Liquid-biopsy Informed Platform Trial to Evaluate CDK4/6-inhibitor Resistant ER+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can testing breast cancer for DNA abnormalities or "biomarkers" help predict which patients are most likely to be helped by certain treatments? The pre-study screening is being done to test a sample of blood (or tumour tissue) for biomarkers to …
RAPid SimPLE Targeted Radiation Treatment for Brain Metastases
The aim of the study is to show that rapid, simple targeted radiotherapy to brain metastases with 8 Gy / 1 is non-inferior to 20 Gy / 5 in terms of overall survival for patients with poor prognosis.
RMR Monitoring Feasibility and Acceptability
Obesity is a leading risk factor for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Generic weight management programs that target dietary intake and physical activity have been shown to be ineffective in maintaining weight loss beyond a 6-month period. Personalizing weight management programs produces more weight …
Power Exercise for Stroke Recovery: The POWER Pilot Trial (POWER-P)
Weakness is one of the most common consequences of stroke. For the over 750,000 Canadians living with stroke, many daily activities like standing from a chair, walking and balance not only require strength but often efforts in bursts, known as muscle power. Strength training can improve muscle strength and, when …
UBC Breakfast Study 2.0
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a prevalent metabolic disorder impacting \>3 million Canadians, is characterized by insulin resistance and high blood glucose. Chronically elevated blood glucose (i.e., hyperglycemia) and swings in glucose (i.e., glucose variability) contribute to complications of T2D. Specifically, post-meal hyperglycemic spikes are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease …
Exercise Snacks in Obesity
To conduct a randomized control trial to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week technology-enabled exercise snacks intervention with behaviour change counselling for improving cardiorespiratory fitness and various markers of cardiometabolic health in previously inactive adults living with obesity.
The Acute Effect of "Exercise Snacks" on Glycemic Responses in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes.
To conduct a randomized crossover trial to determine the acute impact of exercise snacks on glycemic control in physically inactive individuals living with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.
Efficacy of Exercise Snacks in Real-World Settings in Individuals Living With Type 2 Diabetes
To conduct a pilot randomized control trial to determine the feasibility of a 12-week, technology-enabled exercise snacks intervention in adults living with type 2 diabetes in a real-world setting. We will also assess preliminary efficacy based on measures of glycemic control and fitness.
The Acute Effect of Low-intensity Movement Breaks on Glycemic Responses in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes.
To conduct a randomized crossover trial to determine the acute impact of low-intensity movement breaks on glycemic control in physically inactive individuals living with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.
Exercise Lower-body Negative Pressure in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
The heart is a pump that must both fill and empty effectively to move blood; if it cannot move enough, heart failure may ensue. Approximately half of all adults living with heart failure have a form where the heart stiffens, which impairs its ability to fill. This form of heart …
