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 goal of this observational study is to assess the use of Myant Skiin garments for the purpose of estimating metabolic rate in 20 adult (18-64 yrs) healthy participants. The main question it aims to answer is What is the accuracy of metabolic rate estimate from the Skiin algorithm utilizing Skiin data, as compared to observation and a gold-standard sensor? Participants will be asked to perform a number of scripted tasks and their data will be assessed and compared against gold standard wearable indirect calorimetry device (COSMED K5) measurements. .
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986278 in Participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis.
The goal of this study is to learn more about the risk factors associated with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) and the predictors of adverse outcomes associated with LVNC. The main questions this study aims to answer are as follows. - Are there any genetic mutations that impact the risk of LVNC patients developing ventricular arrhythmias? - Does LV myocardial strain increase risk stratification in the LVNC population with or without genetic mutations? - What are some of the determinants that cause LV dysfunction in LVNC? - What are other risk stratifiers (ex. premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden on Holter, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) on stress test) that lead to an outcome of ICD implantation? Participants will have their medical records accessed annually for a span of ten years, either prospectively or retrospectively depending on whether they are being actively followed by physicians at the Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic or not, to evaluate LVNC progression over time. This data will be stored in a large clinical registry with the London Heart Rhythm Program at the London Health Sciences Centre, University Hospital Campus.
To assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in pediatric participants with severe uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without oral corticosteroids.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the potential therapeutic effects of topical CBD products produced by Phoilex Ltd., specifically the Releaf Gel, in those diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Patients will be routinely assessed via questionnaire, and physical measurements will be taken with respect to the affected area studied in order to judge clinical efficacy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Did you experience an immediate increase in skin hydration? - Did you experience a soothing or comforting feeling on your irritated skin area? Please explain where your affected area is located, and also include at what time point this occurred. Example: Affected Area: Palm, Time Point: 1-hour post-application - Upon the affected area being in the healing phase, was your skin itch/scratch free for 4/6/10/12 hours (please circle)? - Did you experience immediate relief from your skin inflammation? - Did the study cream absorb quickly into your skin, without any greasy feeling? - Has your skin flare disappeared in 2 week(s)? - Has your skin condition appearance improved? (Yes/No) Participants will apply Phoilex Releaf Gel (a cream) to their affected areas of atopic dermatitis. The questions listed above shall be discussed and observations recorded at the 0 week, 1 week, 2 week, and 4 week time points. Additional monitoring questions may be asked of the participants to ensure the safety of the product. A chart will be provided to the participants to track Phoilex Releaf Gel usage (how many pumps, and time of day) throughout duration of the study. We hypothesize that Releaf gel will be suitable to ameliorate the common signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis as well as improve patient quality of life.
This is a single center, non-blinded randomized control trial taking place at the Queen Elizabeth II hospital (QEII) in Nova Scotia. Patients are eligible if aged 75 and older scheduled for elective cancer surgery and screened as severely frail or cognitively impaired. Participants will then be randomized to preoperative standard of care or geriatric assessment through the PATH clinic. Primary outcome will assess time spend at home at 6 months after the surgery.
The present study will assess the effects on glucose, ketones and other blood biomarkers fuels, cognition, quality of life, physical activity and well-being of a reduced carbohydrate menu (R-CHO) for 2 months in a population living in a residence for the elderly. This intervention study, identified as the SAGE project (phase 2), follows on from the Ketohome project (phase 1) assessing the feasibility of such a project.
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center annually provides assistance to approximately 600 cardiac surgeries and 1500 trauma patients, many of whom require chest tubes to prevent blood and fluids from accumulating in the pleural cavities surrounding the heart. During the removal of chest tubes, there is a risk of air leaking into these cavities, leading to pneumothorax, a critical condition occurring in approximately 5-26% of cases, associated with increased complications and mortality. Currently, the diagnosis of pneumothorax is primarily based on chest X-rays (CXR), despite their limitations and low reliability. As an alternative method, lung ultrasound (LUS) offers several advantages: it is safer, less expensive, and less painful for patients compared to CXR. However, there is a lack of comparative data on the accuracy and interrater reliability of these two diagnostic approaches after chest tube removal. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of lung ultrasound performed by medical trainees in diagnosing pneumothorax in cardiac and trauma patients. By comparing LUS to CXR, the investigators seek to determine if LUS provides a more reliable and precise diagnosis. This study has the potential to enhance patient care by establishing a more effective and accessible method for diagnosing pneumothorax post-chest tube removal.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ecopipam tablets in children (greater than or equal to [>=] 6 and less than [<] 12 years of age), adolescents (>=12 and <18 years of age), and adults (>=18 years of age) with Tourette's Syndrome (TS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of RBT-1 on reducing the risk of post-operative complications in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A sub-study will also be conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a single administration of RBT-1 by means of a popPK approach in subjects scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery.
