Hypothesis: A Canadian multicentre clinical trial is feasible. Study Design: Multicenter internal pilot parallel arm randomized controlled trial Study population: Patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing a liver transplantation not meeting any exclusion criteria. Primary endpoint: The primary feasibility endpoint is an overall recruitment rate ≥ 4 patients/month across all three participating sites. Secondary endpoint: The secondary feasibility endpoints are a protocol adherence \> 90%, a 30-day (or hospital discharge) and 6-month outcome measurement \> 90%, and a mean difference in total intraoperative volume received (crystalloids and colloids combined) \> 1000 ml between groups. Study intervention: Low splanchnic blood volume restrictive fluid management strategy (intervention). A phlebotomy, performed prior to dissection and transfused back after graft reperfusion, combined with a hemodynamic goal-directed restrictive fluid management strategy Optimized cardiac-output liberal fluid management strategy (control) A hemodynamic goal-directed liberal fluid management strategy that optimizes cardiac output throughout surgery

This is a parallel arm randomized (1:1) controlled trial. Adolescents aged 12-17 years (n=452) who are starting or changing a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for depression will be randomly allocated to receive 12-weeks of pharmacogenetic-guided antidepressant therapy (experimental intervention) or GLAD-PC guided prescribing (control intervention).

This study is a phase 2/3 open-label controlled trial (CT) in which adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and adults who have MDD plus comorbid Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS) will be assigned to either receive oral Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) or to continue with the treatment they are currently receiving in a Treatment As Usual (TAU) arm. An IBS alone group receiving TAU will be recruited as a clinical control group. The primary goals of this study are to determine effectiveness, safety and tolerability of oral FMT in adults with MDD and in MDD who have comorbid IBS. Additional goals are to characterize patterns and progressions of cognitive and neural correlates associated with MDD and with MDD + IBS and to determine if they improve with FMT. It is known that both, individuals with MDD and those with MDD and IBS show cognitive alterations as well as changes in neural structures, but this study is designed to see if those are changed with treatment response to FMT."

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether use of the PulsePoint system increases bystander CPR or defibrillator use compared to standard dispatch procedures in patients who suffer non-traumatic, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a public location. Half of all suspected cardiac arrest 9-1-1 calls in a public location will receive PulsePoint alerts (treatment arm). The other half of this eligible patient cohort will receive standard dispatch procedures (control arm).

Lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) affect many older men and their frequency and severity increase with age. In the age group between 65 and 79 years the rate of men with moderate and severe LUTS is 20 - 25% (Hunter et al. 1994). The complaints are potentially associated with a considerable impairment of the quality of life (Trueman et al. 1999). LUTS in older men are commonly caused by a bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). The histological term "benign prostatic hyperplasia" (BPH) is frequently used in literature and clinical practice as a synonym for this diagnosis. Surgical therapy of BPH has continuously evolved in recent years. One of the latest technologies for transurethral prostate desobstruction is the Aquablation therapy, first described in 2015 (AQUABEAM®, PROCEPT BioRobotics, Redwood Shores, CA, USA) (Faber et al 2015). The AQUABEAM Robotic System is the first and only image-guided, heat-free robotic therapy for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is designed for cutting of prostate tissue during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Once inserted via a transurethral approach and advanced through the urethra and into the prostatic urethra, the device applies an ultrasound-guided water jet that precisely ablates the prostate tissue. Aquablation therapy is unique in that it combines cystoscopic visualization, ultrasound imaging and advanced planning software to provide the surgeon with a multidimensional view of the treatment area. This enables personalized treatment planning for the patient's unique anatomy, improved decisionmaking and real-time monitoring during the procedure. This prospective single-arm investigational clinical trial aims at assessing the efficacy and safety of the new generation of the AQUABEAM Robotic System (P1G3) and the Apogee 2300 Ultrasound System and compare the percentage of patients who are discharged the day of the surgery among different groups of BPH patients who undergo aquablation using the third generation of the AQUABEAM Robotic System.

BALANCE+ is a perpetual multiple domain randomized controlled platform trial to evaluate various treatment strategies for Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GN BSIs). Each domain addresses critical questions in the management of GN BSIs, aiming to refine treatment strategies, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce antimicrobial resistance. The initial vanguard pilot RCT (NCT05893147) started on 29 August 2023 and has successfully completed the pilot phase on 24-Apr-2024. All patients enrolled in the vanguard phase are part of the main platform trial.

The investigators want to know if sugar water containing 24% sucrose is helpful in reducing pain in babies during scopes.

Penetrating keratoplasty is a cornea surgery involving several inflammatory complications, of which the most important is glaucoma. Researchers wish to determine whether it is safe to administer infliximab (an anti-inflammatory drug) eye drops after surgery, and whether this eye drop could prevent the occurrence of glaucoma.

Study RIN-PF-301 is designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.

This first-in-human study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of TORL-3-600 in patients with advanced cancer
