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.
Objectives - Primary: To test the hypothesis that apixaban is superior to aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke in patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke and atrial cardiopathy. - Secondary: To test the hypothesis that the relative efficacy of apixaban over aspirin increases with the severity of atrial cardiopathy.
The appropriate treatment of labral lesions such as SLAP tears in patients undergoing RC tears repair is controversial. Most surgeons are reluctant to repair RC and SLAP tears simultaneously due to the high likelihood of prolonged postoperative immobilization, stiffness and poor clinical outcomes. The current standard care interventions include debridement, biceps tenotomy or tenodesis rather than surgical repair of SLAP tears. Simple debridement is a low cost and time-saving procedure that has the advantage of maintaining the anatomy of the long head of biceps (LHB), a muscle that acts as an active depressor of the head of the humerus in patients with RC tears. Biceps tenotomy is also low cost and time-saving; however, since the LHB is released from its attachment in the shoulder joint, the anatomy is not preserved and results in decreased strength and possible development of a 'Popeye' deformity. Biceps tenodesis has higher costs and time than the other two approaches, but has the advantage of preserving the LHB anatomy and power, and a lower possibility of developing complications. Finally, labral repair has the highest costs and associated surgical time and may lead to increase stiffness after surgery, particularly in patients over 45 years old. Currently, the standard care of the surgeons involved in this study is to use either debridement or biceps tenodesis to address labral lesions in patients undergoing surgery for their RC tear. Based on the current evidence and current practice in our facility, we aim to compare the efficacy of tenodesis versus debridement in patients with combined RC tear, degenerative labrum (SLAP tears) and a normal biceps tendon.
The proposed randomized, open label, with treat as usual control group (standard treatment or any disease modifying drugs), crossover phase II study will be conducted in 40 patients (n=20 per group) with the relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis according to the McDonald 2010 Criteria. Patients will be randomized into 2 intervention groups. One will receive the FMT from month 1 and for the first 6 months (early intervention group). On the other hand, the other group will be a control group during the first 6 months and will receive the FMT for the last 6 months of the study. Patients will be screened for eligibility based on MS diagnosis and EDSS and if eligible then consented. All qualified patients will not be currently or recently treated with high dose steroids.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antitumor activity of MIW815 (ADU-S100) in combination with PDR001.
The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the overall clinical value of GERI+ as an integrated embryo culture and assessment system, providing an undisturbed culture environment, continuous monitoring of embryo development and automated scoring using a predictive algorithm.
Nonfluent/agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia (nf/avPPA) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that begins with isolated language deficits. There is currently no cure or treatment for this disease. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a noninvasive neuromodulatory technique, is effective in major depression, and studied in many other conditions including nf/avPPA. Here the investigators propose to study the feasibility and change in language and brain function of a newer rTMS protocol (intermittent theta-burst stimulation, iTBS) using a randomized, blinded crossover design: participants will receive active or sham iTBS for two weeks and then switch groups without them or clinicians knowing their group. The investigators hypothesize that brain function and performance with language tasks will change after active iTBS.
This was a dose-finding study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 3 different doses of LIK066 compared to placebo or empagliflozin in T2DM patients with heart failure
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous Sodium Thiosulfate Injection for treatment of acute calciphylaxis-associated pain in chronic hemodialysis patients.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), quality of life and exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) of two treatment doses of CC-90001, 200 mg and 400 mg, compared with placebo, when delivered once daily per os (PO) in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study is designed to assess response to treatment by using measures of lung function, disease progression, fibrosis on radiography, and patient-reported outcomes. It will also assess dose response.
This study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation/safety evaluation to provisionally identify a dose and regimen of SY-1365 for further evaluation in Part 2. Following the identification of a recommended dose and regimen from Part 1, the study entered Part 2 to further evaluate safety and the antitumor activity of SY-1365 in patients with select solid tumors, and to confirm target engagement and downstream pathway impact in patients with any solid tumor histology.
