The goal of this open-label, placebo-controlled, dosage escalation study is to learn about the safety of a Cannabis/Hemp Isolate Extract in normal healthy adults engaged in elite contact sport competition. The main question it aims to answer is: • Are cannabis/hemp-based products with high CBD safe, well-tolerated and without adverse physiological and psychological dysfunction, when administered on a daily basis? Participants will: * be given CBD and a placebo. The placebo will be taken for 2 weeks prior to starting the CBD. Participants will start on a low dose of CBD, beginning at 5 mg CBD/kg body mass, which will be increased by 5 mg/kg every 2-weeks until 30 mg CBD/kg body mass is taken; * have blood samples taken to analyse how much CBD is used in the body and for how long it lasts in the body (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics); * have saliva samples collected for genetic analysis; * undergo testing sessions, which will include psychological and health questionnaires, equipment to record signals from the brain and heart, and safety laboratory tests.

The study design is a cohort study with a propensity score-matched control group and difference-in-difference analysis to evaluate intervention effectiveness. A hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study framework is used that incorporates mixed methods to determine clinical effectiveness and explore implementation and participant well-being. Participants are selected based on their utilization of health services. Selection favoured those individuals with the most health service utilization. A control group will be created by selecting individuals from administrative hospital records that are propensity-score matched to the individuals in the treatment group (1:4 pair). The hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study framework was used to guide the selection of study aims and outcomes to focus primarily on clinical effectiveness, while also exploring implementation-related factors. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the Initiative on the number of emergency department visits and days spent in the hospital. The secondary objectives are to 2) evaluate the impact of the Initiative on program participants' health and well-being, 3) evaluate the implementation of the Initiative and assess program fidelity and barriers, and 4) to calculate the cost avoidance and cost-effectiveness of the Initiative.

This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global, Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tovorafenib monotherapy versus standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy in participants with pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harboring an activating rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF) alteration requiring first-line systemic therapy.

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

The purpose of study is to build a Canadian HTPN Registry to collect pertinent demographic and clinical data on the HTPN population in Canada and to determine the factors affecting survival, complications and TPN-dependency. These results will help establish standards of practice and develop future multi-center studies. This will greatly benefit the HTPN patient population.

Researchers want to learn if patritumab deruxtecan (MK-1022) can treat certain gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The GI cancers being studied are advanced (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety and how well people tolerate of patritumab deruxtecan * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

Sexual desire discrepancy (SDD) occurs when partners have different levels of sexual desire and are distressed by it. It is one of the most common reasons couples seek help, but no proven dyadic treatment currently exists. This study will test STEP, an online program designed to support couples with SDD. The investigators will compare two formats of STEP: one with therapist support and one self-guided, against a waitlist control group. The investigators will also assess how satisfied couples are and how they engage with the two online formats. This study will generate new data on how effective STEP is with and without guidance, and inform treatment guidelines.

A complex interaction between demographic, environmental and genetic mechanisms impact the onset, severity and outcome of ILD-SARDs through dysregulation of the immune system and lung pro-biotic pathways. Comorbidity and genetic risk indicate that there are overlapping pathogenic mechanisms among SARDs, some of which underlie ILD in different SARDs. The purpose of this biobank is to study the clinical, pathological, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of SARDs patients with lung involvement. This will help identify as unique features underlying lung involvement in SARDs. In addition, this may lead to the discovery of novel mechanisms of disease and potentially novel targets of treatment for SARDs patients with lung disease.

When you live with type 1 diabetes (T1D), it is easy to feel alone. Managing your own T1D or your child's T1D takes constant effort that is invisible to most people. Often, the only people who really understand what you are going through are other people in similar situations, but it's hard to find those people, especially when there are other aspects of your life that might be different from others with T1D. For example, you might have a very young child with T1D, you might be racialized and deal with racism in health care on top of T1D, you might be going through menopause with T1D, you might be aging out of provincial or parental device coverage, you might speak a different language from most people around you with T1D, or any one of many other things that make your situation unique. This project aims to create regular, small online meetings via Zoom or similar technologies to bring together people across Canada who are managing T1D (their own and/or their child's) who have other things in common. We will create these small groups that will meet monthly as well as larger monthly webinars covering topics of interest. We will track how people like the groups, how they feel, what they like and don't like, and adjust the program accordingly. This project is led by researchers and others who themselves live with T1D. We believe that this kind of peer support can be extremely helpful to people with T1D and it will provide needed mental health support.

This phase 3 clinical trial compares the safety and efficacy of palazestrant (OP-1250) to the standard-of-care options of fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor in women and men with breast cancer whose disease has advanced on one endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
