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 is a pilot study evaluating an online cardiometabolic and weight loss program which is offered by The Wellness Institute. The program is 16 weeks and is developed by a multidisciplinary team and delivered by a degreed health professional (health coach) to assist participants in achieving their personal wellness goals. This study will also investigate the impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) on participants lifestyles and access to lifestyle programs and supports.
REaCT-5G will compare bone pain from a single dose of Pegfilgrastim to 5 doses of daily filgrastim in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the primary objectives of safety and efficacy (rate of clinical cure) of 2 dosages of CRS3123 (200 mg and 400 mg) administered orally (po) twice daily (bid) and vancomycin administered 125 mg PO 4 times daily (qid) in adults > or equal to 18 years of age with a primary episode or first recurrence of CDI. The study will investigate the plasma concentrations and HRQoL outcomes of CRS3123 and additional efficacy endpoints as secondary objectives.
This study is done to find out whether the medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a "dummy" medicine which does not contain any study medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by an equal chance. The study will last for up to 173 weeks (about 3 years and 4 months). Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans. At 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sub-study will be performed as a part of the study. The sub-study will be performed on a selection of sites based on their experience with CSF sampling and willingness to participate in this sub-study. The endpoints related to this sub-study are exploratory only.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) prasinezumab versus placebo in participants with Early Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are on stable symptomatic PD medication.
This main long-term extension study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of faricimab 6 milligrams (mg) administered by intravitreal injection at a personalized treatment interval (PTI) to participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who enrolled in and completed one of the Phase III studies: GR40306 (NCT03823287) or GR40844 (NCT03823300), also referred to as the parent studies. Eligible patients who consent to participate in this main study will be enrolled upon completion of the end-of-study visit in the parent study. Additionally, there is a substudy that is being conducted. The aim of this substudy is to evaluate the impact of intravitreal faricimab on the health of the corneal endothelial cells in the study eyes of patients with nAMD to fulfill a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) post-marketing requirement. The fellow eyes of the same enrolled participants in the substudy will serve as the controls.
The safety and tolerability of MK-8591A, a 2-drug fixed dose combination (FDC) of doravirine (DOR 100mg) and islatravir (ISL 0.75mg) will be evaluated in participants with Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) who were treated with DOR and ISL in earlier clinical studies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will also compare lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab with the standard of care treatment of regorafenib and TAS-102 (trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride). The primary study hypothesis is that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is superior to standard of care with respect to overall survival.
More than 70,000 total knee replacement procedures are performed annually in Canada, representing a growth of 17% over the past 5 years, with further increases anticipated due to an aging population. While total knee replacement offers improved quality of life for patients and is cost effective for the healthcare system, 20% of patients routinely report dissatisfaction with the procedure. Patient dissatisfaction has been strongly linked to unmet expectations of outcomes after the surgery, especially with respect to physical activity. Counselling patients on appropriate expectations has been suggested as a means to improve satisfaction. Recently, our group has developed a tool to predict the functional ability of an individual patient after total knee replacement. This tool employs machine learning to classify patients as more likely to maintain or improve function, based on a functional test performed in clinic while wearing a sensor system around each knee. Implementing this tool in clinic pre-operatively could assist in setting appropriate expectations for each patient. Our primary objective is to compare patient satisfaction scores at one year after total knee replacement in patients who were informed of their specific expected functional outcome compared to patients who were not informed of their predicted functional outcome. We hypothesize that patients who are given an informed expectation will have higher satisfaction scores. This in turn may decrease health system costs associated with additional clinic visits from dissatisfied patients.
