All clinical trials

This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose and side effects of selinexor, and how well it works when given in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) and does not respond to treatment with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (refractory). Selinexor is an oral agent that blocks a protein called Exportin 1 (XPO1 or CRM1) that is abundant in a wide variety of cancers, including multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pomalidomide may stop the growth of blood vessels, stimulate the immune system, and kill cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone may lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. The addition of selinexor may allow better control of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma than is possible with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib.

NVG-111 is a bispecific antibody drug, having two "arms", one arm attaches to a substance on cancer cells called ROR1, the other arm attaches to the body's immune cells directing them to kill the cancer cells. This is the first clinical trial of the drug NVG-111, and will include patients with certain types of cancer including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Group A. Subjects with solid tumours, focusing initially on stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or malignant melanoma.

Executive Function Training is a cognitive training approach that specifically trains executive functioning for people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. The current study compares full executive function training to computerized training alone and to strategy monitoring alone.

This phase II trial studies the effect of selinexor when combined with carfilzomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory) and who have received 1-3 prior lines of therapy. Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called CRM1 that is needed for cell growth. Carfilzomib is a type of drug called a proteasome inhibitor. A proteasome is a protein found within cells that has the important role of identifying and marking damaged proteins that are needed to be destroyed by the cell for survival. The inhibition of the proteasome allows for damaged protein to accumulate within cells. This accumulation of damaged protein causes the cell to die. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone may work better than carfilzomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone alone in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

This is a prospective cohort study with a historical control group involving patients >=50 years-old with an acute (<3 weeks) Anderson & D'Alonzo type II dens fractures identified on cervical spine CT scan. This will be a pilot efficacy trial to compare treatment of odontoid fractures with 8 weeks of treatment with a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH) analog (abaloparatide) + hard collar immobilization in comparison to historical treatment with hard collar immobilization alone.

This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy in patients with malignant refractory/relapsed gynecologic tumors. Autologous TILs are expanded from tumor resections or biopsies and infused i.v. into the patient after NMA lymphodepletion treatment with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a behavioral sleep extension intervention on sleep duration, cardio-metabolic disease risk factors, and health behaviors among adults with elevated blood pressure/hypertension and short sleep duration.

The aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high dose oral NAC (2400 mg/day divided into two doses) as an adjunct therapy on oxidative stress, inflammatory markers and clinical outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

In Quebec, there has been an important increase of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis since 2015. ADHD symptoms, related to behavioural and/or concentration difficulties, are very similar to other disorders symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and have a significant impact on students' academic success and future life. Adults (parent, teacher, coach) expectations towards a child's abilities are consciously or unconsciously perceived by the child, influence his expectations of his own abilities, and thus his academic performance (Pygmalion effect). The child and his entourage's expectations are therefore a major factor to consider, especially in school-age children. According to ADHD studies, some brain areas involved in pain regulation and in attention cognitive abilities develop at a slower rate in children with ADHD than the other children. Considering the deleterious consequences generated by the symptoms of this disorder, the research project aims to better understand the role of expectations in children with ADHD in a medical (pain) and school (attention abilities) context. It also aims to contribute to better understand the role of the brain on the expectations effect and ADHD. In this study, children expectations will be modulated while pain experiments and cognitive task will be realized by children with and without ADHD. Brain measures will also be assessed with advanced techniques. Thus, we hope that the results will help improve intervention strategies in these contexts to ensure better support for children with ADHD, with a distant goal of contributing to the development of stronger tools for differential diagnostics.

A 2-year, phase 3, multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, sham-controlled, double-masked study. Primary efficacy will be determined at Week 52.
