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.
Evidence exists supporting the ability of genetic variations to influence patient drug response and side effects. Previous studies utilizing an open-label design have shown significant improvement in major depressive disorder (MDD) patient outcomes following use of the GeneSight Psychotropic (GEN) test. The first objective of this trial is to utilize a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial design to replicate previous findings of improvement in clinical outcomes in MDD subjects whose medication therapy was guided by GEN testing. Another objective is to determine the added benefit of Enhanced-GeneSight (E-GEN) compared to GEN for the pharmacogenomic guidance of treatment selections. Furthermore, this trial intends to develop an evidence-based case for the value of GEN and E-GEN to Canadian healthcare payers.
This study will assess the systemic exposure and pharmacokinetic parameters of GSK2894512 following twice daily topical administration of 1% and 2% cream in adult subjects with AD, and will provide information about the systemic safety as well as local safety and tolerability following twice daily application to up to 35% body surface area (BSA) of affected skin of subjects with AD. It will be an open-label, sequential study consisting of 2 cohorts. A cohort of 6 subjects (Cohort 1) will apply GSK2894512 (cream, 2%) to affected skin on an area ranging from 15 to 35% of the total BSA for 20 days plus a final dose on Day 21. Cohort 2 will consist of 6 subjects that will apply 1% cream. Cohort 2 will follow the same procedures as Cohort 1.
Dexmedetomidine has demonstrated benefits both in sedation, and post-operative pain control, with less respiratory depression than other common sedatives. Traditionally, dexmedetomidine has been used with a large loading dose and infusion, which has been known to cause dose-dependent negative side-effects (Abdallah et al., 2013). Single dose dexmedetomidine produces less negative side-effects, but still effective sedation and reduced post-operative pain (Jung et al., 2013). There is evidence for its benefits with general anesthesia but only a few studies exist investigating its benefits when administered for sedation purposes with spinal anesthesia, and no studies primarily examine post-operative opioid consumption. The investigators hypothesize that single dose dexmedetomidine for procedural sedation will reduce opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a form of brain stimulation for patients with neuropathic pain not responsive to medication. An electrode is placed on the surface of the brain and connected to a programmable battery in the chest. The strength of stimulation can be individually adjusted by changing the voltage of stimulation. A too high voltage will produce side effects (e.g. seizures) while a too low voltage will not provide pain control. The aim of this study is to analyze the optimal stimulation timing parameters in patients already implanted with MCS and have received good pain relief. The investigators wish to cyclize on/off MCS in order to save the battery life of the stimulator and also decrease stimulus habituation. The investigators hope to determine these timing parameters while maintaining optimal pain relief.
The primary objective for this study is to evaluate the safety of lebrikizumab compared with Topical Corticosteroids (TCS) alone in patients with persistent moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) that is inadequately controlled with TCS.
This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety of PT010 relative to PT003 and PT009 on COPD exacerbations subjects with moderate to very severe COPD.
Albiglutide is an analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), used to treat type 2 diabetes This study will test whether albiglutide affects the occurrence of major cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes and other important medical outcomes in persons with type 2 diabetes, when used alone or added to other diabetes treatments.
The purpose of this study is to look at the pharmacokinetics of a new formulation of deferiprone (deferiprone extended release tablets) under fed and fasting conditions.
The primary objective of this trial is to identify how much protein is required at breakfast to promote positive whole body protein balance over the following 9h period.
The goal of the proposed research is to investigate the effects of novel snack products differing in macronutrient composition, fibre and sugar content on post-prandial glycemia and short-term appetite control in healthy adults.
