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 purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between sebum excretion rate and the following factors: - Hormone levels (testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) - Expression of 5-α-reductase type 1 (a protein in sebaceous glands that transforms a hormone (testosterone) into another one that strongly stimulates sebum production) - Diet - Sun and ultraviolet light exposure. - Facial washing routine - Sleep patterns (time when you start sleeping and total sleep time) This study will analyze the relationship between sebum excretion rate and the various factors that may influence it in approximately 40 subjects. It will be conducted in one center located in Montreal. All devices are known and have already been used in the past.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belimumab in adult patients with active lupus nephritis.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the outcomes of pneumatic retinopexy with the outcomes of vitrectomy (with or without scleral buckle) for the management of retinal detachment, in terms of anatomical success, functional success and impact on patient quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether brushing the teeth of nursing home residents with a power toothbrush as compared with standard care typically provided in nursing homes, will increase caregiver compliance with the provision of daily oral care as well as lower oral and systemic inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term performance of the DF4 Connector System. This evaluation is based on the number of DF4 lead-related complications occurring during the study compared to the number of leads enrolled in the study. The DF4 systems will be followed for 5 years after implant. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the DF4 Connector Systems. This study is conducted within Medtronic's post-market surveillance platform.
Patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy that have been referred for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) will have their CRT devices implanted using an image guided treatment plan for optimal lead delivery. The validation of image-guided CRT lead delivery will significantly advance the field of heart failure therapy.
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) are catheters that are placed mainly in the arms, but which pass in the veins to beside the heart. They are associated with occasional complications due to infection or blockage of the vein that they are in. The investigators want to investigate whether PICCs in the right arm have lower complications than those in the left. This difference in complication rates has been noticed in most other forms of central venous access.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of immunosuppression withdrawal (ISW) in pediatric liver transplant (tx) recipients.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is an increase in dopamine levels in the human striatum following an oral administration of alcohol, as has been evidenced in animal models. This will be a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) study using the radiotracer, [11C]-(+)-PHNO (11C]-( + )-4-propyl- 3,4,4a,5,6,10b-hexahydro-2H-naphtho[1,2-b][1,4]oxazin-9-ol).
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of mirabegron 50 mg versus (vs) solifenacin 5 mg in the treatment of patients with OAB who were dissatisfied with their treatment due to lack of efficacy.
