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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of presatovir on nasal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in RSV-positive lung transplant (LT) recipients with acute respiratory symptoms.
Clinics will be randomized to the use of the care pathway for obese pregnant women or standard care. Women who are (1) up to 20 weeks + 6 days gestation into their pregnancy, (2) are carrying one baby (not twins) that is healthy (no life threatening anomalies) and (3) have a Body Mass Index ≥ 30 kg/m², will be included. Data will be obtained from the Ministry of Health's Antenatal Records, charts, and for those in the intervention group, the care path (filled out by the practitioners - the participants' obstetrician, midwife, or family doctor). At the end of the study, practitioners will complete a survey, participate in structured interviews to understand barriers, facilitators, and motivators of using the care path. Primary Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of implementing and testing a clinical care pathway for obese pregnant women in a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) Secondary Objectives: To obtain pilot data on A) process outcomes (steps of the pathway, e.g. what % of obese women receive a screen for diabetes) B) clinical outcomes (e.g. what % of obese women receive a diagnosis of diabetes), C) provider outcomes (e.g. Is the intervention acceptable, feasible & efficient? Barriers & facilitators to use, effectiveness? [Structured interviews])
The purpose of this study is to improve outcomes for persons living with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and their family caregivers. The investigators hypothesize that outpatient interdisciplinary palliative care will improve patient-centered outcomes for PD patients at high-risk for poor outcomes.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of single and multiple ascending doses of QR-010 in adults homozygous for ΔF508 Cystic Fibrosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Pharmacokinetic parameters of JNJ-63623872 in combination with oseltamivir in elderly participants (aged 65 to <= 85 years) compared to adults (aged 18 to <= 64 years) with influenza A infection.
Family caregivers play a crucial role in cancer patients care, as they are their principal source of support. It is well recommended to provide them with the resources, information and support needed to maintain a good health, and to sustain their caregiving role. Recently, oncology centres have implemented systematic distress screening programs, but the focus has been limited to cancer patients, with little intervention on family caregivers. This study aims to address this gap. It will implement and test the effectiveness of a simple intervention integrating primary care and oncology care that transfers into practice the main recommendations of governmental authorities and experts to globally improve supportive care. The intervention includes systematic distress screening and problems assessment of family caregivers at diagnosis, and every two months, privileged contact with a nurse away from the patient to address caregivers distress and identified problems, and for caregivers experiencing high level of distress, liaison by the study nurse with their family physician to transfer information on their identified problems and level of distress and to facilitate shared follow-up. This intervention has been pilot-tested with family caregivers, health care providers and decision makers involved in lung cancer care, as well as with community-based family physicians, to ensure its feasibility and acceptability. This study findings may clearly improve patient and caregiver experience of cancer care, and reduce the burden of disease.
The purpose is to determine whether RPC1063 is effective in the treatment of Crohn's disease.
This Phase 3 study was designed to demonstrate the net benefit of sotagliflozin versus placebo in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
