There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Purpose and rationale: To demonstrate similar efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of SOK583A1 and Eylea EU as per Eylea approved treatment regimen in patients with nAMD. The primary clinical question of interest is: Does SOK583A1 have similar efficacy as Eylea EU in terms of mean change in BCVA score in participants with nAMD who are anti-VEGF naive, without important protocol deviations and adherent to the treatment and completed the treatment to Week 8?
On behalf of the Israel CLL study group the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The purpose of the study is to develop new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) protocols and methods for image processing and enhancement. Different setting of acquisition parameters used in conventional clinical MRI protocols will be defined, to create "New Protocols". Then post-processing will be applied on new protocols to enhance the image quality. Finally a comparison of image quality will be performed to compare the image quality of images obtained by conventional protocols with those obtained with the New Protocols.
Prospective (analysis of retrospective data), multi-center, observational, single-arm study. This structure was selected as the "worst case" due to the fact that it represents real life usage of invasive FFR measurement is performed mostly in "gray zone" cases, which are that their severity cannot be determined intuitively and based on the physician eyeball. By using real-world historical data of invasive FFR, the analysis of the obtained data can ensure that the study results are expected to include invasive FFR results that are in the grey zone, when invasive FFR is used in real life and represent the real expected use of the product. Furthermore, the analysis of the data obtained in the studies with these similar devices measuring FFR obtained from angiograms was actually performed in a retrospective manner. That is, although the angiographic images and pressure wire recordings were obtained in real-time, due to the need to mark the vessel in real-time and obtain specific projections during the procedure without which the FFR cannot be calculated, the primary endpoint (sensitivity and specificity) and accuracy were determined in all studies by a post-hoc review by a similar independent QCA core laboratory. The invasive FFR data, as well as the software generated FFR data were reviewed post-hoc by a core laboratory or even at the company.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crovalimab in adult and adolescent participants with aHUS.
A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center therapeutic study for patients age 3 and older with confirmed diagnosis of Niemann Pick disease type C1 (NPC1). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2000 mg/kg dose of Trappsol Cyclo (hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin) administered intravenously compared to standard of care. An open-label sub-study in countries following European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidance will enroll asymptomatic or symptomatic patients from infancy up to age 3 to evaluate safety in that population.
The aim of this study is to check for the presence of COVID 19 antibodies [Covid-19, GAD-65, IA-2, ICA] in the blood of laboring women who have been exposed to either the virus itself or to the vaccine during pregnancy . The same test will be done on cord blood. Then the types of antibodies will be compared, between maternal and neonatal blood. The blood will be taken along with routine blood tests without additional punctures of Mother or Baby.
The study is conducted to record continuous electrophysiological signals from intact and ischemic bowel tissue during colonic resection surgery, in order to train the Exero Medical Leak Detection System classification algorithm on detection of ischemic conditions.
Background: COVID-19 is consistently spreading throughout the world, and the number of recovered patients is steadily increasing. Accordingly, a significant number of individuals will develop persisting post-COVID symptoms, while many of them will report on lasting fatigue. The main objective of the current study is to assess risk factors for the development of post-COVID-19 fatigue symptoms. As a secondary aim, the current study is intended to identify pathophysiology and explanatory mechanisms for the post-COVID-19 fatigue. Study design and population: a nested case-control study will be conducted at Rabin Medical Center (RMC), Beilinson Hospital. RMC runs a post-COVID-19 clinic for adult (age ≥18 years) recovered individuals (diagnosed using a polymerase chain reaction test from a nasopharyngeal sample), who are invited for a comprehensive medical evaluation. During a visit, all individuals undergo pulmonary function testing and an evaluation by an infectious diseases physician, a pulmonologist, and a social worker. The cohort of recovered COVID-19 individuals evaluated at RMC will serve as the population from which the current study participants will be consecutively sampled. The cases would be defined as such if report on lasting fatigue symptoms which appeared following COVID-19, while at least two months have elapsed since COVID-19 diagnosis and the lasting fatigue symptoms are present for at least six weeks. The controls would be defined as those that did not report on fatigue symptoms at any time point since one month following their diagnosis with COVID-19. Evaluation protocol of cases and controls: All participating individuals (cases and controls) will be assessed following the study protocol. The assessment will be conducted as follows: First assessment meeting (approximately one hour long) in which the participant will undergo physical examination and blood tests, fill the study questionnaires [demographic, clinical and post-COVID fatigue questionnaire; sleep assessment questionnaires (Epworth sleepiness score [ESS], Pittsburg sleep quality index [PSQI], Insomnia severity index (ISI)]) and depression severity questionnaire (the patient health questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9]), and conduct cognitive fatigue task. Second assessment meeting: (approximately one hour long) in which the participants will undergo a cardiopulmonary stress test (CPET). Data collection: The main dependent variable will be the presence of continuing fatigue symptoms. The independent variables included demographic and clinical characteristics. The demographic variables will include: age at diagnosis, sex, marital status and number of children, occupational status (employed, unemployed, or retired), education (number of years at school and higher education), and occupation. The clinical variables will include: smoking status, alcohol and cannabis consumption, basic physical function (independent, limited in certain activities, dependent in activities of daily living, or bedridden), background illnesses, and pharmacotherapy. The acute COVID-19 history will be also collected: disease severity according to the WHO criteria, symptoms (sore throat, nasal congestion, headache anosmia/disguesia, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and myalgia), need for hospitalization, hospital complications (veno-thromboembolism, super-imposed bacterial infections), for individuals who were not hospitalized - the site of isolation (home, hotel or another isolation facility) will be collected, time from onset to symptoms resolution, pharmacotherapy directed at COVID-19, and information of other household or family members who were also diagnosed. Statistical methods: Demographic and clinical variables of the patients with fatigue symptoms (cases) and control group (free from fatigue symptoms) will be compared using bivariate and multivariable conditional logistic regression models. Independent variables will be selected to be included in the multivariable model based on the bivariate analysis. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be obtained from the conditional logistic regression models. P<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Sample size calculation: Disease severity may serve as a potential risk factor for the development of lasting fatigue symptoms. A preliminary analysis revealed that in our cohort of recovered COVID-19 patients, 20% were hospitalized due to their disease's severity. We will therefore assume that the proportions of individuals required hospitalization during the acute phase were 30% and 10% of the cases and controls, respectively. It is also likely that approximately two thirds of our sample would report on persisting fatigue. Under these assumptions, a sample size of 153 individuals (102 in the cases group and 51 in the control group) will yield a statistical power of 80% at a significance level of 5% for detecting a difference of 0.2 between two proportions.
