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 will evaluate intrapleural administration of Adenovirus-Delivered Interferon Alpha-2b (rAd-IFN) in combination with Celecoxib and Gemcitabine in patients with histologically confirmed Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) who have failed a minimum of 1 treatment regimen and a maximum of 2 treatment regimens, 1 of which must have been an anti-folate and platinum combination regimen. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to either: 1. Treatment group: rAd-IFN + Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine 2. Control group: Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine Patients randomized to the treatment group will receive rAd-IFN administered into the pleural space via an Intrapleural catheter (IPC) or similar intrapleural device on study Day 1. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) associated with rAd IFN, when administered with celecoxib and gemcitabine, versus that associated with celecoxib and gemcitabine alone for the treatment of patients with MPM
The investigators aim to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a pre-meal snack to reduce the postprandial glycemia (PPG) excursion after a breakfast consumption in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The investigators also want to investigate the impact of a postprandial exercise to reduce the PPG excursion. An improvement in PPG excursions can improve the condition of CF patients primarily by delaying the onset of cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) and / or by reducing the risk of lung function loss.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of a walking epidural protocol in our center. This study will provide a small data set for a larger prospective randomized controlled study. Hypothesis: Walking a minimum of 15 minutes per hour will decrease the incidence of instrumental deliveries (forceps and vacuum) in women presenting in spontaneous or induced labor with neuraxial analgesia. Before testing this hypothesis in a randomized controlled study, the feasibility of this protocol needs to be assessed since allowing laboring women to ambulate while receiving neuraxial analgesia is not the standard-of-care at our institution.
The degree to which endurance exercise performance is diminished in acute hypoxia is variable and appears to be the result of several different physiological processes, however this research focuses on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Sildenafil, a pulmonary vasodilator, has been used with mixed results to improve athletic performance in hypoxia. Because sildenafil has been shown to reduce HPV in some individuals, we believe that its effectiveness is closely related to the magnitude of the HPV response and the degree that individual exercise performance declines in hypoxia. This research will investigate the relationship between sildenafil, HPV, and exercise performance.
The study design is a single-subject ABA clinical trial that is investigating the feasibility including adherence, safety and tolerability of metformin in children aged 5 to 18 years with cerebral palsy (CP). ABA refers to Phase A1 with no metformin, Phase B with metformin, and Phase A2 with no metformin. Secondarily, the study is exploring whether metformin has possible health benefits for improving motor function and cognition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TRC101 on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate the safety profile of TRC101 in CKD patients with metabolic acidosis.
The intervention proposed for this project aims to improve the practice of physical activity (PA) for people with type 2 diabetes by increasing their motivation using a portable device to monitor PA (FitBit). This study will provide preliminary data to assess the feasibility of the intervention, its acceptability for patients with type 2 diabetes, and its potential impact of PA motivation and PA level.
This is a longitudinal, observational study of adult patients with genetically confirmed chromosome 5q SMA to examine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) for up to 30 months.
This trial will evaluate safety and tolerability of letetresgene autoleucel (GSK3377794) with or without pembrolizumab in participants with non-small cell lung cancer.
A study to learn about safety and find out maximum tolerable dose of palbociclib given in combination with chemotherapy (temozolomide with irinotecan or topotecan with cyclophosphamide) in children, adolescents and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (phase 1). Neuroblastoma tumor specific cohort to further evaluate antitumor activity of palbociclib in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma. Phase 2 to learn about the efficacy of palbociclib in combination with irinotecan and temozolomide when compared with irinotecan and temozolomide alone in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory Ewing sarcoma (EWS).
