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.
The aim of this study is to assess the findings of mediastinal/hilar LN sampling by EBUS-TBNA in patients with non-sarcoidosis interstitial lung disease ( ILD) who demonstrate LN enlargement on chest imaging. Patients with non-sarcoidosis ILD referred for bronchoscopy will undergo LN sampling by EBUS-TBNA. Cytology results will be recorded along with clinico-radiologic features, BAL findings, histology and final ILD diagnosis.
Studies demonstrated that fungi have a complex, multifaceted role in the gastrointestinal tract and are active participants in directly influencing health and disease through fungal-bacterial, fungal-fungal and fungal-host interactions. Fungi have been linked with a number of gastrointestinal diseases including IBD, However, the exact role of fungal colonization in the pathophysiology of "IBD" (inflammatory bowel diseases) is not precisely defined. Aim to evaluate the impact of "Mycodigest" supplementation to IBD patients on: Clinical response and remission rates , Quality of life, Inflammatory markers, Fecal microbiome
The investigators postulate that by determining a patient's baseline microbiome and manipulating it through fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) may improve response rates to vedolizumab in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Primary objective: To determine whether manipulation of gut microbiome by FMT pre vedolizumab treatment is safe and results in higher remission rates in CD patients. Study design: A randomized double blinded controlled clinical trial. Study population:CD patients 18-65 YO, men and women, with mild-moderately active disease determined by the Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) of 5≤HBI≤15, who were found eligible to commence treatment with vedolizumab. Study procedure: Study participants will receive FMT within a week prior to first vedolizumab infusion. All patients will be followed for 46 weeks in 8 visits at the IBD clinic in the GI department of the Tel Aviv Medical Center.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sarilumab relative to the control arm in adult participants hospitalized with severe or critical Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Secondary Objectives: - Evaluate the 28-day survival rate. - Evaluate the clinical efficacy of sarilumab compared to the control arm by clinical severity. - Evaluate changes in the National Early Warning Score 2. - Evaluate the duration of predefined symptoms and signs (if applicable). - Evaluate the duration of supplemental oxygen dependency (if applicable). - Evaluate the incidence of new mechanical ventilation use during the study. - Evaluate the duration of new mechanical ventilation use during the Study. - Evaluate the proportion of participants requiring rescue medication during the 28-day period. - Evaluate need for admission into intensive care unit. - Evaluate duration of hospitalization (days). - The secondary safety objectives of the study were to evaluate the safety of sarilumab through hospitalization (up to Day 29 if participant was still hospitalized) compared to the control arm as assessed by incidence of: - Serious adverse events. - Major or opportunistic bacterial or fungal infections in participants with grade 4 neutropenia. - Grade greater than or equal to (>=) 2 infusion related reactions. - Grade >=2 hypersensitivity reactions. - Increase in alanine transaminase (ALT) >=3X upper limit of normal (ULN) (for participants with normal baseline) or greater than 3X ULN AND at least 2-fold increase from baseline value (for participants with abnormal baseline). - Major or opportunistic bacterial or fungal infections.
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who require surgery. Inflammation of the ileal pouch (pouchitis) occurs in up to 60% of pouch patients. Although, pouchitis patients are former UC patients, the disease occurs in the small intestine, similarly to Crohn's disease (CD). Further, the disease can be clinically similar to CD, involving the proximal gastro-intestinal tract and causing strictures, fistula, or perianal disease. The Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) reduces exposure to all the components identified in rodent models as well as two components that are highly suspect but have not been investigated in models. The diet also provides dietary components that may favor species (especially SCFA producers) which appear to be deficient in CD. The investigator therefore aims to examine the microbial, mucosal and immunological changes of the pouch during one year post IPAA, and examine the impact of the CDED on disease activity and dysbiosis in a cohort of adults suffering from active pouchitis.
This study was designed as an open label, feasibility, single-center, cross-over prospective study in women with stress urinary incontinence. Subjects served as their own control.
Skin barrier impairment and familial atopy have been implicated as crucial risk factors for the development of atopic dermatitis (AD). Additional risk factors have been explored, including gestational weight, height, age, familial smoking habits, proximity to urban centers and others. However, a comprehensive study focusing on the entire spectrum of risk factors has yet to be undertaken. Such a study could enable predictive capabilities able to inform medical professionals as to a newborn's inherent risk to develop AD, and potentially recommend appropriate preventative modalities to prevent or delay disease onset.
Study on adult patients positive to COVID-19 virus. After signing informed consent and undergoing screening assessments, eligible patients will record few times a day several pre-defined sentences to the Cordio App installed in a smartphone/tablet. The app will upload the vocal data to the sponsor's servers for analysis. The patient will record at hospital admittance (COVID-19 positive) until patient defined as COVID-19 negative and free of relevant clinical symptoms.
The long-term goals of the project are: 1) Preventing falls before they occur, by significantly improving our ability to monitor fall risk and develop early and sensitive markers for this risk, based on tripping and near falls and other physiological signs, 2) automatically diagnosing falls within seconds from the time of the incident, without the need for an emergency / distress button or making a phone call.
The primary objective of this study is to provide expanded access of remdesivir (RDV) for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) infection.
