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.
Background: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at elevated risk of chronic health conditions. Chemotherapies can cause recurrent acute kidney injury which may progress to kidney fibrosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or hypertension (HTN). CCS surviving to adulthood are at ≥3 times the risk (vs. non-CCS) for CKD, HTN and lower quality of life. However, the timing of CKD and HTN onset in CCS completing cancer therapy in childhood remains unclear. Guidelines provide recommendations on managing post-cancer therapy effects in CCS, but they lack specificity on kidney testing content, frequency and complications. This discord is largely due to knowledge gaps on which CCS develop CKD or HTN after cancer therapy, when outcomes occur and their severity. Existing work has shown in select patients, CKD and HTN in CCS likely begins in the first 5 years post-cancer therapy and that the burden is significant. With robust data on CKD and HTN, international CCS follow-up guidelines can be optimized to include detailed and actionable recommendations on kidney and blood pressure monitoring and treatment.
In this triple-blind randomized controlled trial, we ask if targeting intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) based on individual resting state connectivity improves treatment outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD). For the trial, we will recruit 210 patients with major depressive disorder. Each patient will undergo a 30-40-minute MRI scan, after which they will receive a 6-week standard iTBS treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive iTBS either to the standard neuronavigated target (a technique for treatment location targeting, based on group-average connectivity) or to a personalized connectivity-guided target selected based on individual functional connectivity scans. The main outcome of this trial is response rate as determined by ≥ 50% reduction in Grid HRSD-17 scores. Secondary outcomes include remission rate, change in depression, anxiety and anhedonia symptoms, quality of life, and biological measures of heart rate variability, objective sleep measures and daily activity as a proxy of anhedonia - defined as a reduced ability to experience pleasure.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the study medicine called elranatamab.This study aims to compare elranatamab to other medicines for the treatment of MM (a type of cancer). This study is seeking participants who: - Are 18 years of age or older and have MM. - Have received treatments before for MM. - Have MM that has returned or not responded to their most recent treatment. Half of the participants will receive elranatamab. The other half of participants will receive a combination therapy selected by the study doctor. The selected combination therapy will include 2 to 3 different medicines commonly used to treat MM. Elranatamab will be given as a shot under the skin at the study clinic about once a week. This may change to a smaller number of shots later in the study. The medicines in the combination therapy will be taken by mouth (at home or at the study clinic) AND will be given either as: - a shot under the skin at the study clinic - through a needle in the vein at the study clinic The number of times these medicines will be taken depends on what combination therapy the study doctor selects. Participants may continue to receive elranatamab or a combination therapy until their MM is no longer responding. The study team will see how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the study clinic. The study team will continue to follow-up with participants after study treatment with telephone contacts (or visits). The study will compare the experiences of people receiving elranatamab to those people receiving a combination therapy. This will help learn about the safety and how effective elranatamab is.
The goal of this intervention study is to test the effects of a nurse-led mobility intervention (known as the OASIS Walking Intervention (Older Adults performing Sit to Stands and Walking Intervention)) in older adults with cognitive impairment, such as dementia, in transitional care programs. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Is the study doable and are older adults satisfied with the intervention? - Does the intervention improve older adults' muscle strength, mobility, functional status and quality of life? Participants will be asked to do the following: 1. Be interviewed once so that a patient-centred communication care plan can be made 2. Do sit to stand activity 3. Walk as part of a walking program.
The purpose of this study is to characterize safety and to determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D[s]) and optimal dosing schedule(s) of JNJ-88549968, in part 1 (Dose Escalation); to characterize the safety of JNJ- 88549968 at RP2D(s), in part 2 (Cohort Expansion).
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. DVT is called 'proximal' when the clot is formed in the veins of the hip, thigh, and knee. DVT can cause serious health problems. The blood clots in the veins can break loose and can then travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected leg, as well as redness and warmth in the area. Currently, DVT is usually treated using blood thinners to prevent the clot from getting bigger or breaking off and traveling to the lungs. However, blood thinners may not be able to remove a blood clot quickly and may not be suitable for everyone who has DVT. BAY3018250 is a drug that works by dissolving blood clots. In this study, researchers will compare BAY3018250 with placebo to learn how well it works and how safe it is in participants with proximal DVT. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers to confirm that the results observed during the study were caused by the study drug and not by other factors. The main purposes of this study are to learn: - How well BAY3018250 works in dissolving blood clots in participants with proximal DVT and - How safe is BAY3018250 as a treatment for participants with proximal DVT? For this, the researchers will use ultrasound tests to measure blood clots in participants before and at various times after study treatment. They call these measurements a clot burden score. They will compare the clot burden score before and after treatment and will calculate a complex measure called AUC. This tells researchers how the clots have changed over time. And researchers will collect the number of bleeding events that require medical attention. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of 3 treatment groups. Dependent on the group, they will receive a single dose of high dose or low dose of BAY3018250 or placebo. Researchers will closely monitor participants for 90 days after receiving the study treatment. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate - undergo ultrasound tests to measure the blood clots - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
Prospective cohort study to determine to what extent women with type 2 diabetes are achieving the time in the target range outlined for women with type 1 diabetes (70-140 mg/dl or 3.5-7.8 mmol/l), overall and by trimester, by standard CGM measures and functional data analysis
The investigators aim to develop a comprehensive patient registry of patients with non-CF bronchiectasis and/or Nontuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM)
This is a parallel, Phase 3, two-arm study for the treatment of newly diagnosed moderate or severe chronic GVHD. The study duration for a participant includes up to 4 weeks for screening; a treatment period until clinically meaningful cGVHD progression (defined as progression requiring addition of new systemic treatment for cGVHD), relapse/recurrence of the underlying disease, participant starts new systemic treatment for cGVHD or experiences an unacceptable toxicity, at the request of the participants or the investigators, or until the end of study is reached, whichever comes first; at least 30 days follow-up of adverse events (AEs) after the last dose until resolution or stabilization, if applicable; and long-term follow-up until death or study close-out, whichever comes first.
