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 …
Ultrasound Spectroscopy as Early Indicators of Radiation Treatment Response in Prostate, Rectum and Head & Neck Cancers
Our objective in this study is to identify an optimal ultrasound spectroscopy parameter that can be used as an early predictor of pathological complete or partial response in men with prostate cancer and men and women with rectum and head and neck cancers receiving treatment radiotherapy. We have previously demonstrated …
ATrial Tachycardia PAcing Therapy in Congenital Heart
Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 1% of newborns in the US, with 25% of those affected having critical conditions requiring open heart surgery within one year of birth. Surgical and medical advances have allowed many patients to live beyond their fourth and fifth decades of life. Unfortunately, cardiac arrhythmias …
Pain, Reward, Attention and Neurocircuitry: Biomarkers of Suicidality
The ultimate aim of this study is to identify a biomarker of suicide risk in MDD by measuring the "hedonic spectrum" (pain and reward responsivity), attention and its associated brain structures using brain scans (fMRI and DTI), as well as the stability of markers over time.
Immune Resistance Interrogation Study
This is a prospective research study which will include patients who have progressed on immunotherapy as their most recent line of therapy. This study aims to characterize whether patients who fail to respond to immunotherapy versus patients who respond initially but after a period of time progress demonstrate different genomic, …
Non-Invasive Artificial Intelligence-Based Platform MonIToring Program (NIP IT!)
Patients who have undergone curative treatment may be at risk of relapse. This study will collect, annotate, and sequence biospecimens (blood, stool, and tissue) from patients across different tumor types to detect molecular residual disease (MRD) before metastases become radiographically or clinically detectable. This will allow for early cancer interception, …
Using ctDNA to Detect Minimal Residual Disease After Lung Cancer Resection
ctDNALung-Detect is an investigator-initiated single arm, multi-institution study designed to assess the ctDNA detection rate and its association with Relapse Free Survival (RFS) in operable stage T1-T4 (T3,T4 multifocal) N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Senescent Endometrial Cells in Patients With Thin Endometrial Lining
The goal of this observational study is to determine if thin endometrial lining that is unresponsive to estrogen might be associated with the presence of senescent cells in patients following long-term use of oral contraceptives. The main question it aims to answer is: Are there any senescent cells present in …
