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 EPOCH study population is patients with tubo-ovarian carcinosarcoma or uterine carcinosarcoma with evidence of recurrence or progression. The study aims to determine the activity of eribulin as a single agent and the combination of eribulin and pembrolizumab as measured by clinical benefit rate (CBR) at 12 weeks. Additionally, the study aims to establish whether high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) protein expression is a good functional biomarker to predict response to eribulin and pembrolizumab.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare muscle reflex function under settings of normoxia (normal oxygen level), acute hypoxia (brief oxygen-lack) and chronic hypoxia (long-duration exposure to oxygen-lack). The main question is: Does the muscle reflex adapt to chronic hypoxia? Young, healthy participants will complete light-to-high intensity cycling exercise with and without suppression of the muscle reflex. Suppression of the muscle reflex will be via spinal administration of the opioid Fentanyl. In the control condition, saline will be administered into the spinal space. Participants will complete control (saline) and experimental (Fentanyl) exercise conditions at sea-level (Kelowna, BC, Canada) breathing room air and whilst breathing a lower fraction of oxygen (acute hypoxia). Thereafter, participants will complete the exercise test after living at high altitude (White Mountain, CA, USA) for 2 weeks whilst breathing room air (chronic hypoxia) and breathing a higher fraction of oxygen (restored normoxia).
The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a group loneliness intervention in geriatric psychiatry inpatients. This type of group loneliness intervention is based on functional analytic psychotherapy and is called Awareness, Courage, and Love Groups.
The main goal of this single-arm pre-post intervention study is to see if an adapted mindfulness program can improve emotion regulation among youth aged 15-19 years who attend an alternative school. Participants will complete a baseline survey package using an iPad. They will then receive an adapted version of the 6-session Learning to BREATHE Program as part of a course they are taking at their school. Students will again complete a survey package within 2 weeks of completing the program. The investigator will compare baseline and post-intervention survey responses to see if the program improved emotion regulation, as well as several secondary psychosocial and behavioral outcomes.
Seniors deal with considerable visual demands (driving, communicating, traveling) and reduced vision affects their quality of life, ability to enjoy activities, and age-in-place. Vision loss has a heavy, increasing, economical and social burden. It can also have substantial impacts on caregivers physically, psychologically, and financially because one tends to miss more work, be less productive, and thus have fewer job opportunities. This registration will describe the clinical portion of a larger study designed to evaluate both the feasibility and effectiveness of the Re:Garde Program, a Virtual Reality (VR) visual training program for older adults to help maintain visual perception to promote quality of life and prolonged independence. In partnership with our care partners the investigators will implement the Re:Garde Program at an interprofessional clinic and as part of a loaning program for older adults to use in the home. The clinical portion of this study will look at how effective the Re:Garde program is at maintaining or improving visual perception, ability to conduct activities of daily living (e.g. read, drive, cook, exercise etc.), general wellness, and quality of life. The feasibility of implementing this program in the two settings will be evaluated separately as part of the full protocol.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact that the NanoSALV wound dressing can have on managing severe chronic wounds and feasibility for patients, providers, and health systems in different health care settings (community care, continuing care and in-patient care). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the cost-savings of using NanoSALV? 2. Do care providers perceive NanoSALV to be better, worse or the same as the standard of care in terms of usability and efficiency? 3. Does NanoSALV increase autonomy and competence of wound self-management for care providers/patients? 4. Were patients more satisfied, less satisfied or just as satisfied with NanoSALV compared to the standard of Care? 5. Does NanoSALV reduce healing time for chronic wounds compared to standard of care? The sequence and duration of the trial is as follows: - Required data will be collected at enrollment to provide a baseline (Day 0) measure. - The patient will receive standard of care treatment for four weeks with dressing changes as per the standard care pathway. - In the following four weeks the patient will receive the NanoSALV dressing treatment and dressing changes done every 48 - 72 hours as required. - Wound assessments will be done weekly with wound images captured by Aranz Medical's Silhouette Star 3D medical camera that digitally takes measurements. - A patient satisfaction survey will be collected post-control and post-intervention periods - One week after completing the study the patient/surrogate will be contacted or a survey link will be sent to them regarding adverse events and to see what wound dressing they continued to use. Semi-structured interviews and observations will be done with care providers/patients and healthcare professionals in the control period to explore the perspectives on the current state of chronic wound management, and in the intervention period to evaluate the perceptions on the usability of the intervention.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), compared to enoxaparin The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the bleeding risk (ie, major and clinically relevant non-major [CRNM] bleeding) of REGN9933 after unilateral TKA through time of venography, compared to enoxaparin - To assess overall safety and tolerability of REGN9933 in participants undergoing TKA - To evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 in prevention of clinically relevant VTE, compared to enoxaparin - To evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 in prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) detected by venography, compared to enoxaparin - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of REGN9933 after single intravenous (IV) administration - To assess pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of REGN9933 on intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways - To assess immunogenicity following a single dose of REGN9933 over time - To compare the efficacy of enoxaparin and apixaban in prevention of VTE after unilateral TKA
Study of AT-527 in Subjects with Normal and Impaired Renal Function
Prospective observational crossover study of 150 consenting adult patients who are undergoing chronic pain management. For insomnia treatment, each patient ingests prescribed doses of Lemborexant or Zopiclone or Clonidine on alternate nights. Each patient uses a special validated sleep diary to collect data including pain score, sleep score, sleep duration, sleep medication type, and adverse effects. Each patient completes the diary for 3 continuous weeks. Pain is measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score is measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points is considered significant.
The objective of the study is to measure the effect of Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) spectacle lenses on the choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index compared to control lenses.
