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 evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in participants with advanced/metastatic or recurrent malignancies who receive gebasaxturev (V937) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475). The primary objective for Part 1 is to evaluate the objective response rate, and the primary objective for Part 2 is to determine the safety and tolerability of gebasaxturev administered in combination with pembrolizumab. With Amendment 4, this study will be terminated once all participants who have completed or discontinued gebasaxturev treatment and are only receiving pembrolizumab may be enrolled in a pembrolizumab extension study, if available, to continue pembrolizumab monotherapy for up to 35 cycles from first pembrolizumab dose on V937-013.
This study is open to adults with depression (major depressive disorder) for whom standard treatment with antidepressants alone does not work sufficiently. The purpose of the trial is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1358894 helps to improve symptoms of depression. Four different doses of BI 1358894 are tested in the study. Participants continue their standard antidepressant therapy throughout the study. Participants are put into 6 groups by chance. Participants in 4 of the 6 groups take different doses of BI 1358894, and placebo. Participants in the fifth group take quetiapine, a medicine already used to treat depression, and placebo. Participants in the sixth group take placebo only. Participants take BI 1358894, quetiapine, or placebo as tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1358894 or quetiapine tablets but do not contain any medicine. Each participant takes tablets twice a day. Participants are in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 8 times and get about 2 phone calls. At the visits, doctors ask participants about their symptoms. The results between the BI 1358894 groups, the quetiapine group, and the placebo group are then compared. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational drug called CFI-402411 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab and to study its effects in patients with advanced solid tumors who have progressed following previous therapies.
The study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) blinatumomab for treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D) of SC administered blinatumomab. It will also conduct a clinical PK evaluation of SC1 and SC2 blinatumomab formulations.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a plant-based resistant starch that is optimized for the individual will target the underlying cause of inflammatory bowel disease and restore a "healthier" gut microbiome in pediatric participants with inflammatory bowel disease.
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, open-label, two-arm study of approximately 25 patients with active IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). The two arms include (1) Experimental: rilzabrutinib with glucocorticoids and (2) Active Comparator: glucocorticoids only.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of GV-971 in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This is a prospective multi-center international registry. The objective of this registry is to collect prospective data on patients undergoing catheter ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). The registry will be used for clinical monitoring, research, and quality improvement purposes.
This study will assess how the serotonin precursor, 5-HTP, alter nervous system excitability and motor function in individuals with spinal cord injuries of differing chronicity and severity. Participants will visit the lab on 4 separate occasions where they will be administered four different drugs in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover design.
Depression is a highly prevalent and disabling mental health problem. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and it has a significant economic impact. Effective and feasible strategies aimed at the population-level to reduce the risk of onset are urgently needed to manage this ubiquitous condition. Developed from research in the fields of epidemiology, mental health, and implementation science, the proposed intervention provides individualized information designed to trigger actions that can reduce the risk of MDE. Specifically, and as the first step, the investigators developed the first sex-specific multivariable risk predictive algorithms (MVRPs) for MDE using data from over 10,000 Canadians. This innovative early work shows that the risk of onset of MDE can be quantified in the same way as can other physical disorders such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Knowing the individualized risk estimated by the MVRPs may serve as a trigger to empower people to actively engage in effective self-help actions. Self-help strategies are commonly used to deal with depression and promoting effective self-help strategies to the public as an early intervention strategy has been recommended as one way to reduce the large disease burden of depression. Subsequently, the investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and found that providing individualized depression risk causes no psychological harm in participants. These studies have laid the required foundation for communicating individualized risk information to a broad population as a first step towards effecting changes in self-help and help-seeking behaviours and reducing the risk of MDE onset. Using the MVRPs as the foundation and working with future users, the investigators developed a personalized depression risk communication tool (PDRC) for sharing information about individualized depression risk, risk profile (risk factors present), potential risk reduction, and self-help strategies. At this stage of our research program, the investigators need to answer the question: Does the PDRC lead to positive changes in self-help and help-seeking behaviours? Prior to a large scale RCT, the investigators proposed to conduct a pilot study to gain preliminary understanding about the effect of PDRC on self-help and help-seeking behaviors. The results will inform the design of a large RCT.
