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 is an observational study that aims to advance our knowledge on infantile onset FSHD. The study will include 50 participants of all ages who have presented with symptoms of FSHD between birth and 10 years of age. Study participation will involve a single day of assessments at one of the participating CINRG centers (to include physical exam, cognitive testing, eye exam, hearing test, strength testing and speech evaluations). The procedures may be split over additional days for scheduling purposes.
The cyclotron production model of Tc-99m pertechnetate (CPERT) has received significant validation in the independent expert review conducted by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) in the follow up to the Chalk River crisis. The University of Alberta's Edmonton PET Centre and the Edmonton Radiopharmaceutical Centre is a cyclotron / radiopharmacy unit, providing a safe, cost effective, unsubsidized, and reliable supply of radiopharmaceuticals to hospitals and clinics in Edmonton and northern Alberta. A Phase I study is proposed to show safety of CPERT as well as comparability with generator-produced Tc-99m pertechnetate (GPERT) in subjects with well differentiated thyroid carcinoma post-thyroidectomy and prior to planned I-131 Iodide treatment.
This is a multicenter, retrospective, observational study to validate a pharmacogenetics model for imatinib metabolism and resistance in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia among patients in different independent cohort.
The study investigates assisted nerve blocks using an ultrasound machine.
This study will examine SPD489 in subjects aged 18-65 with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are taking certain types of antidepressants but continue to have residual depression symptoms. Eligible patients will remain on their antidepressant but will be randomized to either receive supplemental SPD489 or placebo (i.e. sugar pill). The purpose of this study is to help answer the following questions: - How safe is SPD489 for the supplemental treatment of depression and what are the side effects that might be related to it? - Can supplemental SPD489 help patients who still have residual depression symptoms while taking an antidepressant? - How much SPD489 should be given to patients with depression who are also taking an antidepressant? - How does SPD489 compare to placebo in depressed patients who are also taking an antidepressant?
The investigators propose to study amoxicillin absorption in a 2-stage program that will progressively produce, for the first time, information leading to pediatric pharmacology recommendations for the administration to children of amoxicillin dissolved in human milk. The investigators study will enroll adult volunteers as number of blood extractions, volume of blood required and subject availability, among other issues, generate a number of ethical and logistical constraints that make it almost impossible to carry such an intensive sampling study in infants.
The purpose of this study is: - To compare blood sugar control on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of night time low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the number of participants on LY2605541 reaching blood sugar targets without low blood sugar episodes at night to those taking insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment
Thromboembolic complications (TCs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality after pediatric cardiac surgery, resulting in longer hospital stay, increased risk of early and late post-surgical complications, early reoperation, neurologic and organ damage, and potentially death. The true incidence of blood clots in pediatric surgical patients is unknown. The overarching objective of this study is to further our understanding of TCs, including quantification, characterization and risk stratification. This study will ultimately allow the development of effective tools for prevention and early identification of TCs, rather than focusing on treatment alone.
The Breast Cancer and Exercise Trial (BETA Trial) is a randomized controlled trial aimed at understanding what dose (or volume) of exercise will best reduce the risk for breast cancer, particularly among women who are between the ages of 50-74. The primary aim is to compare the effects of a high versus moderate volume exercise intervention on specific biological intermediate endpoints for breast cancer in a group of previously inactive postmenopausal women
This is a Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of GS-5885, GS-9451, Tegobuvir and Ribavirin; GS-5885, GS-9451 and Tegobuvir; GS-5885, GS-9451 and Ribavirin in Interferon Ineligible or Intolerant Subjects with Chronic Genotype 1a or 1b HCV Infection.
