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 use of Mifepristone, an antiprogesterone, and Misoprostol together, has been shown to make the medial abortion process more efficient and reduce the induction-to-abortion interval by almost 50%. Despite the recommended 24-48 Mifepristone-Misoprostol interval, recent retrospective study of a flexible interval, have revealed shorter total abortion time with shorter intervals. In this study we aim to compare 24 to 12 hours Mifepristone to Misoprostol intervals
PSMA (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen) is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. The 68Ga-PSMA PET / CT test, using small molecules that bind to the PSMA protein and undergo intercellularization, is a test that has been shown to be more sensitive and specific than other conventional and molecular imaging modalities (CT, MRI, bone mapping, Disease in prostate cancer patients and its consequences often change therapeutic decisions in patients. In light of this, the examination of the health basket of the State of Israel was introduced to the staging of patients at moderate or high risk, as well as to the extent of the disease in patients with biochemical failure. However, testing with 68Ga-PSMA has several limitations, resulting from the use of 68 Ga, which can be overcome by switching to fluorine-18 (18F) -based materials: A. The generation capacity of the generator is low and therefore limits the number of tests that can be performed at a given time. In contrast, 18F is produced in cyclotron. B. 68 Ga has a short half-life of 68 minutes, which is a logical consequence of its availability to remote medical centers from the place of production, the time of the test and the patient's comfort, and the possibility of subsequent mappings. The half-life of 18F is 110 minutes. third. 18F has less energy than 68Ga (0.65 MEV vs. 1.9) and, as a result, a better maximum resolution that would potentially enable the demonstration of smaller lymph nodes involved in the disease. Among the fluorine-18 (18F) materials selected for clinical application is 18F-PSMA-1007, both because the uptake is higher in the tumor than in the background, and because its removal is mainly the pathobiliary and only a small fraction of the material is released in the urine. This is another advantage of 18F-PSMA-1007 over 68Ga-PSMA, potentially enabling a better demonstration of disease sites in the pelvis, without significant absorption of the bladder material. To date, accumulated promising experience, in Germany, in imaging with 18F-PSMA-1007. In one published case, 17 degenerative disease sites were detected in one patient with biochemical failure 9 years after undergoing radical prostatectomy, which was not demonstrated by other imaging modalities, including CT, MRI and bone mapping
This aim of this study is to determine the impact of lifestyle on telomere length and telomerase enzyme activity on sperm cells of men undergoing IVF treatments.
CAR T cells targeting CD19 have been approved for patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, failing two or more prior protocols. Several institutional-based studies with other CAR T cells targeting CD19 have demonstrated outstanding response rates in patients with refractory disease, and the ability of CAR T cells to clear CNS leukemia. Nevertheless, these cases are sparse and have never been reported collectively. Here, we aim to retrospectively assess toxicity and long term outcome of patients treated with CAR T cells for CNS relapse of ALL.
This is a randomized, double blind, active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter 52-week Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of benralizumab 30 mg versus mepolizumab 300 mg administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection in patients with relapsing or refractory EGPA on corticosteroid therapy with or without stable immunosuppressive therapy. All patients who complete the 52-week double-blind treatment period on IP may be eligible to continue into an open label extension (OLE) period. The OLE period is intended to allow each patient at least 1 year of treatment with open-label benralizumab 30 mg administered SC (earlier enrolled patients may therefore be in the OLE for longer than 1 year).
Skin aging is a continuous and inevitable presses usually starting at the age of mid-twenties, this prosses affects all facial layers including skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), deep facia, the retaining ligaments, muscle activity, and even facial bony structure . The clinical outcome of this process causes the aging signs of the face and neck, including loose facial skin, sagging cheeks, excess skin hanging from the lower jawline and excess fat in the neck . In the last decade with the introduction of absorbable threads, thread lifting has gained interest and popularity among patients and physicians, as noninvasive technique to treat ptotic skin and reposition of ptotic soft tissue into a more anatomical direction. Histopathological studies indicated that dermal and subcutaneous foreign body reaction after inserting the threads, in forms of collagen deposition, and fibrosis , could explain the tightening effect throughout contracture and remodeling. However, some studies question efficacy especially in the aspects of durability and patient satisfaction . Another nonsurgical alternative for facial rejuvenation is high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy, during the past decade, HIFU has been used as a clinical noninvasive surgical tool to treat tumors, including those of the liver, prostate, and uterus (10-12) The HIFU devices heat tissue with acoustic energy in a focused, controlled manner. The thermal injury within the tissue leads to focal necrosis and cellular damage, initiating an inflammatory cascade that culminates in tissue remodeling, similar to changes that occur after ablative or nonablative laser treatments . The Investigators hypothesis that the HIFU treatment followed immediately by thread insertion can amplify and enhance the skin fibrosis, tissue lifting capacity and might give better and longer clinical results in treating ptotic skin.
Atrial fibrillation and inflammation are strongly correlated. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether inflammation markers (alpha Defensin) predict maintenance of sinus rhythm following cardioversion. A secondary aim is to evaluate the role of Colchicine, an anti-inflammatory medication, in reducing the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation.
This study evaluate the effect of Vestibular rehabilitation program as part of physical therapy during rehabilitation post stroke. half of participants will receive vestibular exercise as part of the physiotherpy session, while the other half will receive a conservative physiotherapy session.
Primary Objectives: - Study is designed with two primary endpoints that will be analyzed on randomized participants at the time of the cut-off date for each given analysis (progression free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS]) - Study success is defined either on PFS or OS - The primary objective is to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the progression free survival (PFS) when compared to docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) - The primary objective is to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the overall survival (OS) when compared with docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Secondary Objectives: - To compare the objective response rate (ORR) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel - To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel - To evaluate the safety of tusamitamab ravtansine compared to docetaxel - To assess the duration of response (DOR) of tusamitamab ravtansine as compared with docetaxel
This Is a Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib in Combination with Ifosfamide and Etoposide Versus Ifosfamide and Etoposide in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults with Relapsed or Refractory Osteosarcoma.
