There are about 28777 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 study is see how effective is JNJ-77242113 in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The purpose of the study is to see how effective JNJ-77242113 is in participants with plaque psoriasis affecting special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of the hands and the soles of the feet).
This study is open to adults with advanced liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcohol-related liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or other causes. People can join the study if they have high blood pressure in the portal vein (main vessel going to the liver) and bleeding in the esophagus or fluid accumulation in the belly. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called avenciguat helps people with this condition. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes avenciguat tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like avenciguat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet twice a day for 8 weeks. Participants are in the study for 2 to 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. At 2 of the visits, the doctors check the pressure in the liver vein by inserting a catheter (a long thin tube) that gives information about pressure in the portal vein. The change in blood pressure is then compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Phase 2 trial to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Inventprise's (IVT) 25-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (IVT PCV-25)
This will be a first-in-human Phase I, open-label, single dose clinical study of MELPIDA administered intrathecally (IT) through a lumbar puncture (LP) to a single subject with confirmed pathogenic mutations in the Adaptor Related Protein Complex 4 Subunit Mu 1 (AP4M1) gene. The primary outcome will be the determination of the safety and tolerability of MELPIDA in patients with SPG50, based on development of toxicity. The secondary outcome will be a preliminary exploration of efficacy of the treatment. MELPIDA, is a recombinant serotype 9 adeno-associated virus (AAV) encoding a codon-optimized human AP4M1 transgene and will be administer to the patient via a single intrathecal infusion of 10 mL at 1E14 vg/mL for a total dose of 1E15 vg. The total study duration is 5 years post dosing and the participant will be tested at screening/baseline (-28 to -7 days), return for dosing, and then follow-up visits post-dosing on Days 7 (+/-2), 30 (+/-2), 60 (+/-2), 90 (+/-14), 180 (+/-14), 270 (+/-14), 360 (+/-14), 540 (+/-14), and 720 (+/-14) days, then annually for the last 3 years.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have - a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or - a BMI of 27 kg/m² or more and at least one health problem related to their weight. People with type 2 diabetes cannot take part in this study. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with overweight or obesity to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of IMG-007 in adults with Alopecia Areata.
In frozen embryo transfer substituted cycles, patients are treated with progesterone and estrogen in an attempt to mimic the natural cycle and a transfer is planned whenever the endometrium is ready. In contrast, in frozen embryo transfer natural cycle patients are not taking any hormones, only triggered with hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) when a dominant follicle is ready or they wait for the disappearance of the dominant follicle to plan the transfer date. Some doctors and centres shift towards using the substituted protocol in an attempt to make scheduling easier with less frequent ultrasounds. This study will aim to compare clinical and biochemical pregnancy rates in patients who underwent frozen embryo transfers in natural cycles vs substituted cycles at the centre.
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disease that is caused by intolerance to gluten in the diet. The mainstay of treatment is a gluten-free diet (GFD). Children with CD on the GFD often have low micronutrient intakes (e.g. folate, iron) and high intakes of sugar and fat. Current Canadian nutrition guideline does not address these nutritional limitations. The investigation team developed a novel GF-food guide (GFFG). This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of GFFG on diet quality and adherence to the GFD in newly diagnosed children and youth with celiac disease in the clinical setting. The investigators will compare dietary counselling using the GFFG versus the standard of care in children newly diagnosed with CD and their parents to see if participant care outcomes (diet quality, nutrition literacy, adherence to the GFD) improved over six months.
Canada passed mandatory front-of-package labelling (FOPL) regulations where pre-packaged food and beverage products that are high in sugar, saturated fat, and/or sodium are required to display a 'high-in' front-of-pack nutrition symbol (NS). FOPL is an effective tool to inform consumers about products that can harm health and help guide their purchasing decisions. However, as the regulations are limited to the pre-packaged food supply and do not apply to restaurants and other food services, little is known about the potential impact of the NS in such settings. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of the Canadian FOPL (i.e. the 'high-in' NS) as delivered through a mobile health (mHealth) app in a setting currently not subject to regulations. The study will take place on a post-secondary campus (University of Toronto) hosting students, a population vulnerable to poor dietary choices, nutritional knowledge, and associated weight gain. A 2-week long, randomized controlled trial with a 3-parallel arm study design will be conducted to explore the effect of the 'high-in' NS on students' purchasing behaviours and nutritional knowledge. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated into one of 3 intervention groups: no App control; App control with no NS; App with NS. Questionnaires will be used to assess nutritional knowledge, and receipts will be used to analyze purchasing behaviour.
