A listing of Verdun, Canada clinical trials actively recruiting patients volunteers.
Participants with dementia have reported improvements after receiving tDCS in a study at our lab. Although we make an effort to enroll such participants in further tDCS research studies, some participants are ineligible for further studies or simply unwilling to continue being a research participant. These same individuals, however, are …
Stroke leads to lasting problems in using the upper limb (UL) for everyday life activities. While rehabilitation programs depend on motor learning, UL recovery is less than ideal. Implicit learning is thought to lead to better outcomes than explicit learning. Cognitive factors (e.g., memory, attention, perception), essential to implicit motor …
The investigators are studying whether treatment with a proton pump inhibitor called omeprazole reduces gastrointestinal bleeding in older adults taking blood thinners for a blood clot (venous thromboembolism). The purpose of this study, a pilot study or a feasibility study, is to test the study plan and determine whether enough …
This study will compare the two imaging modalities (MRI and micro-ultrasound) during Active Surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). Progression to clinically significant PCa will be assessed by first taking micro-US targeted samples (while blinded to MRI results), followed by MRI targeted samples, finishing with 12 systematic biopsy cores. The primary …

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, non-randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of \[225Ac\]-FPI-2068, \[111In\]-FPI-2107, and FPI-2053 in metastatic and/or recurrent solid tumors (HNSCC, NSCLC, mCRC, PDAC, GC, RCC).
The primary objective of the study is to create a small dataset of regional pulmonary strain values in patients suffering from pulmonary diseases under mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting. Hypothesis: The analysis of lung ultrasonographic sequences using speckle-tracking allows the determination of local pleural strain in 4 predetermined …
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) afflicting over 77,000 Canadians. Unfortunately, the therapeutic arsenal to relieve MS symptoms is limited.
