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 pilot study is to compare the effectiveness of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) plus Medical Care As Usual (MCAU) compared to MCAU for Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders (SSRD). Consenting patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected SSRD will be randomly allocated to receive either 8 weekly individual sessions of ISTDP or to an 8-week wait list followed by ISTDP. MCAU including emergency department and/or family doctor consultation is available throughout trial participation. The primary outcome measure is participant self-reported somatic symptoms at week 8.
This is a single-arm phase II trial to assess the biological activity (in a sub-cohort using a Simon two-stage Phase II design) and toxicity of Artichoke Whole Phytocomplex Concentrate (WPC). The objective of the study is to explore the potential for a non-toxic phytocomplex extract from the artichoke plant as a chemoprevention agent.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fostamatinib is safe and effective in the treatment of persistent/chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).
The purpose of this study is to investigate how millet incorporation into different baked product types influences glycemic response and satiety.
A multi-centre prospective cohort study, which examines the effect of a team training educational intervention for pediatric resuscitation team members. The study uses simulation-based training as the primary teaching method to evaluate the effect of team training on team performance, as measured by adherence to PALS guidelines. By re-testing participants again after 6-12 months, the study will examine long-term retention of these skills. Hypothesis: adherence to PALS guidelines is improved following team training of pediatric resuscitation team members.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate lot-to-lot consistency in terms of immunogenicity, and evaluate safety of the Herpes Zoster subunit (HZ/su) vaccine. The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind study with three parallel groups.
Our project aims to improve the delivery and assessment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during pediatric cardiac arrest by introducing 2 novel approaches: 1. We will evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, credit card sized, and highly affordable "nano-card" CPR visual feedback device to improve compliance with HSFC CPR guidelines when used during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest; 2. We will also develop and study a novel, "Just-in-Time" (JIT) CPR training video, integrating proven educational methods (video-based lecture, expert modeling, practice-while-watching), and use the CPR visual feedback device to provide real-time coaching. We hypothesize that: H1: The use of a CPR visual feedback device will improve compliance with current HSFC CPR and resuscitation guidelines during a simulated pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest scenario compared with standard CPR with no visual feedback. H2: A JIT CPR Training Video, viewed by healthcare providers 2-4 weeks prior to the resuscitation event, will improve compliance with current HSFC CPR and resuscitation guidelines during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest compared with those healthcare providers with no prior exposure to the JIT CPR Training Video. H3: That there is poor correlation between providers' perception of CPR quality and actual measured CPR quality H4: That task load varies depending on provider role and type of clinical scenario
The purpose of this trial is to confirm if benralizumab can reduce the use of maintenance OCS in systemic corticosteroid dependent patients with severe refractory asthma with elevated eosinophils.
This study will assess efficacy of secukinumab, compared to ustekinumab, in patients that have plaque-type psoriasis
This is a research study of ribavirin which will be given in combination with vismodegib and/or decitabine. The purpose of this study is to see if patients respond to treatment when ribavirin is given with vismodegib alone or in combination with decitabine.
