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.
A Phase II/III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of ABC008 in the Treatment of Subjects with Inclusion Body Myositis
A novel temporary peripheral nerve stimulation system that delivers a single dose of electrical stimulation therapy for 1 hour will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric condition marked by recurrent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and ritualistic behaviors aimed at reducing distress (compulsions). While there exist a number of medications to treat this illness, half of those who need them either do not respond or can not tolerate current medications because of side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new ways to treat this illness. One of the areas being explored as a potential option is based on what is now known as a strong link between the bacteria that live in our gut and the brain. Research has shown that a fecal transplant of the gut bacteria from healthy donors is able to improve health outcomes for people with depression and the investigators now want to expand this into OCD, given a known link between this condition and bacterial infection. To do this the investigators will use both the standard methods of bacterial identification via stool analysis, which looks at large bowel changes, and compare it to the Small Intestine Microbiome Aspiration (SIMBA) system, a small capsule that when swallowed allows a fluid sample to be collected from the participants' small intestine. This work will help the investigators assess the benefits of fecal transplant in OCD, and more importantly, identify how transplant changes the system, utilizing a novel technology to move the field forward.
The goal of this study is to test whether an adaptive radiation therapy (RT), two-phase approach in participants with glioblastoma impacts local control compared to standard non-adaptive RT approach. The main questions of the study are to see how this adaptive, two-phase RT approach compares to standard RT in terms of: - Local control - Overall and progression-free survival - Patterns of failure - Toxicity, Neurological Function, and Quality of Life
Evaluation of the Tolerance and Benefits of Mandibular Advanced Device (MAD) for Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC): Mixed Design Study.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [CTEPH] is caused by pulmonary emboli that have enlarged in pulmonary arteries and have become organized into the vessel wall. Many patients with CTEPH are treated with balloon pulmonary angioplasty [BPA] which mechanically opens the narrow pulmonary arteries. It is unclear how much downstream functional pulmonary capillary surface area [FCSA] is recovered during BPA. We plan to measure FCSAIn CTEPH patients, before and after a session of BPA.
This is a one-day, proof-of-concept, pilot study of portable oxygen concentrator (POC) administration and Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance in patients with stable chronic heart failure.
This study is being conducted to learn more about a procedure, balloon dilation of the eustachian tube, in treating patients with eustachian tube dysfunction. Traditionally, eustachian tube dysfunction is treated with nasal steroid sprays and decongestants, or by placement of ear tubes. However, current evidence suggest that medical options are ineffective, and placement of ear tubes is not risk-free. The investigators are carrying out this research study with the following goals: 1. Determine if balloon dilation of the eustachian tube is superior to a placebo procedure in treating patients with eustachian tube dilatory dysfunction 2. Identify patient variables associated with positive response to balloon dilation of the eustachian tube 3. Re-demonstrate the safety of balloon dilation of the eustachian tube What does participation in this study involve? Participants in this study will: - Agree to be randomly assigned to undergo either: balloon dilation of the eustachian tube, or a placebo procedure, with the option to undergo dilation of the eustachian tube 6 weeks later - Agree to allowing the investigators access to their personal health information - Complete the following assessments and questionnaires in clinic before undergoing balloon dilation or placebo procedure: - A questionnaire to assess your eustachian tube dysfunction - An assessment of the movement of your ear drum (tympanogram) - A hearing test (audiogram) - A questionnaire to assess the impact of eustachian tube dysfunction on work/activity - A questionnaire to assess overall health-related quality of life - An assessment of the ability to equalize middle ear pressure(s) - Visual examination of the ear drums - Repeat the above assessments and questionnaires over the course of four follow-up appointments at 6-, 12-, 24-, and 52-weeks after the procedure.
The aim of this study is to compare the use of a low dose sugammadex and neostigmine combined to glycopyrrolate to reverse a rocuronium induced moderate neuromuscular blockade.
This study will evaluate the long term safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of XEN1101 25 mg QD taken orally in subjects with Focal Onset Seizures (FOS) or Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures (PGTCS) for the treatment of seizures for up to 3 years.
