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 project is to determine whether participants who receive a personalized feedback report and educational materials about risky cannabis use will be less likely to report risky cannabis use at follow-up compared to participants who only received educational materials.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Viltolarsen compared to placebo in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of chronic treatment with β1-adrenergic antagonist on the NOL index variation, the heart rate variation and the mean blood pressure variation after a standardized noxious stimulus.
This open-label study is designed to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of a new depot formulation of goserelin, Pepti 10.8mg, in ambulatory patients with carcinoma of the prostate who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is a candidate for androgen deprivation therapy, after a single injection. Secondarily, it is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety profile and PSA response of this new formulation.
Primary Objective: To determine whether amcenestrant per overall survival (os) improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared with an endocrine monotherapy of the choice of the physician, in participants with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer Secondary Objectives: - To compare the overall survival in the 2 treatment arms - To assess the objective response rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the disease control rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the duration of response in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the PFS according to the estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutation status in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant as single agent - To evaluate health-related quality of life in the 2 treatment arms - To compare the overall safety profile in the 2 treatment arms
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of twice daily inhaled doses of BI 1265162 delivered by Respimat® inhaler versus placebo in adolescents and adult patients with cystic fibrosis.
Over the past two decades, the misuse of prescription opioids has significantly increased. A recent systematic review reported as much as 67% to 92% of opioids dispensed on discharge post-surgery go unused. This culture of overprescribing is consistently observed across surgical specialties. Less frequently observed is the potential for opioid use and misuse in children and adolescents post-surgery. The research to date in this area has been poorly performed with heterogenous data collection, analysis and reporting, as well as large loss of patients to follow-up. The investigators' previous prospective observational deception study identified three areas of concern: 1. There is a culture of postoperative opioid over-prescribing at discharge as demonstrated by heterogenous opioid dosing and duration of treatments across practitioners for single procedures 2. This overprescribing is in excess of patients' home-requirements and results in significant quantities of leftover opioids 3. There is a culture of inappropriate storage and lack of safe disposal of prescribed opioids in the community
The purpose of this study is to continue to assess safety and tolerability, and to allow continued access to study treatment for subjects already receiving spartalizumab as single agent or in combination with other study treatments.
A hospital-based cluster stratified randomization control study will be conducted to investigate spinal growth in Early Onset Scoliosis patients between 5 and 9 years of age. Patients must have a major coronal curve measuring over 50 degrees and be undergoing Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod treatment. We will be studying 6-week lengthening intervals compared to 16-week lengthening intervals on spinal growth within 3 years.
Persons living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) remain with inflammation leading to higher risks of cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver and cancer. It has been observed in colitis and in HIV infection that abnormal composition of the gut microbes and leaky gut induce inflammation contributing to diabetes, fatty liver and cardiovascular risks. Abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila in stool, a type of good bacteria acting as a shield on the gut barrier has been shown to prevent obesity, diabetes and to improve cancer treatment response. Health food (prebiotic) increases the frequency of A. muciniphila in overweight individuals. Dr Marette, a study collaborator from Laval University, has recently published (Gut, 2018) that an extract from a Brazilian fruit called Camu Camu (CC) protects mice from obesity, reduce LPS, a marker for passage of microbes from the gut into the blood and decreases inflammation in association with the frequency of A. muciniphila in stools. The extract of CC is sold in nutritional stores to regulate body fat. The investigators will invite 22 participants to take 2 capsules of CC daily for 12 weeks in addition to their ART. CC tolerance and changes in blood and stools for inflammation and microbe composition will be evalutated at the end of the 12-week treatment and 8 weeks post-intake. An optional sub study will assess the changes of gut barrier by doing biopsies by colonoscopy. CC is expected to beassociated with an enrichment of A. muciniphila in stools, combined with reduced gut damage and inflammation.
