This study, called PERSEVERE, examines how local treatment for early breast cancer affects people's health and daily lives over time. People who join the study will have early-stage breast cancer and receive treatment such as surgery and other therapies that are used before or a…

The research team will compare the efficacy of targeted text message reminders against currently used phone call reminders at increasing patient completion of fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for colon cancer screening.

This study evaluates the feasibility of an online intervention based on artificial intelligence-the Movebite app integrated into the Slack platform-aimed at promoting engagement in micro-breaks involving physical activity, with the goal of enhancing workplace well-being and reduc…

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of the Inflammation Based Index (IBI) score as a marker for predicting clinical and radiological response in patients treated with Lu-177 oxodotreotide for inoperable or meta…

This is a single-site, single-arm, interventional study assessing the feasibility of the ARTCan Therapy Application (App) and whether it is an acceptable means of administering art therapy to young adult cancer survivors. The ARTCan Therapy App guides participants through a 6-wee…

The EAGER pilot trial is designed to assess the feasibility of a Canadian, multicentre prospective randomized open-label blinded end-point (PROBE) clinical trial addressing whether induction of labour (IOL) at 38 weeks' gestation compared to expectant management (EM) reduces seve…

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a new, noninvasive method for continuously measuring blood pressure during surgery. This method combines two common types of signals - pulse oximetry and electrocardiography (ECG) - and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help impro…

The investigators will evaluate the sensitivity of ctDNA from plasma and CSF at baseline (defined as C1D1) and over time in response to treatment with plixorafenib alone or in combination with retifanlimab in patients with BRAF-V600E mutant glioma refractory to prior therapies.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess recovery in patients undergoing benign laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: do liberalized postoperative restrictions improve patient recovery after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery? R…

This multicenter, prospective observational study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the Swing-Mesh™ implant (THT BioScience™, distributed by B. Braun™, France) for laparoscopic-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair using TAPP or TEP techniques. Swing-Mesh™ is a lightweight, m…

This trial aims to assess the analgesic effect of Popliteal Plexus Block (PPB) with 10 mL versus 20 mL of Bupivacain 5 mg/mL, when applied as an adjunct treatment to a multimodal analgesic regimen following primary total knee arthroplasty. We hypothesize that PPB with 20 mL of lo…

This study aims to evaluate the effect of individualized developmental care education provided to mothers of premature infants on maternal self-efficacy and maternal-infant attachment. Premature birth can be a stressful and anxiety-inducing experience for mothers, which may negat…

In this research study we want to learn more about the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on motivation, memory, and brain-network function in cognitively unimpaired older adults and individuals with preclinical Alzheimer's disease. This study will use a form of non-invas…

Patients admitted to the cardiology department with acute heart failure who have a nasopharyngeal respiratory virus PCR test performed within 72 hours of admission will be enrolled in the study cohort. The detection rate of respiratory viruses including influenza virus, RSV, and…

This study aims to investigate whether genetic variation in the TNFAIP3 locus is associated with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP), and whether such association is mediated by decreased expression of A20 (TNFAIP3). The study includes a case-control design…

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible disorder characterized by persistent airflow limitation and increased lung compliance. It leads to dyspnea, skeletal muscle dysfunction, impaired functional capacity, and reduced quality of life. Physical inactivity …

The goal of the Cardiovascular Health Equity Through Food (CHEF) program is to make it easier for participants and families to cook and eat healthy foods during and following childhood cancer treatment with the long-term goal of supporting heart health.

This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of carboplatin/cisplatin + etoposide + benmelstobart sequential benmelstobart combined with anlotinib versus carboplatin/cisplatin + etoposide + Tislelizumab sequential Ti…

The RAPID trial is a randomized, single-center trial investigating whether giving atropine at heart rates below 60 beats per minute versus giving atropine only at heart rates below 30 beats per minute reduces the amount of norepinephrine needed to keep MAP above 65 mmHg in non-ca…

Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome are placed on mechanical ventilation, and the adjustment of ventilator parameters is an important step in their care, in particular positive expiratory pressure, applied at the end of breathing. The goal of this study is to learn…
