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 study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of etelcalcetide (AMG 416) compared with placebo in the treatment of SHPT in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis.
To our knowledge, no trial has specifically studied the effect of liraglutide combined with a basal/bolus insulin regimen in type 1 diabetes in a cross-over, double-blind, unicentric model. Moreover, the potential impact of a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist on measures of abdominal fat (assessed by CT scan), insulin sensitivity (assessed by the gold standard euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp) and satiety sensations have not been evaluated in this population. Hypothesis Overweight participants with type 1 diabetes on liraglutide/insulin treatment will present improved glucose control with decreased HbA1c, decreased fasting and mean weekly glucose concentrations and glycemic excursions as well as increased insulin sensitivity compared to participants on placebo/insulin treatment. Participants with liraglutide/insulin treatment will also present improved endothelial function, lower body weight, central adipose tissue assessed by CT scan and higher satiety sensations assessed by visual analogue scales.
The purpose of this phase Ib/II clinical trial was to: a) evaluate the safety of the co-administration of LDE225 and INC424 in myelofibrosis patients and establish a maximum tolerated dose and/or Recommended Phase II dose of the combination and b) to assess the efficacy of the co-administration of LDE225 and INC424 on spleen volume reduction.
xTAG RPP assay is a PCR-based assay to detect the presence or absence of viral and bacterial DNA / RNA in clinical specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs). The objective of this study is to establish diagnostic accuracy of the xTAG RPP.
This is the first study of oral tofacitinib in adults with active ankylosing spondylitis. It is designed to obtain information on the efficacy and safety of 3 different doses of tofacitinib.
The primary objectives of this study are (i) to select an oral modified release (MR) formulation and dose of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic twice daily (BID) dosing in adults with heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and (ii) to characterize its pharmacokinetics (PK) over 20 weeks of treatment.
Total shoulder surgeries are associated with considerable postoperative pain which may prevent rehabilitation and early discharge from the hospital. Continuous interscalene blocks with home infusions are commonly performed for pain relief following total shoulder arthroplasties. We want to evaluate the time to readiness for discharge following interscalene blocks in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasties.
This study is designed to describe the long-term safety and efficacy of etelcalcetide (AMG 416) for the treatment of SHPT in adults with CKD on hemodialysis.
This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of etelcalcetide compared with placebo in the treatment of SHPT in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis.
Healthy Lifestyles for Children with Complex Heart Problems is a planning and resource development project. The goal of the project is to develop an implementation plan that would enable children with complex heart problems to lead healthy, active lives within their own community. The primary goal of the project is to promote physical activity, because the physical and mental health benefits of activity are very important for these children. Children with complex heart problems have a higher risk for obesity, diabetes, acquired heart disease and mental health problems than their healthy peers. The physical health benefits of physical activity are well known, but physical activity is also key for children's mental health. Physical activity enables children to socialize with peers and create bonds and friendships. Physical activity participation also directly elevates mood through the release of brain chemicals. Children with complex heart problems are also known to experience fear and anxiety related to physical activity. This project will also develop strategies to promote healthy eating and the prevention of physical activity-related injuries to these children and their families. Children with complex heart problems are at higher risk of overweight and obesity and face unique injury risks related to pacemakers or their medications. Extensive consultations with families and caregivers have identified needed supports for physical activity lifestyles, mental health, healthy eating and injury prevention for these children. The goal of the interviews was to understand the positive and negative influences on physical activity and healthy lifestyles for these children. Analyses of the interview content was used to develop a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan to provide the supports necessary for children with complex heart problems to lead active, healthy lives in their own community, with their family and friends. The implementation plan specifies changes to family education and counselling resources, clinical care routines, and communication among professionals and families. The clinical trial will evaluate the impact of implementing the family supports and changes to practice previously developed. Surveys will be completed by families attending the cardiac clinic before and after the changes to practice and additional resources are made available. Interviews will be utilized to gather additional feedback from professionals and families that receive counselling utilizing the supplementary materials.
