The Thoracic Peri-Operative Integrative Surgical Care Evaluation Trial - Stage III
Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of …
iCanCope With Post-Operative Pain (iCanCope PostOp)
There are few applications available in the community to help teenagers manage pain after surgery. The focus of this study is to better understand the pain experience of children after having surgery and to design a Smartphone app called "iCanCope with Post-Operative Pain" (iCanCope PostOp), to help children and parents …
A Non-pharmacological Cough Control Therapy
Coughing affects almost all individuals with ILD leading to physical, psychological and social distress and prevents individuals from performing their activities of daily living, working or socialising in public places. Unfortunately, there are no licensed medications available to treat chronic cough and the few drugs that have been tried resulted …
Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SBRT) of Lung Metastasis
The purpose of this institutional protocol is to offer SBRT to selected patients in a controlled environment to refine treatment techniques (including dose/fractionation schedules) and standardize follow-up. SBRT has been in clinical use for over a decade in some institutions and the available data suggest that it can be used …
Prostate Hypoxia FAZA
The purpose of this study is to look for low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) in prostate cancer using a special x-ray test called a positron emission tomography (PET)scan. Hypoxia may have an effect on how prostate cancer grows and responds to treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The use of PET …
Efficacy of Sodium Thiosulfate and Mannitol in Reducing Ototoxicity in Adult Patients Receiving Cisplatin Chemotherapy
One common side effect of cisplatin chemotherapy is ototoxicity. The drugs sodium thiosulfate and mannitol may protect against cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Specifically, sodium thiosulfate has been found to protect the cells in the inner ear, and may therefore prevent hearing loss. Mannitol can help sodium thiosulfate enter the inner ear, …
StereoTactic Ablative RadioTherapy of Cardiac Arrhythmias (START-CA)
This is a prospective, single-center, phase II trial that will be monitoring the safety and efficacy of using stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat patients with a medical condition affecting heart rate and rhythm (refractory arrhythmias) within the University Health Network (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Toronto General Hospital).

3T MRI in Patients With Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease, medically refractory tremor, dystonia and obsessive compulsive disorder. Several hypotheses driven DBS trials are underway to study modulation of circuit dysfunction in other neurological and psychiatric disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and depression. Recent reports suggest profound effects …
Molecular Imaging Informed Radiation Dose Escalation to Sites of Recurrent Disease and De-escalation to Uninvolved Areas in Salvage Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
This is a Phase II prospective sing-arm trial that is recruiting 60 participants from patients that have biochemical failure after radical prostatectomy with local or regional recurrence proven by PSMA PET. Participants of this study will receive molecular imaging informed radiation dose escalation to site of recurrent disease and de-escalation …
HN-QUEST: A Study of Head and Neck Imaging Biomarkers
This is a multi arm, single center, investigator initiated study to investigate online adaptive radiotherapy and biomarker development in patients with newly diagnosed HNSCC (Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma) receiving curative therapy. The study will consist of two prospective arms. In Arm 1 up to 100 HNSCC patients receiving …
