Evaluating a Virtual Stepped Care Portal in Youth Awaiting Tertiary Chronic Pain Care: An Implementation-Effectiveness Hybrid Type III Study
Pain is one of the most common symptoms of extreme stress in youth. Without treatment, short-term pain can last for months to years (called 'chronic pain'; CP), a problem already affecting 1 in 5 Canadian youth. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest threats to youth mental health seen …
Comparing the Effectiveness of the Immunotherapy Agents Rituximab or Mosunetuzumab in Patients With Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma, NORM Trial
This phase II trial compares mosunetuzumab to the usual treatment (rituximab) for improving survival in patients with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). Rituximab and mosunetuzumab are monoclonal antibodies. They bind to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types …
Automated Sperm Selection
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is one of the standard clinical treatments for infertility. ICSI involves the injection of a single sperm into an oocyte with a sharp micropipette. Injecting a sperm with DNA fragmentation (i.e., physical breakage of the DNA double strands) into the oocyte deterministically lowers the IVF fertilization …
Effects of Ephedrine, Phenylephrine, Norepinephrine and Vasopressin on Contractility of Human Myometrium and Umbilical Vessels: An In-vitro Study
Hypotension is one of the most common adverse effects of spinal anesthesia for cesarean deliveries, affecting as many as 55-90% of mothers. Hypotension during cesarean deliveries can have detrimental effects on the mother and neonate. Various vasopressors, such as ephedrine, phenylephrine and more recently norepinephrine, have been used for the …
Home Initiation of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Children With Medical Complexity
Children with medical complexity (CMC) often have trouble breathing at night and need to use a breathing machine. This breathing machine is called noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NiPPV). The use of NiPPV has been shown to improve quality of life and survival in children. Before it is used, NiPPV must …
Oral Contraceptive vs Menstrual Cycle Ex Vivo Model
Despite comprising half the population, females are often left out of muscle research due to the impact of changing hormones during the menstrual cycle and when using oral contraceptives. This makes it hard to perform costly and invasive studies involving tracers to study muscle protein metabolism. Consequently, we lack a …
Testing Experimental Anti-cancer Drug SLC-391 With an Approved Immunotherapy Drug, Pembrolizumab, for Advanced Lung Cancers
SLC-391 is a novel, potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL with desirable potency and pharmaceutical properties. The study is being done to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of SLC-391 in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Each treatment …
Left vs. Right Non-Inferiority Trial
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that low-frequency rTMS (LFR) works as well as the established intermittent thetaburst rTMS (iTBS) treatment for treatment resistant depression (TRD).
Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression
Treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a major global health concern, and there is a crucial need to develop novel effective treatments. The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is a recently described DBS target, with reported rapid onset of antidepressant effects. A recent small randomized trial reported a 100% response rate. The …
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 …
