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.
Twelve month extension of a previous study of Multi-Polar RF and PEMF technologies for the treatment of vaginal laxity and for the treatment of the mons pubis and labia for improvement in skin laxity. The study will enroll up to 50 subjects who completed the Venus Fiore CS0716 study for the treatment of vaginal laxity and treatment of the mons pubis and labia for improvement in skin laxity. Subjects will be followed up at least six and twelve months post-treatment. Analysis will be performed on all subjects who complete the six-month and twelve month follow-up visits.
Efficient inhalational anesthetic delivery requires the use of low-flow air and oxygen to reduce drug waste and minimize workspace contamination and environmental pollution. Currently, excess anesthetic gas is scavenged and removed from the operating room via the hospital ventilation system, where it is released into the atmosphere. CO2 is removed from the anesthesia circuit by the use of CO2 removal systems to prevent re-breathing and potential hypercarbia. Carbon dioxide is currently removed using chemical granulate absorbers (CGAs), which trap CO2 in the granules that are later disposed of when absorption capacity is reached. They require replacement approximately every other day when used in moderate to high volume surgical centres, placing a costly burden on the healthcare system and environment (landfill). One of the more concerning downfalls of using CGAs is the potential for the inhalational anesthetics to react with the granules and potentially produce toxic byproducts known as compounds A-E that are nephrotoxic and neurotoxic and require excess amounts of anesthetic gas to dilute. This excess use of anesthetics gases places a financial burden on the healthcare system and has a detrimental impact on the environment. The vast majority of the gases used are eventually released into the environment with little to no degradation where they accumulate in the troposphere and act as greenhouse gases. DMF Medical has created Memsorb, a new CO2 filtration membrane. Memsorb can remove CO2 from the anesthesia circuit without the use of CGAs, thereby eliminating the potential for toxic byproducts and allowing for significantly lower air and oxygen flow to be used, resulting in less use of inhalational anesthetics. Memsorb uses a polymeric membrane (similar to the ones used in oxygenators for cardiac surgery) that selectively allows CO2 to leave the rebreathing system, while maintaining the inhalational anesthetic in the circuit. The lifespan of Memsorb is at least 12 months, resulting in less particulate waste and a decreased cost to the healthcare system. We wish to evaluate the ability and efficacy of Memsorb in removing CO2 from the anesthesia circuit while maintaining physiologic minute volume ventilation, as compared to the traditional CGAs in a variety of surgical procedures, patient populations, and anesthesia gas flows.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) + pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to treatment with dCRT + placebo with respect to Event-free Survival (EFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in: - participants whose tumors express Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥10 - participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - all participants The primary study hypotheses are that dCRT+ pembrolizumab is better than dCRT + placebo with respect to: - EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10 - EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - EFS in all participants - OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10 - OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - OS in all participants
This Phase 3 study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine vs. investigator's choice chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of FRα. Patients will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. Folate receptor alpha (FRα) positivity will be defined by the Ventana FOLR1 (FOLR1-2.1) CDx assay.
This is a two-part study designed to evaluate the effect of Estetrol (E4) 15 or 20 mg, or placebo on the severity and frequency of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) (Efficacy Study Part) and the safety of E4 20 mg (Endometrial and General Safety Study Part)
The Canadian Rapid Treatment Center of Excellence (CRTCE) is a healthcare facility principally focused on providing best practices of intravenous ketamine treatment to adult patients suffering from mental health conditions. The center focuses specifically on treating individuals suffering from major depression disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder as their primary diagnosis. Herein, this retrospective analysis aims to look at past data in order to further develop our understanding of ketamine in the use of psychiatry.
This is a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multiple-ascending dose study in patients with hypoparathyroidism. The total duration of study medication treatment will be 13 weeks and includes a Fixed-Dose Treatment period and a Dose Titration Treatment period. The Fixed-Dose Treatment period consists of multiple daily dosing at a fixed dose level. Once patients have completed the Fixed-Dose Treatment period, patients will enter the Dose Titration Treatment period where PCO371 (or placebo), oral calcium and oral active vitamin D can each be titrated according to the patient's albumin-corrected serum calcium level.
The purpose of the study is to see if treatment with nivolumab plus bempegaldesleukin or nivolumab alone, before and after surgery to remove the bladder, is more effective than surgery alone in participants with high-risk urothelial cancer, including muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not able to receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
The high price of electrocardiograph (ECG) devices - with most hospital-grade devices costing thousands of dollars - is one of the barriers to access of this vital technology. There is a shortage of ECG devices in underserved areas and the devices available on the market currently are not adequate to solve this problem. Our solution is a low-cost high-quality open-access ECG device. This study intends to validate the study ECG device in human patients by demonstrating equivalence between the study ECG device and a gold standard device.
The investigators will explore the feasibility and safety of two exercise interventions delivered both in the hospital and in participants' homes. Preteens and adolescents who have had repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), will be grouped by age and randomly assigned to either an aerobic or strength training exercise program supervised for 12 weeks. An exploratory aim of this study will be to examine changes in fitness level, muscle strength, muscle oxygen extraction and quality of life after the intervention, and compare these measures between groups. At the end of the study, participants and parents will be interviewed to assess their satisfaction and ideas for improvements in the program.
