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 multi-site, open- label rollover study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of CTX001 in pediatric and adult participants who received CTX001 in parent studies 111 (NCT03655678) 141 (NCT05356195) or 161 (NCT05477563) (transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia [TDT] studies) or Study 121 (NCT03745287) or 151 (NCT05329649), 161(NCT05477563),171 (NCT05951205) (severe sickle cell disease [SCD] studies).
International registry to collect prospective treatment and outcomes data on specific, key non-pathological fractures in children with open physes. Data will be collected during follow-up visits according to standard of care at 3 to 8 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
Multi-channel cochlear implants have been highly successful in restoring speech understanding to individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Optimal programs facilitate access to sound but do not necessarily result in optimal performance. Practiced listening with auditory inputs is required to retrain the brain to hear using a cochlear implant. In some cases exposure to sound in everyday listening is sufficient; however, in others there is a need for the provision of auditory training (AT) by a trained professional. In these cases it is important to have regular visits with a specialist to: 1) facilitate auditory training exercises; 2) work with the family/friends to encourage optimal communication strategies in the home; 3) evaluate and assess achievement of listening goals. This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of providing auditory training services remotely for patient populations located outside of Toronto. This study also seeks to evaluate interindividual perspectives regarding access and benefits of these services across remote and in person sessions.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are generally slow growing, but some can be aggressive and resistant to treatment. Compared to healthy cells, the surface of these tumor cells has a greater number of special molecules called somatostatin receptors (SSTR). Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and conventional imaging are used to detect NETs. This study proposes 18F-AmBF3-TATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is superior to current imaging techniques. The goal is to evaluate the biodistribution and safety of 18F-AmBF3-TATE PET/CT for neuroendocrine tumour imaging.
The INVIGORATE Trial: A Randomized, Double-masked, Crossover Design, Phase 3 Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Subjects With Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis.
Inadequate sleep quality and duration affects quality of life, and can cause adverse health outcomes, for many Canadians. Existing sleep therapies have limitations, such as inability to adhere to a cognitive behaviour modification or the risk of dependence on pharmaceutical therapies. Raw honey has a long history of anecdotal reports supporting its use to improve sleep quality. In an effort to develop an evidence base for honey as a sleep aid, we completed a preliminary proof-of-principle study to assess feasibility and potential effectiveness of honey to improve sleep quality. Results of our preliminary study demonstrate that honey is safe and effective for improving quality of sleep with no associated adverse effects, as compared to melatonin. The current study design builds off the experiences of the preliminary trial and will add more scientific rigor to the evidence base we have started to build.
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with QVM149, an inhaler that contains three types of asthma medications compared to an inhaler that contains two types of asthma medications. Both inhalers contain an inhaled corticosteroid, which reduces inflammation in the lungs, and a medication that helps to open up the airways. The investigational inhaler, QVM149, contains a third medication that also works to open up the airways. The investigators will measure the difference in these two treatments with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a special technique using xenon gas to show how gas spreads in the lungs. In healthy lungs, the gas fills the lungs evenly, but in unhealthy lungs, the gas may fill the lungs unevenly and they will appear patchy. The patchy areas are called ventilation defects. A CT of the chest will be done to assess the structure of the lungs. The investigators will also use lung function testing and questionnaires to evaluate the differences between these therapies.
The main aim of this study is to check if repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of lanadelumab can prevent angioedema attacks in teenagers and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-INH. Another aim is to check if they tolerate the repeated SC injections. Participants will receive a SC injection of lanadelumab every two weeks for 26 weeks. The first two doses of lanadelumab will be given at the study clinic. Once a participant (and/or parent/caregiver) has been appropriately trained, lanadelumab can be self-injected. Visits to the study clinic are planned for the first, third and fourth week and then every 4 weeks.
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, study comparing both the Viveve Treatment (RF plus cryogen) and cryogen alone treatment versus sham treatment in patients with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence.
This study is intended to treat ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. It is characterized by inflammation of the spinal joints that can lead to severe pain, and in more advanced cases, ankylosis (sections of the spine fuse in a fixed, immobile position). The study will be an ascending single and multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of subcutaneous KIN-1901 in healthy subjects and subjects with AS.
