A Study to Evaluate a New Way to Identify/Diagnose Tumours With Somatostatin Receptors Using [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and to Ensure it is Safe to Use
A [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MRI scan is a nuclear medicine test used to create pictures of the whole body that will show where somatostatin receptors are found, including on tumours. Somatostatin receptors are found on most neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and some other types of tumours. Currently at the Cross Cancer …
The Alberta Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Mother-Baby Care ImprovEmeNT Program
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), is a common and costly problem in Alberta that affects approximately 250 babies per year exposed to drugs during pregnancy. Unfortunately, this has become more common in the last 10 years. Babies with NAS can be very difficult to care for with poor feeding, diarrhea, and …
Anti-CD19, Dual Co-stimulatory (4-1BB, CD3ζ) Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive Lymphoma or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Autologous, unselected CD3+ lymphocytes collected from apheresis, transfected with a lentiviral vector containing a 2nd generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) consisting of a scFv recognizing CD19 and dual co-stimulatory intracellular signaling domains (4-1BB and CD3ζ).
Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Bladder Botox
Injection of Botox into the bladder is a common treatment for overactive bladder. Postoperative bladder infection is one of the more frequently reported complications of this procedure. Prophylactic antibiotics given at the time of bladder Botox for the reduction of postoperative bladder infection have not been well studied. The main …
Doxycycline to Protect Heart Muscle After Heart Attacks
Current medical treatment allows more people to survive heart attacks than in the past. However, some of the survivors suffer heart disease and require hospitalization later on. The causes behind this heart disease (heart failure) after a heart attack are poorly understood. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is a protein that …

Photobiomodulation for Pediatric Hypertrophic Tonsils
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition where a child has great difficulty with breathing, or stops breathing all together, while asleep. This is a medical condition for which the primary treatment is usually a surgery targeted towards removing swollen tonsils and adenoids. However, surgical removal of tonsils and …
Early Videocapsule Endoscopy for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
The objective of this study is to determine whether early video capsule endoscopy (VCE) immediately after a negative gastroscopy in the setting of suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) improves patient outcomes as compared to the standard approach which typically involves performing colonoscopy prior to small bowel investigations. We aim to …
Regeneration of Acutely Injured Nerves With Temporary Electrical Stimulation
A novel temporary peripheral nerve stimulation system that delivers a single dose of electrical stimulation therapy for 1 hour will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
Canadian Study of Arterial Inflammation in Patients With Diabetes and Vascular Events: EvaluatioN of Colchicine
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in the developed world. Atherosclerosis causes plaques in the blood vessels and is a common form of CVD. Inflammation is now recognized as a major cause of atherosclerosis. Therapies that target inflammation are being examined as a potential treatment option. Imaging …
