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.
It is expected that by 2030, the percentage of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) in Canada over 60 years of age will exceed 50%. In this population, poor cognition and persistent sub-threshold depressive symptoms are particularly common, difficult to treat, associated with increased mood episodes, and poor daily functioning. Mind-body interventions have increasingly been found to be effective in treating several psychiatric condition including BD. A few pilot studies examining mindfulness-based intervention in younger adult BD have been promising for depressive symptoms, but some pilot research suggest that patients with older age bipolar disorder (OABD) may benefit more from moving mindfulness. The investigators will conduct a 12-week randomized controlled trial to assess whether tai-chi/qigong will be associated with 1) greater reduction in depressive symptoms, and 2) greater improved cognition, in comparison to a light exercise active control condition, 12- and 24-weeks from baseline, in BD patients aged 40+.
The study will be a randomized, partially-blinded, prime-boost, staggered dose-escalation Phase 1 study intended to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Coronavirus-Like Particle COVID-19 Vaccine at three dose levels (3.75 µg, 7.5 µg, and 15 µg VLP) unadjuvanted or adjuvanted with either CpG 1018 or AS03 in healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age, who have been tested for the absence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. At each dose level, the vaccine will initially be administered to a small number of subjects. Vaccinations of the first 6 subjects at the lowest dose level will be staggered so that each vaccination must be performed at least 30 minutes apart. Vaccination of the remaining subjects at the same dose level and the next higher vaccine dose level will be administered with approval of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). The same process will be followed for the second vaccine administration. All subjects will be followed for a period of 12 months after the second administration of the vaccine for safety and immunogenicity testing at the end of the follow-up period.
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. Early research suggests that children are no more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than adults and that children with confirmed COVID-19 have generally presented with milder symptoms. However, the impact of COVID-19 among Canadian children remains unclear. The prevalence of COVID-19 in children in Canada is currently unknown and no published research exists regarding the risk factors of COVID-19 in children or its potential long-term health effects on physical health or development. Using TARGet Kids!, Canada's largest children's cohort study with over 11,000 children involved, the researchers will conduct a longitudinal observational study aimed to evaluate the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in children and parents; differences among infected and uninfected children in terms of age, sex, and income; risk factors of COVID-19; and longer term health effects of COVID-19 among children. Given the rapid spread of COVID-19 and the unknown health effects of the virus in children, research must be conducted to determine the extent of infections of COVID-19 in children, disease severity, risk factors for infection, and how the virus affects children as they become older.
The aim of this study is to determine if Povidone iodine (PVP-I) rinses and throat gargles or a PVP-I gel forming nasal spray compared to a placebo (a treatment that has no physical effect to a person) is an effective treatment for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. These patients have been diagnosed with mild/moderate COVID-19 symptoms and sent home for self-isolation. Patients will be instructed to take either of the two treatments or placebo twice daily for two weeks and have follow up visits 2 and 4 weeks after. The participants will also complete study related procedures such as saliva sample collection, and two questionnaires throughout the study period. The investigators hypothesize that COVID 19 positive participants who use either of the Povidone - Iodine treatment will have a reduction in their viral load, develop a negative oral mucosa sample and improve their clinical symptoms.
This is a Phase I dose-escalation and dose-expansion study that will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary activity of GDC-6036 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a KRAS G12C mutation.
The most visible signs of aging are on the skin. As skin gets older it shows a decrease in epidermal thickness, with a flattening of the dermal-epidermal junction. At the same time, loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation begin. The objective of this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of Vinh Wellness Collagen on skin elasticity, wrinkles, and hydration over 12 weeks.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a significant worldwide medical problem. GSK3228836 demonstrated target engagement in CHB participants who were not on treatment and in CHB participants on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy. This study is intended to evaluate if treatment with GSK3228836 can achieve sustained virologic response (SVR), that is hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) less than (<) lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) <LLOQ sustained for 24 weeks post-GSK3228836 treatment end. In addition, the study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of GSK3228836 in the 4 dosing regimens. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with GSK3228836 in two populations of participants with CHB; participants on stable nucleos(t)ide treatment (Cohort 1) and participants who are not currently on nucleos(t)ide therapy (Cohort 2). For each population, participants will be randomized into one of the 4 different parallel arms to receive treatment. The study will consist of a screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately, 440 participants will be enrolled in the study.
It is hypothesized that a strategy using prophylactic oral and intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) with therapeutic platelet transfusions (if required) is safe and more effective than prophylactic platelet transfusions in patients undergoing an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
To address the need to intervene to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in long-term care homes, we propose a randomized clinical trial of chemoprophylaxis in long-term care homes experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks. LTCH units experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19 will be randomized to chemoprophylaxis with favipiravir or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Chemoprophylaxis in this setting refers to the use of favipiravir for pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, pre-emptive therapy, or treatment for established COVID-19. This design mimics the approach to influenza outbreaks, which has proven efficacy for outbreak control. The primary outcome will be control of the outbreak, defined as no new microbiologically confirmed case of COVID-19 for 24 consecutive days up to day 40.
Primary Objective: - Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with transepidermal water loss (TEWL) assessed after skin tape stripping (STS) in pre-defined lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with dupilumab. Secondary Objectives: - Evaluate changes in skin barrier function with TEWL assessed after STS in pre-defined lesional and non-lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in reference to normal skin of healthy volunteers. - Evaluate time course of skin barrier function with TEWL assessed before and after STS in pre-defined lesional and non-lesional skin in participants with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in reference to normal skin of healthy volunteers.
