FLT-PET / MRI Brain Mets
Brain metastasis (BrM) develops in approximately 40% of cancer patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiotherapy that delivers high-dose per fraction to individual lesions that is commonly used to treat BrM. Radionecrosis (RN) is an adverse event that occurs in approximately 10 - 25% of patients 6 - …
Adaptive Optics Retinal Imaging in Inherited and Acquired Retinal Disorders
This is a Prospective Observational study. The aim of the study is to understand the underlying photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium or retinal vascular aberrations in inherited and acquired retinal disorders. The study would use adaptive optics (AO) technology to assist in-vivo visualization of these retinal structures and ascertain changes from …
Patient Reported Outcomes/Metrics Program Trial
This is an observational study to investigate if it is feasible to recruit 100 patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) to metastatic disease to wear Hexoskin and if Hexoskin will facilitate the monitoring, detection and early treatment of RT-related side effects.
Using a Blood Test to Monitor Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment
The goal of this observational study is to assess the effectiveness of the mDETECT breast cancer blood test at monitoring treatment response in women with metastatic breast cancer undergoing treatment.
Airway Closure During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: The AiCLOSE Study
About 65,000 Canadians develop acute respiratory failure requiring breathing machines (ventilators) to give oxygen to their lungs. Unfortunately, up to 50% of these individuals will not survive their illness. Mechanical ventilation through breathing machines, though potentially lifesaving, may further injure the lungs and the respiratory muscles. In the patients with …
Atypical Fracture Cohort Study
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by increased bone fragility and deteriorating bone micro-architecture. The main consequence of osteoporosis is low-trauma fractures, most often of the hip, spine and wrist. Recently, another type of low-trauma fracture, atypical femur fractures (AFFs), have received much attention. Little is known of the cause of …
Clinical Outcomes of Pregnant Individuals With Epilepsy - Prospective Study
The aim of this study is to investigate the pregnancy, delivery, neonatal, and epilepsy outcomes in individuals with epilepsy undergoing pregnancy at the Maternal and Infant Health Programs at the University Health Network - Sinai Health and followed for epilepsy at the Toronto Western Hospital Epilepsy Clinic. In particular, we …
The Effect of In-utero Exposure to Metformin in 5-11 Year Old Offspring of Mothers in the MiTy Trial
The incidence of diabetes in pregnancy is rising, with rates of 1 in 7 pregnancies globally. Metformin is used for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) outside of pregnancy and is now increasingly prescribed during pregnancy. There are some concerns as metformin crosses the placenta and effects on offspring exposed during pregnancy …
Radiosurgery With or Without Whole Brain Radiation for Multiple Metastases
This clinical study is a parallel, prospective observational single-centre trial in patients presenting with 5 to 30 brain metastases. Patients to receive either stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone or SRS plus whole brain radiation (WBRT) will be enrolled.
Tissue Collection Protocol for Gastroesophageal Cancers
This proposed collection of primary tumor cells lines will benefit esophageal cancer research within the University Health Network. This collection of gastro-esophageal tumor samples will be used to grow primary tumor cell lines, which will provide researchers with ready samples of various gastro-esophageal cancers. This will help to address the …
