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.
Background : Type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of fractures. The mechanisms accounting for this bone fragility are not yet fully understood. The lower bone mineral density (BMD) observed in individuals with type 1 diabetes cannot solely explain the higher fracture incidence. Bone microarchitecture defects significantly contribute to bone fragility. Few studies assessed spine fractures in type 1 diabetes. This cross-sectional multicenter case-control study aims (1) to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic vertebral fractures in individuals with type 1 diabetes in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls; (2) to compare individuals with diabetes with vertebral fractures and those without vertebral fracture using clinical, biochemical and radiological parameters.
Sunnybrook Veterans Centre (VC) is a long-term care (LTC) facility with many elderly residents living with swallowing disorders who are at high risk of developing pneumonia from aspirating food/liquid into their lungs. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) using a hand-held resistance device over a four week intensive program has been shown to have promising results in improving cough function and reducing aspiration during swallowing in older, community-dwelling adults. The purpose of this study is to explore whether a modified slow-stream protocol of EMST over eight weeks is an effective therapy for improving swallowing safety and lung clearance in elderly VC residents with swallowing disorders. Before and after the eight week therapy program, we will measure participants' cough under spirometry, swallowing under videofluoroscopy, and their swallowing-related quality of life and diet texture modification. A three month follow-up visit will measure swallowing-related quality of life again, as well as record incidence of respiratory tract infections requiring antibiotics in the last three months, to be compared with broader institutional data.
A Phase 3b, open-label, single-arm, rollover study to evaluate the long-term safety of luspatercept, to the following participants: - Participants receiving luspatercept on a parent protocol at the time of their transition to the rollover study, who tolerate the protocol-prescribed regimen in the parent trial and, in the opinion of the investigator, may derive clinical benefit from continuing treatment with luspatercept - Participants in the follow-up phase previously treated with luspatercept or placebo in the parent protocol will continue into long-term post-treatment follow-up in the rollover study until the follow-up commitments are met - The study design is divided into the Transition Phase, Treatment Phase and Follow-up Phase. Participants will enter transition phase and depending on their background will enter either the treatment phase or the Long-term Post-treatment Follow-up (LTPTFU) phase - Transition Phase is defined as one Enrollment visit - Treatment Phase: For participants in luspatercept treatment the dose and schedule of luspatercept in this study will be the same as the last dose and schedule in the parent luspatercept study. This does not apply to participants that are in long-term follow-up from the parent protocol - Follow-up Phase includes: - 42 Day Safety Follow-up Visit - During the Safety Follow up, the participants will be followed for 42 days after the last dose of luspatercept, for the assessment of safety-related parameters and adverse event (AE) reporting - Long-term Post-treatment Follow-up (LTPTFU) Phase - Participants will be followed for overall survival every 6 months for at least 5 years from first dose of luspatercept in the parent protocol, or 3 years of post-treatment from last dose, whichever occurs later, or until death, withdrawal of consent, study termination, or until a subject is lost to follow-up. Participants will also be monitored for progression to AML or any malignancies/pre-malignancies. New anticancer or disease related therapies should be collected at the same time schedule Participants transitioning from a parent luspatercept study in post-treatment follow-up (safety or LTPTFU) will continue from the same equivalent point in this rollover study. The rollover study will be terminated, and relevant participants will discontinue from the study when all participants fulfill at least 5 years from the first dose of luspatercept in the parent protocol, or 3 years of post-treatment from last dose, whichever occurs later.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and performance of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder Arthroplasty System in unilateral primary total shoulder arthroplasty.
The primary objective of the PLUTO study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ZENS transcutaneous nerve stimulator device in primary snorers and those with mild obstructive sleep apnea. The study will assess the impact of ZENS on snoring frequency, duration, and other relevant sleep parameters. The intended purpose of the investigational device is to deliver a transcutaneous electrical stimulation signal to the hypoglossal nerve in the "ON" phase in order to alter the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), as well as mean snoring burden (intensity, duration), and to deliver no signal in the "OFF" phase of the study as a means for comparison. Subjects utilizing the ZENS Device will experience a reduction in snoring during the "ON" versus "OFF" phase, as quantified by a reduction in the percentage of time per hour of snoring (≥40 dB) in the active ZENS Device ("ON" phase) versus the inactive ZENS Device ("OFF" phase).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of prosthetic survival of the Acuris conometric concept 1 year after permanent restoration, since this is a new mode of retention using friction for seating the crown of single tooth restorations without using cement or screws.
The Clinical Decision Aid (CDA) is a predictive model that takes as input individual patient characteristics, called 'features', which are inputted by the physician or by patient self-report, and outputs a list of possible treatments, with each treatment associated with a predicted efficacy (likelihood to achieve response and likelihood to achieve remission, each expressed as a percentage). The treatments, which may include any approved treatment for depression, will be presented to the physician who will then make a treatment choice.
Clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Adagio AF Cryoablation System (iCLAS™) in the ablation treatment of symptomatic, persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF). Data will be used to support a pre-market application (PMA)
The open-label Phase Ib portion of this study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant to identify a dose of ipatasertib that can be combined with palbociclib and fulvestrant in the Phase III portion. The randomized Phase III portion of this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) objectives of ipatasertib + palbociclib + fulvestrant compared with placebo + palbociclib + fulvestrant in patients with HR+ HER2-, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who had relapsed during adjuvant endocrine therapy or progressed during the initial 12 months of first-line endocrine therapy in locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer.
Pivotal Summary: The study is designed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System. Continued Access Summary: This study is designed to provide continued access to the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System.
