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 objective of this study is to nake a comparison between 11c-acetate and 11c-acetoacetate kidney uptake in chronic kidney failure patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant autogene cevumeran plus atezolizumab and modified leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) versus mFOLFIRINOX alone in participants with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have not received prior systemic anti-cancer treatment for PDAC and have no evidence of disease after surgery.
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia/analgesia techniques (or simply, 'regional blocks') have gained popularity as they can reduce, and sometimes even eliminate, the need for opiate analgesics (and, consequently, their side effects), thereby improving patient safety, reducing length of hospital stay and medical costs, and improving patient satisfaction. However, a major barrier to mainstream uptake of such techniques relates to training. These techniques require the acquisition of new skills under expert guidance, which is often not possible given the daily demands placed upon anesthesiologists. As a result, many opportunities for providing regional blocks may be missed. The purpose of this study is to implement a new real-time 'near remote' guidance method in which trainees who are to perform regional blocks can do so via tele-mentoring under expert guidance. This will be done using a novel technology whereby the ultrasound image is concurrently displayed on an iPad screen (for the block operator/trainee) as well as on the (near remotely supervising) expert mentor's smartphone. Trainees and mentors will use this method to perform various standard of care regional blocks, either in the perioperative or emergency department settings. Participants' opinions of the novel teaching and learning method will be assessed.
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive, diagnostic and therapeutic gynecological surgical technique and the gold standard in the study of the uterine cavity. Thanks to the decrease in the diameter of hysteroscopes and to the vaginoscopic approach, anesthesia is no longer necessary in diagnostic hysteroscopy. Nevertheless, in operative hysteroscopy, given the instrumentalization and the need of cervical dilation, the use of local anesthesia, with or without sedation, is recommended. The different alternatives described in the literature are the following: 1. Cervical/ intracervical block: injection of local anesthetic into the four quadrants of the cervix. 2. Paracervical block: injection of local anesthetic in the cervicovaginal junction at 5 and 7 o'clock positions. 3. Transcervical (uterine) anesthesia: instillation of a local anesthetic agent via catheter through the cervix and into the uterine cavity. 4. Topical cervical anesthesia: application of local anesthetic in gel or spray to the cervix. To assess the best anesthetic pathway to decrease pain during outpatient hysteroscopy, the investigators will perform a prospective multicentric study that compare two types of local anesthesia in outpatient procedural hysteroscopy: paracervical block, that is the actual gold-standard, and transcervical instillation.
This proposal is for a Window of Opportunity (WOO) clinical trial using a novel combination of two Health Canada approved agents, cemiplimab (Libtayo) and dupilumab (Dupixent), for off label use in early-stage estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer.
The objective of the study is to assess feasibility, and clinical efficacy of a novel Fecal Microbiota Transplantation protocol for the treatment of pediatric small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
The purpose of the D4325C00007 study is to identify and characterise patients with known or newly diagnosed CKD for possible participation in future renal clinical studies and to obtain an overview on current treatment choices for this patient group in different regions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zipalertinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins mutations and other mutations.
This study aims to investigate the optimal oxygen flow rate needed during tracheal intubation with the C-MAC video laryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) using Miller-blade or Macintosh-blade size No. 0 or No. 1 in the operating room or intensive care unit. The investigators hypothesize that the difference between low-flow and high-flow supplemental oxygen is negligible.
To assess the ability of RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine to generate an immune response when given in combination with HZ/su vaccine and its safety in older adults, aged >=50 years of age.
