General resources for further research

• Canadian Clinical Trial Search Portal (Health Canada)

  Health Canada's public search of the drug and biologic clinical trials it has authorised in Canada (phase 1 to 3, since April 2013). Search by condition, drug, or trial status and see where trials are running. It replaced the Health Canada Clinical Trials Database in July 2026. A listing is not enrolment, and Health Canada does not recruit patients: ask your clinician and contact the trial sponsor.
