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 the study was to explore the added value of adjunctive use of Early Embryo Viability Assessment (Eeva) with morphological grading in identifying optimal embryos for transfer.
The main objective of this study is to determine if oral supplementation of Citrulline, when combined with HIIT, can produce significant changes in body composition, muscle quality, muscle metabolism and functional capacity in older obese men and women . The investigators hypothesize that Citrulline combined with HIIT will be more beneficial than HIIT alone which will be more beneficial than citrulline alone which will be more beneficial than placebo alone in obese elderly men and women .
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of switching treatment-resistant depression (TRD) participants from a prior antidepressant treatment (to which they have not responded) to either intranasal esketamine plus a new oral antidepressant or switching to a new oral antidepressant plus intranasal placebo.
Postprandial meal glucose control with closed-loop systems (CLS) still needs some improvements. In the postprandial period, sensor delay in detecting blood glucose rise after a meal together with delays in insulin absorption expose patients to early risk of hyperglycemia and then to late-postprandial hypoglycemia. Glucagon infusion in dual-hormone CLS has the potential to improve post-meal control as compared to single-hormone CLS allowing a better glucose excursion related to a more aggressive insulin infusion while minimizing hypoglycemic risk. Several approaches have been tested for the determination of prandial boluses during closed-loop operation. The objective of this study is to test in outpatient unrestricted settings whether, in the context of closed-loop strategy, conventional meal carbohydrate counting could be reduced to a simplified qualitative meal size estimation without a significant degradation in overall glycemic control in adult patients with type 1 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that in outpatient free-living conditions: 1) Dual-hormone CLS with partial boluses is equivalent to dual-hormone CLS with full boluses in terms of mean glucose; 2) Single-hormone CLS with partial boluses is equivalent to single-hormone CLS with full boluses in terms of mean glucose. Secondary hypothesis are: 3) Dual-hormone CLS with partial boluses will decrease time in hypoglycemia compared to single-hormone CLS with partial boluses; 4) Dual-hormone CLS with partial boluses is better than sensor-augmented pump therapy in terms of mean glucose; 5) Single-hormone CLS with partial boluses is better than sensor-augmented pump therapy in terms of mean glucose.
Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI), with cricoid pressure is advocated for all obstetric patients undergoing general anesthesia. Applying cricoid pressure correctly is crucial to prevent aspiration. Using Ultrasound guidance we will be assessing the ability of different disciplines of caregivers to correctly localize the cricoid cartilage in obstetric patients by anatomical landmark palpation.
This study investigates whether oxytocin, a neuropeptide known for its role in social bonding, influences the outcomes of persuasive communications and several primary evolutionary goals. Participants will be given either oxytocin or placebo on their first visit and then they will receive the other spray during their second visit. At each visit, participants will engage in several psychosocial tasks to assess the role of oxytocin on receptiveness to opposing opinions, navigating the spatial environment, mating and parenting goals. Participants' attitudes and behaviours will be compared across the different conditions.
Study Design: This is a multicentre, prospective, open-label, single arm, phase IV registry study. No additional procedures are included in the study. Standard clinical data will be collected. This will include a physical examination and NIHSS score assessment at baseline. In addition, all neuro-imaging will be collected. Standard imaging includes a non-contrast CT brain at baseline and 7±2 days post-treatment. Repeat NIHSS score assessment at the time of the 7 day CT scan. Repeat clinical and NIHSS score assessment 30 days post-enrolment will also be collected when performed as part of standard care. Study Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the safety of early dabigatran initiation after minor stroke/TIA in patients with atrial fibrillation. 2. Determine the frequency of asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation after 7 days of dabigatran treatment following stroke/TIA 3. Determine the effect of asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation on functional and neurological outcome at 30 days.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the blood levels of Coenzyme Q10 in healthy subjects when administered Omega Q Plus® Resveratrol for 28 days.The secondary objective of the study is to determine if statin use has an impact on the blood levels of Coenzyme Q10 when administered Omega Q Plus® Resveratrol for 28 days. The safety objectives will include assessment of safety evaluations as determined by: - laboratory tests - CBC, electrolytes (Na, K, Cl), glucose, creatinine, AST, ALT, GGT, and bilirubin - vital signs - heart rate and blood pressure - adverse events
Comparison of 2 doses of empagliflozin vs placebo in patients already using either an insulin regimen of multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Randomisation to 3 treatments arms (equal assignment) following a screening period, an optimisation period and a run-in period. 52 week double-blind treatment period, and 3 week follow-up period.
