MR Imaging Study Using the Northern Alberta Linac-MR (Northern LIGHTs - 1)
Cancers are often treated with external beam radiotherapy. Current radiotherapy treatments are performed using computed tomography (also known as CT) scans which may not always clearly identify the cancer. In some instances, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to better identify cancers. Therefore, efforts are currently underway to use …
Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm Trial
Intracranial aneurysms located on the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are considered by many surgeons to represent a distinct subgroup of aneurysms for which clipping may still be the best management option. Most MCA aneurysms are accessible, proximal control can readily be secured in case of rupture, and clip application can …

People with advanced chronic cancers are now living for many years as a result of new targeted anti-cancer treatments. Many of these treatments are quite new and people may take them for months, even years, as long as the treatments are helping. The purpose of this study is to help …
Improving Health Outcomes With Kefir
The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether traditional kefir not only enhances vascular health but also contributes to improved immune outcomes in both male and female participants at higher risk or living with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) after 12 weeks of treatment.
Understanding the Health Effect of a Bioactive Peptide From Egg: A Pilot Study
Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins show potential for improving human health. One of such promising peptides is namely IRW made from egg white hydrolysate and composed of three peptides. This is a feasibility study to assess the acute effect of IRW in egg white hydrolysate for the management of …
Fish Oil, Metformin and Heart Health in PCOS
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have high testosterone levels which is associated with altered insulin-glucose metabolism and an adverse blood lipid profile, predisposing them to the development of Type II Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study will investigate the use of dietary fish oil supplementation as a safe …
Ultra-Early Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for TN
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GK-SRS) as an ultra-early treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The main questions it aims to answer are: will earlier GK-SRS provide more durable pain relief compared to later GK-SRS? will earlier GK-SRS reduce or eliminate the …
Optimizing Transhumeral Osseointegration Prosthesis Control
Upper limb amputation above the elbow results in a significant loss of function. There have been many advancements in surgery and prosthetic devices to restore arm function, but many people still reject upper limb prostheses. This is due to difficulties with how the socket fits and poor control of the …
Radiotherapy to Block Oligoprogression In Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding targeted radiotherapy to the usual combination of drugs? This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach …
Effectiveness of NOA OATMAD
This study is looking at how well the OrthoApnea NOA appliance, a special custom-made mouthpiece, helps treat people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
