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 provide essential mechanistic insights into natriuretic and hemodynamic effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA agents in T2D patients. Ultimately, by obtaining physiological data in T2D patients without HF, our aims are to gain insight into how the use of this combined therapy may be used in T2D with HF in future work.
Injury is the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1-44. This is especially true in trauma patients who have bleeding complications. Acute trauma coagulopathy (ATC) is associated with high transfusion requirements, longer ICU stays, and a greater incidence of multi-organ dysfunction. The cause of coagulopathy is multi-factorial. One major driver is acquired fibrinogen deficiency (hypofibrinogenemia). Fibrinogen is critical in clot formation and enhances platelet aggregation. Due to the body's limited reserve, it is the first clotting factor to fall to critical levels during life-threatening bleeding. This can impair coagulation and increases bleeding complications. There are two primary options available for fibrinogen supplementation: - Cryoprecipitate- North American standard - Fibrinogen Concentrate (FC)- European standard Consumption of coagulation factors, including fibrinogen, is another important component of ATC. To replenish these depleted coagulation factors and improve thrombin generation, two therapies are available: - Frozen Plasma (FP)- North American standard - Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC)- European standard Strategies for hemorrhage and coagulopathy treatment have changed significantly over the last decade. Prompt hemorrhage control, along with targeted coagulation factor replacement, are emerging as key components of trauma care. Currently, the initiation of a massive hemorrhage protocol (MHP) results in red blood cells (RBCs) and FP transfusions in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Clotting factors are replaced via FP administration. Fibrinogen supplementation is administration after lab verification or at the clinician's discretion. MHP continues until the rate of hemorrhage is under control. FC and PCC have several important advantages over cryoprecipitate and FP but there is a scarcity of data regarding their efficacy and safety of their use in hemorrhaging trauma patients. The FiiRST-2 study aims to understand if early use of FC and PCC in trauma patients at risk of massive hemorrhage will lead to superior patient outcomes. This trial will also provide safety data on early administration of FC and PCC as a first-line hemostatic therapy in trauma care, and its impact on hemostatic and other clinical endpoints.
Accessing nodules located in the most outer part of the lung is challenging. Tissue that will be removed from the lung will be used to see if we can reach and see the nodule with a very small camera. This camera that may reach in the smaller and outer airways is called a composite optical fiberscope (COF). The purpose of this study is to evaluate insertion ability of the COF and visualization of the lung tumor by the COF. In order to do so, we plan to evaluate 50 patient samples from the University Health Network over the span of 2 years.
An open-label, controlled, multi-site, interventional, 2-arm, Phase II trial of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing programmed cell death ligand -1 (PD-L1) with combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. This trial has two parts. Part A, an initial non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability at the selected dose range level of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab. Part B, the Randomized part of the trial to generate pivotal efficacy and safety data of BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab monotherapy in the first line setting in patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing PD-L1 with CPS ≥1. For Part B, an optional pre-screening phase is available for all patients where patients' tumor samples may be submitted for central HPV16 DNA and central PD-L1 expression testing prior to screening into the main trial.
The main aim of the study is to assess if TAK-101 can reduce gluten related symptoms and immune activation in adult participants with celiac disease (CeD) on a gluten-free diet (GFD). Participants will receive TAK-101 and/or placebo through the vein on Day 1 and Day 8. All participants will receive active treatment at Week 24.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of subcutaneous fremanezumab in the preventive treatment of migraine in pediatric participants 6 to 17 years of age (inclusive at enrollment in the pivotal study). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous fremanezumab in pediatric participants with migraine and to evaluate the immunogenicity of fremanezumab and the impact of ADAs on clinical outcomes in pediatric participants exposed to fremanezumab. The total duration of the study is planned to be up to 84 months.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in adults. The strikingly poor survival for patients with GBM (average survival 14-16 months following diagnosis) is due in part to limited early detection methods and an absence of effective therapeutic options. The study proposed would establish important evidence for the use of Health Canada approved drugs such as amantadine as a safe, effective and affordable way to monitor GBM. The method is based on the overproduction of a key enzyme in GBM cells called spermine/ spermidine n-acetyl transferase (SSAT1). The increased SSAT1 expression in GBM results in increased metabolism of the drug which is detected in the blood or urine of patients with GBM. The levels of acetyl-amantadine captured will be correlated with the tumor burden as seen on the MRIs of these patients. Thus, the study aims to determine the usefulness of amantadine as a diagnostic biomarker for GBM.
WAYFIND-R is a registry that aims to capture high-quality real-world data linking next-generation sequencing, treatments and outcomes from cancer patients diagnosed with a solid tumour. The WAYFIND-R has three main overarching objectives: 1. To provide a platform to support the design and conduct of clinical and epidemiological research; 2. To develop an evidence-generation platform to better understand health outcomes and cancer care processes; and 3. To characterize the treatments and clinical course of solid tumor cancers in patients who have undergone NGS testing.
This prospective observational study aims to describe the effectiveness of MC on pain, epilepsy, sleep and /or anxiety/depression in a cohorts of patients authorized to use MC, using pre-defined, validated self assessment scales.
Only limited data exist on the benefit of online hemodiafiltration in patient with Acute kidney injury. The objective of this pilot RCT is to assess the feasibility of a large multicentre RCT to determine whether, in patients with AKI requiring acute renal replacement therapy, does exposure to Online Hemodiafiltration reduce the inflammatory status and improve renal recovery compared to conventional intermittent hemodialysis at the ICU.
