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 that evaluates the use of Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy in the treatment of Peyronie's Disease. Study participants will be assigned to receive Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy at 10-15% laser density coverage.
The current recommendations for dietary amino acid intake in pregnant women are based on calculations from requirements of adult men. The study aims to determine methionine requirements during early (11-20 weeks) and late (31-38 weeks) stages of pregnancy. Methionine, an essential amino acid (building block of body protein), is necessary for protein synthesis and for DNA related cellular functions. A non-invasive, novel method based on different diets, stable isotopes (the safe kind) and simple breath collection will be used. This method has recently been used by our laboratory to study other amino acids during pregnancy.
Epidemiological studies suggest that the use of cannabis is associated with an increase in the risk of motor vehicle collisions. It is also known that younger users may be at increased risk for motor vehicle collisions. Further, the frequency with which cannabis is used may be an important variable in determining the effects of cannabis on driving. The purpose of the present study will be to investigate the effects of cannabis on simulated driving in young as compared to middle-aged drivers. Half of the participants will be occasional users of cannabis and half will be frequent users of cannabis.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease affecting millions of Canadians. Exercise is a core treatment for knee OA, and is advocated by all clinical guidelines. However, the safety of recreational running in the presence of knee OA is unclear. There are no studies available to provide direct data to appropriately inform runners and clinicians whether running should be advocated for joint health. Our research study will address this gap.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and serious complication after lung resection. The incidence is likely underestimated, and risk may persist after leaving hospital. Recent development of simple wearable patch ECG devices may provide sensitive detection of AF in the extended postoperative period. Specific biomarkers may allow us to predict which patients are at risk of developing postoperative AF.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System. The study will evaluate the outcome of the Total Hip Arthroplasty using the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System over a ten year period. Survivorship of THA will be assessed up to ten years.
ACT is a randomized clinical trial to assess therapies to reduce the clinical progression of COVID-19.
This randomized clinical trial will compare the changes in performance, biomechanical and clinical outcomes before and after a six-week gait modification intervention. Participants with knee osteoarthritis will attend in-lab assessments and practice, while also performing daily, at-home walking tracked using a custom sensorized shoe.
The primary objective of this study is to provide expanded access of remdesivir (RDV) for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) infection.
A double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of capmatinib (INC280) and spartalizumab (PDR001) combination therapy versus capmatinib and placebo as first line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with MET exon 14 skipping (METΔex14) mutations
