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 pilot trial is to compare three meal strategies using an ultra-rapid insulin (Lyumjev) and an automated insulin delivery system. The meal strategies to be investigated are carbohydrate counting, qualitative meal announcement (e.g., low-carb meal), and meal detection. The investigators are doing this research to evaluate if carbohydrate counting can be simplified in patients with type 1 diabetes. Participants will test each meal strategy in random order, and each meal strategy will be 21 days long. For the duration of each meal strategy, participants will use an automated insulin delivery system or "artificial pancreas" with an ultra-rapid insulin called Lyumjev.
The goal of this 26-week multicenter, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of empagliflozin use in conjunction with automated insulin delivery (AID) to improve glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes who do not meet target recommendations for time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L). The main question it aims to answer is: - Will use of empagliflozin (2.5 mg/day) increase time spent in the target range of 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L compared to placebo for individuals on an AID system who do not meet glycemic targets? Participants will either take 2.5 mg of empagliflozin or a placebo daily for 26 weeks while remaining on their current AID system.
The goal of the clinical trial is to test whether a mental health program that is delivered through the Internet works well for children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their healthy siblings. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program improve the mental health such as depression and anxiety symptoms? - Does the program improve overall quality of life? - Does the program improve self-efficacy - an individual's belief in their ability to complete tasks to achieve their goals? Participants will: - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their personal and health information, as well as their mental health before the program - Complete the online mental health program - Fill out an online survey asking questions about their mental health after completing the program, and 1-month and 3-months following completing the program Participants be compared against another group of children with CF and their healthy siblings who are on a waitlist and receiving usual CF treatment. Researchers will compare participants scores before starting the program with their scores immediately following completing the program, 1-month, and 3-month after completing the program. Researchers hope to develop a program that improves mental health, quality of life, self-efficacy, and knowledge about CF.
The goal of this multi-site observational study is to compare delirium rates, days on mechanical ventilation, and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) rates in adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. The study will examine patients whose sedation and analgesia infusion titration is managed with both Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) and Processed Electroencephalography (pEEG) monitoring vs patients who receive RASS monitoring alone. The main questions are: - Compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of sedation and analgesic in patients who are ventilated reduce the average number of delirium days, measured by Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)? - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring alone if the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of Intravenous (IV) sedation and analgesia in ventilated patients reduces the days a patient spends on a mechanical ventilator when compared to RASS only monitoring from retrospective data. - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience lower doses of sedation and analgesia infusions? - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience less incidence and duration of PICS?
This is a Phase II, multi-center, placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial of standard of care (SOC) avelumab versus SOC avelumab with bicalutamide for patients with metastatic or locally advanced urothelial carcinoma.
People diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) exhibit a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms, with the latter posing challenges in terms of identification and management. These non-motor symptoms tend to manifest before the motor symptoms and progressively worsen over time, significantly impacting the symptoms and everyday life activities of those affected. However, there remains a noticeable lack of scientific literature addressing the assessment and rehabilitation of cardiovascular dysautonomia in PD patients. Thus, our research aims to address this gap by pursuing the following objectives: 1) assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a hybrid telerehabilitation program designed to target cardiovascular health in individuals with Parkinson's disease; and 2) characterize cardiovascular dysautonomia using non-invasive measurements of cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and self-reported symptom assessments.
This project is a global, multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, observational natural history study that can be used to understand the disease progression and support the development of safe and effective drugs and biological products for Friedreich ataxia.
The percentage of loss time claims receiving Loss of Earnings benefits at 3 months has continued to rise amongst injured workers in Ontario despite the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) approach of "Better at Work". The primary health services to address loss time claims associated with musculoskeletal injuries include the evidenced-based programs of care, occupational health assessment program and musculoskeletal specialty programs, however, these are set to be revised and relaunched in Q1 2023. Across treatment protocols there are challenges that, at least in part, appear to contribute to the increasing percentage of workers on full loss of earnings at 3 months include (1) inconsistent early identification of workers who should be triaged to various health services and (2) reliable determination of the optimal timing of referral to the most targeted care to enable a safe and sustainable return to work. The investigators aim to develop and evaluate a predictive assessment model to triage workers to the best service within the first 8 weeks of their claim to increase the rate of early return to work, with the long-term goal that the triage protocol becomes part of a person-centric protocol that reduces the duration of work-related disability. The investigators will develop and evaluate an assessment protocol for injured workers that enter any of the musculoskeletal-specific WSIB programs of care, which have been consolidated into a single program as of 2023. This study will be a prospective inception cohort design using data collected from injured workers receiving WSIB musculoskeletal programs of care services at CBI Health clinics in Ontario Canada. Worker data will be collected at intake to the program of care service and again approximately four and eight weeks after intake (or earlier if a worker completes the program of care). The investigators will complete data analysis in three steps including descriptive and bivariate associations, Maximum Likelihood-based Latent Profile Analysis, and evaluation of results against successful work outcomes and secondary outcomes. Qualitative data will be mined for alternative indicators of recovery / non-recovery. The study recruitment goal is 300 - 350 workers with complete follow-up within a 2-year period.
The proposed study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of XRT followed by systemic therapy among patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer and LMD
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled, 2-arm study to evaluate the effect of amlitelimab on vaccine antibody responses, and the safety of amlitelimab concurrently administered with non-live vaccines in adult participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The purpose of this study is to compare the immune responses to concomitantly administered Boostrix (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis [Tdap]) and Pneumovax 23 (PPSV) vaccines in adult participants with moderate-to-severe AD treated with amlitelimab versus placebo. The study will evaluate the percentage of participants achieving a positive anti-tetanus response at Week 16 (primary endpoint) and a positive anti-pneumococcal response at Week 16 (primary endpoint). Study details include: The study duration will be up to 36 weeks (for participants not entering the LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]). The screening period will be 2 to 4 weeks. The treatment duration will be up to 16 weeks. The post-treatment safety follow-up period will be16 weeks. The number of visits will be up to 7 (or 6 for those entering LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]).
