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 study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of obexelimab for the prevention of flare of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD)
The purpose of the study is to describe the rate of occurrence of clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory infection (an infection that affects normal breathing) and different types of respiratory pathogens (harmful organisms) of new respiratory infections in a population at high risk for severe illness.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of tiragolumab and atezolizumab intravenous fixed-dose combination (IV FDC) in participants with histologically confirmed PD-L1-selected solid tumors whose disease is locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic and for whom an investigational agent in combination with an anti-PD-L1 antibody is considered an acceptable treatment option.
The goal of this clinical trial is to effectively implement virtually-delivered interventions in mental health institutions nationwide to improve the cognitive health of individuals living with schizophrenia. The main objectives are: - To determine the clinical effectiveness of two virtual cognitive health interventions (i.e., Action-Based Cognitive Remediation or MetaCognitive Training). - To evaluate our implementation strategy involving the virtual delivery of cognitive health interventions combined with a digital learning platform to train mental health practitioners. Participants will be assessed for the severity of symptoms, cognitive performance, and overall functioning before and after receiving the intervention. Qualitative interviews will also be conducted with participants and therapists to evaluate the implementation strategies.
The overarching goal of this research protocol is to acquire eye-tracking, cognitive, and disease-severity metrics in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to further build up a database of MS patients and train a machine learning classifying algorithms to identify which eye-tracking metrics-or combination thereof-can serve as reliable markers of MS disease severity and cognitive status.
The purpose of this study is to map the context of sedentary behaviour among older adults who are frail. This study uses a unique combination of objective and self-report measures to assess context. The investigators will also hold focus groups to understand which behaviours can be modified and conduct an analysis to understand which types of behaviours are associated with negative health outcomes.
This Phase IIa, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of GDC-6599 compared with placebo in patients with a history of chronic cough.
This study will examine whether a newly designed monitor for computers is better tolerated by concussed patients than the standard computer monitor. The information gathered from this study will contribute to the understanding of the persisting concussion symptoms including computer screen intolerance and photosensitivity, with the aim of helping those with concussions.
The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon is thought to be a common source of shoulder pain and dysfunction in patients with rotator cuff pathology. Tenotomy and tenodesis have been shown to produce favourable and comparable results in treating LHB lesions, but a controversy still exists regarding the treatment of choice. Some suggest that tenotomy should be reserved for older, low-demand patients, while tenodesis should be performed in younger patients and those who engage in heavy labor. Proponents of tenotomy suggest that this is a technically easy procedure that leads to easy rehabilitation and fast return to activity with a low complication and reoperation rate. However, those who support LHB tenodesis list good preservation of elbow flexion and supination strength, improvement of functional scores, elimination of pain, and avoidance of cosmetic deformity as benefits of the procedure. Alternatively, the LHB can be maintained in the joint without tenodesis or tenotomy. In fact, it has not been clearly shown that LHB tenodesis or tenotomy leads to improved outcomes compared to leaving the biceps tendon intact.
A fan blowing cool air to the face has been shown to alleviate breathlessness in malignant and non-malignant disease at rest and during exercise, however the underlying physiological mechanisms remain unknown. This random order, three-condition design study will explore physiological mechanisms of breathlessness relief with fan-to-face therapy during constant-rate exercise in people with cardiorespiratory disease.
