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 aim of this study is to answer the question: can the IGAR-Breast safely and effectively perform teleoperative breast biopsies? This is a prospective, pilot trial. 5-10 participants will be selected by the radiologist and the success of biopsy analyzed. In addition the number of adverse events, device events and procedural deviations will be assessed to determine safety and efficacy.
This study will compare DS-8201a to physician choice standard treatment. Participants must have HER2-low breast cancer that has been treated before. Participants' cancer: - Cannot be removed by an operation - Has spread to other parts of the body
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a drug called benralizumab in individuals with severe, poorly controlled asthma with eosinophilic airway inflammation. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that help fight off infections. Some people with asthma have too many eosinophils in their airways and blood, which can cause airway inflammation. Benralizumab is a new drug that is Health Canada approved and has been shown to rapidly eliminate eosinophils. It has been used in patients with severe asthma to improve lung function and reduce flair-ups, also known as exacerbations. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging tool that can look at the structure of the lungs when a subject inhales a xenon gas mixture. In healthy individuals, the gas fills the lungs evenly, but in individuals with lung disease, some of the areas of the lungs are not filled by the gas and the image looks patchy. These patchy areas are called ventilation defects and they contribute to reduced lung function. The goal of the study is to see if treatment with benralizumab will improve these ventilation defects, overall lung function and blood and sputum eosinophil levels. Subjects will receive treatment with benralizumab a total of 3 times, 4 weeks apart. Before and after treatment, subjects will undergo a series of MRI tests, breathing tests, blood and sputum analysis and a series of questionnaires to evaluate daily quality of life. The hypothesis is that ventilation defects will significantly improve after benralizumab treatment, and that this improvement will be different based on how long the patient has had asthma.
The main purpose of this study was to see how GLPG1690 works together with the current standard treatment on your lung function and IPF disease in general. The study also investigated how well GLPG1690 is tolerated (for example if you get any side effects while on study drug).
The aim of this study is to quantify and characterize the outcomes of radiofrequency (RF) ablation after, and the utility of electroanatomical mapping with the Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (hereafter called "HD Grid") and EnSite Precision™ Cardiac Mapping System (SV 2.2 or higher, hereafter called "EnSite Precision") with HD Wave Solution™ voltage mapping (hereafter called "HD Wave Solution") in subjects with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) in real-world clinical settings.
Hemodialysis (HD) patients take more pills per day on average than any other chronically ill patient population. On average, an HD patient takes 19 medications per day, of which 70% may not be appropriate. The reason the medications may not be appropriate is that HD patients are rarely included in clinical trials for new medications and therefore the efficacy and safety data that exists for the general population may not actually apply to them. Tools to guide the re-assessment and discontinuation (deprescribing) of these specific medications that lack evidence for efficacy and safety in HD patients are needed. These tools will help reduce the amount of medications being taken and the potential negative consequences of taking so many medications (e.g. adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, non-adherence, increased risk of cognitive impairment, impaired balance and falls, and increased risk of morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality). Nine medications that are often inappropriately prescribed to HD patients have been identified by the investigators. These medications are: Alpha-1 Blockers, Anticonvulsants, Benzodiazepines & Z-Drugs, Loop Diuretics, Prokinetic Agents, Proton Pump Inhibitors, Quinine, Urate Lowering Agents, and Statins. The investigators developed and validated tools to help medical teams in outpatient HD units with identifying and stopping these medications in their patients. The next step will be to perform a study where test these tools are tested in practice at multiple HD centers across Canada. This initiative should decrease the average number of medications per patient and inappropriate medication use in the HD units where these tools are used. The overall objective of this study is to improve current clinical practice by optimizing medication use and prescribing patterns in the HD units across Canada.
The Hypertension Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines for blood pressure measurement using AOBP recommend against any wait time prior to commencing the measurement. The recent AHA guidelines however call for a 5-minute rest first. In uncontrolled hypertension, AOBP is typically higher than the daytime readings from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), but this is not the case for patients with controlled hypertension.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MT10109L for the treatment of lateral canthal lines (LCL) with or without concurrent treatment of glabellar lines (GL) in participants with moderate to severe LCL and GL.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety (including evaluating side effects) of combination of olaparib and abiraterone versus placebo and abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or new hormonal agents (NHAs) at metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) stage.
This is a global Phase 2b/3 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational study drug (called PF-06651600) in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) who have 50% or greater scalp hair loss. The study is placebo-controlled, meaning that some patients entering the study will not receive active study drug but will receive tablets with no active ingredients (a placebo). This is a dose-ranging study, investigating 5 different dosing regimens. It will be double-blinded, meaning that the sponsor, the study doctors, the staff, and the patients will not know whether a patient is on active study drug (or the dose) or placebo.
