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 this study is to characterize the safety profile of benralizumab administration in asthma patients who have completed one of the three predecessor studies: D3250C00017, D3250C00018 or D3250C00020.
This study is a multicenter, open-label study of polatuzumab vedotin administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in combination with standard doses of bendamustine (B) and rituximab (R) or obinutuzumab (G) in participants with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study comprises two stages: a Phase Ib safety run-in stage and a Phase II stage. The anticipated time on treatment is 18 weeks for participants with DLBCL and 24 weeks for participants with FL.
The rationale of this study is to further fine-tune and individualize prophylactic treatment of patients with severe Haemophilia A with the goal of keeping the trough FVIII level above 1% between doses. Because trough FVIII levels are likely to be important predictors of the efficacy of prophylaxis, the focus of this study is on pharmacokinetic (PK) data.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, compliance and mechanism of action of study drug (QBKPN SSI) in subjects with two or more second primary pre-invasive or invasive adenocarcinoma following surgical section of Stage 1 NSCLC.
Primary Objective: To evaluate long-term safety of alemtuzumab. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate long term efficacy of alemtuzumab. - To evaluate the safety profile of participants who received other Disease Modifying Treatment (DMT) following alemtuzumab treatment. - To evaluate participant-reported Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes and health resource utilization of participant who received alemtuzumab. - To evaluate as needed re-treatment with alemtuzumab and other DMTs.
Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a form of brain stimulation for patients with neuropathic pain not responsive to medication. An electrode is placed on the surface of the brain and connected to a programmable battery in the chest. The strength of stimulation can be individually adjusted by changing the voltage of stimulation. A too high voltage will produce side effects (e.g. seizures) while a too low voltage will not provide pain control. The aim of this study is to analyze the optimal stimulation parameters in patients already implanted with a motor cortex stimulation who have received good pain relief. The actual voltage may vary widely between patients but the investigators feel that there may be an "ideal" voltage if it is measured as a percentage of motor threshold (PMT). If motor threshold is the stimulation voltage that can evoke a muscle contraction then a PMT = 80% would be a voltage that was eighty percent of that value. Although the actual voltage may be widely different between patients, the percentage needed may be very similar. The investigators therefore plan to measure the effect of different percentages of PMT in patients already being treated with motor cortex stimulation. Systematic analysis of the findings of this study might help the individual participant and future patients to better programming and less side effects.
Athletes using inhaled β2-adrenoreceptor agonists (IBAs) win a disproportionate number of medals. However, most previous research has shown that β2 agonists do not improve exercise performance in either asthmatic or non-asthmatic athletes. Although the majority of these studies do not show an ergogenic effect, the small number of studies with extended exercise bouts (~60 minutes) do show an advantage. The investigators believe that a controlled yet sport-specific exercise protocol will elucidate this ergogenic effect. Because IBAs may have different effects on these two groups of athletes, the investigators will measure exercise performance in both female and male elite cyclists. The investigators hypothesize that athletes will perform better during a combination steady-state/sprint exercise task following salbutamol administration.
The purpose of this study is to determine if FMT can reverse Hepatic Encephlopathy (HE) in cirrhotic patients who continue to have breakthrough episodes of HE despite maintenance therapy with lactulose and/or rifaximin or metronidazole.
Delivery of FMT by upper route, including gastroscopy, nasogastric/ nasojejunal tube, and lower route, including retention enema, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy have all been utilized successfully. Endoscopic delivery requires significant health care utilization and associated cost. Therefore, it is extremely desirable if FMT can be infused by a non invasive modality, which would significantly reduce patient discomfort, procedure related risks and health care costs, while offering similar efficacy to colonoscopic delivery in the range of 90%.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with an acute RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), the effect of presatovir on development of lower respiratory tract complication, being free of any supplemental oxygen progression to respiratory failure, and pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of presatovir.
