There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. 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 is a single center prospective longitudinal exercise training study and will enroll approximately 50 Fontan patients and 20 controls of a similar age, gender, BMI and physical activity level between the ages of 10-40 years. Participants will undergo an MRI of the Fontan circulation. This will include imaging of the heart, lung and liver. This will include specific imaging for tissue characterization and assessment of myocardial fibrosis, liver fibrosis and disproportionate pulmonary blood flow. The investigators will then draw blood (approximately 10 ml) for assessment of serum biomarkers and circulating microRNAs of interest. The participants will undergo exercise testing and will then start a 3-6 month long cardiac rehabilitation program. After the 3-6 month study period the participants will return back for a follow up and repeat all the testing completed at enrollement.
Multicenter, open-label, controlled, non-randomized, double arm trial with a prospective treatment arm (GelrinC). This study compares the efficacy and safety of GelrinC to a historical control arm (microfracture) in the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an extremely common disease with inadequately explored neurocognitive consequences. The investigators will study OSA patients before and after treatment to understand how OSA changes decision making abilities, and whether treatment can reverse such cognitive changes. These results could provide deeper insight into how OSA affects decision making either temporarily or permanently, and provide another rationale or motivation for treatment of OSA in adults.
The objective of this study is to use radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and clinical outcome measures to evaluate early post-operative implant stability and the clinical performance of Stryker's Trident II Acetabular Cup.
The purpose of this study is to test how a weight management program affects substances in the blood called biomarkers that can show the presence or severity of cancer, compared to a standardized diet and exercise educational flyer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effects on behaviour of Syntocinon given intranasally (by a spray into the nostrils) compared to placebo (an inactive saline substance that contains no medication) in participants with frontotemporal dementia/Pick's disease. This study will take place in approximately 15 centres across Canada and the United States. Approximately 112 patients in total will be enrolled in this study. In the first phase we will examine which of three different dosing schedules of oxytocin may be more effective. In the second phase of the study, patients entering the study will be randomized to the oxytocin dosing schedule that appeared most effective in the first phase.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat compared to sunitinib or pazopanib in participants with locally advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with a clear cell component who have not received prior systemic therapy for their mRCC.
Multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT)
The study will consist of two parts : In the phase Ib: safety will be assessed in consecutive cohorts of 3 to 6 patients at increasing doses of TG4001 in combination with avelumab according to a 3+3 design. There will be no intra-patient dose escalation. In the phase II part 1, evaluation of efficacy and further evaluation of safety of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a single arm of patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In the phase II part 2, evaluation of efficacy of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a randomized, open-label controlled study comparing TG4001 in combination with avelumab to avelumab alone in patients with HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In both phases, tumor response will be evaluated on local assessment using RECIST 1.1. All patients will be followed up until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity, or study withdrawal for any reason, whichever occurs first.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib when given together with high-dose chemotherapy in treating patients with lymphomas that have come back or does not treatment and are undergoing stem cell transplant. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as olaparib, vorinostat, gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving olaparib and high-dose chemotherapy together may work better in treating patients with relapsed/refractory lymphomas undergoing stem cell transplant than with chemotherapy alone.
