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 randomized clinical trial (RCT) aims to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of different partial wrist fusion techniques in participants with post-traumatic wrist arthritis. Participants with stage II or III scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) or scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups: Group A (partial wrist arthrodesis without triquetral excision i.e. four-corner arthrodesis), or Group B (partial wrist arthrodesis with triquetral excision i.e. three-corner or capitolunate arthrodesis with triquetral excision). The results of this study will provide evidence to guide surgeons in determining the ideal wrist fusion technique in the management of patients with post-traumatic wrist arthritis requiring surgery.
This open-label, entry-into-human (EIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of RO7283420. Escalating doses of RO7283420 will be administered to participants with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D).
The composition of the gut microbiome has been associated with response and the development of toxicities on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in multiple tumor types. The aim of this study is to examine the gut microbiome composition in patients undergoing standard of care treatment for advanced/unresectable and/or metastatic solid tumors with ICIs. Fecal samples and peripheral blood samples will be collected to further characterize the diversity of gut bacteria and to study potential mechanisms by which gut bacteria impact the immune response.
The study objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of iTind three to five years following treatment.
It is now well documented that changes in gut microbiota composition accompany obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and contribute to low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance,and glucose intolerance. It is not yet clear if T2D predisposes the intestine to allow more microbial products or possibly live bacteria to subvert the gut mucosal barrier. However, it is known that hyperglycemia during T2D induces a more permissive gut barrier allowing increased penetration of microbes and their products into the blood. An important next step is to determine which strains of bacteria promote dysbiosis, allowing bacteria or bacterial components to subvert the gut barrier and alter glucose control. It is hypothesized that gut microbes in the colon and other lower gut segments are key modulators of energy balance, glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.
This is a single-center prospective study involving analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and the gut microbiome in patients with metastatic breast cancer on standard of care endocrine therapy with an aromatase inhibitor in combination with an inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6). Up to 20 patients with Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 will be enrolled. This study involves the collection and analysis of patient samples and does not involve therapeutic intervention.
The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to demonstrate the superiority of iptacopan (LNP023) at a dose of 200 mg b.i.d. compared to placebo on top of maximally tolerated ACEi or ARB on reduction of proteinuria and slowing renal disease progression in primary IgA Nephropathy patients.
This is a 12-month, single center, three-arm parallel design, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, to compare the effects of supplemental dietary fiber and metformin (MET) alone and in combination over 12 months on glucose metabolism (insulin resistance [IR]), inflammation and BMI in adolescents with obesity and IR, and to assess the relationship between therapeutic intervention(s) and changes in gut microbiome composition and function. Since MET and FIBER have been shown to reduce weight and increase insulin sensitivity through distinct but overlapping mechanisms of action, our central hypothesis is that the combination of FIBER + MET will have a synergistic effect and be more effective than FIBER or MET alone in improving metabolic function (IR) and reducing BMI and inflammation in adolescents with obesity, IR and family history (FM) of T2DM. .
Study description - Patients will be randomized according to post-operative recurrence risk to either a high ligation of ileocolic artery or mesenteric sparing ileocolic resection for terminal ileal Crohn's disease. The primary endpoint 6-month endoscopic recurrence. Endpoints - Primary endpoint; 6 months Secondary endpoints at 1 and 5 years post ileocecal resection Study population - Adult Crohn's disease patients with medically refractory terminal ileal Crohn's disease undergoing a primary ileocecal resection. Study sites - Multicenter international study Description of study intervention - Randomized control trial of two operative techniques Operative approach of a high ligation of ileocolic artery as compared to mesenteric sparing for a primary ileocolic resection Participate duration - 5 years
We aim to determine whether pectoral nerve block (PECS) performed after induction of anesthesia but before surgical incision results less opioid use in the post operative period compared with local infiltration alone in children undergoing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) surgery.
