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.
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 427 in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory AML. Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and / or a biologically optimal dose (eg, recommended phase 2 dose [RP2D]).
We will test an ultrasound device that uses sound waves to detect the fetal heart beat, and use this device to tell the MRI scanner when to collect pictures of the fetal heart. This will help freeze motion of the fetal heart, to make MRI pictures sharper. This will be important for assessing human fetal heart disease, an active area of research at our institution.
The goal of this clinical trial is to show the blood pressure lowering effect of aprocitentan, a new drug, when added to other anti-hypertensive drugs of patients with difficult to control (resistant) high blood pressure (hypertension), and to show that blood pressure reduction is kept for long period of time.
The goal of this study is to review the etiology, diagnostic criteria, complications and outcome of acute pediatric compartment syndrome identified at The Children's Hospital of Western Ontario (CHWO) . Follow up with patients treated for compartment syndrome by fasciotomy will assist in determining the long term effects of compartment syndrome and surgical procedures on the patient quality of life and return to level of function of the affected limb.
This study aims to test the effectiveness of an electronic-based video intervention and behavioral contract on improving medication adherence among kidney transplant recipients.
A Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, placebo control study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Thykamine in adult patient suffering of mild-to-moderate Atopic Dermatitis
Oxidative stress (OS) is characterized by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of the body to eliminate them. Such an imbalance can lead to lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Studies have suggested that infertile men are more likely to have high concentrations of ROS in their seminal plasma. The investigators hypothesize that a high level of oxidative stress (OS) in patients with abnormal sperm parameters could influence fertilization and / or pregnancy success. Our first goal is to compare OS levels to semen parameters, as defined by the World Health Organization in 2010, as well as DNA fragmentation and chromatin decondensation in sperm. Our second objective is to compare OS levels in sperm to fertilization and blastulation rates at first, and then measure the impact of OS levels on pregnancy success, both in intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Sperm samples from men in 3 groups will be analyzed: a group of fertile men with confirmed paternity (n = 50), a group of men in IVF (n = 100) and a group of men in their first three cycles of IUI (n = 100). The static oxidation reduction index (sORP) will be measured by the MiOXSYS © system, a rapid sperm analysis system using electrochemical technology. A small portion of the fresh sperm sample will be deposited on a MiOXSYS sensor and the ORP will be measured. Sperm ROS will also be measured using the CellROX Deep Red probe. The sperm parameters will be measured by the techniques used routinely in the Fertilys Reproductive Health Center andrology lab. Regarding couples in IVF, fertilization and blastulation rates, embryo quality and pregnancy success will be noted. Pregnancy success will be noted for IUI couples. If the usefulness of sORP levels in predicting pregnancy and its outcome is demonstrated, it could be a new marker in the diagnosis of male infertility and act as a guide for clinicians to apply appropriate treatment.
This study will evaluate the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) ratio in the medical foods formulated for Methylmalonic and Propionic Acidemias (MMA/PROP) patients. We will recruit 6 healthy children between 6-10y (3 boys and 3 girls). They will be given amino acid-based shakes and protein free cookies. Using a minimally invasive stable isotope based technique, we will be able to determine the optimal ratio of BCAA to be added in the medical foods for the MMA/PROP subjects.
A study designed tocompare progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with t(11;14)-positive MM treated with venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone versus pomalidomide in combination with dexamethasone.
This study is designed to identify the target Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) population(s) that overexpress c-Met (c-Met+) best suited for telisotuzumab vedotin therapy in the second line or third line setting (Stage 1) and then to expand the group(s) to further evaluate efficacy in the selected population(s) (Stage 2). After the Stage 2 global enrollment is completed, an additional cohort at an alternate dose level will evaluate the safety and efficacy of telisotuzumab vedotin (Stage 3).
