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 objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet LAA occluder compared to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for ischemic stroke and who are recommended for long-term NOAC therapy. The clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, multicenter active control worldwide trial. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device ("Device Group") and a commercially available NOAC medication ("Control Group"). The choice of NOAC in the Control Group will be left to study physician discretion.
The current study aims to assess clinical outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who have switched from traditional multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy with the Omnipod insulin system.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (sisunatovir). Sisunatovir is developed as potential treatment of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections. This study will assess sisunatovir as compared to placebo in infants aged 1 month to 36 months who are hospitalized with RSV lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). A placebo looks like the study medicine but does not contain any active medicine in it. This study will be conducted in 3 parts: In Part A participants aged 6 months to 3 years will be given a single dose of 2.5 mg/kg of sisunatovir in Cohort 1. In Cohort 2, participants age 1 month to 6 months will receive a single dose of 2 mg/kg of sisunatovir only after the completion of Cohort 1. 12-24 participants will be enrolled in Part A In Part B participants age 1 month to 36 months will receive sisunatovir or placebo dosed every 12 hours for 5 days. Doses for part B will be determined after the completion of Part A. 24-40 participants will be enrolled in Part B. The dose regimen for Part C will be determined after the completion of Part B. Approximately 120 participants age 1 month to 36 months will receive either sisunatovir or placebo. To participate in this study participants must meet the following criteria: 1. Age 1 month to 36 months 2. Weight ≥ 3.5 kg 3. Diagnosis of LRTI 4. Diagnosis of RSV 5. Hospitalization due to RSV LRTI
The RAISE-XT study is an open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zilucoplan in subjects with gMG who have previously participated in a qualifying Ra Pharmaceuticals sponsored zilucoplan study.
This is a study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of New Molecular Entity (NME) combination therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants with preserved liver function and without significant fibrosis/cirrhosis. The platform design allows comparison of multiple NME combination therapies against a common control, and introduction of additional treatment arms at later study time points. Each arm will consist of a screening phase (up to 8 weeks), treatment phase (up to 48 weeks) and post-treatment follow-up phase (48 weeks). The safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the study.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a leading cause of brain injury in infants born before term. Severe IVH, which occurs nearly exclusively in very preterm infants (born before 32 weeks gestation) who are already at risk of neurodevelopmental delays and cerebral palsy at baseline, results in a ~5 times higher risk of death or moderate-severe neurodevelopmental impairment, as well as short-term morbidities in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants with grade I and II IVH, although less severe than the higher grades of IVH, also have a higher risk of death or moderate to severe neurodevelopmental impairment compared to infants with a normal head ultrasound. Outcomes are worsened by the fact that the brains of these preterm infants are not fully developed, so the progenitor cells that would later differentiate and mature are damaged, resulting in hypomyelination and gray matter loss that are associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is no available therapy to treat the IVH or resultant brain injury, other than symptomatic management for resultant post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus with lumbar punctures and temporary or permanent shunts, which have significant risks on their own. This is a phase I trial to determine whether fresh intranasal human milk (HM) can be safely delivered as stem cell therapy to preterm IVH patients within a 3-hour window from HM expression and to identify signals which would indicate whether intranasal HM stimulates the repair of damaged brain tissue. Outcomes will be compared to HM fed historical IVH controls. Recruitment will take place in tertiary care NICUs in Toronto, which care for the highest proportion of very preterm infants with IVH in Canada. These NICUs have already adopted a common protocolized approach to manage severe IVH and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus with intensive monitoring, early symptomatic management, and detailed prospectively collected IVH data.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity of enfortumab vedotin as measured by confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. This study will also assess other measures of antitumor activity; overall survival (OS); as well as the safety and tolerability of enfortumab vedotin for cohorts 1 to 8 and enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab in cohort 9.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a novel manualized intervention, called Emotion and Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE), that combines psychological support with symptom screening plus triggered referral to early palliative care for symptom control, reduces psychological distress and physical symptom burden in individuals newly diagnosed with acute leukemia. To do this, half of the participants in this study will receive the usual care offered to patients with acute leukemia and half of the participants will receive usual care plus the EASE intervention.
Retroperitoneal sarcoma(RPS) is a rare cancer that is difficult to cure as it typically presents as a very large abdominal mass, and complete removal with clear margins is challenging . This study will focus on improving the outcomes of surgery by treating RPS before surgery, to make resection more effective. The role of chemotherapy as a preoperative treatment for RPS is highly controversial. Response to chemotherapy is unpredictable and if the patient's tumour progresses instead of responding, the window of opportunity for resection will be lost. Conventional cross sectional imaging (CT scan) is inadequate to measure response to chemotherapy until 5-6 cycles have been given, possibly with no improvement. Thus it is critical to develop an earlier and reliable way to assess response. Functional imaging by PET scan is used in other tumour types to identify early response to treatment. PET imaging may provide a more meaningful assessment of RPS response to systemic therapy much earlier in the course of treatment than conventional imaging, allowing timely modification of the treatment plan. This study will define the role of PET imaging in evaluating early response to systemic therapy in high grade RPS, improving patient treatment.
The participants of this study would have relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma is a type of blood cancer. It is referred to as 'relapsed' when the disease has come back after a period of improvement after that follows a treatment regimen and 'refractory' when treatment no longer works. Stage 1 of this trial will study the safety and the level that adverse effects of each of the study drug combinations can be tolerated (known as tolerability). It is also designed to establish a recommended study drug dosage for stage 2 and 3. Stage 1 of the study is completed. Stages 2 and 3 will evaluate and compare how long participants live without their disease getting worse when receiving the study drug in combination with other drug treatment versus the placebo (dummy drug) in combination with other drug treatment.
