, in combination with brentuximab vedotin, is safe and effective in patients with certain subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with CD30 expression that have not responded to treatment or have come back. The subtypes we are studying are Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL), Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma (PMBL) and Mediastinal Gray Zone Lymphoma (MGZL).
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that daily treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with an enzymatic debriding agent, SANTYL, for up to 6 weeks will result in more rapid decrease in ulcer area than diabetic foot ulcers treated with a topical treatment containing silver. After meeting study criteria, participants will be randomly assigned to apply SANTYL or a topical treatment containing silver to their to foot ulcer for up to 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, participants will be followed for an additional 4 weeks to examine the outcome of the study treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a proposed adalimumab biosimilar (M923) and Humira in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis.
The study is a 2 arm, multi-center, randomized, open-labeled clinical trial designed to assess the effects of varying doses and schedules of oral insulin on immunological and metabolic markers in relatives at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D).
