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 incretin-based drugs (used to treat type 2 diabetes) taken either alone in or combination with other anti-diabetic drugs are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) compared to sulfonylureas. The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using administrative health databases in five jurisdictions in Canada, the US, and the UK. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a new anti-diabetic drug when incretin-based drugs entered the market, with follow-up until hospitalization for PC. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of PC in users of incretin-based drugs and by class of incretin-based drugs.
This study is investigating the pharmacokinetic profile (i.e. the way the product is processed by the body) of a proprietary curcumin formulation compared to an unformulated curcumin product. Subjects will take a single dose of either the proprietary formulation or comparator product and the blood levels of curcumin and curcumin metabolites will be measured over a period of 48 hours.
Study question: Is there an ideal combination of intraoperative long acting analgesics (periarticular infiltration (PI), femoral nerve block (FB) and intrathecal opioids (IO)) to optimize post-operative functional recovery, decrease overall narcotic consumption and enable faster 'readiness to discharge' for patients undergoing primary total knee replacement (TKR)?
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of single agent AZD9291 in a real world setting in adult patients with advanced or metastatic, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), who have received prior EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Immune Globulin (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) as a corticosteroid (CS)-sparing agent in subjects with CS-dependent Myasthenia Gravis (MG).
The primary objective is to evaluate whether IGIV-C improves MG symptoms as compared to placebo in subjects with MG.
This study is a randomized control cross over trial of exercise training during or after taxane-containing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. Forty-three women with stage I-III breast cancer will be randomized to immediate or delayed thrice weekly exercise training for 8-12 weeks. The immediate exercise group will exercise during taxane chemotherapy and the delayed group will start exercise 2 weeks after completion of treatment. This design will allow for an assessment of the effects of exercise vs usual care during treatment, plus a comparison of the training response during vs. after chemotherapy.
A Phase 1b/2a, Multi-Center, Open-Label, 2-Period, Fixed-Sequence Study Evaluating the Effect of Esomeprazole on SYN-004 Degradation of Ceftriaxone In Healthy Adult Subjects with a Functioning Ileostomy
Many individuals are often left with problems moving their arm and hand, months to even years after a stroke. Recent progress in research suggests the application of non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), in conjunction with rehabilitation exercises can further improve a person's ability to move after stroke. However, the problem is that this doesn't work for everyone, and researchers do not know why. One reason may be that TDCS is currently applied using a one-size-fits-all approach. Researchers apply the same type of TDCS to everyone, assuming the stroke affects everyone in the same way. But, researchers know this is not the case. For example, each person will likely have different amounts of damage to brain regions that control movements. A better understanding of how the stroke uniquely affects a person's brain will help us to know which is the correct type of TDCS to apply for that person. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine whether the amount of damage to brain regions that control movements can predict which type of TDCS will be more effective to help a person improve their ability to move. Participants will undergo 1 session of magnetic resonance imaging, and three sessions of TDCS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sirukumab as adjunctive treatment to antidepressant therapy (monoaminergic antidepressant) where sirukumab (administered as a 50 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection at Day 1, Day 28 and Day 56 during the 12- week double-blind treatment period) is compared to adjunctive placebo based on the change from baseline to 12-week endpoint in depressive symptoms as measured by the total score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), in participants diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have had a suboptimal response to the current standard oral antidepressant therapy and have a screening high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) >=0.300 milligram per deciliters (mg/dL) (International System of Units (SI) 3.00 mg/L). A cohort of subjects with hsCRP <0.300 milligram per deciliter will also be enrolled to allow a better understanding of the relationship between CRP and clinical changes.
