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.
Fractional ablative laser treatment for Lichen Sclerosus lesion
Because treatment decisions are usually based on a single measurement of the lipid panel at the time of an admission for an MI, the overarching objective of this project is to evaluate whether the measurement of LDL, non-HDL, and apoB values are reliable through all the duration of the hospitalization. It will be a single-center, prospective, observational study will be conducted, including consecutive patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction at the Montreal Heart Institute. Every patient at the Cardiac Care Unit will undergo non-fasting lipid panel testing at day 0 of their admission for Myocardial Infarction during the study period. Patients who consent to participate will have a 2nd non-fasting lipid panel drawn at day 2 of their admission. Thereafter, the levels of the different lipid values from the panel will be compared between day 0, day 2, and 4-6 weeks after discharge.
This 12-week study compares the effectiveness of personalized daily step goals generated by a machine learning algorithm in the Sprout app versus fixed daily step goals of 10,000 steps among adults. Participants will be recruited through the Sprout app, and after a 1-week run-in period, they will be assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive adaptive goals based on their historical step data, while the control group will have a fixed goal. Both groups will receive financial incentives. This study aims to inform future interventions measuring changes in daily steps and app engagement levels (i.e., time spent on app, number of app opens) by studying how using financial incentives and an adaptive goal-setting design can improve physical activity levels of app users, informed by a machine learning algorithm.
This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with excess body weight lose weight. CagriSema is a new medicine developed by Novo Nordisk that combines cagrilintide and semaglutide. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors. In the study, participant will either get CagriSema or dummy medicine and which treatment participant get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years for each participant.
A closed-loop insulin system, often labelled the "artificial pancreas" (AP), consists of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, and an interface coordinating between them to regulate insulin dosage based on glucose levels. Primarily designed for managing type 1 diabetes, this system has demonstrated significant benefits in previous studies. Yet, despite these advantages, certain challenges persist. Semaglutide, utilized in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, is a once-weekly injectable medication that elevates levels of a gastrointestinal hormone known as Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone alters gastric emptying, inhibits glucagon release, and reduces appetite. While not officially sanctioned for type 1 diabetes treatment in North America, studies have explored its efficacy as an adjunctive therapy alongside insulin, yielding favorable outcomes in blood glucose regulation. Comparable drugs like liraglutide and exenatide have been employed in type 1 diabetes treatment as well, albeit with less pronounced glucose-regulating effects compared to semaglutide, even in type 2 diabetes. The goal of this 50-week randomized placebo-controlled crossover 2x4 factorial designed trial is to assess whether commercial automated insulin delivery (AID) systems using rapid-acting insulin with adjunct weekly injections of semaglutide (at the maximally tolerated dose) can replace carbohydrate counting with simple meal announcements (SMA) without degrading glucose control.
This pilot A-B study aims to develop and validate personalized training programs for older adults with decreased mobility on a Semi-Reclining Intelligent Stationary Bike prototype. The study also aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the training programs and to document their preliminary effects on physical health, perceived well-being, and quality of life. Ten participants will take part in five personalized training sessions with the intelligent bike and five standard training sessions with a traditional stationary bike.
Following a stroke, persistent residual muscle weakness in the upper limb (UL) drastically impacts the individuals' quality of life and level of independence. Training interventions are recommended to promote UL motor recovery, and recent studies have shown that training must be tailored to each individual's recovery potential to maximise training gains. Complementary to training interventions, non-invasive brain stimulation devices (NIBS) can help support the provision of post-stroke care by modulating brain excitability and enhancing recovery. Among NIBS, cranial nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (CN-NINM) is gaining increasing attention in rehabilitation since it can directly and non-invasively stimulate the tongue's cranial nerves. The impulses generated can then reach the motor cortex, induce neuroplastic changes and support recovery. Promising results in various neurological populations have been observed, but in stroke, the efficacy of CN-NINM at improving arm motor recovery and brain plasticity is yet to be determined. This is what the present project intends to address, using a stratified randomized controlled trial, where participants in the chronic phase of a stroke will take part in a 4-week individualized training program of their affected UL in combination with real or sham CN-NINM. Before and after the intervention, participants will undergo clinical and neurophysiological evaluations to thoroughly evaluate CN-NINM-induced changes in UL motor function and associated neuroplastic changes. The proposed study will allow an in-depth evaluation of the effects of CN-NINM for an eventual implementation in clinics and at home to support optimal post-stroke recovery.
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has been studied in multiple global prospective DESTINY-Breast trials and has a marketing authorization from Health Canada for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and HER2-low mBC, respectively. Multiple stakeholders, including clinicians, patients, regulators, and healthcare decision makers, are interested in real-world treatment-related outcomes in order to better represent the effectiveness of therapies in routine care settings.
This is an open-label trial evaluating feasibility, tolerability, safety and efficacy of psilocybin assisted cognitive processing therapy for chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The goal of this study is to find out whether the use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) into the surgical wound will result in less post-operative pain, less pain killer use, and better post-operative use of the wrist in people undergoing surgery for a wrist fracture compared to not using topical TXA (placebo).
