PATHFINDER: Evaluating the Optimal First-Line Treatment Strategy for Moderate-to-Severely Active Ileal-dominant Crohn's Disease
Recruiting
There are currently three classes of biologic treatments approved in Canada for the management of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] alpha, anti-integrin, and anti-interleukin \[IL\]-23 targeted agents. The purpose of this trial is to determine which of these three classes of biologics results in the highest percentage of patients with small bowel (ileal) Crohn's disease entering into endoscopic remission without needing corticosteroids at 1 year. Endoscopic r... Read More

FIRE-Diet: Food as an Intervention to Reduce the Effects of Woodsmoke Exposure on Respiratory Health
Recruiting
Research suggests that consuming more fatty fish, fruits, and vegetables could potentially shield the lungs from the negative impacts of air pollution. The research team will look at whether a dietary intervention aimed at increasing intake of these foods can protect the lungs from woodsmoke as the air pollutant and look into how this works.

Targeted Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Therapy
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic alterations identified in their tumor.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Excision And Observation vs Chemoradiotherapy For Rectal Cancer
Recruiting
This study is being done to answer the following questions: Is the chance of rectal cancer responding the same if chemotherapy alone is given before limited surgery compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together before limited surgery? If radiation therapy is not given, is quality of life better?

HCRN Endoscopic Versus Shunt Treatment of Hydrocephalus in Infants
Recruiting
Hydrocephalus is a potentially debilitating neurological condition that primarily affects babies under a year of age and has traditionally been treated by inserting a shunt between the brain and the abdomen. A newer endoscopic procedure offers hope of shunt- free treatment that may reduce complications over a child's life, but it is not clear if the endoscopic procedure results in similar intellectual outcome as shunt. Therefore, the investigators propose a randomized trial to compare intellectu... Read More

Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) for Hemorrhagic Stroke Trial
Recruiting
The objective of the rFVIIa for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Administered at Earliest Time (FASTEST) Trial is to establish the first treatment for acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within a time window and subgroup of patients that is most likely to benefit. The central hypothesis is that rFVIIa, administered within 120 minutes from stroke onset with an identified subgroup of patients most likely to benefit, will improve outcomes at 180 days as measured by the Modified Rankin Score (m...

Bone and Muscle Health Following Sleeve Gastrectomy in Men, Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women
Recruiting
Background: Bariatric surgery is gaining in popularity. While it's health benefits are undisputed, the older malabsorptive bariatric procedures (Roux-in-Y gastric bypass - RYGB and biliopancreatic diversion - BPD) are associated with an increased risk of fractures and falls as early as 3-5 years after surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy - SG is now the most performed bariatric procedure. Although SG does not cause malabsorption, it is predicted to result in bone and muscle loss via weight loss and weigh...

90Yttrium Colloid for the Treatment of Cystic Sellar/Parasellar Tumors
Recruiting
There is no consensus in the literature on the best way to treat cystic lesions of the pituitary area. Patients who are symptomatic from these tumours are rare. The cystic form of tumours present special challenges since traditional treatment modalities (surgery and/or external radiation) are often not able to completely remove or treat the cyst wall without major morbidity or even mortality. There is no 'best practice' for the treatment of cystic tumours per se. Treatments available to patient... Read More

UBC Breakfast Study 2.0
Recruiting
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a prevalent metabolic disorder impacting \>3 million Canadians, is characterized by insulin resistance and high blood glucose. Chronically elevated blood glucose (i.e., hyperglycemia) and swings in glucose (i.e., glucose variability) contribute to complications of T2D. Specifically, post-meal hyperglycemic spikes are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. People with T2D often exhibit a different circadian pattern from healthy individuals, with... Read More

Feasibility of a Diet Intervention for Juvenile Arthritis
Recruiting
Families of children with arthritis are highly interested in the benefits of diet to improve their child's disease and future health outcomes. Previous research shows that the germs - bacteria and other organisms - that live in the intestines (gut microbiome) are important to how well immune systems work, and that what people eat changes their gut microbiome. The investigators want to study whether a certain diet - based on the principles of the Mediterranean Diet - will improve arthritis for ch... Read More
