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 objective of this pathway is to establish and evaluate a novel Indigenous-led patient navigator (IPN) program for Indigenous adolescents living with chronic health conditions in Maskwacis, Alberta. Over the last three years a community-based participatory research partnership was developed with Elders and community members from Maskwacis, Maskwacis Health Services, and researchers from the University of Alberta. Previous research identified the need for an IPN to support Indigenous young adults and their caregivers in managing their health conditions transitioning into adulthood and transferring from pediatric to adult healthcare. The aim of partnership now is to evaluate whether a community-derived IPN program co-designed with an established group of Maskwacis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, healthcare providers, caregivers and youth with lived experience can aid in improving the experience of transitioning into adult healthcare services for Indigenous youth and their families living in Maskwacis, Alberta.
EXTUBE is an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study evaluating the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of extubation-related complications and describing clinical practices related to extubation after general anesthesia or after critical illness in the operating room (OR), out of OR anesthesia location or intensive care unit (ICU).
Purpose of the pilot trial: To assess the feasibility of a full-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial assessing whether low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg daily) reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The goal of the study is to assess how tirzepatide impacts bodyweight and cardiovascular risk factors when used in conjunction with healthy nutrition and physical activity in adolescents with obesity and multiple weight related comorbidities. The study will last approximately 76 weeks and may include up to 23 visits.
Functional movement disorders (FMD) involve unusual movements or walking difficulties that are not caused by a specific brain or nerve injury. Passive thoughts are those that occur spontaneously, and often repetitively. They are different from active thoughts, which are purposeful and intentional, such as those required for tasks like making a cup of coffee or catching a bus. This concept can be paralleled with body movements. Active movements are voluntary and purposeful, while involuntary movements can be seen as passive, arising spontaneously and not under voluntary control. The study aims to explore whether individuals with functional movement disorders experience a higher frequency of passive thoughts compared to normal healthy individuals. A structured questionnaire focused on passive thoughts will be administered to patients with functional movement disorders and to healthy controls.
Currently, several vaccines are available to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 globally requires the development of additional vaccines to aid in preventing further SARS-CoV-2 infections. Covigenix VAX-002 is a vaccine based off its predecessors VAX-001 and VAX-001-1b. All three are plasmid DNA vaccines that express key antigenic determinants from SARS-CoV-2 and use the Entos Pharmaceuticals' Fusogenix proteo-lipid vehicle (PLV) platform. Currently, the safety and tolerability of VAX-001 and VAX-001-1b for primary vaccination following 1 or 2 doses are being investigated in a Phase 1/2 study (ENTVAX01-101). In Phase 1, VAX-001 was administered to healthy adults on Day 0 and Day 14, as either 2 low doses (100 μg/dose) or 2 high doses (250 μg/dose). Overall, data suggest that VAX-001 is safe at both the low and high dose levels. The Phase 2 part evaluates VAX-001-1b in adults at a 100 μg dose level on a 1-dose and a 2-dose schedule (Days 0 and 28). An interim analysis conducted on data from 18 participants in the sentinel group who had received their first dose of 100 μg showed that VAX-001-1b was overall safe with minor adverse events (AEs) registered. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. After a review of the data, the Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) provided their recommendations for the participants in the 100 μg dose sentinel group to receive a second dose. The present study investigates the safety and immunogenicity of VAX-002 when given as a booster dose to generally healthy adults aged 18 years or older who have received a primary vaccination course or a booster dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine at least 3 months prior to Day 0. VAX-002 was specifically designed to address the new circulating omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2. The study consists of 2 parts: a dose-finding/safety evaluation part (Phase 1) to determine the dose of VAX-002 for booster vaccination (100 μg or 250 μg) followed by an adaptive Phase
This study is to test the Multiplo Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test for its performance in an urban STI clinic using finger-prick obtained whole blood to perform the POCT at the clinic.
Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that cause problems with movement, either in the form of excessive, reduced, or slow movements. Some commonly known movement disorders include Parkinson disease, dystonia, ataxia, and Tourette syndrome. Multiple movement disorders have unique handwriting characteristics that can be measured using an inkless pen and a digitalized tablet. Handwriting is a complex skill that requires a combination of cognition, motor planning, and visuomotor integration. Handwriting deteriorates in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to discern variations in the kinematics (movement patterns) involved in handwriting between individuals with movement disorders and healthy controls. Participants will be invited to carry out a series of handwriting tasks. The pen motions will be captured using an inkless pen and a digitizing tablet linked to a laptop. The entire set of tasks is designed to be completed within 30 minutes. The data will then be collected, processed, and analyzed utilizing a handwriting analysis software.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on airway inflammation and JAK1-associated signalling pathways of AZD4604 compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. Study details include: - The study duration for each participant will be approximately 10 weeks. - The duration of IMP administration will be approximately 4 weeks.
This is a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial for adults (ages > 18) with a bipolar disorder type 1 diagnosis currently experiencing a depressive episode. It is a randomized pragmatic trial that will compare four commonly prescribed treatments for bipolar depression, which includes three FDA-approved medications (Cariprazine, Quetiapine and Lurasidone) and one antipsychotic/antidepressant combination (Aripiprazole/Escitalopram).
