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.
Due to recent efforts to decrease antibiotic overuse, and reports of high rates of spontaneous resolution for clinically diagnosed Acute Otitis Media(AOM), most physicians now wait 48-72 hours before starting antibiotics for common ear infections. The investigators are interested to see if those patients with documented middle ear effusions, as determined by tympanometry, have higher rates of eventual antibiotic usage than those with normal tympanometry results. If there is a significant disparity between those with a positive tympanogram and those without the investigators may be able to identify a group that will benefit from antibiotics and a group that would not need treatment.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate stool consistency and stool frequency during and up to 8 weeks following a 7 day antibiotic treatment with Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid 875mg BID.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
The study will assess the efficacy and safety of SPARC1310 when compared to placebo and active control
Goal: The development of a Treadmill Rehabilitation Platform (TRP) for task-orientated rehabilitation that provides an adapted, blended approach among older adults with balance, mobility, and cognitive impairments. Study Objective: Examine the feasibility and benefits of a novel dual-task intervention to address mobility and cognitive decline with age using engaging interactive video games during treadmill walking and recumbent cycling.This will include evaluation of the effects of two interventions, one using treadmill walking and the second a recumbent cycle ergometer on 1. Core balance 2. Cardiac fitness, exercise endurance 3. Gaze control 4. Gait performance measure (walking stability and spatial-temporal gait parameters) 5. Specific executive cognitive function (processing speed, cognitive inhibition, working memory) 6. Dual task function during treadmill walking Hypothesis: 1. Dual-task exercise program will improve core balance and walking function to a greater extent in the Treadmill walking group compared to recumbent cycle group. 2. Executive function will improve equally in both the treadmill walking and recumbent cycle group. 3. Dual task exercise programs will have significant effect on gaze stability and cardiac fitness equally for both the treadmill and recumbent cycling groups.
The purpose of this randomised controlled trial is to compare a new standardised summary format for presentation of synthesised evidence from systematic reviews for the public (a new plain language summary format) to the current format used in Cochrane systematic reviews. The study will evaluate if the new presentation improves understanding about the benefits and harms of an intervention, if it improves the accessibility of the information, and if it is preferred over other versions by the public over the current format.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of oral Ixazomib as measured by overall response rate (ORR) in adult participants with relapsed and/or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL).
Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate which is not digested in the human small intestine. Whole grains are a source of dietary fiber that are used to promote health; however, using whole grains in commercial products results in a different taste and/or texture than the usual products made from refined grains. Thus, other types of high-fiber ingredients have been developed which can be incorporated into food products with less effect on their taste and/or texture. An example of this is resistant starch, defined as starch which is not digested in the human small intestine. The digestibility of starch is usually determined in-vitro; however, there is evidence that such methods may overestimate the amount of resistant starch by as much as 100%. The measurement of the amount of carbohydrate in the ileal effluent, digestive waste, of subjects with an ileostomy is considered to be the best in-vivo method of starch digestibility. The subjects collect ileal effluent during the day during which time they consume a polysaccharide-free diet. There is evidence that resistant starch consumed at breakfast is completely recovered in ileal effluent 8-10hr after consumption. The purpose of this study will be to compare the carbohydrate content recovered in ileal effluent of 10 subjects with a conventional ileostomy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the immediate and long term (up to 5 years) immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' MenACWY-TT vaccine when given as a single dose or as 2 doses to toddlers aged 12 to 14 months. Also, this study will also assess if co-administration of GSK Biologicals' MenACWY-TT with the booster dose of Pfizer's Prevenar 13 adversely impacts the immunogenicity of either of the vaccines.
