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 most advanced configurations of the Artificial Pancreas (AP) have not yet been demonstrated to sufficiently maximize time in target glycemia. One limitation is the challenge of postprandial glycemic control, which currently requires ongoing patient engagement for accurate and detailed bolus dose estimation for meals. Sodium Glucose Linked Transporter 2 Inhibition (SGLT2i) provides an additional mechanism to attenuate post-prandial glycemic excursion, and may represent a strategy that could further alleviate carbohydrate counting burden and improve the performance of AP configurations. This trial aims to compare - using a randomized, masked placebo-controlled, crossover, multicenter design - the efficacy of the SGLT2i empagliflozin 25 mg oral per day each in the setting of single-hormone automated AP and conventional insulin pump therapy on the proportion of time spent in target and in hypoglycemia each during a 4-week day-and-night period. The pilot trial aims to enroll 28 adult patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) across 2 research sites (one in Toronto and one in Montreal) and includes a 2- week therapy optimization run-in period, 4-weeks for each of the two AP intervention arms, and a 1- week washout in between the pharmacological intervention sequences. Glucose levels will be measured by continuous glucose monitoring (G5, Dexcom Inc.). Insulin will be infused using a subcutaneous infusion pump (t-slim, Tandem Diabetes Care) and communication between pumps and the algorithm will be implemented using Android Smartphone devices and Bluetooth technology communication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antidrug antibody (ADA) response for MEDI8897 in healthy late preterm and term infants who are 35 weeks or greater gestational age and entering their first RSV season.
The presence of short cervix during pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm birth though in many cases women will eventually deliver at term or near term. While there are proven treatments such as cerclage and progesterone that can improve pregnancy outcomes, many women are advised to limit their activity, are put on bed rest, or admitted to hospital for inpatient management. Presently, there is no evidence that hospital admission of women with short cervix is beneficial and prolongs the pregnancy. The investigators propose to examine whether inpatient management results in comparable outcomes to outpatient management for women with short cervix.
Regional anaesthesia combined with general anaesthesia has become common in the perioperative management of breast cancer surgery patients. Regional techniques have been recognised to provide excellent post-operative analgesia. It enhances multi-modal analgesia regimes while being opioid sparing, reducing incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting and allowing earlier mobilisation/discharge and improving treatment success. Therefore identifying the correct regional anaesthetic technique for this group of patients is important in providing optimum peri-operative care.
Patients with high risk breast cancers (any locally advanced breast cancer patient defined as Stages IIB-III [excluding inflammatory breast cancer] with stage IIA being eligible for triple negative and HER2-positive breast cancers) will receive neoadjuvant radiation to any portion of their tumour in three fractions in order to act as an immune primer. Radiation will be delivered to a portion of the tumour in three fractions. The patient will be positioned prone as per the SIGNAL 2.0 protocol. The patient will then go on to standard of care treatment (neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery) followed by whole-breast radiation as needed. Pathologic complete response will be the primary outcome. Immune markers will also be evaluated.
This study evaluates the risk for incident falls and fall-related injuries at the onset of neurocognitive disorders in older adults participating in the Canadian Longitudinal Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of itacitinib in participants with post-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of relatlimab in combination with ipilimumab.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elsubrutinib, upadacitinib (UPA), and ABBV-599 (elsubrutinib/upadacitinib) High Dose and Low Dose combinations vs placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in participants with moderately to severely active SLE and to define doses for further development.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 14-day dosing regimen of ATB-346 at doses of 150 mg, 200 mg and 250 mg compared to placebo in reducing osteoarthritis knee pain as measured by changes in the post-treatment WOMAC subscale pain score relative to each patient's pretreatment baseline WOMAC assessment.Safety will be assessed via measurements of vital signs and clinical laboratory tests at baseline and at various time points during the study, patient monitoring, and by the documentation of adverse events.
