Evaluating Myelodysplastic Syndrome Risks in NET Patients Planned for Peptide Radionuclide Therapy
This is a prospective observational study which aims to identify individuals predisposed to developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could improve patient outcomes in different ways. First, it will enable improved patient selection for PRRT where alternative treatment options are available. Second, understanding the final pathway and …
Vascular Regenerative Cell Exhaustion in Adults with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD-VRCE)
PAD-VRCE is an observational, cross-sectional, two arm study aimed at determining if the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) can influence the number of circulating regenerative cells in blood. From peripheral blood samples, circulating progenitor cell content will be assessed via flow cytometry and compared between individuals with PAD and …
Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2. The newer method uses digital technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, to …
A First-in-Human Safety and Efficacy Study of ALN-CFB, a Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) Targeting Complement Factor B, in Adult Participants With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria With Persistent Anemia on a C5 Inhibitor
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-CFB. The study is focused on people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who are currently taking a complement component C5 inhibitor ("C5-inhibitor") and continue to have anemia (low red blood cell count). The aim of the study is to see how tolerable …
Feasibility Study of Novice-Performed Lung Ultrasound for Pneumothorax Detection After Cardiac Surgery
What is the purpose of this study? This study is being done to find out if medical trainees (such as residents and fellows) can learn to use lung ultrasound to detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery. Who is participating in the study? Adults who have recently had heart …
Phase 1/2 Study of Mirdametinib + Vinblastine for Newly Diagnosed/Previously Untreated PLGG + Activation of MAPK
This is a 3-part open-label study (feasibility phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase) of orally administered mirdametinib in combination with intravenous vinblastine chemotherapy in patients with PLGG with activation of MAPK pathway. Feasibility Phase: The maximum tolerated/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of the mirdametinib plus vinblastine combination will be assessed …
Physician- vs Questionnaire-Based Screening for Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis
Early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) requires close collaboration between dermatologists (as the skin manifestations of psoriatic disease in most cases precede the musculoskeletal manifestations) and rheumatologists (who are usually responsible for the final diagnosis of PsA and treatment of the musculoskeletal manifestations). Previous epidemiological studies suggest that there may …
Bootle Blast: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
One in 500 Canadians has cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong condition affecting movement and function. Physical and occupational therapies greatly benefit children with CP but can be costly and difficult to access. Children, parents, and clinicians are interested in using movement-tracking video games for home-based hand/arm therapy. Yet, the technologies …
Menstrual Cycle vs. Oral Contraceptives: Effects on Muscle Protein Metabolism After Resistance Exercise
The muscles of the body are constantly breaking down old proteins and building new ones. These two processes, protein breakdown and protein synthesis, together are known as protein turnover. Protein turnover is essential for maintaining healthy muscle. Despite its importance, females have historically been underrepresented in protein metabolism research. A …
The Genetics Navigator: Evaluating a Digital Platform for Genomics Health Services
Genetic testing (GT) (including targeted panels, exome and genome sequencing) is increasingly being used for patient care as it improves diagnosis and health outcomes. In spite of these benefits, genetic testing is a complex and costly health service. This results in unequal access, increased wait times and inconsistencies in care. …
