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 is a global study to compare the effects of AXA1665, an orally active mixture of amino acids, compared to placebo, on cognitive and physical function, as well as the safety and tolerability of AXA1665.
This registry is intended to demonstrate the utility of SCOUT® in the Canadian public and US healthcare systems with fixed resources and a conservative approach to patient and clinician exposure to harm. The efficacy and safety of this system will be further assessed, as well as the acceptance of clinicians and patients.
Corneal crosslinking (Crosslinking, CXL) is a treatment offered for the stabilization of early corneal ectatic disorders such as keratoconus. Although CXL is an excellent treatment option to stabilize early ectatic corneas, complications include corneal haze, sterile infiltrate, endothelial cell toxicity, treatment failure and stromal scarring. Corneal haze is a common finding in almost all CXL patients and may decrease visual quality. The effect of 0.02% mitomycin C (MMC) for 2 minutes on corneal haze and scarring in refractive surgery is well established in the literature with many clinical studies confirming its effectiveness. Although the pattern of corneal haze after CXL appears to be different from the haze pattern seen following refractive procedures, both processes are thought to be caused by an inflammatory response. The investigators postulate that MMC can reduce post-CXL haze and scars when using the optimal concentration and duration of exposure.
Study of safety and efficacy of UNR844 in subjects with presbyopia.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong incurable condition that causes inflammation of the intestinal tract of humans. The exact cause of CD is unknown, but genetics, diet, and the gut microbiome are all thought to play a major role. Many patients with CD will require surgery to remove affected portions of the gut, with ileocecal resections being the most common procedure performed. Regrettably, there is up to an 85% chance that disease returns to the surgical site. Strong immune suppressive medications may help to prevent disease relapse. However, patients are then at risk of serious side effects. Currently, no ideal post-op care exists for CD patients. This study aims to assess whether a post-op synbiotic therapy (i.e. probiotics plus dietary fiber) prevents disease relapse in participants with CD. To test this, participants will consume probiotics (strains of bifidobacteria) before their surgery and then probiotics plus fiber supplements after surgery. Probiotics are live bacteria that have been shown to reduce inflammation of the gut. Fiber is given after surgery to help promote beneficial bacterial taxa and prevent less favorable bacterial taxa from triggering CD relapse. Patients will take the supplements for 6 months following surgery. They will be seen monthly to assess the effects of treatment on quality of life, symptoms of disease recurrence, inflammatory markers, and the gut microbiome. All patients will also undergo a colonoscopy at the end of the study to check for endoscopic reoccurrence.
Obesity is a serious health problem which increases the likelihood of developing other life-changing medical conditions. Despite increasing knowledge about the neural and metabolic basis of obesity, the development of effective anti-obesity treatment strategies has been a challenge. Evidence shows an association between cannabis consumption and body weight. However, to date, no human trials have assessed the potential of cannabis-like compounds to reduce body weight in individuals who are obese. This pilot trial aims to determine the safety and feasibility of administering nabilone (a cannabinoid drug similar to the active component of cannabis) to patients who are obese. Our secondary aims are to determine if nabilone is effective in reducing weight in this population, and to probe potential mechanisms of the weight-loss-promoting effects of nabilone, such as neural reactivity to food stimuli, changes in gut bacteria, and changes in metabolic biomarkers.
The TILE pilot study will be a multicenter, open-label, assessor-blinded RCT (randomized control trial) comparing extended LMWH (Low Molecular Weight Heparin) vs. DOAC (Direct Oral Anticoagulants) to PTS (prevent post thrombotic syndrome) in patients with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bermekimab in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of RO7049665 on time to relapse following forced corticosteroid (CCS) tapering as measured by the hazard ratio between RO7049665 7.5 milligrams (mg) and placebo arm.
The purpose of this PoC study was to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of binocular video games played on a tablet and to compare the efficacy of binocular video games versus patching in amblyopic patients 4 to 7 years old (Part A) as well as to gain experience with binocular video games in older children population of 8 to12 years old (Part B). Part A and Part B was designed to provide long term data on durability of binocular video games treatment. The study consisted of two parts, Part A: randomized, single masked PoC study in children 4 to 7 years old at Screening, and Part B: open-label substudy in children 8 to 12 year old at Screening.
