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.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, masked, controlled, parallel group study of 12 months duration in treatment naïve subjects with RVO.
Dabrafenib and trametinib are drugs that are usually given for the treatment of melanoma. Combinations of dabrafenib and trametinib have also been studied and when used together have shown to increase tumour shrinkage in animals compared to either drug alone. Dabrafenib and trametinib have also shown potential to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier when given together and have an effect on brain metastases. Giving these drugs at the same time and then giving brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) may also be preferred in patients with brain metastases
This study is an extension of study I8D-MC-AZES (NCT02245737), the AMARANTH study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug lanabecestat in participants with early Alzheimer's disease dementia at the time of entry into study I8D-MC-AZES.
Cancer-related cognitive Impairment (CRCI), commonly referred to as "chemo brain" or "brain fog"-impact severely on the Quality of Life (QoL) of cancer survivors. However, it still remains underdiagnosed and challenging to treat. One of the treatment options is the use of psychostimulants such as Methylphenidate (MP), but well-designed clinical trials to test its efficacy are limited. We will conduct a phase II study with a mixed method design to explore the preliminary efficacy of MP to improve cognitive function and QoL in breast cancer patients after treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and determine the parameters needed for designing a phase III study.
This study will investigate the effect of structured, standardized aerobic exercise (AE) compared to usual care on clinical recovery from sport-related concussion (SRC) within the post-acute phase of injury. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: (1) Supervised Exercise Group: participants will complete a total of eight exercise sessions over the course of 11 days, starting at Day 3 post-injury (two sessions (first and mid-point) will be done in the lab, and the remained will be home-based sessions); (2) Usual Care Group: individuals will undergo a period of physical rest and standard care. For the purposes of this study, "rest" will be defined as the avoidance of any activities beyond those of daily living, including participation in sport and physical activity.
This study is intended to show that ExAblate™ MRgFUS is a safe procedure that can significantly postpone or eliminate the need of patients with organ confined intermediate risk prostate cancer to undergo a definitive treatment (i.e., Radical Prostatectomy or Radiation therapy) for their disease.
This is a combination Phase I and Phase II study, with an aim to evaluate the combination of GSK525762 and fulvestrant in women with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer, who have disease that has progressed after prior treatment with at least one line of endocrine therapy. The objectives of the study are to first identify, in open-label single-arm Phase I, a recommended Phase II dose of GSK525762 that may be combined safely with fulvestrant. Phase I will follow a modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI) design, and a sentinel group will be evaluated first for dose-limiting toxicity and further expanded to collect additional safety data. This will be followed by a double-blind, randomized controlled Phase II, to identify the clinical activity of the two study treatments when given in combination. The composition of Phase II will be selected at the end of Phase I.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fremanezumab (TEV-48125), in the prevention of CCH in adult participants.
Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (NOH) is clinically defined as a consistent drop in systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥30mmHg upon standing from a seated or lying position. However, 50% of NOH patients also have associated supine hypertension. It has been proposed that supine hypertension is the result of intact post-ganglionic sympathetic nerves and therefore due to residual sympathetic tone. Furthermore, research investigating the effects of melatonin shows blood pressure implication of this naturally secreted hormone. Specifically, melatonin has been investigated as a non-traditional anti-hypertensive agent for patients with essential and nocturnal hypertension. Central and peripheral mechanisms have been proposed to help explain how melatonin reduces blood pressures. Therefore, we aim to identify NOH patients as having either intact or denervated post-ganglionic sympathetic nerves, monitor the correlation to supine hypertension and subsequently investigate the effects of melatonin on blood pressure in these patients.
This study will clarify the clinical usefulness of Tolvaptan therapy in patients with complicated acute decompensated heart failure and hyponatremia (low blood sodium).
