Inspiratory Muscle Training in Lung Transplant Candidates
Recovery after lung transplantation (LTx) may be complicated by prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) and protracted intensive care unit (ICU) stay leading to immobilization and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In the critical care setting, diaphragm atrophy and weakness have been associated with difficulty weaning from MV, increased risk for …
The Effects of Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) Therapy in Patients With COPD
The goal of this non-pharmacologic interventional study is to learn if Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) therapy can improve disease impact and respiratory system dynamics in patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is OPEP therapy able to improve the impact of cough symptoms as measured …
A Study of Pain Reduction After Pulmonary Resection by VATS, RATS-OTC, and Hybrid RATS.
Pulmonary resections are key in treating lung neoplasms, with techniques adapted to tumor size and location. Minimally invasive approaches like VATS have replaced open thoracotomy, but intercostal trocar placement can lead to nerve injury and chronic pain. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is usually done via a transthoracic (RATS-TT) approach using …
Social Prescribing to Improve Adherence and Outcomes in Women With Heart Failure
Background: Heart Failure (HF) is the second most common cause of hospitalizations for women in North America. Non-adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is associated with 50% of all treatment failures and high rates of hospitalizations and death. A recent Canadian study showed that adherence to three or more GDMT …
De-escalation of Ustekinumab Therapy in Patients With Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether disease remission can be maintained when biologic therapy is reduced in patients with Crohn"s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) taking ustekinumab (UST). The main question it aims to answer is: Can we de-escalate UST subcutaneous dose either from every …
A Randomized Comparison Between 0.67 mcg/kg, 1 mcg/kg, and 1.33 mcg/kg of Perineural Dexmedetomidine for Ultrasound-Guided Infraclavicular Block
This study will compare three different doses of perineural dexmedetomidine 0.67 mcg/kg, 1 mcg/kg, and 1.33 mcg/kg as adjuvants to local anesthetics for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks (ICBs). Our research hypothesis is that 1.33 mcg/kg will provide a 15%-longer duration than 1mcg/kg, which in turn will provide a 15%-longer …
Post-operative Radiotherapy After Neodjuvant Chemo-immunotherapy and Surgery in Stage III NSCLC
This study investigates whether postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) improves outcomes for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have residual disease after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy and surgery. The primary objective is to compare event-free survival (EFS) between patients receiving PORT targeting involved lymph node regions and those without PORT. …

The objectives of the study are to 1) to translate and adapt iCBT Shyness Program to the Canadian context; 2) to examine the completion and effectiveness of the Canadian adapted, including the French translated and English iCBT Shyness Program, in improving SAD symptoms; 3) to explore barriers and facilitating factors …
LND101 for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Combination With Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Advanced Melanoma
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of melanoma growing or spreading be lowered by receiving a treatment called LND101 for Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) in addition to the usual immunotherapy treatment called Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB)? FMT treatment changes the bacteria in your …
Abatacept for the Treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will seek to determine the efficacy of abatacept in GCA. To examine this objective, 62 eligible patients who have newly diagnosed or relapsing GCA within 8 weeks prior to screening will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous abatacept 125mg/week or placebo. Patients …
