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 ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate is produced during prolonged fasting or when endogenous carbohydrate stores are depleted and can be used as an alternative fuel source. Exogenous beta-hydroxybutyrate, in the form of a ketone monoester, is proposed to have glucose-lowering potential but this has not been adequately studied. The purpose of this study is to determine whether supplementing with an acute dose of ketone monoester can improve the glycemic response to a high carbohydrate mixed meal in young healthy individuals.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of re-induction with Nivolumab combined with ipilimumab.
The present research protocol will analyze whether a short-term modification (one week) of dietary habits would have an impact on the postprandial metabolism of dietary fatty acids and on their uptake by non-adipose tissues, in healthy subjects. Each subject will participate in two protocols randomly determined and separated by a period of one month: a 7-day isocaloric diet (Protocol A) and a 7-day carbohydrate-rich diet containing +50% of the subject's energy needs. (Protocol B). At the end of each diet, the subject will go through a postprandial metabolic study of 8 hours where different parameters will be measured thanks to PET imaging and perfusions of stables isotopes.
The purpose of this study is to collect information from study participants who develop an invasive disease caused by Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) during a period of 12 months. This information will be used to support the development of a new vaccine to prevent ExPEC infections.
The CREDE pilot randomized study will compare the intraoperative Crede manoeuver (M1) to preoperative prolapse (POP) reduction cough stress test (M2) for the prediction and prevention of PONSUI. The rates of PONSUI and its effect on patient reported outcomes and quality of life will be determined among women with positive or negative tests, and those with and without concomitant anti-incontinence procedure performed. This information will help inform larger studies on the topic.
Our study first aims to develope a realistic cadaver model of hemoptysis based on Thiel's embalmed cadavers. Secondly, participants will intubate the hemoptysis cadaver model with (a) the direct laryngoscopy with MacIntosh blade, (b) the videolaryngoscopy with McGrath XBlade and (c) the videolaryngoscopy with McGrath XBlade and a suction advance before the optic of the camera. We hypothesis that, in simulated hemoptysis on the Thiel's embalmed cadaver, the rate of failed intubation at first try will be different depending on the laryngoscope used.
The investigators will link MedSafer (a Canadian-made electronic tool) with a large multi-national electronic medical record (EMR), MED e-care, through an existing application programming interface (API) that provides clinicians with electronic, patient-specific deprescribing reports. They will implement a highly scalable deprescribing intervention in a staged and controlled fashion across five Canadian Aged Care Facilities. The investigators aim to test the feasibility of the API for the purposes of generating real time automated deprescribing reports, displayed to the user in the EMR.
Here, the investigators will develop a clinicopathomic assay from biomarkers obtained from digital pathologies of resected whole-mount oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC and OPSCC) specimens with the goal of administering personalized novel image-guided therapies immediately after primary surgical management in OCSCC and OPSCC patients. The primary aim is to determine the association between clinicopathomic biomarkers and LRR. The secondary aim is to develop a clinicopathomic risk score (assay) such that a decision-support tool can be used by physicians for measuring the benefit of additional therapies (i.e. conventional chemotherapy +/- radiation or administering dose-escalated chemoradiation) in the adjuvant setting to reduce LRR rates.
No substantial clinical trials of Cannabidiol (CBD) in Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) have yet been conducted. This randomized doubleblind, placebo-controlled trial of CBD in adults with SAD will evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of CBD oil (CHI-902) in SAD. In addition, the effects of treatment with CHI-902 on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) will be assessed by evaluating peripheral endocannabinoids (Arachidonoylethanolamide/Anandamide (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG)) before and after treatment.
To assess the long term safety and efficacy of treatment with BI 655130 in patients with AD who have completed and have responded to treatment in the parent study 1368-0032
