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 purpose of this registry is to collect safety and performance data on all commercially available Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts, and cardiovascular patches in standard clinical practice. Data will be collected both retrospectively and prospectively.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent studies demonstrated an increased risk of infective endocarditis in people who inject drugs (PWIDs). PWIDs have a high rate of non-compliance with hospital admissions and leaving against medical advice. A recent landmark randomized controlled trial demonstrated similar outcomes when comparing partial oral antimicrobial therapy to continued intravenous antimicrobial therapy in the general population. Performing a trial to explore the non-inferiority of oral compared to intravenous antimicrobial therapy in PWIDs is essential in advancing patient care in this high risk increasing population.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ravulizumab in adult and adolescent participants with hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA). In Stage 1, an open-label, single-arm period, the dosing regimen will be confirmed. In Stage 2, participants will be randomized to receive either blinded ravulizumab plus best supportive care or matching placebo plus best supportive care. The treatment period is 26 weeks (open-label for Stage 1, and randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled for Stage 2) followed by a 26-week follow-up period.
This study assesses the effect of sequential radiation and durvalumab immunotherapy given as treatment prior to surgery with radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
This is an observational study of the occurrence of cardiac toxicity in patients with breast cancer,lymphoma or leukemia receiving chemotherapy including an anthracycline. Patients will be identified at the oncology clinic and will be included in the study if all eligible criteria are met. The study will involve retrospective and prospective evaluations. Safety will be assessed through reporting of serious adverse events (SAEs) related to study procedures.
Participants (patients and volunteers) will be recruited to have their blood pressure measured by standard blood pressure assessment methods while having their face video recorded. The data collected will help improve the blood pressure measurement accuracy of Transdermal Optical Imaging, which relies on machine learning to extract physiological information from videos recorded.
The study is looking at the role of the mesentery in disease recurrence for ileocolic Crohn's disease. It is a prospective study that has been designed to perform extended mesenteric excision on patients undergoing their first ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease. Endoscopic recurrence will be monitored with the hypothesis that patients receiving extended mesenteric ileocolic resection will have reduced endoscopic recurrence at 6 months after resection.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open label study with blinded outcome assessment to evaluate the impact of additional/intensive LDL-cholesterol reduction with evolocumab on carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques in higher risk subjects with severe asymptomatic but vulnerable plaques.
Background In the acute phase, burn patients undergo several painful procedures. Pediatric burn care procedures conducted in hydrotherapy have been known to generate severe pain intensity and moderate to high levels of anxiety. Hydrotherapy treatments are done with the use of opioids and benzodiazepines for pain and anxiety. Unfortunately, non-pharmacological methods are rarely combined with pharmacological treatments despite evidence showing that distraction can serve as an effective method for pain management and can potentially decrease analgesic requirements in other painful medical procedures. Virtual Reality (VR) is a method that uses distraction to interact within a virtual environment. The use of VR is promising for pain reduction in varying settings. Considering the lack of optimal pain and anxiety management during burn wound care and the positive effect of an immersive distraction for painful procedures, using VR for burn wound care procedures may show promising results. Methods This is a within-subject randomized controlled trial design in which each participant will serve as his/her own control. A minimum of 20 participants, aged 7 to 17 years old undergoing a burn care session, will receive both standard and experimental treatments during the same session in a randomized order. The experimental treatment will consist of combining VR distraction using the video game Dreamland® to the current standard pharmacological care as per unit protocol. The control group will only receive the unit's standard pharmacological care. The mean difference in both pain intensity scores and in anxiety between the two different sequences will be the primary outcomes of this study. Conclusion This study evaluates the effect of VR on burn wound care. If results from this study show a positive effect of VR compared to standard care, this protocol may provide guidance on how to implement this type of immersive care as part of the tools available for distraction of painful procedures for acute burn victims.
Multi-center, prospective, concurrently controlled, non-randomized, double-blind (patient and assessor). Treatment of large chondral lesions in the knee with microfracture plus the Chondro-Gide® ACC is non-inferior to treatment of small chondral lesions treated with microfracture alone.
