UCAN CAN-DU: Canada-Netherlands Personalized Medicine Network in Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatic Disease
Childhood arthritis is a chronic disabling disease. New medications called biologic therapies are now available to treat arthritis that target key biologic molecules that cause inflammation. Biologic therapies, while very effective in treating arthritis in children, may have serious side effects including infections and potentially cancers, and are very expensive and doctors don't know, which one to choose for which child. The investigators will develop tests that enable them to learn about the biology of each child's arthritis and be able to predict when and which biologic therapy to start and when to stop.
Comparing the Efficacy of Accelerated vs. Standard fMRI-guided iTBS in Treating Adolescents Depression
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a Health Canada approved treatment for major depression. Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a type of rTMS, is a very promising new treatment for major depression in adults and adolescents. However, very few studies have assessed the efficacy of accelerated, three times a day TBS in comparison with standard once a day TBS in adolescents. The study aims to explore further evidence in hopes to conduct a large-scale, randomized, multisite, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the effects of a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-guided accelerated rTMS protocol vs. standard once/daily rTMS for treatment-resistant depression in adolescents.
The Dragon PLC Trial (DRAGON-PLC)
The goal of the DRAGON PLC clinical trial is to determine whether portal vein embolization (PVE) combined with hepatic vein embolization (HVE) improves resectability and overall survival in patients with initially unresectable primary liver cancer compared to standard PVE alone. This trial specifically focuses on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions this trial aims to answer are whether combined PVE and HVE increases the proportion of patients who become resectable within 3 weeks and improves 5-year overall survival compared to PVE alone by enhancing liver hypertrophy. Participants will: * Undergo either standard PVE or combined PVE and HVE. * Have regular imaging to assess liver resectability. * Be monitored for survival outcomes up to 5 years after intervention.
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of KarXT + KarX-EC for Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KarXT + KarX-EC for cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's Disease
High-dose Prophylactic Gabapentin (HOPE) vs. Placebo to Prevent Opioid Use for Oral Mucositis Pain During Concurrent Chemoradiation for Head and Neck Cancer
This phase III trial tests if gabapentin can prevent the need for opiate pain medication for mouth sores (oral mucositis) in patients undergoing treatment with chemotherapy and radiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region. Oral mucositis is a common side effect of radiation treatment and can cause severe pain, dysphagia, and weight loss resulting in feeding tube placement, worse health-related quality of life, treatment interruptions, unplanned hospitalizations, and significant financial burden. Mucositis pain is often treated with opioid pain medications which do provide pain relief but have many known side effects not limited to mental clouding, constipation, fatigue, endocrinopathy, neurotoxicity, sleep-disordered breathing, and most distressingly persistent opioid use. Gabapentin may help relieve pain from oral mucositis caused by radiation while also reducing the need for opiate pain medications for patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region
Platinum and Taxane Chemo in Met Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients With Alterations in DNA Damage Response Genes
The usual approach for most patients who are not in a study is treatment with docetaxel. This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding a drug to the usual approach? This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for prostate cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for prostate cancer.
Testing Whether the Addition of Carboplatin Chemotherapy to Cabazitaxel Chemotherapy Will Improve Outcomes Compared to Cabazitaxel Alone in People With Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer That Has Spread Beyond the Prostate to Other Parts of the Body
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding carboplatin to the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel versus cabazitaxel alone in treating prostate cancer that keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels (castrate-resistant) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cabazitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Prednisone is often given together with chemotherapy drugs. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs and to help the chemotherapy work. Giving carboplatin with the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel may be better at treating metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
Early Genomic Testing for Inherited Bleeding Disorders
The investigators aim to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for inherited bleeding disorders in patients who have not received a diagnosis after first-line testing. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the introduction of genomic testing early in the diagnostic pathway for patients referred to Hematology for a suspected inherited bleeding disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does adding early genomic testing increase the number of patients who are diagnosed? 2. Does adding early genomic testing decrease the overall time to diagnosis? 3. Is it cost-effective to include early genomic testing in the diagnostic pathway? The investigators will compare with a control group of participants who are receiving standard care (no early genomic testing). Participants will randomized to a standardized diagnostic testing plus early genomic testing group or to the standardized diagnostic testing group only (with the possibility of being offered genomic testing after 1 year in the study).
Intravenous Acetaminophen After Cardiac Surgery - Definitive Study
Double blind, double dummy trial of the use of IV acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that better pain control and less use of narcotics will lead to a lower incidence of delirium from day 1 to 7 following cardiac surgery. Other important secondary outcomes are the total use of narcotics, ICU and hospital stay, improved cognitive function at 6 months and 1 year post surgery, NSAID use at each centre and associated NSAID complications.
Efficacy and Safety Study of Nipocalimab for Adults With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nipocalimab compared to placebo in delaying relapse in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) who initially respond to nipocalimab in Stage A.
