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.
Administration of DPX-RSV(A), a Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine containing Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) SHe antigen and DepoVaxTM adjuvant to healthy adults ≥50-64 years of age.
A 12-week, open-label, dose-escalating, phase 2 study to evaluate the effects of MBX-8025 in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Youth depression is a debilitating disorder that exacts enormous social, economic and personal cost. Unfortunately, treatments which are conventionally used to treat adult depression have often modest to no efficacy in youth and have side effects. Thus, there is a tremendous imperative to develop new treatments for youth depression. Investigators propose to examine the efficacy of a short form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for youth depression and examine its biological targets. This will be the first study examining the efficacy of a short rTMS protocol in youth diagnosed with depression who fail responding to or are intolerable to antidepressants. If the results are positive, investigators will have identified a novel treatment that may be both more efficacious, better tolerated and more acceptable treatment for youth depression. Finally, identifying the biological mechanisms leading to treatment efficacy will lead to more personalized treatments for youth depression and will be groundbreaking vis à vis understanding the mechanisms involved in this illness.
Dr Rajan is investigating a new method to improve local treatment of liver cancer. There is evidence that a drug, norepinephrine (NE), has the ability to shrink down normal liver blood vessels, but leave tumor vessels wide open. In patients with primary liver cancer, NE will be injected directly in the artery that nourishes the liver and the tumor. Real time blood flow will be measured using an advanced CT scanner to demonstrate the NE effect on blood vessels. If Dr Rajan's hypothesis is confirmed, this drug has great potential to benefit patients during local delivery of chemotherapy in the liver artery, diverting it away from normal liver and towards the tumor, resulting in less complications and improved tumor kill.
This is a Canadian randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of adalimumab versus placebo when used to treat subjects with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the knee, and with clinical features of inflammation, whose pain persists despite receiving maximum tolerated doses of conventional therapy.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test modified milk protein products to determine the effects of amino acids on food intake, satiety, insulin secretion and glucose control by insulin-independent action in healthy adults.
As the numbers of cancer survivors grow, the long-term adverse effects of cancer therapy are becoming increasingly apparent. Most prominent are the toxic effects on the heart (cardiotoxicity) which may lead to cardiac dysfunction and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The investigators hypothesize that an individualized aerobic training program for cancer patients receiving active treatment will be both feasible and safe and will result in improvements in overall levels of physical activity and quality of life. Feasibility will be assessed by evaluating the recruitment, adherence and attrition rates, along with program safety. Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating changes in health-related outcomes.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of two types of NPWT systems; the traditional negative pressure wound therapy (tNPWT) system and the single-use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO) system.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of the T-SPOT.CMV assay to determine immune competence against CMV infection in stem cell transplantation. To determine the utility of the T-SPOT.CMV assay used before transplantation to determine immune competence against subsequent CMV reactivation and to determine the utility of the T-SPOT.CMV assay used after transplantation to determine immune competence against subsequent CMV reactivation.
This phase II trial studies how well denosumab works in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as denosumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
