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 investigate the long term balance-enhancing effects of insoles that are hard and thin for older adults. Thirty older female adults between the ages of 65-84 years will be recruited for this study. Twenty participants (20) will wear the experimental insole and ten (10) participants will work their usual insole, during a 12 week period. Balance and foot sensitivity testing will take place at 0, 6 and 12 weeks. These tests will involve measurement of body motion and foot pressure in order to evaluate balance control. Additionally, each participant will be asked to return a bi-weekly postcard that will report on footwear wearing patterns and any falls (or fall-related) incidents that have occurred during the 12 weeks.
The objectives of this trial are to determine whether, in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI), randomization to accelerated initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT), compared to standard initiation, leads to: 1. Improved survival (primary outcome); and 2. Recovery of kidney function (principal secondary outcome), defined as independence from RRT at 90 days
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition where accumulation of fat in the liver leads to metabolic dysfunction. Currently there are no approved treatments for NAFLD. Part of the metabolic dysfunction may arise through changes in the gut microbiota. Prebiotic fibres have beneficial effects on glucose tolerance, body weight, and gut microbiota; therefore they may have potential as part of a dietary strategy for NAFLD treatment.
This is a single-site, 8-visit, double-masked, cross-over study involving three marketed products as study lenses. Participants will be randomly assigned each lens type, which will be worn for approximately two weeks (12 +/- 2 days) each. Participants will undergo a minimum washout period of 3 days before entering the study and undergo a minimum 7 day washout period between dispensing each lens type.
A ninevalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil-9) has been recently approved for clinical use. No data on immunogenicity and safety of interchangeable use of the ninevalent and the bivalent vaccine (Cervarix) are available. The main objective of this study is to assess the immunogenicity of ninevalent and bivalent HPV vaccines when administered to 9-10-year-old girls and boys according to 0-6 month schedule.
The investigators will compare the reduction in Borg dyspnea score during the 3-min constant rate shuttle walking test after 3 weeks of indacaterol 110 µg/Glycopyrronium 50 µg (Ultibro®) versus Tiotropium 18 µg (Spiriva®) alone in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
Phase III randomized clinical trial of lurbinectedin (PM01183)/doxorubicin (DOX) versus cyclophosphamide (CTX), doxorubicin (DOX) and vincristine (VCR) (CAV) or topotecan as treatment in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who failed one prior platinum-containing line.
The investigators propose to assess cough strength in patients undergoing spontaneous breathing trials in the Intermediate Intensive Care Unit (IICU) and compare their cough strength under two conditions, 1. Tracheostomy cuff inflated: cough strength will be measured with the tracheostomy cuff inflated and the patient coughing through the tracheostomy tube. 2. Tracheostomy cuff deflated: cough strength will be measured with the tracheostomy cuff deflated and the patient coughing around the tracheostomy tube, through their mouth.. The investigators hypothesize that patients will have a stronger cough when they can use their vocal cords.
Assessment of the efficacy and safety of CD5789 (trifarotene) 50μg/g cream applied once daily for 12 weeks in subjects with acne vulgaris.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, 3-part rollover study in subjects with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and who participated in studies VX13-661-103 (Study 103, NCT02070744), VX14-661-106 (Study 106, NCT02347657), VX14-661-107 (Study 107, NCT02516410), VX14-661-108 (Study 108, NCT02392234), VX14-661-109 (Study 109, NCT02412111), VX14-661-111 (Study 111, NCT02508207), VX15-661-112 (NCT02730208), and VX16-661-114 (NCT03150719). The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment of VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor.
