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.
Sex and gender are important factors that influence treatment response in PsA. The goal of this multi-centre observational study is to understand how sex and gender influence response to advanced therapies in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The investigators hope to discover biological and socio-cultural mechanisms that explain the differences in treatment response between men and women with PsA. The study investigators plan to recruit patients from approximately 30 sites across the world. Men and women with active PsA will be assessed before and after they start advanced therapies and information will be collected about sex- and gender-related factors through questionnaires and physical examination. Physicians will assess the patient response to treatment. The investigators will compare the response to treatment in men and women and assess what biological and socio-cultural factors contribute to differences in treatment response.
The ExVent is an optional accessory to the O2Vent Optima MAD and provides oral Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP). Oral EPAP with the ExVent is designed to provide upper airway support via similar mechanisms of action of nasal EPAP devices in commercial distribution, e.g., passive dilatation of the airway, which reduces flow limitation. Nasal EPAP devices are in commercial distribution as stand-alone therapies for the treatment of OSA. The oral EPAP provided by the ExVent accessory is designed to augment the OSA therapy provided by the O2Vent Optima.
Optimal diagnostic management and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies have not been fully clarified. The current diagnostic classification system based on three different umbilical artery flow patterns has no increasing scale of severity and the predictive value is limited. Since there is no treatment available for sFGR, predicting fetal deterioration is key in preventing single or double fetal demise. Outcome prediction is furthermore important in the selection of cases that will be offered selective reduction (to provide the larger twin with better prospects), as well as determining monitor frequency and possible hospital admission. As outcome prediction is clinically challenging, patient counselling is too, and parents often encounter a great deal of uncertainty during the pregnancy. Furthermore, little is known about the brain development of sFGR children (both during pregnancy and after birth). Moreover, the psychological impact of an sFGR pregnancy of the future parent)s) has not been studied before. The impact of these factors should be taken into account during patient counseling, which is currently not the case. By our knowledge, this is the first international, multicenter, prospective cohort study on that will address the abovementioned questions and knowledge gaps in MCDA pregnancies complicated by selective fetal growth restriction.
This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The planned duration of treatment in either arm within the study will be 7 years.
TrAVeRse is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, Phase II study of AVR in treatment naïve MCL participants. The primary objective will be to assess the rate of MRD-negative CR at end of induction after completing 13 cycles of AVR. Participants achieving an MRD-negative CR at the end of AVR induction will be randomised to continued acalabrutinib or observation. Participants who progress during observation may receive retreatment with acalabrutinib
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized multimodal intervention program (MuzHyp) including hypnosis, music or their combination to improve palliative care at home. The main objective is to evaluate if the intervention program will significantly reduce participants' composite score of pain, anxiety, and unwellness as evaluated by the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS) immediately after the intervention, and whether this improvement will be significantly greater than that of control sessions.
This is a Phase 1b study of participants with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). The purpose of this study is to identify an optimized lymphodenpletion (LD) regimen by evaluating standard and intermediate doses of Fludarabine (Flu) / Cyclophosphamide (Cy) with or without a fixed dose of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) in the setting of standard of care CAR T cell therapy.
The hypoxia > metastasis axis suggests that a DWI-based biomarker of hypoxia incorporating IVIM may be able to predict metastasis in STS patients, ultimately enabling stratification for personalized treatments at the time of diagnostic (MR) imaging, without adding an excessive burden to the patient or clinical workflow (typical DWI/IVIM sequences can be acquired acquired in approximately 5 minutes).
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept vs epoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in adults due to IPSS-R very low, low, intermediate-risk MDS in ESA-naïve participants who are non-transfusion dependent (NTD).
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in children and adolescents and untreated SDB impacts key indicators of physical and psychosocial health. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is highly effective for the treatment of SDB and is associated with favorable clinical outcomes but is limited by poor adherence. Emerging literature in adults suggests that intolerance to PAP therapy may be related to coexisting insomnia. However, the presence of insomnia in children with known SDB as well as its impact on PAP adherence have not been explored. This proposal will explore the association of coexisting insomnia on PAP adherence in children with SDB using a cross-sectional study design. The investigators will assess the association between insomnia and PAP therapy adherence, measured as the mean minutes of nightly PAP usage over 6 months of use on objective downloads.
