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.
A randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paltusotine (also known as CRN00808; an orally administered nonpeptide somatostatin agonist) in subjects with acromegaly previously treated with somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) based treatment regimens.
To assess the effect of FDY-5301 on cardiovascular mortality and acute heart failure events in subjects with an anterior STEMI undergoing pPCI.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women in reproductive age with an estimated prevalence of 5% to 19.5%. It is a chronic complex syndrome with psychological (depression and anxiety), reproductive and metabolic abnormalities. The etiology seems to be multifactorial. Lately, interest regarding the association between PCOS women and gut macrobiotic have been emerged. Hyperandrogenism was correlated with those changes in the microbiota which reflects the fact that the microbiome can influence the development and pathology of PCOS . Therefore, aim of this study is to explore the diversity and alternations of the vaginal and the gut microbiome in patients with PCOS during common therapeutic interventions and connect them to different phenotypes of the syndrome.
Infants will be monitored by TcCO2 during three consecutive time periods of one hour each on a high and low rate of NIPPV, when in a stable condition. NIPPV rate will start high/low, changed to low/high and switched back to starting rate.
A national screening program for children aged 9 months-5 years that will be tested for the presence of islet autoantibodies.Up to 50,000 Children will be screened by their primary care physician all over Israel. The initial screening will be done at the age of 1 year (in conjunction with the routinely collection of blood for CBC ) and repeated at ages 2-5 years. Antibodies will be measured in capillary blood samples using the Ultrasensitive Antibody Detection by Agglutination-PCR (ADAP) technology developed by Enable Biosciences, which is 1,000-10,000 times more analytically sensitive than currently used methods. By using this innovative technology in such a large cohort, the study is anticipated to detect antibodies at an unprecedented earlier age.When positive in the screening, multiple antibodies will be confirmed by a second sample analyzed by the ADAP technology. In addition, multiple antibodies will be also measured using a radio-binding assay (RBA) of a venous blood sample for investigational purpose only. Children with confirmed multiple antibodies (stage 1 or 2 T1D) will be followed up routinely for the appearance of clinical signs of diabetes (HbA1c, repeated OGTT, monitoring of urine and blood glucose where indicated) and will be invited along with their families to attend an educational program. This program will include diabetes education emphasizing on DKA prevention as well as stress assessment for the families involved and stress alleviating interventions. The analysis and storage of the samples will be done in a single screening center at Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel.
Bronchiolitis is an infectious disease, with no effective treatment. Music and Mozart's works specifically, has been shown to have a positive effect on physiological parameters, while environmental noise is considered to be harmful. We aimed to evaluate the short-time effect of listening to music and detachment from environmental noise on the severity of bronchiolitis in hospitalized children.
Pulmonary aspiration is one of the most serious risks of general anesthesia and has been reported to occur in as many as 1 in 4000 cases of general anesthesia. Gastric ultrasound is an emerging point-of-care tool that provides bedside information on gastric content and volume. There have been a few factors which are thought to increase gastric size. Delayed gastric emptying such as caused by gastroparesis in Diabetes Mellitus is an example. Certain surgeries also cause gastroparesis. Other preoperative factors including pain, preoperative anxiety, and blood levels of estradiol or progesterone are less well studied.
This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible participants. This program is designed to provide access to Telisotuzumab vedotin prior to approval by the local regulatory agency. Availability will depend on territory eligibility. A medical doctor must decide whether the potential benefit outweighs the risk of receiving an investigational therapy based on the individual patient's medical history and program eligibility criteria.
Intravitreal injections (IVI) are the mainstay of treatment modality in many ophthalmologic diseases including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusions. Patients endure monthly IVI for several years. Although standardized topical anesthesia protocols are being carried out, many still suffer from pain during and after the procedure. Previous studies at the investigators clinic have demonstrated that alpha-agonist eye drops and cool eye compresses can be successfully used in order to reduce pain levels when administered prior to IVI. In the current research, the investigators wish to study whether cooled anesthetic eye drops and antiseptics can be utilized as well to reduce the pain and subconjunctival hemorrhage caused by bevacizumab IVI.
Minimal or absent of diurnal fluctuation in blood pressure, and specifically conditions in which BP values are elevated during the night compared to daytime (rather than "nighttime dipping"), are associated with higher rates of morbidity and all-cause mortality. However, there is a gap in the scientific literature as to the optimal, individualized, timing of administration of antihypertensive drugs to balance daytime/nighttime fluctuations in BP to reduce the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality. To date, the most widely used method for semi-continuous, ambulatory monitoring of BP is a Holter, cuff-based monitor, which is cumbersome to use and therefore results in low patient compliance. Despite various attempts to overcome this problem, practical, patient-friendly methods for continuous BP monitoring throughout the day and night are currently not available. Thus, the main of this study was to investigate whether there is a differential effect of timing of administration of antihypertensive drugs on diurnal fluctuations in BP using a wearable, cuff-less sensor with continuous monitoring capabilities. It is hypothesized that evening medication will improve BP fluctuations throughout the day (e.g., allow nighttime dipping and prevent morning surges) to a greater extend than morning meditation in people with hypertension.
