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 compare nivolumab plus neoadjuvant gemcitabine/cisplatin (GC) chemotherapy, followed by post-surgery continuation of immuno-oncology (IO) therapy, with neoadjuvant GC chemotherapy alone in adult participants with previously untreated muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
Patients on hemodialysis treatment experience increased levels of cardiovascular disease. In this study, investigators will be detecting hemodialysis induced circulatory stress using the CVInsight Patient Monitoring & Informatics System - InteloMed. This system consists of the CVInsight non-contact device and the CVInsight contact device that measures a patient's response to dialysis by looking at many physiological parameters such as heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and how much oxygen the blood is carrying. Investigators would like to validate the mobile CVInsight non-contact device to the currently used standard CVInsight contact device to provide healthcare providers with a better understanding of its role in early detection of cardiovascular stress induced by hemodialysis.
This phase II trial studies the effects of the combination of olaparib and durvalumab, cediranib and durvalumab, olaparib and capivasertib, and cediranib alone in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Olaparib, cediranib, and capivasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Testing the combinations may lower the chance of endometrial cancer growing or spreading compared to usual care.
A pilot study to explore the metabolic effect and safety of a 3-week course of therapy with MET-3 in obese subjects
The proposed trial is a non-randomized, single-arm study examining the technical feasibility and safety of magnetic occult lesion localization and imaging (MOLLI) for Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS), in patients with non-palpable lesions. All patients who have an area of concern in the breast and are identified by their physician as good candidates for BCS are eligible to participate. All patients will undergo standard radioactive seed localization (RSL) for intraoperative surgical guidance concurrently with MOLLI localization. The feasibility trial will take place exclusively at a tertiary care institution (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) over a 1-year period. The primary endpoint of this study is to measure the success rate of localizing the MOLLI seed.
This is a phase I, non-blinded, non-randomized, pilot trial for safety and efficacy of DBS for AUD. Patients who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be identified and recruited from the practices of Sunnybrook psychiatrists. Five (5) to ten (10) subjects will be enrolled and study duration for each patient will be of one (1) year. Our primary objective is to establish the safety of DBS in a patient population with treatment refractory AUD. In addition to demonstrating safety, our second primary objective will be to evaluate if DBS-targeted nucleus accumbens in alcoholism is efficacious in the treatment-refractory patients with AUD. This will be measured by various outcome measures that will include validated scales to assess addiction and craving behaviours.
Each year over 20,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada with the majority undergoing some form of treatment option. Radical prostatectomy and/or radiation therapy are common procedures that are effective in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, they typically incur both short- and long-term side effects (e.g. urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, reduced physical function, etc) that can negatively impact one's quality of life. This study aims to educate and teach pre- (as opposed to most common post-) habilitation - preventive life habits aimed to empower men and address many of the issues faced by men undergoing radical prostatectomy or other active forms of prostate cancer treatments. The investigators hypothesize that daily text and email reminders, in addition to connecting men with other men undergoing similar challenges, will improve participant adherence to the pre-habilitation program. Secondary objectives will assess change in mental health, physical fitness, urological symptoms, state of relaxation, and quality of life parameters before and after the program.
The purpose of this study is to determine dose-dependent effects of Vitabeard on various parameters of facial hair growth.
Open Label Extension Study to evaluate long term safety and persistence of effect of A4250 in children with PFIC.
Hypoglycemia is the main barrier for physical activity practice of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). For postprandial exercise, anticipation with meal insulin bolus reduction is the recommended method to reduce exercise-associated hypoglycemic risk. The impact of faster acting Aspart (FiAsp) pharmacokinetic on hypoglycemic risk has not yet been explored. This study will explore two different timings for exercise onset. Objective: To compare the impact of rapid-acting insulin Aspart and faster acting Aspart (FiAsp) on glucose reduction during exercise. Design: This study is a randomized, four-way, crossover study to compare the efficacy of 1) rapid-acting insulin Aspart, and 2) FiAsp on glucose reduction during an exercise performed 60 minutes or 120 minutes after breakfast. The insulin used and the timing of the exercise will be randomized. This project will be conducted at Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM, Montreal, Canada). Hypothesis: Faster acting Aspart (FiAsp) will be non-inferior to insulin Aspart for hypoglycemic risk.
