EUS-CPN With and Without Bupivacaine
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) allows EUS-guided trans gastric injection of absolute alcohol around the base of the celiac plexus (celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN)), to help alleviate pain associated with pancreatic cancer. It is standard procedure to inject bupivacaine immediately before injecting absolute alcohol, to theoretically prevent pain that may occur during …
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 …
Restrictive Fluid Management In Liver Transplantation (REFIL)
Hypothesis: A Canadian multicentre clinical trial is feasible. Study Design: Multicenter internal pilot parallel arm randomized controlled trial Study population: Patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing a liver transplantation not meeting any exclusion criteria. Primary endpoint: The primary feasibility endpoint is an overall recruitment rate ≥ 4 patients/month across all …
A Combined Multidomain Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline Associated With Cardiovascular Risk Factors.
The ACTIONcardioRisk trial is designed to investigate the effect of aerobic and progressive resistance training exercises combined with cognitive training, on neurocognitive functioning of sedentary older adults with and without cardiovascular risk factors.
Immunotherapy Platform Study in Platinum Resistant High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
This study is being done to answer the following question: What are the effects of a new drug or drugs on ovarian cancer? The pre-study screening may be done to test a sample of tissue for biomarkers to determine participation in the study.
Stereotactic Boost and Short-course Radiation Therapy for Oropharynx Cancer
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the outcomes of short-course chemoradiation consisting in stereotactic boost to the gross tumor and de-esclalated chemoradiation to the elective neck in human papilloma associated oropharynx cancer vs. the current standard 7-week course chemoradiation.
Dexmedetomidine Added to Ropivacaine Single Shot vs Continuous Interscalene Nerve Block
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is increasingly performed in an outpatient setting and post-operative pain management is often a real challenge as those surgeries are well recognized for their high level of pain which often affects physical rehabilitation. The interscalene block is a largely used anesthetic technique to perform these surgeries whilst …
Comparing the Effects of Cognitive Training and Physical Exercise on Cognition, Cerebral Autoregulation and Cerebral Vasoreactivity in Men and Women With Heart Failure
The objective of this project is to assess the effects of combined physical exercise and cognitive training interventions on cognitive and brain health in patients with heart failure (HF). Also, the role of sex on the effects of the interventions will be assessed.
Defining a Technique for the Use of Cryogenic Catheters for Biopsy and Ablation for the Diagnostic and Treatment of Pulmonary Lesions: An Ex-Vivo Human Lung Model Study.
Developing a standardized methodology for the use of novel cryogenic catheters for transbronchial cryobiopsy and cryoablation of pulmonary lesions.
Longitudinal One Year vs Single Day NRP Training.
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) recommends providers renew their certification every 2 years. However, many Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) in Canada face challenges of significant budget cuts in training and a large number of caregivers to train with a high turnover rate. This situation makes it difficult for managers …
