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.
To establish the safety and effectiveness of the Boston Scientific Cardiac Cryoablation System for treatment of symptomatic, drug refractory, recurrent, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
Children with cancer are vulnerable to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Although screening for psychosocial distress is a standard of care for children with cancer, there is a limited knowledge
In an effort to engage more HIV-infected PWUD into care, and ensure treatment adherence and efficacy, simplification of older, multi-tablet regimens is required. Newer, more potent molecules can also overcome resistant that has persisted with previous regimens, while simultaneously providing a high barrier to resistance. The co-formulation of B/F/TAF is a viable switch-option for patients who have experienced lower adherence with previous regimens due to high pill burden, or for those requiring a more potent regimen due to emergent resistances. The formal evaluation of B/F/TAF in this context will allow us to optimize care for HIV-infected PWUD.
Obesity and diabetes are linked to increased risk for health problems such as heart attack, stroke, and death. At the cellular level, obesity and diabetes increase levels of harmful inflammatory cells (M1 macrophages) and decreases levels of protective stem cells (circulating progenitor cells) in the blood. Bariatric (weight loss) surgery is an effective treatment that leads to significant weight loss and improved health in patients with obesity. However, it is unknown if weight loss surgery also replenishes healthy stem cells and decreases inflammatory cells in the body. Therefore, the purpose of this research study is to compare levels of these stem and inflammatory cells before and after bariatric surgery, and to compare to a control group of healthy normal weight participants. The investigators anticipate that inflammatory cell levels will be reduced and stem cell levels and function will be restored after bariatric surgery, similar to levels of healthy normal weight individuals.
Rationale: There is currently no observational study or randomized clinical trial published evaluating the impact of early versus late mobilization in the upper extremity after split thickness skin autograft. As the current post-operative care protocols vary based on physician preference, evidence is needed to optimize post-operative rehabilitation protocols guided by evidence which optimize wound healing, extremity range of motion, graft site pain, as well as minimize risks of complications and length of stay in hospital. Objective: To determine if early mobilization is non-inferior to late mobilization of the upper extremity after split thickness skin autograft with regards to wound healing measured as percent graft take on post-operative day 5 in adult burn patients.
This study is to determine the feasibility of an n-of-1, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled case series to examine effects of extended release opioids when used at intervals shorter than recommended by the manufacturer by people with chronic pain.
A broad range of prognostic and predictive tools are available for patients with newly diagnosed early stage breast cancer. These range from free and publicly available mathematical algorithms, through to expensive genomic tests. It is not known how the use of these different scores affects physician decision making with respect to ordering genomic tests, nor how well these algorithms predict for the results of Oncotype DX ® in the real-world setting. This pragmatic study will help to answer these questions.
PINNACLE is a prospective, multi-center, randomized control clinical trial to establish the safety and efficacy of the Optilume™ BPH Catheter System in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
This project will examine whether a health promotion campaign using community organizing and joint advocacy by a coalition of tenants, health providers, social service agencies and advocates can lead to improvements in building conditions and health in social housing.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of tilpisertib (formerly GS-4875) compared with placebo control in achieving clinical remission per modified Mayo Clinic Score (MCS) in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
