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 primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of TV-46000. The primary safety and tolerability endpoint is the frequency of all adverse events, including serious adverse events. For new participants, the total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be up to 80 weeks (including a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a 12-week oral conversion/stabilization stage [Stage 1], a 56-week double-blind maintenance stage [Stage 2], and a follow-up period [8 weeks]). For roll-over participants, the total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be up to 64 weeks (including up to 56 weeks in the maintenance stage [Stage 2] and a follow-up period [8 weeks]). Participants who started Stage 2 who relapse or meet 1 or more of the withdrawal criteria should be invited to perform the Early Termination visit as soon as possible within 4 weeks of the last injection. Participants who withdraw from the study before completing the 56-week maintenance stage will have follow-up procedures and assessments performed at their follow-up visits. During the follow-up period, participants will be treated according to the investigator's judgment. All participants will be treated with active drug.
Attrition of skills after basic life support (BLS) training is common. Psychology studies have established that for basic memory recall tasks, spaced learning strategies improve retention. Spaced learning is often organized as a refresher or 'booster' course after initial training. This study aims to investigate if this principle holds true for BLS skills, which require rapid memory recall and efficient deployment of procedural skills while under time pressure.
Rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is the most common shoulder disorder and its chronicization leads to multiple consequences such as early retirement, absenteeism from work, decreased participation and quality of life and expensive yearly healthcare costs (128 739 687 $ according to CNESST). Even though scientific evidence has shown that prioritising physiotherapy exercises over surgery for the initial management of RCRSP is a great way to save on healthcare costs without compromising quality, it does not always result in a resolution of symptoms and patients' quality of life can still be affected thereafter: up to 30% of people with RCRSP remain symptomatic despite rehabilitation interventions. This lack of therapeutic success could be explained by a multitude of factors, but a central issue that can explain a lack of improvement is an inappropriate dosage or choice of exercises prescribed. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 non-operative methods of delivering shoulder management (2 types of exercises and an advice and education only group) on symptoms and functional limitations for people with RCRSP. Results from this project should help us further our knowledge on which non-operative treatment to promote with patients presenting with RCRSP, thus decreasing the proportion of individuals experiencing pain even after going through a rehabilitation program.
This is a prospective longitudinal study which aims to compare oculomotor function and visual scanning behaviour (VSB) of participants who suffered concussion with healthy controls with no concussion. This study also aims to investigate the pattern of change in oculomotor function and visual scanning behaviour (VSB) in the participants over a 6-month period.
Accrue samples for the further development and clinical validation of a blood-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay as a potential biomarker for early non-response to therapy in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer (BC).
The study compares the effectiveness of treatment with MitraClip to medical therapy in improving the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and functional capacity at 24 months, in patients with moderate functional mitral regurgitation.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition of the hip where there is a mis-fit between the femoral head (ball) and hip acetabulum (socket). The abnormalities on the hip bones collide or "impinge" during movements such as hip flexion and rotation. Typically, patients with this condition are young adults who present with hip pain, loss of hip function, and in many cases, osteoarthritis later in life. The rate of diagnoses of FAI has dramatically risen across all age groups, but it has been especially notable within adolescent populations. There has been a corresponding increase in the number of surgeries performed on younger and younger hips to treat pain and loss of function due to this condition. Preliminary small-scale research has hypothesized that increased activity, such as sport specialization (i.e. playing only one sport for most of the year) at an early age when the hip is still developing, may be the cause. In the past 20 years, sport injuries among children have dramatically increased, where close to 45 million young athletes participate in organized sports annually in Canada and the US alone. There is a current trend among coaches and parents to have children focus on one sport with the thought that this dedication will allow them to reach an elite level. We are proposing the first international, longitudinal cohort study to determine the effect of sport specialization on the development of FAI during the critical phase of hip development (i.e. between the ages of 12-14 years). Volunteer participants will be recruited across Canada and internationally and will be evaluated clinically and radiographically (i.e. using MRI) over 2 years. This study will not only prospectively evaluate the role of sport activity the development of FAI, but also inform preventative training protocols to potentially reduce its incidence among adolescents, and later as adults, as well as identify parameters to detect hips that are at risk for developing FAI.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of JNJ-70033093 in preventing total venous thromboembolism (VTE) events (proximal and/or distal deep vein thrombosis [DVT] [asymptomatic confirmed by venography assessment or objectively confirmed symptomatic], nonfatal pulmonary embolism [PE], or any death) during the treatment period.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who completed 1 of the 4 Phase 3 Bimatoprost SR studies (192024-091, -092, -093, or -095) and received Bimatoprost SR or who received commercial DURYSTA (Bimatoprost SR) in the open-label Phase 4 ARGOS study (MED-MA-EYE-0648) and completed (or exited early from) the study.
This study will evaluate the outcomes of the combination of chronic pain self-management support with opioid deprescription, improve our understanding of the experiences and perspectives of patients and healthcare providers with this approach, and determine the characteristics of people on opioids in primary care to inform future research and implementation of this approach
