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.
There are no studies examining parents' attitudes towards day of surgery consent for research. The purpose of the study is to determine the attitudes parents of potential research participants have toward being approached for day of surgery consent. The primary objective is to determine parental attitudes regarding day of surgery consent for anesthesia research. The secondary objective is to determine the boundaries for day of surgery consent (e.g., study types, interventions, risk factors).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderately active ulcerative colitis in adult participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of subcutaneous (SC) administration of amivantamab based on safety and pharmacokinetics and determine a dose, dose regimen and formulation for amivantamab SC delivery.
A Phase 3, randomized, blinded study comparing pelabresib (CPI-0610) and ruxolitinib with placebo and ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis (MF) patients that have not been previously treated with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi). Pelabresib is a small molecule inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins.
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1 study of LY3410738, an oral, covalent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) inhibitor, in patients with IDH1 and/or IDH2-mutant advanced hematologic malignancies who may have received standard therapy
Older adults and those with chronic underlying health conditions are the most susceptible to COVID-19 and its complications. Although there has been a rapid response to studying the effects of COVID-19 in the acute stages, little is known about recovery over the longer-term. Older adults who survive the diseases are at risk of developing persistent mobility limitations due to extensive bed rest during hospitalization. For older patients and those with underlying frailty recovering from COVID-19, this could rapidly lead to significant physical deconditioning and rapid declines in mobility. Understanding the trajectory of functional recovery of older hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in the short- and long-term is critical to improving patient outcomes and informing health and rehabilitative interventions for survivors.
This research study will include patients with high risk locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx and patients that are starting on standard definitive treatment. Patients with both stage III HPV positive and stage III HPV negative will be included. In this study, we aim to evaluate feasibility of ctDNA and/or HPV DNA detection in real time in high-risk LA-HNSCC.
The purpose of this non-interventional extension study is to continue to collect long-term safety and other clinical data for an additional 42 months in participants who completed the PROTECT study.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in pediatric, adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (hereafter referred to as PAYA-CS). Exercise is a cornerstone of CVD prevention and treatment; yet, exercise has not been adopted as a standard of care in PAYA-CS at high CVD risk. The HIMALAYAS trial is designed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary impact of an exercise-based CR on cardiovascular (CV) and psychosocial health, as well as CVD risk, in PAYA-CS with mild heart dysfunction (stage B heart failure (SBHF)). The primary objective of the HIMALAYAS pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a two-phase randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate impact of a 'CR-like' cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) intervention on CV, psychosocial, and behavioural outcomes at 6 and 24 months, compared to behavioural support only (Support) in PAYA-CS. Screened PAYA-CS without SBHF and those with SBHF who do not participate in the RCT will be enrolled in a passive behavioural support (Support) group. The primary outcome is study feasibility, defined according to three primary criteria (i.e., participant recruitment, safety, and adherence). Secondary outcomes include additional feasibility metrics (e.g., intervention safety and tolerability) and exploratory efficacy outcomes including peak cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak), cardiac function (e.g., global longitudinal strain (GLS)), CVD risk factor control (e.g. insulin resistance), and patient-reported outcomes (e.g. anxiety). Our central hypothesis is that the conduct of a larger RCT comparing the impact of CORE versus non-intervention control will be feasible indicated by the achievement of our primary feasibility criteria. Our exploratory hypothesis is that we will generate preliminary evidence that CORE can improve VO2peak, cardiac function, CVD risk factor, and patient-reported outcomes over 6- and 24-month timepoints, relative to control.
BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to understand the role of therapeutic dietary interventions on the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although nutritional observational studies have examined associations between diet and the development of IBD, the relationship between dietary components and disease relapse is lacking. Despite the lack of a well-defined relationship between dietary determinants and disease relapse, patients with IBD frequently have a strong belief that diet has a key role in controlling the course of their disease, and maybe a trigger of disease relapse. This proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) explores the efficacy of a Crohn's Disease (CD) Therapeutic Dietary Intervention (TDI) compared to conventional management (CM) to induce steroid-free clinical remission at week 13 in patients with active, mild-to-moderate luminal CD. For asymptomatic patients with active disease, efficacy of the diet will be explored by using fecal calprotectin and sonographic findings Rationale: Our team of investigators recently compared a representative healthy population to patients with CD and identified CD patients have: lower intakes of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats and multiple micronutrients (vitamins C, D, thiamine magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, potassium), and; few patients with CD met criteria for an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern. Since the diet is a modifiable potential risk factor for disease recurrence in IBD, there is a strong rationale for the investigation of diet on disease course. Additionally, patients have expressed strong interest in identifying the relationships between diet and disease, therefore assigning priority to this theme is an opportunity to advance patient-oriented care.
