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 ATTEMPT (Adolescent Type 1 diabetes Treatment with SGLT2i for hyperglycEMia & hyPerfilTration Trial) is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of treatment with Dapagliflozin when compared to placebo, in combination with adjustable insulin, on measured GFR in adolescents with T1D 12 to <19 years of age over a 16-week treatment period.
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nodes in your neck. Using sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery may work better in treating patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer compared to standard elective neck dissection.
RA is a chronic, systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease which requires treatment for a long time period, hence it is important to study the long-term safety and efficacy of the continuous treatment with GSK3196165 over several years. This is a Phase 3, multicenter, parallel group treatment and long-term extension study primarily to assess safety with efficacy assessment as a secondary objective. Adult participants with RA who have completed the treatment phase of a qualifying GSK3196165 clinical studies (Phase 3 studies contRAst 1 (201790: NCT03980483), contRAst 2 (201791: NCT03970837) and contRAst 3 (202018: NCT04134728) and who, in investigator's judgement will benefit from extended treatment with GSK3196165 will be included in this study (contRAst X [209564: NCT04333147]). Participants will continue to receive the same background conventional synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug(s) [csDMARD(s)] treatment as they received in their qualifying study. Eligible participants will be enrolled to receive weekly GSK3196165 90 milligrams (mg) or 150 mg by subcutaneous (SC) injection. The anticipated study duration is approximately 4 years which will enable participants to receive treatment with GSK3196165 until it is expected to become commercially available. Approximately 3000 participants from the qualifying studies will participate in this long-term extension study
Physical exercises are known to reduce chronic pain in elderly individuals by activating the motor system. However, it seems that exercises are not effective for everyone. The investigators believe that elderly individuals with altered corticospinal tract will be those in whom the exercise alone are not sufficient to relieve pain. For those patients, adding an exogenous stimulation of the motor system such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) would facilitate the corticospinal tract, and consequently, would help exercises to relieve chronic pain. The investigators hypothesize that combining tDCS with the exercises will be more effective than exercises alone, but only in individuals who initially show low corticospinal projections.
Loin Pain Hematuria Syndrome (LPHS) is a poorly understood, painful and incapacitating condition that typically afflicts young women and was first described in 1967. Currently, the treatment for LPHS is opioid prescription and in some extreme cases, surgical denervation of the nociceptive impulses with renal auto transplantation and auto nephrectomy. Radiofrequency nerve ablation is a minimally invasive alternative to opiate therapy, auto-transplantation and nephrectomy in LPHS. In the investigators' previous exploratory pre/post single centre studies, the investigators showed promising results with regards to pain relief, mood, disability and quality of life post procedure. As these initial studies were neither blinded nor randomized, improvements in pain and quality of life scores owing to a placebo effect cannot be ruled out ; hence, to rule out any cause-effect relation between treatment and outcome, selection-bias, influences the investigators intend to conduct a double-blinded, parallel group, sham-controlled, randomized controlled trial (RCT). The present study is designed to assess the feasibility of conducting a large scale randomized control trial. Study Hypothesis: In the present study the investigators hypothesize that the recruitment, intervention, measurement and trial procedures will be feasible and acceptable, thus allowing to proceed with a full randomized control trial
This study compares three medical cooling devices for effectiveness of cooling the core of non-shivering subjects. This relates to common protocols to cool patients experiencing myocardial infarctions or stokes.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of Methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) for the treatment of acute pain during closed nasal fracture reduction. The study aims to provide evidence under blinded controlled conditions that Penthrox is safe and effective in patients aged 18 to 65 years during closed nasal fracture reduction.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the drug ruxolitinib in people diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia by determining the number of people whose conditions worsen (requiring machines to help with breathing or needing supplemental oxygen) while receiving the drug. This is a sub-study of the U-DEPLOY study: UHN Umbrella Trial Defining Coordinated Approach to Pandemic Trials of COVID-19 and Data Harmonization to Accelerate Discovery. U-DEPLOY helps to facilitate timely conduct of studies across the University Health Network and other centers.
This study will examine the behavioural and neurophysiological efficacy and feasibility of an online spatial navigation intervention for improving memory and brain health in individuals who have sustained moderate-severe traumatic brain injury.
Many older adults have urinary incontinence. They often seek treatments, such as diapers, pads, or medications, from the community pharmacy. Pharmacists are trained to assist seniors with therapies that treat urinary incontinence. Our study will determine how much benefit there is if pharmacists try to provide more assistance for seniors with incontinence. Over a period of months, half of the people who talk to the pharmacist about their incontinence will be given general information about health and aging. The other half of the people will have a longer assessment and complete a questionnaire with the pharmacist. Then the pharmacist will call and have a follow-up visit to see how the incontinence symptoms have improved. We will compare both groups to see whose symptoms were improved.
