Study of Safety and Tolerability of BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients With EGFR-driven Advanced Solid Tumors
The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors.
Anesthesia Induced Brain Cancer Survival (ABC Survival): A Feasibility Study
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 55,000 Canadians are surviving with brain tumors. It is projected that around 3000 persons will be diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumors, and approximately 75 percent patients will not survive. Out of all brain cancers, high-grade …
Metformin for Antipsychotic-induced Weight Gain in Adults With Intellectual Disability
People with IDD (intellectual and developmental disability) have very high rates of obesity and die prematurely from cardiometabolic disease. While antipsychotics contribute to this problem, their use is necessary and appropriate in a significant subgroup of individuals with IDD. Exercise and diet interventions have limitations and may not be sufficient, …
Oral 'Breath Test' to Measure Anabolic Sensitivity in Young and Older Adults at Different Activity Levels
Recent work in the investigators laboratory has examined the ability of a non-invasive 13CO2 breath-test to assess differences in amino acid oxidation rates and net balance in young healthy males following protein feeding and resistance exercise. The investigators aim to test the efficacy of this non-invasive 13CO2 breath-test to assess …
Optimum Length of Catheter in the Epidural Space for Labor Analgesia in Non-obese Women: a Randomised Controlled Trial of 4 cm Versus 5 cm
Epidural analgesia was introduced to the world of obstetrics in 1909 by Walter Stoeckel. Over the following 100 years it has developed to become the gold-standard for delivery of intra-partum analgesia, with between 60 and 75% of North American parturients receiving an epidural during their labor. Effective labor analgesia has …

The purpose of this present study is to investigate the potential benefits of the Lullaby Project on pregnant individuals with epilepsy. Namely, effects on quality of …
Bilateral Essential Tremor Treatment With Gamma Knife
Combined Phase II/III, multi-center, prospective, single-blinded trial. Ten (10) patients with essential tremor who previously underwent successful and uncomplicated GK thalamotomy for essential tremor will undergo a contralateral treatment. The incidence of side effects will be determined at 3 months postoperatively, graded per the CTCAE v5 and analyzed by a …
Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal …
MeSenteric SpAring Versus High Ligation Ileocolic Resection for the Prevention of REcurrent Crohn's DiseaSe (SPARES)
Study description - Patients will be randomized according to post-operative recurrence risk to either a high ligation of ileocolic artery or mesenteric sparing ileocolic resection for terminal ileal Crohn's disease. The primary endpoint 6-month endoscopic recurrence. Endpoints - Primary endpoint; 6 months Secondary endpoints at 1 and 5 years post …
Genomic Biomarker-Selected Umbrella Neoadjuvant Study for High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer
The objective of this study is to see if providing an appropriate therapy based on the genomic testing of prostate tumour tissue will result in an improved clinical response. Each participant will be treated with 8 weeks of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa) plus apalutamide (APA) while genome sequence …
