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 study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inebilizumab for the prevention of flare of Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD).
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Merit WRAPSODY Endovascular Stent Graft for treatment of stenosis or occlusion within the dialysis access outflow circuit
Oxygen therapy is administered to all patients during general anesthesia to maintain tissue oxygenation and prevent hypoxia and ischemia. However, liberal use of oxygen may lead to hyperoxia and some studies suggest that supranormal levels of arterial oxygen saturation may lead to complications. In this post hoc substudy of the VISION cohort, we plan to assess the association between perioperative inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS).
Developmental problems have tremendous impact on children, affecting academic achievement and mental health later in life.The process of receiving a developmental assessment is long and arduous, and may require multiple physician visits taking over one year. Although a relatively new concept in Canada, School-Based Health Centres (SBHCs) have been successfully implemented in over 1900 schools in the United States.The first SBHC in Ontario, and Canada as a whole, was established through the Model Schools Pediatric Health Initiative (MSPHI) and is dedicated to reducing health inequities for inner city children by reducing barriers and providing accessible clinical care. To provide more conclusive evidence on the relative benefits of SBHCs as compared to traditional health care access, this study will use a prospective cohort quasi-experimental study design to compare differences in educational achievement for developmental assessments in the SBHC model relative to standard care. As per standard of care, students having difficulty in school are identified by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) internal research staff and are presented to the monthly School Support team (SST) meetings. Historically physicians do not attend SST meetings, however, as a part of the SBHC program, pediatricians will participate in monthly SST meetings. Schools assigned to the intervention group will have SBHC physicians attend SST meetings, while schools assigned to the control group will not. The overall objective of this study is to examine educational achievement, as defined by standardized test scores and report cards in students who use an inner city SBHCs for developmental concerns relative to those who do not. We hypothesize students attending schools in which SST meetings have a pediatrician present, that are referred to a SBHC, will score higher and show a greater increase in standardized test scores and report cards (from baseline to follow-up) than students attending schools in which SST meetings do not have a pediatrician present and access services through traditional means in the community (standard of care).The secondary objectives are: a) to examine socio-demographic data for these students and its relationship to educational achievement and b) to determine wait times to developmental assessment for students in the intervention group who attend the SBHCs using retrospective chart review.
Participants (patients and volunteers) will be recruited to have their blood pressure measured by standard blood pressure assessment methods while having their face video recorded. The data collected will help improve the blood pressure measurement accuracy of Transdermal Optical Imaging, which relies on machine learning to extract physiological information from videos recorded.
The study is looking at the role of the mesentery in disease recurrence for ileocolic Crohn's disease. It is a prospective study that has been designed to perform extended mesenteric excision on patients undergoing their first ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease. Endoscopic recurrence will be monitored with the hypothesis that patients receiving extended mesenteric ileocolic resection will have reduced endoscopic recurrence at 6 months after resection.
This study is looking at the specific role of an exercise prescription on recovery from concussion symptoms in the general population.
The study aims at determining whether replacing the classical chemical absorber Dräegersorb 800+ on Dräeger Perseus A500 machines (Dräeger, Lübeck, Germany) by the new membrane technology-based product (Memsorb™, DMF Medical Inc., Halifax, NS, Canada) with the help of high-quality monitoring (BIS and NOL) and high-end ventilators (Dräeger Perseus A500 machines; Dräeger, Lübeck, Germany) that allow minimal fresh gas flow, will significantly decrease the use of sevoflurane and its related atmospheric pollution.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open label study with blinded outcome assessment to evaluate the impact of additional/intensive LDL-cholesterol reduction with evolocumab on carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques in higher risk subjects with severe asymptomatic but vulnerable plaques.
This is a phase 1, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose escalation study with NIO752 in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) participants.
