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 goal of this observational study is to determine if thin endometrial lining that is unresponsive to estrogen might be associated with the presence of senescent cells in patients following long-term use of oral contraceptives. The main question it aims to answer is: Are there any senescent cells present in thin endometrial lining? During the luteal phase of the cycle, participants will will undergo: - Gynecologic US to measure the endometrial lining thickness and pattern. - Endometrial biopsy with Pipelle catheter
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose, first in human safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic study of SPY001-001 in healthy participants.
The goal of this validation study is to provide further evidence of the metrological properties of the 6-minute stepper test in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the 6-minute stepper test valid when compared to the 6-minute walk test and a maximal cardiopulmonary cycling test? 2. Does the 6-minute stepper test give the same results when conducted through direct (i.e., therapist in person) and remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? 3. Is the 6-minute stepper test safe when conducted at the home of the individual with direct (i.e., therapist in person) or remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? Participants will: - Conduct the 6-minute stepper test (several trials on separate days) - Conduct the 6-minute walk test (1 trial on 1 day) - Conduct a maximal cardiopulmonary test on a cycle ergometer (1 trial on 1 day) - Participate in a semi-structured interview to provide their feedback with regards to the 6-minute stepper test
The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled epinephrine in patients with known or suspected metabisulfite sensitivity who experience a systemic allergic reaction (SAR) while undergoing allergy testing, immunotherapy or oral challenges.

Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) is a diet and exercise counselling program that significantly reduces the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). In partnership with YMCAs in Canada spanning 8 provinces, the aim of this study is to scale-up program delivery and evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of SSBC. To evaluate implementation, the number of staff trained/patients enrolled, attendance, sessions delivered as planned, delivery costs, and number of sites continuing to deliver the program will be examined. To evaluate program effectiveness, changes in patient health (e.g., T2D status, blood glucose, weight, exercise, diet) will be measured over 2 years following program completion.
Creatine supplementation improves measures of muscle accretion and performance compared to placebo during a resistance training program. However, the optimal creatine supplementation protocol for maximizing these improvements is unknown.
The success of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is more correlated to fulfillment of patients' expectations, than merely improvement of motor status1. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to inform the DBS candidates as good as possible to set realistic expectations. Currently, the patient - most of the time accompanied by a family member - is informed about the surgery and its benefits and risks during the outpatient consultation of the neurologist, and later on during the consultation of the neurosurgeon. Written information is provided in the form of a booklet that the patients take home. Due to the large amount of information, not all of it can be captured by the patient. Therefore, we would like to investigate whether an additional online immersive educational session on DBS would better educate the patient. The online session is a 1-hour video call with a small group of DBS candidates and their caregivers, lead by DBS experts, where testimonials of other patients are shown, together with multiple infographics. Two weeks later their will be a second online session summarizing the information and providing the opportunity for Q&A.
This is a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camoteskimab in adults with moderate to severe AD.
