Evaluation of the SickKids Team Obesity Management Program
In January 2010 a new interdisciplinary clinic (STOMP) was created to provide care for children and adolescents with severe 'complex' obesity. As part of the program, a subset of adolescents undergo bariatric surgery. There is a paucity of literature evaluating outcomes of children and adolescents participating in a 'clinical' setting …
Clinical Transcriptomics in Systemic Vasculitis (CUTIS)
Multi-center observational study to evaluate the histopathology and transcriptome of cutaneous lesions in patients with several different types of vasculitis.
Effects of Teriparatide (PTH) on Bone in Men and Women With Osteoporosis
Teriparatide (PTH) is the only bone formation therapy that has been approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Canada. Osteoporosis is currently diagnosed using a bone mineral density (BMD) scan, which measures the amount of mineral (calcium etc) in bones (the higher the amount of mineral, the lower the …
Simulation for Operating Room Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how people interact with, and work within an environment. This idea is especially important in a setting such as the operating room (OR), which can be both physically and mentally challenging. Poor ergonomic practices lead to physical discomfort and injuries in >50% of OR staff …
CBF and NCF Changes With Brain Radiation
This study will be a dual-arm prospective longitudinal cohort study for patients with brain metastases, at least one of which is appropriate for radiotherapy, to explore brain and cognitive changes following SRS or WBRT and evaluate the feasibility of a novel MRI protocol to identify potential radiological biomarkers of NCF …
A Pilot Study To Evaluate the Effectiveness of Pulsed Time-Domain Optical Spectroscopy for Monitoring the Responses in Neoadjuvant Treatments of Locally-Advanced Breast Cancer
This study will investigate optical tissue characteristics as a function of neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment. Our objective in this pilot study will be to identify diffuse optical spectroscopy parameters that change with treatment and that may correlate with pathological response. The ultimate goal is to use such parameters ultrasound as …
Multi-center Collaborative to Enhance Quality and Outcomes in the Management of Cardiogenic Shock
This large real-world international prospective registry will provide a unique opportunity to comprehensively understand the contemporary management, clinical course and short as well as long-term outcomes of all Cardiogenic Shock (CS) patients cared for at four high volume dedicated shock care centers. As the first true North American multicenter CS …
Personalized Patient Derived Xenograft (pPDX) Modeling to Test Drug Response in Matching Host
By obtaining clinical specimens from participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC), high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), and other select tumor types to establish and profile as freshly implanted tumors in mice, the aim of this study is to identify agents with predicted activity in the …
Province of Ontario Strategy for Personalized Management of Pancreatic Cancer Trial
This is a prospective, multi-centre, translational and observational study. Two cohorts of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are eligible to enroll 1) Upfront resectable PDAC 2) Advanced (unresectable PDAC or metastatic). Patients will have tissue either at resection or from a biopsy at enrolment processed for whole genome sequencing, …
Magnetic Resonance-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy (MRgART) Using an Integrated Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator (MRL)
This study is being done to help further understand how MR-guided adaptive RT in conjunction with the Integrated Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator (MRL) can improve patient outcomes. This study will include participants who will be receiving radiotherapy using the MRL machine to target their cancer more precisely. Participants will be …
