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 ALSpire Study is a clinical trial evaluating the investigational drug BIIB105 in adults living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The ALSpire Study consists of two parts: - Part 1: 6-month placebo-controlled study. During Part 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BIIB105 or placebo in a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio (depending on the participant's assigned Cohort). - Part 2: up to 3-year long-term open-label extension. During Part 2, all participants receive BIIB105. The objectives of the study are to evaluate: - The safety and tolerability of BIIB105 in people with ALS - What the body does to BIIB105 (also called "pharmacokinetics") - What BIIB105 does to the body (also called "pharmacodynamics") - Whether BIIB105 can slow the worsening of clinical function
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of capivasertib plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus placebo plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT in participants with mHSPC whose tumours are characterised by PTEN deficiency. The intention of the study is to demonstrate that in participants with mHSPC, the combination of capivasertib plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT is superior to placebo plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT in participants with mHSPC characterised by PTEN deficiency with respect to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per 1) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for soft tissue and/or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG3) for bone as assessed by the investigator 2) death due to any cause.
There is a significant drop in physical activity among people with spinal cord injury in the months following discharge from rehabilitation. The ProACTIVE toolkit is a guide to promote physical activity to clients with spinal cord injury that has demonstrated potential to help address this sensitive time frame for physical inactivity. The toolkit was co- developed with 300 physiotherapists, community members with spinal cord injury, and university researchers and has been shown to improve physical activity and fitness in this population. Physiotherapists will refer clients to peer coaches with spinal cord injury who will implement the toolkit. The investigators will assess how well the toolkit is used and its effectiveness to improve physical activity levels.
This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.
This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of crinecerfont versus placebo administered for 24 weeks in approximately 165 adult participants with classic CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The study consists of a 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by 1 year of open-label treatment with crinecerfont. Subsequently, participants may elect to participate in the open-label extension (OLE) period. The duration of participation in the study is approximately 20 months for the core study and will be a variable amount of time per subject for the OLE (estimated to be approximately 3 years).
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel as first-line treatment in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). No statistical hypothesis will be tested in this study.
The safety and efficacy of Oligopin® will be compared against a placebo to evaluate the effect on metabolic risk factors in subjects with metabolic syndrome. During the 84-day study period it is hypothesized that HDL cholesterol will increase and systolic blood pressure will decrease therefore lowering CVD risk factors after supplementation with Oligopin®. Additionally, it is hypothesized that Oligopin® supplementation will reduce fasting glucose levels.
Smoking continues to be a burden to the healthcare system in Canada. It is well-known that smokers suffer more complications and higher risk of mortality after surgery than non-smokers. A quality improvement project at Royal Columbian Hospital recently showed that it is possible to implement a smoking cessation bundle for all current smokers during their preadmission clinic visit. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the bundle was abandoned as it relied heavily on in-person interactions. The investigators wish to study the effect of a structured smoking cessation bundle, delivered remotely, on smoking cessation and postoperative complications. The aim is to determine the feasibility of giving the remotely delivered bundle to elective surgical patients before or around the time of a preadmission clinic visit, and whether it can reduce smoking rates and postoperative complications versus the standard uncoordinated advice.
The study is designed to compare short- and long-term changes in body weight (kg) and subjective well-being in adult females with obesity who have been randomized to receive one of two 6-month treatment conditions: INSPIRE or Small Changes. The Small Changes approach is an evidence-based behavioural weight management program that uses relative and modest changes in nutrition and physical activity to produce a caloric deficit. The INSPIRE program is a modification of the Small Changes program that spends the first four weeks on improving well-being via psychological interventions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the amivantamab and lazertinib combination, compared with osimertinib, in participants with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Exon 19 deletions [Exon 19del] or Exon 21 L858R substitution) positive, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
